Aviation catering — Arad, Romania
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Arad (LRAR / ARW)
ARW (IATA) · LRAR (ICAO)
A single narrow-body stand and one runway of 2,000 metres set the working rhythm at Arad: every rotation is planned and cleared before the aircraft is on the ground, not worked out on the apron. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering from one ops desk, boarding the three cabins by hi-loader to galley height for wide-body VIP and airline movements alike.

Airport catering order window at Arad airport
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at ARW
Ramp access at Arad is arranged before the cart leaves our kitchen, so the apron crossing is planned rather than improvised on the day. Every catering uplift here follows the same sequence: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the apron, handed over at the galley door against a signature. The single runway and narrow-body reference code at this field mean the sequence is short, and it is held to just as closely as on a wide-body stand elsewhere.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Arad sit airside screening, an escort across the apron, and the traffic that shares the single runway on any given rotation. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest of those, not the average one, so the galley catering reaches the door inside its window regardless of what else is moving that day. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at handover, with temperature logged at both ends and no gap in between where the cart is unaccounted for.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: nothing about this uplift is improvised.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for LRAR / ARW
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at LRAR
Airport catering at Arad runs from a production kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, a measured distance from the single stand this field works. HACCP governs every line in it, from intake to the sealed cart, so a tray set leaving the building is already at the standard the aircraft needs. Airport catering here is built to serve a narrow-body reference code without slowing a rotation that has less margin than a wide-body field allows.
The team behind government flight catering at Arad is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, checked against the access list, and briefed on the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. They are trained to household service standards as well as airline ones, so a protocol movement and a scheduled departure are worked by people who already know the difference. Nothing about who touches the cart changes between one booking and the next.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Arad, Romania
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Arad airport
AERO GOURMET designs its inflight catering menus to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled sector and a government movement are never served off the same standing plan. Romanian produce sits alongside the wider set of dairy, orchard fruit and regional cheese used across the network, worked into menus that shift with what is in season rather than staying static year round. Every dish carries documented allergen data, and halal, kosher and medical sets are built and labelled per passenger, per cabin, before the tray leaves the kitchen. That labelling travels with the cart as far as the galley door, so nothing about a passenger's requirement has to be re-checked on board.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Arad are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order on file. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeated the same way on every rotation, so a protocol movement gets the same result as the one before it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at ARW get multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed in tray sets ready for immediate service. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals and the flight deck are never drawn from the same tray as the passengers.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Arad, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, this inflight catering is kept apart from the main tray run so nothing crosses between the two.

Flight catering airside delivery at Arad
Arad works scheduled, charter and government traffic across one narrow-body stand and a single 2,000-metre runway, so a delegation movement here is a documentation problem worked around a tight ramp rather than a capacity one. A repeat rotation gets the same loading plan every time it lands, because the stand and the runway configuration leave no room to improvise a new one on the day.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, cleared through the airside checkpoint on our own badges, and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all run off the same route and the same ops desk, whatever the flight is carrying. Airport catering at Arad is planned stand by stand, with the loading crew on the ramp before the aircraft blocks in.
We commit to one named coordinator per rotation, a sealed cart from kitchen to galley door, and a signed handover at the aircraft.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Arad (ARW)
01
Government and state flight catering at Arad
Our kitchen runs a protocol line built around the same 2,000-metre runway that sets every other rotation here, so a delegation movement is worked to that same margin rather than a wider one. Government flight catering at Arad covers state visits and head of state movements with the file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the ramp, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at LRAR
The 2,000-metre runway at this field takes the private airliners this segment flies, and it does so against the same written specification kept on file between movements. Royal flight catering at Arad holds household standards across repeat rotations for BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements built in on request rather than arranged at short notice.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at ARW
A wide-body airframe boarding here still clears through the same single narrow-body stand that every other movement uses, which is why the loading sheet governs the order the galleys are staged in. Charter flight catering at Arad serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against that sheet, and charter flight catering in Romania is run to the same standard wherever the aircraft is registered.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Arad
A single runway of 2,000 metres sets the working margin at this field, so a rotation that slips its slot is re-sequenced rather than absorbed into spare capacity. Carriers running Arad as an outstation get ad hoc airline catering built around that margin, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering handled off one duty roster and AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation, crew meals boxed to the same schedule.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LRAR
On the same narrow-body stand that every movement at this field shares, business aviation traffic is worked through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than a separate facility. Private jet catering at Arad reaches them on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering delivered on request.

“We needed royal flight catering at Arad (ARW/LRAR) for a protocol-sensitive flight. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. A professional service for movements where discretion matters. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Mohamed — Dispatch Support Coordinator
“For a VIP rotation through Arad (ARW/LRAR), we used the team for wide body VIP aircraft 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. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Elif — Duty Station Manager
“Our charter program used the service at Arad (ARW/LRAR) for pilgrim flight catering. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Arad
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Arad, Romania
What operations gets asked every week about Arad.
Ask operations directly →Where does the cost of airline catering at Arad come from?
A quotation is built from the loading sheet on file for the rotation, covering cabin count, specification and the loading window agreed for that stand; we do not publish a price list, and the desk comes back with a figure once those are set.
Are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered at ARW under protocol?
The named coordinator assigned to each rotation carries the protocol file for VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike, with security clearance checked against the access list before the uplift leaves the kitchen.
When is airline catering delivered airside at LRAR rather than at a gate?
When the aircraft is on stand, the sealed cart is escorted across the apron and boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height, never left at the foot of the aircraft for a crew to carry on board.
Who documents halal, kosher and special meal requirements for flights out of Arad?
Across every booking, halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes are produced on a separate line and labelled per passenger before the tray set is sealed into the cart.
Does Arad get private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself receive the same cold-chain uplift and paperwork as an airline rotation, coordinated through one ops desk rather than a separate booking route.
