Aviation catering — Vilnius, Lithuania
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Vilnius (EYVI / VNO)
VNO (IATA) · EYVI (ICAO)
A 2515 m runway holds this station's aerodrome reference code at wide-body, so full three-cabin rotations load here rather than divert to a larger field nearby. We run inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader uplift straight to galley height on the wide-body stands, cutting the ramp step that a foot-of-aircraft handover always adds.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at EYVI / VNO
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Vilnius airport
Ramp access is what actually decides a catering uplift at Vilnius: once the sealed cart clears the apron gate, the rest of the sequence runs on a fixed clock rather than on traffic. The wide-body reference code held here means the hi-loader lifts direct to galley height, so the load never sits at the foot of the aircraft waiting on a second handler. That single step is what the loading window at VNO is built to protect.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Vilnius sit a security screening point, an escort requirement and the apron traffic proper to a single-runway field, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst of those three rather than the average. Every catering uplift here travels under seal, with the temperature logged at the kitchen door and logged again at the aircraft. That second signature is the point at which chain of custody passes from our crew to the galley, and it is recorded, not assumed.
The seal that leaves our kitchen is the same seal a crew member signs for at the galley.
Crew meals from the flight kitchen serving Vilnius
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Vilnius (VNO)
The facility that provisions Vilnius runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, which lets airport catering here move from a single order desk instead of splitting a rotation across separate suppliers. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, and it applies identically to a scheduled tray run and to a diplomatic uplift. That single standard is what makes airport catering repeatable, rotation after rotation, at Vilnius.
The team assigned to government flight catering at EYVI is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster drawn from the wider kitchen floor. Each member holds a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the sealed area, and is trained to the household and protocol standards a delegation movement requires. That continuity is what a protocol desk is actually checking for when it asks who touches a sealed catering load at VNO.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Vilnius
VVIP catering to a written specification at Vilnius, Lithuania
Every menu that leaves the kitchen for Vilnius is written to the cabin it boards and the mission it flies, not to a single fixed cycle repeated regardless of aircraft. First and Business follow separate specifications from the main cabin, and a charter flight menu is built differently again from a scheduled rotation. Where the season allows, dairy, fish and orchard produce sourced from the surrounding region sit alongside the standing tray sets, so inflight catering here carries some local weight without depending on it. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Vilnius are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against that standing order, not improvised per rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at EYVI run on multi-choice hot service built to a galley-ready tray format, with crew meals and cabin crew meals boxed separately from the passenger load. Pilot meals follow their own specification again, kept apart from the rest of the cart for the whole rotation.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements for household, religious and medical passengers are documented per person before a flight leaves Vilnius, covering halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering produced against those codes is prepared on a separate line and sealed before it joins the rest of the load.

Flight catering airside delivery at EYVI
Vilnius carries a mixed traffic profile of scheduled, charter and government movements across its single wide-body stand, which means a delegation arrival is handled as a documentation problem first and a peak charter wave as a capacity one, rather than treating every rotation the same way. Airline catering at EYVI is planned against whichever of those two pressures the day's schedule actually presents.
Every load leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by escorted route to the stand, where hi-loader boarding lifts it to galley height without a handover at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at EYVI and aviation catering in Vilnius both run off that same route, so a scheduled tray run and a charter uplift share one ramp path rather than two.
One coordinator is named to each rotation, carts are sealed at the kitchen and again logged at handover, and airport catering at VNO closes on a signature rather than a delivery note, while inflight catering at VNO is tracked against the same loading window throughout.
Charter flight catering and state missions at Vilnius (VNO)
01
Government and state flight catering at VNO
Into Vilnius, the wide-body reference code that governs the stand also governs how a delegation aircraft of that size is worked, so a head of state movement is planned on the same ramp geometry as any other wide-body arrival. Government flight catering here runs on a documented protocol file per passenger, security-cleared staff, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Vilnius
Loading a private airliner around a fixed household schedule is the constraint the wide-body reference code at EYVI is built to absorb, since the same stand and hi-loader serve a BBJ or ACJ exactly as they would a scheduled wide-body. Royal flight catering and VVIP provisioning here follow a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at EYVI
2515 metres of runway, and that length keeps this ramp open to ACMI and wet-lease wide-bodies rather than only to narrower charter types. Charter flight catering at Vilnius for group movements and special missions runs as a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet and staged to match the order the galleys are laid out, and charter flight catering at VNO is scheduled on that same sheet rotation after rotation.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at VNO
A wide-body arriving on short notice still boards a full cabin set here, because the aerodrome reference code held at Vilnius keeps the stand and the hi-loader sized for exactly that aircraft rather than a smaller substitute. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed separately across a multi-leg rotation through Lithuania.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Vilnius
We route business aviation traffic at EYVI across the same 2515 m movement area that serves the wide-body stand, so a private jet catering order at VNO travels on the identical cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift. Delivery reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated private-jet branch, after the commercial rotations are covered.

“For a team flight from Vilnius (VNO/EYVI), we booked sports team charter catering with several dietary requests. They handled the nutrition requests well and kept everything organized for fast distribution onboard. Very practical for team and group charter work. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

“For an urgent mission at Vilnius (VNO/EYVI), the team supported us with humanitarian flight catering. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. We appreciated the flexibility. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Pierre — Government Charter Coordinator
“We ordered cargo airline crew catering for a cargo rotation through Vilnius (VNO/EYVI). The crew received the correct quantities and the handover was quick, which is exactly what we needed. We would use them again for another cargo sector. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering reach the aircraft at EYVI?
The seal log shows the route: airside delivery runs from our kitchen to the stand, and hi-loader boarding lifts the sealed cart straight to galley height without a handover at the foot of the aircraft.
Does Vilnius handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
Every delegation and household movement through Vilnius is worked to a documented protocol file per passenger, with VIP flight catering and government flight catering sealed before the cart leaves the kitchen.
Who delivers private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Vilnius International Airport?
On business aviation traffic, our dedicated private-jet branch reaches every FBO catering account on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Is airline catering cost fixed for movements through VNO?
The coordinator assigned to your rotation builds a quotation from cabin count, specification and loading window rather than from a published price list, so airline catering cost is confirmed once those details are set.
