Aviation catering — Moscow, Russia
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Moscow (UUDD / DME)
DME (IATA) · UUDD (ICAO)
Set against a 3500 m longest runway, Moscow (UUDD) boards multi-class wide-body rotations without a stand constraint on aircraft length. Inflight catering here runs hi-loader to galley height off one ops desk, with in-flight catering staged airside and inflight catering uplifted straight from the kitchen seal to the cabin door.

On the apron — Moscow
Hi-loader aviation catering on the Moscow, Russia apron
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Moscow
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Moscow, Russia
Ramp access at Moscow is planned before the convoy ever leaves the kitchen, with the sealed cart tracked to a fixed apron slot rather than a rough estimate. A catering uplift is timed to the same loading window on every rotation, whatever the mission. The window closes at the galley door, where the load is checked against the manifest before the hi-loader is released.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Moscow sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and a catering uplift is planned against the worst of them rather than the average. Chain of custody starts at the seal and does not break until a named signature closes it out at the galley. Galley catering handover is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed, once when it is opened at the aircraft, so the temperature record and the loading record agree at both ends of the route.
One seal, one route, one signature: the convoy is the risk we manage, not the food.
Airline catering companies' production standard at DME
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at UUDD / DME
Airport catering at DME is provisioned from a flight kitchen built to serve wide-body traffic rather than a single narrow-body route. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, run to a HACCP standard that does not vary between a scheduled sector and a VVIP movement. Airport catering at Moscow is planned from that single site, so a multi-class rotation and a diplomatic delegation are worked on the same cold chain rather than two separate ones.
The team behind government flight catering at Moscow is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Security clearance is held on file, access-list status is checked before a badge is issued, and household standards are trained into the loading crew, not improvised on the day. Every uplift they close carries the same chain of custody, from the sealed cart to the signature at the galley.
Halal airline meals and special meals at UUDD
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Moscow
Menus at DME are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed spec, moving from passenger meal boxes on a scheduled sector to a VIP flight menu built around a protocol brief. Local sourcing draws on Russian dairy, grain and orchard produce where the season allows it, worked into the plan rather than named dish by dish. Inflight catering at Moscow carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, each one labelled per passenger and per cabin before it reaches the aircraft. Special meal codes travel with the tray, not as an afterthought attached at boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Moscow are plated to a written specification rather than a standing menu card, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the protocol brief for the rotation, so the presentation on the second sector matches the first.
Business cabins
Business cabins out of UUDD run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, packed in tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in their own boxes, with pilot meals kept separate on the loading sheet at Moscow.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at DME are documented per passenger before the tray is built, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Russia produced against those codes is run on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so a household or religious requirement never shares a bench with a standard tray.

Flight catering airside delivery at Moscow (DME)
Two runways and a traffic mix of scheduled, charter and government movements mean a delegation arriving on short notice is a documentation problem as much as a kitchen one, while a peak departure wave tests capacity rather than paperwork. Airline catering at UUDD is planned so both are worked from the same duty roster rather than two separate systems.
The uplift travels from our flight kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, cleared through the ramp on our own badges, then boarded by hi-loader at galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering at Moscow and in-flight catering at Moscow both run off that one route, with aviation catering at UUDD and airport catering at Moscow staged to the same loading sheet regardless of which desk raised the order.
What we commit to on every rotation here is one named coordinator, sealed carts from kitchen to galley, and a signed handover at the aircraft.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Moscow, Russia
01
Government and state flight catering at DME
A 3500 m longest runway clears the ramp for a head of state aircraft without a length restriction shaping the stand assignment. Government flight catering at DME then follows on protocol documented per passenger, security-cleared staff and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, with catering at DME logged the same way whether the movement is a state visit or a routine delegation.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Moscow
Our kitchen holds the wide-body reference code that lets a private airliner board here on the same terms as a scheduled aircraft, rather than a narrower classification. Royal flight catering at Moscow follows for BBJ, ACJ and other wide-body VIP types, held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with catering at UUDD covering halal and household dietary sets on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at UUDD
The wide-body reference code held at Moscow governs a full three-cabin uplift the same way for a charter operator as for a scheduled carrier, with no separate handling tier. Charter flight catering at UUDD and charter flight catering at DME then cover ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out for a multi-leg charter rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at DME
A 3500 m longest runway lets Moscow take a wide-body diversion without restaging the loading plan around a shorter strip, which is what ad hoc airline catering has to plan for first. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation, crew meals at UUDD and crew meals at Moscow boxed separately from the passenger load, and outstation catering in Russia and ad hoc airline catering in Russia both worked from the same kitchen.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Moscow
A private airliner using the wide-body reference code held at Moscow shares its ramp routing with the FBOs on the field, which is where business aviation is actually worked here rather than through a separate gate. Private jet catering in Russia reaches the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, delivered as FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We requested tray set catering airline at Moscow (DME/UUDD) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Good attention to the operational side of catering. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Romain — Ground Handling Coordinator
“We used the team for ad hoc catering at Moscow (DME/UUDD) during a tight turnaround. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Inflight catering FAQ for DME
Diversion catering and ramp questions at UUDD
What operations gets asked every week about Moscow.
Ask operations directly →Which special meal codes are produced for flights out of DME?
The loading crew builds halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes on a separate line, sealed before it joins the main uplift, with each tray documented per passenger and per cabin.
What does private jet catering look like at UUDD?
We deliver FBO catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, running the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift so a business jet movement is never handled as an afterthought.
Can airline catering cost be quoted in advance for a flight through Moscow?
A quotation turns on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, since no price list is published; the desk comes back with a figure once those three are set.
How is a government, royal or VVIP flight catered at Moscow airport?
Moscow airport routes VIP flight catering and government flight catering through the same protocol file: security-cleared staff, documentation per passenger, and a sealed uplift held to the standard a state or household movement requires.
