Aviation catering — Girona, Spain
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Girona (LEGE / GRO)
GRO (IATA) · LEGE (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the loading plan here, so wide-body volume is worked around single-aisle turnarounds rather than assumed as given. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding from the ramp at Girona, with uplift carried to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Inflight catering order window at LEGE / GRO
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Girona, Spain
Ramp access at Girona is what decides the loading plan, because the apron here is worked to a narrow-body reference code rather than to wide-body scale. Every catering uplift is timed from the seal at our kitchen to the signature at the galley door, and the route across the apron is fixed before the cart leaves the kitchen floor. That fixed route is what lets a single-aisle turnaround hold its slot without the uplift becoming the delay.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Girona sit airside screening, an escorted crossing of the apron and the queue behind other ground traffic working the same narrow-body stand. We plan the galley catering run against the worst of those three, not the best of them, so the window quoted to an ops desk already assumes the delay rather than promising against it. A chain of custody is kept on every catering uplift that leaves the kitchen: a temperature log opened at sealing, a second reading taken at the galley door, and a signature that closes the load against the loading sheet.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature at the galley door.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving GRO
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for LEGE / GRO
The flight kitchen behind airport catering at Girona runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed a narrow-body reference code rather than a wide-body peak wave. HACCP governs the production floor from intake to sealed cart, and the cold chain is held from the cold larder to the loading dock without a break in custody. Airport catering in Girona is therefore worked to the same standard whether the order is a single rotation or a repeat schedule.
The team that handles government flight catering at GRO is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. That continuity matters more than headcount on a narrow-body reference code, where one coordinator carries the load from seal to signature. Nothing on this line is improvised twice.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at LEGE
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Girona
Menus at Girona are written to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season, because a narrow-body reference code sets a tighter galley than a wide-body one and the tray set has to fit it. Inflight catering at GRO draws on the produce of Catalonia where the route allows it — orchard fruit, dairy, fish from the coast — without naming a single dish or a single source. Every special set is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements travel with the tray, not alongside it on a separate sheet. The specification changes week to week; the standard it is checked against does not.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Girona are plated to a written specification rather than to memory, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against that same file. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order between rotations, so the presentation does not depend on who is on shift.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LEGE take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, in tray sets that match the same cold chain as the cabin service.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Girona are documented per passenger before the tray is built: household, religious and medical needs, halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering on this line is produced on a separate run and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so it never crosses the main production floor.

Airside airport catering at Girona (GRO)
Girona carries scheduled and charter traffic against a narrow-body reference code, so a delegation movement is worked as a documentation problem more than a capacity one, and a repeat rotation is worked as a repetition problem: the same specification, checked again rather than rewritten. Airline catering at GRO and airport catering in Spain both run off that same narrow-body plan, which keeps a peak wave from ever outrunning the single stand it is loaded through.
The route from our kitchen to the stand is fixed before the cart leaves the floor, and uplift crosses the apron by hi-loader to galley height rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering at Girona and aviation catering in Spain are worked to that same crossing, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than requested fresh on the day. In-flight catering in Spain follows the identical route regardless of which carrier is on the stand.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to galley door, and a signed handover at the aircraft.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at LEGE / GRO
01
Government and state flight catering at GRO
A 2400 m runway is enough to hold a state movement on one stand without competing for space on a wider apron, and our crews use that to keep the whole delegation file on one narrow-body turnaround. Government flight catering at Girona for state visits and official delegations runs on protocol documented per passenger, security-cleared staff, and a head of state aircraft sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Girona
A 2400 m runway sets the ceiling this field works to, and it is enough to take a private airliner on a single narrow-body stand without reworking the loading plan each time. Royal flight catering at LEGE is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft, with halal and household requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LEGE
A wet-lease or ACMI aircraft working a group movement is boarded here against the same narrow-body reference code as any scheduled flight, which is what lets charter flight catering at Girona hold a full three-cabin uplift on one stand. Charter flight catering in Girona is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, whatever the season or the mission type.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at GRO
A 2400 m runway holds this station to narrow-body traffic, so ad hoc airline catering at GRO is planned around single-aisle turnarounds rather than wide-body peaks. Carriers running Girona as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with crew meals in Girona boxed to the same rotation across a multi-leg schedule, and ad hoc catering at GRO held ready for AOG.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Girona
Against a narrow-body reference code, the GA apron at Girona sits close enough to the ramp that private jet catering at Girona runs on the same route as an airline uplift rather than a separate one. Business aviation traffic here is handled through our dedicated private-jet branch, delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork.

“Our ops team used the service at Girona (GRO/LEGE) as an airline catering broker. One contact handled the order from confirmation through delivery, which saved our dispatch team a lot of follow-up. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Andrei — Diplomatic Flight Manager
“Our team needed private jet catering in Girona for a short-notice flight at GRO/LEGE. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. We had a smooth experience from order to delivery. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Yara — Trip Operations Manager
“For our flight from Girona (GRO/LEGE), the cabin order included multiple SPML. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. That attention to detail makes a big difference onboard. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at LEGE
Diversion catering and ramp questions at LEGE
What operations gets asked every week about Girona.
Ask operations directly →Which factors set the airline catering cost at LEGE?
Every quotation from the loader and the cart back to the kitchen depends on cabin count, specification and the length of the loading window, so we do not publish a price list; the desk returns a figure once those three are known.
Does Girona need extra lead time for a last minute airline catering order?
Each specification can change close to departure on a narrow-body rotation, though the earlier a cabin count and a loading window are confirmed, the tighter that window can be held; ask the desk how far in advance your rotation needs to be locked.
What does airside delivery look like at Girona Airport?
We load directly on board rather than at the foot of the aircraft, carrying airline catering across the apron by hi-loader to galley height on every rotation this field takes.
Where does private jet catering reach on the GRO field?
A signed handover accompanies every load, and private jet catering at GRO is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering run on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
