Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Zgornji Brnik (LJLJ / LJU)
LJU (IATA) · LJLJ (ICAO)
A 3300 m runway at Zgornji Brnik holds wide-body movements on a single strip, and that reference code sets the scale of every uplift we plan around it, from scheduled sectors to a government or royal rotation. Inflight catering here runs through hi-loader boarding to galley height, with in-flight catering staged airside and inflight catering documented from seal to signature.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Zgornji Brnik (LJU)
The wide-body reference code held at Zgornji Brnik sets what one sealed cart carries and in what order the galleys are laid out before the hi-loader clears the apron. Every catering uplift here keeps ramp access on our own badges rather than a stand-side handover, so the convoy from the kitchen and the load onto the aircraft sit under one responsibility. Nothing about the sequence changes with the mission: the same order runs for a scheduled sector, a charter rotation or a government movement.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Zgornji Brnik sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the catering uplift is planned against the worst of them rather than the average day. The chain of custody runs on one named coordinator from the moment the cart is sealed to the moment the galley door is signed for, with no handover in between that is not logged. Temperatures are read at sealing and read again at the aircraft, and galley catering only closes the load once both readings and the signature are on file together.
One sealed cart, one coordinator, one signature from kitchen to galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Zgornji Brnik
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Zgornji Brnik, Slovenia
Airport catering at LJLJ runs from a facility built to keep hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof rather than split across sites. That single-roof layout is what lets airport catering at LJU move a full three-cabin uplift out on one schedule instead of staggering it across several kitchens. The flight kitchen serving Zgornji Brnik runs to a written HACCP standard across every line, whichever mission the cart is sealed for.
The team that handles government flight catering at Zgornji Brnik is the same named crew on every rotation, carried on the access list with security clearance on file rather than rotated in for the occasion. They work to royal household standards on the paperwork as much as on the tray, and every sealed uplift they close travels with a documented chain of custody from the kitchen to the aircraft. No outside crew is brought in for a one-off movement.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LJU
VVIP catering to a written specification at LJLJ / LJU
From passenger meal boxes to VVIP menus, inflight catering out of Zgornji Brnik is written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed carte. Slovenia's dairy, orchard fruit and freshwater fish sit on the seasonal frame the kitchen draws from, adjusted sector by sector rather than served the same way year-round. Every menu is built against a VIP flight menu brief or a charter flight menu brief depending on who is boarding, with the tray specification held constant even as the dishes on it change. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is ever sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Zgornji Brnik take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set course. Every presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served the same way the second time as the first.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LJLJ run multi-choice hot service to a cabin specification, with tray sets sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand that day. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, in Zgornji Brnik as on every rotation we load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary work at LJU covers household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, with the full set of IATA special meal codes produced on a separate line. Halal and kosher sets are prepared to that same standard, and inflight catering on this line never mixes with the general cabin run.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Zgornji Brnik airport
Zgornji Brnik carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body-rated runway, and that mix turns every delegation into a documentation task and every peak wave into a capacity task worked against the same stand count. Aviation catering in Zgornji Brnik is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, because the reference code held here puts more than one wide-body rotation through the same ground footprint on a busy day.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the ramp on a sealed cart, boarded by hi-loader rather than dropped at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the apron for the whole load. Airline catering at Zgornji Brnik and in-flight catering in Zgornji Brnik both run off one ops desk, so a diversion or a late change to a rotation is worked without a second point of contact. Airport catering in Zgornji Brnik keeps ramp access on our own badges rather than handing the last metres to a third party.
What we commit to at this stand is one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, whatever the mission on the loading sheet.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at LJLJ / LJU

Government and state flight catering at LJU
Across the apron at Zgornji Brnik, the wide-body reference code held there governs how a head of state aircraft is parked and worked alongside scheduled traffic on the same stand footprint. Government flight catering for state visits and official delegations is protocol-documented per passenger, closed by security-cleared staff, and sealed before the cart leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Zgornji Brnik
Holding a household specification steady across repeat movements is the constraint the wide-body reference code at Zgornji Brnik is built to absorb, since the same stand serves both the household aircraft and the scheduled traffic around it. Royal flight catering here covers private airliners — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP — with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request against a file kept between rotations.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LJLJ
3300 metres of runway at Zgornji Brnik, and that length is what puts ACMI and wet-lease wide-bodies on the same stand as scheduled traffic rather than a secondary apron. Charter flight catering here covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet; charter flight catering in Slovenia is staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LJU
A wide-body reference code held at Zgornji Brnik lets a full-size aircraft take the same stand a scheduled widebody would, which is what makes ad hoc airline catering possible here without a second stand booking. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty roster, and AOG cover extends across a multi-leg rotation without a new order each time the tail number changes.

Private jet and FBO catering at Zgornji Brnik
Our kitchen works the same 3300 m ramp that takes the wide-body traffic through Zgornji Brnik, and it delivers private jet catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal from that one production line. Business aviation catering and business jet catering run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering closed by the same signed handover.
