Aviation catering — Sečovlje, Slovenia
Sečovlje (LJPZ / POW): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
POW (IATA) · LJPZ (ICAO)
At a single narrow-body stand at Sečovlje, one runway of 1201 metres sets the loading window for every rotation we work. In-flight catering and inflight catering here move by hi-loader to galley height, uplift staged and sealed before the wide-body pattern of a longer field would ever apply.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at POW
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, LJPZ / POW
Loading a narrow-body rotation off a single 1201 metre runway means the window is fixed by ramp access, not by kitchen output. Every catering uplift at Sečovlje moves through the same sequence: sealed at our kitchen, escorted across the apron, boarded through the galley door at hi-loader height. That sequence is the same whether the movement is a scheduled sector or an ad hoc government call.

Between our kitchen and the stand at LJPZ sit screening, an escort, and whatever else is moving on the apron that hour; we plan every catering uplift against the worst of that traffic rather than the average of it. The chain of custody starts the moment the cart is sealed at the kitchen door and does not break until the galley crew signs for it. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, so a single narrow-body stand carries the same galley catering discipline a wide-body network runs across four.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Sečovlje
Airport catering at Sečovlje is provisioned from one kitchen running hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, built to HACCP standard from intake through sealing. Because the narrow-body reference code limits this field to a single stand, airport catering here is planned rotation by rotation rather than across parallel movements, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from the larder to the cart. That same discipline governs a scheduled sector and a diplomatic call alike, at POW.
The team assigned to government flight catering at this stand is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained on the household paperwork that travels sealed with the uplift. With one stand to work, the same coordinator carries the load from kitchen to galley door on every movement, rather than handing it between shifts. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is what a single-stand field can actually guarantee.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Sečovlje airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at POW
Chef-designed menus here are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a generic tray, and they draw where possible on produce from Slovenia's own dairies, orchards and coastal waters. A scheduled sector and a VVIP call are planned from the same kitchen but built to different specifications, because a single-stand field cannot afford to run two standards. Inflight catering at Sečovlje is documented against allergen, halal, kosher and medical codes at the point the tray is sealed, labelled per passenger and per cabin. That labelling is what a galley crew checks on arrival, and it is what closes the loop back to the kitchen if anything needs tracing.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins routed through Sečovlje are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed by a standard tray. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same record every time, at POW.

Business cabins
Business cabins worked off this single stand get multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boarded as tray sets rather than loose trolleys. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster at Sečovlje, so the flight deck set never mixes with the cabin service.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LJPZ are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full IATA special meal code range. Household and medical requests are produced on a separate line from the main cabin service, so an inflight catering order with religious or medical restrictions never shares equipment with a standard tray.

HACCP and sealed transfer for aircraft catering at LJPZ
Airside airport catering at Sečovlje, Slovenia
A single narrow-body stand and one runway of 1201 metres mean Sečovlje handles scheduled, charter and government movements one at a time rather than in parallel waves, so a documentation-heavy delegation and a routine rotation never compete for the same ramp slot. That constraint makes catering here a sequencing problem before it is a volume problem: the cart has to be sealed, escorted and boarded inside the same window the stand is held for.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, staged from our kitchen and escorted across the apron under our own clearance rather than dropped at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at this field run off one ops desk, with airport catering at LJPZ planned stand by stand and ramp access held on our own badges.
On every movement we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, the same discipline whether the aircraft is on a scheduled sector or a government call.

Scheduled airline
“We had a last-minute schedule change into Sečovlje (POW/LJPZ) and needed urgent airline catering. They reacted quickly to revised timings and passenger numbers, and the handover was straightforward. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Kareem — Ground Services Manager
“For an operation away from our normal base, we arranged outstation catering at Sečovlje (POW/LJPZ). The team confirmed everything clearly, handled the local coordination, and delivered the order ready for loading. A solid solution for outstation operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Anika — Flight Support Executive
“We requested an airline catering quote for Sečovlje (POW/LJPZ) and appreciated how clear the pricing was. The quote was detailed enough for operations and accounting, but still quick to review. We appreciated the transparency. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Ask operations directly →When does airline catering cost get confirmed for Sečovlje?
When the cabin count, the specification and the loading window are set, our desk returns a quotation rather than a fixed price list; airline catering cost here is quoted per rotation, not published.
Where is VIP flight catering and government flight catering handled at Sečovlje Airport?
The protocol file documented per passenger is what proves it: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under the same security clearance and sealed-cart record kept for every movement.
Does POW produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes?
Every tray tied to a special meal request is produced on a separate line before sealing; halal, kosher and the full SPML range are documented per passenger at POW.
Whose lead time governs an order placed at LJPZ?
For a standard rotation the specification can still change close to departure, and how far in advance the initial order is placed decides how much of that flexibility remains for last minute airline catering.
Which method delivers airline catering airside at Sečovlje?
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart from our kitchen to galley height, so airside delivery reaches the aircraft directly rather than being left at the foot of the stairs.
Is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Sečovlje Airport?
The coordinator who seals the cart at our kitchen also escorts it to whichever FBO or the GA terminal the movement uses, so FBO catering runs on the same record as an airline rotation.
