Aviation catering — Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Palma de Mallorca (LEPA / PMI)
PMI (IATA) · LEPA (ICAO)
Our kitchen runs a wide-body reference code at the ramp, so a full three-cabin uplift is boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft. That capability carries inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet movements through Palma de Mallorca (LEPA/PMI), across Spain.

At Palma de Mallorca the loading window is a measured sequence rather than a promise: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen, crosses the ramp under escort, and clears the galley door on a logged time. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than handed to a third party at the foot of the aircraft, which keeps the catering uplift on one continuous chain of custody. Every stage between the seal and the signature is timed against the same standard, whatever the mission on the stand that day.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Palma de Mallorca sit screening, an escorted crossing and the ordinary traffic of a working apron, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst case those three can produce rather than the average one. A convoy delayed by any of them is the actual risk to a departure time, not the food itself, which is why the route and the escort are fixed before the catering uplift ever leaves the kitchen. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed and again at handover to the cabin crew, and the paperwork that closes each load carries a signature at both ends.
One responsibility runs from the seal at our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for LEPA

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Palma de Mallorca
Our flight kitchen provisions Palma de Mallorca with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell run under one roof, structured to hold three-cabin volume without breaking the sequence a single rotation needs. Airport catering here answers to HACCP throughout, so the same cold chain that seals a tray set at production is the one that closes it again at handover on the stand. That single-site model is what lets airport catering in Palma de Mallorca move from hot production to a sealed cart on one clock, rather than passing the load between separate kitchens for different cabins.
The team behind government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned case by case. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household service standards a royal or state movement expects on top of the ordinary specification. That continuity is what keeps a sealed uplift accountable to one chain of custody from the kitchen door to the cabin.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Palma de Mallorca airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at PMI
Menus here are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed list, drawing on the produce of the Balearic Islands and mainland Spain for the general categories a cabin plan calls for: dairy, orchard fruit, fish and seasonal vegetables. Inflight catering in Palma de Mallorca moves from a First and VVIP specification through a multi-choice business plan to standard tray sets for the main cabin, each written against the mission length and the season rather than a single fixed cycle. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented and labelled per passenger and per cabin before the load ever leaves the kitchen. Nothing on the tray reaches the aircraft without that paperwork attached to it.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Palma de Mallorca take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single set menu. Every presentation is filed against the standing order before service, so VIP flight catering in Palma de Mallorca repeats to the same standard on the next movement as it did on the last.

Business cabins
Business cabins at LEPA take a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to each aircraft type. Crew meals at Palma de Mallorca run alongside the passenger load as tray sets and meal boxes, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately and matched to the roster in crew meals in Palma de Mallorca.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LEPA are documented per passenger before departure, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets produced to the full range of IATA special meal codes. That inflight catering at LEPA runs on a separate production line, sealed apart from the main cabin load before it ever reaches the ramp.

HACCP-compliant aircraft catering at Palma de Mallorca (PMI)
Flight catering airside delivery at Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Two runways and a wide-body reference code put Palma de Mallorca on the scheduled, charter and government mix that a resort island station carries through its peak season, and that mix turns catering into three different problems at once: a delegation is a documentation problem, a wave of charter departures is a capacity problem, and a repeat seasonal rotation is a repetition problem the specification has to survive unchanged. Airline catering and inflight catering here run off one ops desk rather than being split by segment, with in-flight catering and aviation catering following the same loading sheet regardless of the mission on the stand that day.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed, crosses the apron under escort, and is boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the whole crossing. Airport catering at LEPA is planned stand by stand rather than as a single average routine, and airline catering at LEPA holds to that same sequence whether the aircraft is on a scheduled turn or a one-off charter.
One coordinator carries each rotation from kitchen seal to signed handover, with sealed carts and a single point of contact for the whole loading window.

“We arranged football club charter catering for the group at Palma de Mallorca (PMI/LEPA) after a late schedule update. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. We would book them again for another team movement. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Mohamed — Duty Operations Manager
“We needed troop flight catering at Palma de Mallorca (PMI/LEPA) for a time-sensitive operation. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. We appreciated the flexibility. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Andres — Station Services Coordinator
“We ordered freighter crew meals for a cargo rotation through Palma de Mallorca (PMI/LEPA). They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. We would use them again for another cargo sector. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at Palma de Mallorca airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Palma de Mallorca airport
What operations gets asked every week about Palma de Mallorca.
Ask operations directly →Does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at Palma de Mallorca, and how does the load get on board?
There is a hi-loader route from our kitchen straight to galley height at Palma de Mallorca, so airside delivery replaces any handoff at the foot of the aircraft.
Which lead time applies for an order at Palma de Mallorca airport, and how late can the specification change?
The cart and the loading sheet are locked before the sealed uplift leaves the kitchen, so how far in advance an order is placed decides how much of the specification can still move; last minute airline catering is handled case by case against that same cart schedule.
What halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes does PMI produce, and how are they documented?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of SPML codes, each one documented per passenger and run on a separate production line before it joins the load.
Can LEPA cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
A written protocol file travels with every passenger on a VIP flight catering or government flight catering movement, with only cleared staff assigned to the load.
Do you publish what airline catering costs at Palma de Mallorca?
Yes, by quotation: airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and the desk comes back with a figure once those are set.
