Aviation catering — Šiauliai, Lithuania
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Šiauliai (EYSA / SQQ)
SQQ (IATA) · EYSA (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held for this ramp lets a full-size aircraft take a three-cabin uplift straight from a hi-loader, not from a cart left at the foot of the stairs. Inflight catering here runs from a sealed kitchen through airside access to galley height, and that in-flight catering method is what a scheduled, charter or government rotation books.

Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at Šiauliai
Two runways and a wide-body reference code give Šiauliai the ramp access a full-size aircraft needs, and every catering uplift here is planned against that same apron geometry. The route runs from a sealed kitchen cart, across the apron, to the galley door, with the hi-loader closing the gap that a foot-of-stairs delivery never could. Nothing on that route is estimated: it is the same sequence, worked the same way, on every rotation through SQQ.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Šiauliai sit screening, an escort through airside, and apron traffic sharing the same wide-body movements. We plan every galley catering run against the worst case those three present, never against the easiest one, so the chain of custody holds regardless of what the apron is doing that hour.
Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the galley door, with a signature closing each load. That paired record is what lets a catering uplift into Šiauliai be checked after the fact, not just trusted at the time.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing else in between.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Šiauliai airport departures

Airline food supplier crews cleared for SQQ
Airport catering for Šiauliai runs from a single flight kitchen built to hold hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart that leaves for the ramp. That is what makes airport catering at EYSA a matter of one accountable kitchen rather than a string of separate hand-offs.
The team that handles government flight catering at Šiauliai is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled for the occasion. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for airside movement, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer or a house manager is actually checking for.
VIP flight catering menus for Šiauliai (SQQ) departures
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at EYSA
Menus for Šiauliai departures are written to the cabin, the mission and the season, then adapted rather than reissued from a generic set. Local sourcing draws on the dairy, fish and orchard produce of Lithuania where the season allows it, worked into a specification rather than left to a description on a card. Inflight catering at EYSA is planned this way across every cabin, from the forward seats to the last row of the main cabin. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, and labelled before they ever reach the tray.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins departing Šiauliai are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and full VIP flight catering service available on request rather than fixed to a single set course.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SQQ take a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements for household, religious and medical passengers are documented individually, covering halal, kosher and the full range of special meal codes. Every one of those sets is produced on its own line and sealed before it leaves it, which is how inflight catering at Šiauliai keeps each requirement traceable to one passenger.

HACCP and sealed transfer for aircraft catering at Šiauliai (SQQ)
Flight catering airside delivery at EYSA / SQQ
Two runways and a wide-body reference code put Šiauliai in the category of field that can take a full-size aircraft rather than only regional traffic, and that single fact shapes every rotation catered here: a delegation is worked as a documentation problem, a peak wave as a capacity problem, a repeat rotation as a consistency problem, and each is planned differently from the kitchen before the aircraft is even on the stand.
The uplift itself moves from a sealed kitchen cart across the apron to the aircraft, boarded to galley height rather than left at the foot of the stairs, with our own escorted crew on the ramp for the whole route. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering in Lithuania run off that one sequence for every operator using this field, and airline catering in Šiauliai is planned stand by stand rather than assumed to be identical from one rotation to the next.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator named to the rotation, carts sealed before they leave the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft door, which is how airport catering at Šiauliai stays accountable end to end.

“Our team used the service at Šiauliai (SQQ/EYSA) for government flight catering with strict timing and handling requirements. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Charter operator
John — Operations Desk Manager
“For a VIP rotation through Šiauliai (SQQ/EYSA), we used the team for VIP airliner catering. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. Exactly the level of detail we expect for VIP flying. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Antoine — Station Performance Manager
“We arranged pilgrim flight catering for a group movement through Šiauliai (SQQ/EYSA). The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. A dependable choice for group charter operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at Šiauliai (SQQ)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Šiauliai (SQQ)
What operations gets asked every week about Šiauliai.
Ask operations directly →Which halal, kosher and special meal codes does SQQ produce?
The loader carries every SPML code booked against the flight, with halal and kosher sets produced on a dedicated line and documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
When does EYSA need the order placed, and how late can it change?
Once the flight is confirmed we take the initial specification, and as soon as a cabin count or a dietary code changes we rework the load rather than treat it as a new order, right up to a defined cut-off before departure.
How does Šiauliai handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering?
Šiauliai runs VIP flight catering and government flight catering under the same protocol file: cleared staff, a documented passenger list, and a cart sealed at the kitchen before it reaches the aircraft.
What private jet catering does Šiauliai airport deliver to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
We deliver FBO catering to every operator on the field and to the GA terminal directly, on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled airline uplift.
Can you give an airline catering cost for SQQ in advance?
The figure turns on cabin count, specification and loading window, so we do not publish a price list; send the rotation details and the desk returns a quotation.
