Aviation catering — Valencia, Spain
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Valencia (LEVC / VLC)
VLC (IATA) · LEVC (ICAO)
Valencia holds a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which sets the stand geometry, the hi-loader reach and the galley height our crews work to on every rotation. From that fixed point AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and uplift for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights, boarding wide-body cabins airside rather than handing trays across at the foot of the stairs.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at LEVC
The catering uplift at Valencia runs on one sequence: sealed at the kitchen, moved under ramp access, boarded through the galley door. No stage of that sequence is estimated after the fact, because the apron itself sets the pace the convoy has to match. What the timeline below shows is that sequence held to the same order on every rotation, from a single wide-body stand to the next.
Between the kitchen door and the stand at Valencia, the convoy crosses screening, an escort point and apron traffic before the galley catering ever reaches the aircraft. Chain of custody is held across every one of those crossings, not just at the ends of the route, because a gap anywhere in that sequence is where a catering uplift actually fails. Each cart is sealed at departure from the kitchen, logged again at the galley, and closed out with a signature that ties the load to the flight it boarded.
One sealed route, one signature, from the kitchen seal to the aircraft.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Valencia, Spain
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Valencia airport
Airport catering at Valencia runs from a production kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line held under one roof, all governed by the same HACCP standard from intake to seal. That single-roof layout is what lets airport catering here move a delegation's dietary file and a routine tray-set order through the same production day without either one slowing the other. Flight kitchen output for LEVC is planned against the rotation, not against a fixed shift, so volume tracks the traffic rather than the clock.
The team behind government flight catering at Valencia is a named, security-cleared crew rather than a rotating pool, and the same names appear on the access list for every household or state movement. Security clearance is filed once and checked before each uplift, alongside training on royal household service standards and the paperwork that has to travel sealed with the load. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking when they ask who handles a sensitive rotation.
Halal airline meals and special meals at LEVC / VLC
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Valencia (VLC)
Menus at Valencia are built to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season: a First and VVIP tray set follows a different specification from a Business or main-cabin one even on the same rotation. Where local sourcing applies, produce drawn from the surrounding region — dairy, orchard fruit, fresh fish — is worked into the standing specification rather than announced dish by dish. Inflight catering here is written, checked and re-issued against that specification each time a cabin mix changes, never improvised on the day. Every dietary, allergen, halal, kosher or medical requirement is recorded per passenger and per cabin before the tray set is built, and it stays attached to that passenger through to boarding.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Valencia are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation reads the same tray by tray as the one before it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LEVC take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, keeping tray sets and passenger meal boxes on their own line through to boarding.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Valencia are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes rather than a fixed list. Every one of those sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it, so inflight catering for a mixed cabin never crosses paths with a standard tray.

Flight catering airside delivery at VLC
Valencia's single wide-body-rated stand carries scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic across the same reference code, which turns every delegation or peak-wave movement into a documentation and sequencing question rather than a capacity one. Airport catering at Valencia is planned stand by stand because there is no second stand to fall back on if a rotation slips.
The uplift moves from our flight kitchen to the ramp under ramp access held on our own badges, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed up at the foot of the stairs. Aviation catering and in-flight catering in Valencia run off that same route for every segment, with ground handling on the apron coordinated to the loading window rather than worked around it.
One coordinator carries each rotation from seal to signature, and airline catering in Spain is committed to that single point of contact on every load leaving this kitchen.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Valencia airport
01
Government and state flight catering at LEVC
A 2700 m runway at Valencia takes the aircraft types state and diplomatic movements actually fly, which is what puts government flight catering within reach of a single wide-body stand here rather than a secondary field. Delegations and state visits are handled with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen at VLC.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at VLC
A private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP configuration — is what the 2700 m runway at Valencia is built to take, which is why royal flight catering runs here to the same household specification on every repeat rotation. That specification stays on file between movements, covering halal and other household dietary requirements on request, so VVIP catering never starts from a blank page.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Valencia
On the wide-body-rated stand at Valencia, charter flight catering covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet. Charter flight catering here is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, so a multi-leg charter rotation boards in the same sequence on every leg.

Airline and ad hoc catering at LEVC
Our kitchen provisions the single wide-body-rated stand at Valencia under the same reference code every airline operating this station as an outstation relies on. We run ad hoc airline catering off that stand for carriers without a base contract here, cover diversion catering and technical stop catering on short notice, and keep outstation catering and crew meals moving across a multi-leg rotation without a change of tray standard.

Private jet and FBO catering at VLC
Sequencing a wide-body-rated stand alongside business aviation movements means the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field are worked into the same loading plan rather than a separate one. Private jet catering at Valencia reaches those FBOs and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled by our dedicated private-jet branch.

Diversion catering and ramp questions at LEVC / VLC
What operations gets asked every week about Valencia.
Ask operations directly →Where are halal, kosher and special meal codes produced for flights out of Valencia?
Every halal, kosher or SPML-coded meal is recorded per passenger against the standing specification and produced on a separate line before it is sealed, so the documentation travels with the tray rather than being reconstructed afterwards.
Which protocol governs VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Valencia Airport?
The hi-loader route to galley height is used on every VIP or government rotation, with the load sealed at the kitchen and handled only by security-cleared, access-listed staff under the same protocol file each time.
What does airline catering cost at VLC?
We price against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than a fixed list, so the desk comes back with a quotation once those three are confirmed.
Is there a lead time for changing an order at LEVC?
Our coordinator holds each booking open for late specification changes up to the point the cart is sealed, and confirms the cut-off for that particular rotation when the order is placed.
How is airline catering delivered airside at Valencia?
Valencia is worked from our flight kitchen to the ramp under ramp access held on our own badges, with the load boarded by hi-loader rather than handed up at the foot of the aircraft.
When can private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at Valencia Airport?
Once a movement is confirmed, FBO catering is scheduled through our private-jet branch and delivered to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
