Aviation catering — Kaunas, Lithuania
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Kaunas (EYKA / KUN)
KUN (IATA) · EYKA (ICAO)
The 3250 m runway at Kaunas takes wide-body movements onto stands where our hi-loaders bring inflight catering straight to galley height, no ground trolley stage between kitchen and cabin door. We run in-flight catering for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights off one ops desk, uplift after uplift.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at EYKA / KUN
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Kaunas (KUN)
Ramp access is what separates a measured loading window from a guess: our crews move the sealed cart from kitchen to stand without a handover at the aircraft steps. At Kaunas, each catering uplift is logged from the moment it leaves the kitchen to the moment the galley door closes, and the apron crossing itself is timed rather than assumed. That record is what a diversion or a tight turnaround at EYKA is planned against.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Kaunas sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and every catering uplift is planned against the worst combination of the three rather than the average one. The convoy carrying a galley catering load is the actual point of risk on this route, not the food inside it, so the route and the escort are fixed before the cart ever leaves the kitchen. Temperatures are logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and a signature closes the load at the aircraft, tying the chain of custody to one named person at each end.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the signature at the aircraft.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Kaunas
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Kaunas, Lithuania
Airport catering at KUN is provisioned from a kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, run to HACCP across every section rather than only on the export line. Where the aircraft sits on the wide-body reference code stands at Kaunas, that layout is what lets a full three-cabin order and a single crew tray leave the same shift without crossing paths. Airport catering in Lithuania, worked this way, keeps the cold chain unbroken from the larder to the sealed cart.
The team handling government flight catering at Kaunas is the same named group on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the apron, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift move from larder to aircraft without a new briefing each time.
VIP flight catering menus for KUN departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at EYKA / KUN
Menus at Kaunas are written to the cabin first, then to the mission, then to the season, rather than to a single fixed inflight catering standard applied everywhere. Lithuanian dairy, lake and river fish, and orchard fruit in season sit alongside a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu built for longer rotations. Every set is documented against allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed. That paperwork travels with the tray, not behind it, so the crew boarding at EYKA can match each box to its passenger without a second check.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Kaunas are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed set menu, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request. VIP flight catering at KUN is filed against the standing order for each operator, so a repeat rotation boards to the same presentation every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at EYKA run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in their own sealed boxes, with crew meals in Lithuania rostered separately from the passenger tray sets so a crew change never touches the cabin load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Kaunas are documented per passenger before the tray is built, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes. Household, religious and medical requirements are produced on a separate line and sealed there, so inflight catering at KUN for one passenger never shares a bench with the standard cabin run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Kaunas airport
Kaunas carries scheduled, charter and government traffic onto a single wide-body reference code stand system, so a state delegation and a peak charter wave are planned against the same apron rather than separate ones. A delegation on the ground here is a documentation problem before it is a service one, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition problem: the same tray specification has to land the same way every time it lands at all.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by hi-loader, boarding at galley height rather than being handed off at the foot of the steps, with the loading crew working the same route on every rotation regardless of which class of flight is on the stand. Airside delivery here is planned around the single runway's traffic rhythm, so the convoy timing is fixed before the aircraft is even on approach. Airline catering at Kaunas, aviation catering at Kaunas, inflight catering in Kaunas, in-flight catering in Lithuania and airport catering in Kaunas all run off the same ops desk and the same sealed-cart method, whatever the flight code on the movement.
One coordinator holds the loading sheet for the whole rotation, sealed carts leave the kitchen already counted against it, and a signed handover closes the load at the aircraft.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at Kaunas, Lithuania
01
Government and state flight catering at EYKA
Onto the wide-body reference code stands at Kaunas, a head of state aircraft is worked to the same apron plan as any other movement, with the protocol layer built around it rather than improvised on the day. Government flight catering here documents every passenger file, assigns security-cleared staff, and seals the uplift at the kitchen before it leaves for the stand, with catering at KUN logged the same way on every state movement.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at KUN
Loading a private airliner onto the wide-body reference code stands at Kaunas means sequencing the galleys to a household order rather than a standard cabin plan, and that sequence has to hold across every repeat visit. Royal flight catering here keeps a written specification on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request and catering at EYKA logged against the same file each time.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Kaunas
3250 metres of runway is enough to bring a fully loaded wide-body charter onto the Kaunas stands without a weight restriction on the uplift. Charter flight catering at KUN for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and multi-leg rotations runs a full three-cabin load counted against the loading sheet, with charter flight catering in Kaunas staged in the order the galleys are laid out on arrival.

Airline and ad hoc catering at EYKA
A wide-body movement on the reference code stands at Kaunas can be worked as a scheduled turnaround or as an unplanned call, and both run off the same duty roster. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering are all worked from that roster, with crew meals in Lithuania and crew meals at Kaunas boxed separately from the cabin load across a multi-leg rotation, AOG included.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at KUN
Our crews work the same 3250 m runway approach that brings a wide-body onto the Kaunas stands to reach the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field with business aviation loads. Private jet catering in Lithuania, delivered this way, runs FBO catering and business aviation catering on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as a business jet catering uplift for a scheduled airline movement.

“Our sports movement through Kaunas (KUN/EYKA) required sports team flight meals on a tight schedule. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. We would book them again for another team movement. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Stefan — VIP Aviation Coordinator
“For an urgent mission at Kaunas (KUN/EYKA), the team supported us with repatriation flight catering. The team understood that reliability mattered more than complexity and stayed flexible until uplift. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Giorgio — Crew Operations Coordinator
“Our freighter crew needed cargo airline catering at Kaunas (KUN/EYKA) during a short turnaround. Meals arrived on time and were packed practically for a working crew rather than over-presented. A reliable option for cargo operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at KUN
What operations gets asked every week about Kaunas.
Ask operations directly →When can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at KUN?
When a business aviation movement is confirmed on the field, our crews deliver FBO catering to the GA terminal and every FBO on it, on the same schedule as an airline uplift.
Where are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes documented at EYKA?
The passenger file records every SPML code requested, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line and matched to that file before the tray is sealed.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at Kaunas?
Kaunas is worked by hi-loader from our kitchen straight to galley height, so airside delivery never passes through a handover at the foot of the steps.
What does airline catering cost at Kaunas Airport?
We quote against cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, since no fixed price list applies across missions; the desk returns a quotation once those three are known.
Which protocol governs VIP flight catering and government flight catering at KUN?
The hi-loader and sealed-cart route used for every rotation also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering, under the same protocol file and security clearance on every movement.
Is there a minimum lead time for an order at EYKA?
The coordinator confirms how far in advance a standard order needs to be placed, while last minute airline catering is worked case by case against the loading window still open.
