From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Pamplona, Spain
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Pamplona (LEPP / PNA)
PNA (IATA) · LEPP (ICAO)
A single narrow-body runway of 2,207 metres sets the rhythm of Pamplona's traffic, so inflight catering here is built around one rotation at a time rather than a wave. Every uplift moves by hi-loader to galley height on the wide-body-capable stand method we run network-wide, with in-flight catering sequenced to the loading window an ops desk can actually plan against.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Pamplona (PNA)
Every catering uplift at Pamplona starts as a sealed cart, not a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft, because ramp access here is held on our own clearance rather than shared with a general handler. From that point the cart moves on the apron under escort to the stand, where the hi-loader lifts it directly to galley height. The window is closed only once the cart is opened and the load is checked against the manifest at the galley door itself.
The convoy is the risk on a single-runway field like Pamplona, not the food: a short apron crossing still crosses live taxiway traffic, and the galley catering has to be timed against it rather than against the clock alone. We plan the route before the catering uplift leaves the kitchen door, holding the seal until the cart is on the hi-loader and the chain of custody is unbroken from tray to galley.
Temperature is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed, once when it is opened at the aircraft, with both readings kept against the same load reference. The handover is closed with a signature at the galley, not at the ramp, so responsibility for the load never passes to a third party before it is on board.
One sealed cart, one route, one signature — from our kitchen door to the galley.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Pamplona
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Pamplona, Spain
Airport catering at Pamplona runs from a production kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, rather than a single galley bench working every order at once. Airport catering of this shape means a delegation menu and a scheduled tray set can be built the same morning without one queue blocking the other, each held to HACCP standard from intake to seal. That structure is what lets flight kitchen output at PNA move by cabin and by mission rather than by a single fixed cycle.
The team that handles government flight catering at Pamplona is the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries a standing security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp and the kitchen alike, and works to a written household service standard rather than an improvised one. That continuity is what keeps chain of custody intact from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the aircraft, catering to the same protocol file every time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at PNA
VVIP catering to a written specification at LEPP / PNA
Menus at Pamplona are written to the cabin and the mission before they are written to a season, because a narrow-body multi-class fit and a full VIP charter call for different service formats from the same kitchen. Where the flight and the produce allow it, dishes draw on Navarra's orchards, dairy and river fish, kept general rather than fixed to a single supplier. From passenger meal boxes to VVIP tray sets, inflight catering in Spain is planned around what the cabin can actually serve, not around a fixed printed card. Every set closes with allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements documented per passenger and per cabin, filed against the standing order before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LEPP are 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. VIP flight catering here is checked against that specification before the tray leaves the kitchen, not adjusted at the stand.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Pamplona take multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed in oven-ready formats rather than plated to order. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets, boxed against the roster at PNA before the cart is sealed.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Pamplona are documented per passenger before the order reaches the kitchen, covering halal, kosher, religious and medical sets under the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering of this kind is produced on a separate line at LEPP and sealed before it joins the rest of the load.

Flight catering airside delivery at Pamplona airport
Pamplona works a narrow-body traffic mix off a single runway, which keeps rotations sequential rather than banked, and a delegation or a charter arrival is planned as its own slot rather than folded into a wave. That sequencing turns each movement into a documentation task as much as a loading one: the manifest, the seal record and the protocol file travel with the cart from the first minute.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our own kitchen, staged on the apron and escorted to the stand under our own clearance rather than a shared general handler's. Airside delivery is timed against the loading window agreed for that rotation, not against a fixed slot common to every flight that day. In-flight catering in Pamplona and aviation catering in Pamplona both run off the same ops desk, with airline catering in Pamplona and airport catering at PNA planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal.
What we commit to at every rotation here is one coordinator, one sealed cart and one signed handover, regardless of the size of the movement.

“For our departure from Pamplona (PNA/LEPP), we specifically needed tray set catering airline. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. Very cabin-friendly catering. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Aviation catering FAQ for Pamplona (PNA)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at PNA
What operations gets asked every week about Pamplona.
Ask operations directly →Can LEPP produce halal, kosher and other special meal codes with documentation?
Halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML special meal codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before joining the load, documented per passenger against the order. Special meals travel with their own paperwork from kitchen to galley door.
Under narrow-body ramp constraints, do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Pamplona?
There is a dedicated protocol line at our kitchen for VIP flight catering, VVIP work and government flight catering, run under the same clearance and access-list procedure on every rotation. Each uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen and handed over against a signed protocol file.
How far in advance does Pamplona Airport need a catering order confirmed?
Pamplona works on a standard lead time for a first order, with the specification able to change closer to departure once the account is established. How far in advance depends on the cabin count and the complexity of the specification, and the desk confirms both at booking.
PNA — how much does airline catering cost for a rotation through Pamplona?
The loading sheet and the sealed cart are what a quotation is built against, not a published price list. Airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a quotation once those are set.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at LEPP?
Yes, by routing every order through the same sealed cart and cold chain used for an airline uplift, delivered to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field. FBO catering here carries the same paperwork as a scheduled rotation, cleared through the same ramp access.
