Aviation catering — Sion, Switzerland
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Sion (LSGS / SIR)
SIR (IATA) · LSGS (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code shapes every rotation planned at Sion, so the loading sequence is built around one aircraft class rather than a mixed wide-body programme. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here move by hi-loader to galley height across the apron, with uplift staged on schedule for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures.

Aviation catering lead times and loading window at LSGS
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Sion
Ramp access at Sion is planned around a single narrow-body sequence, so the cart leaves the kitchen sealed and reaches the apron on one route rather than several. That sequence is what the loading window at Sion actually measures: the interval between the sealed cart and the galley door, not an estimate written before the rotation. Every catering uplift here follows the same route, so the figure printed below is the one worked to, not the one hoped for.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Sion sit screening, escort and the apron traffic of a single-runway field, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of that combination rather than the average of it. A narrow-body reference code keeps the ramp routing short, which is what lets a sealed galley catering handover happen inside one measured window instead of several staggered ones. Temperatures are logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, with a signature closing the chain of custody at the galley door.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: the chain does not change hands.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Sion airport departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for SIR
The flight kitchen at LSGS runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to serve a single narrow-body reference code rather than a mixed wide-body programme. HACCP procedure governs every stage from intake to sealing, and the cold chain is held from the larder to the cart. Airport catering at Sion and airport catering at LSGS both draw from that same kitchen, so the flight kitchen at SIR is the one point every rotation is provisioned through.
The team that handles government flight catering at Sion is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires. That continuity matters more on a single-runway field, where the loading sequence leaves less room to substitute an unfamiliar hand. Catering at LSGS for this kind of movement is signed off by the same coordinator who sealed the cart, not by whoever is free that day.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Sion (SIR)
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LSGS
Menus at Sion are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusted for a scheduled rotation, a charter group or a single VIP movement. Local sourcing draws on Swiss dairy, lake and river fish, and orchard fruit where the season allows it, worked into a specification rather than named as a dish. Inflight catering at SIR is planned from that specification forward: the cabin decides the format, the mission decides the volume. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sion are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for each household or delegation, so a repeat rotation is served to the same record every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LSGS take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew each receive their own set.
Protocol & dietary
Halal and kosher sets, alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line at Sion and sealed before they leave it, with each requirement documented per passenger rather than assumed from the booking class. Inflight catering here treats a religious or medical set as a standing record, carried forward unchanged from one rotation to the next.

Flight catering airside delivery at LSGS / SIR
Sion carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single runway, and a narrow-body reference code means every rotation is planned around one aircraft class rather than a mixed programme: a delegation still asks for full protocol documentation, and a charter peak still asks for the same volume to be ready inside a tighter stand turnaround.
Loading airline catering at Sion means one route from the kitchen to the apron, with the cart sealed before it leaves and boarded by hi-loader to the galley door under our own escort on the ramp. Aviation catering in Sion and inflight catering in Switzerland both run off that same route, and airport catering at Sion is planned stand by stand rather than to a fixed schedule, because the single stand governs how far ahead a rotation has to be sequenced. In-flight catering in Switzerland follows the same rule wherever the reference code is narrow-body.
What we commit to at this stand is unchanged regardless of aircraft type: one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts, and a signed handover at the galley door.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at SIR
01
Government and state flight catering at Sion
Our kitchen works a 2000 metre runway into a single fixed sequence, which is what lets a delegation movement be planned to the minute rather than around a variable stand queue. Government flight catering at Sion for state visits and official movements carries a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, with a head of state movement handled to the same written record every time.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SIR
A 2000 metre runway at Sion takes the private airliners this segment flies, from BBJ and ACJ conversions to a wide-body VIP movement staged on a single stand. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request and VVIP protocol carried forward unchanged from one rotation to the next.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Sion
A narrow-body aircraft on charter or ACMI assignment is what the reference code at Sion is built to hold, which keeps a full three-cabin uplift staged on one stand rather than split across several. Charter flight catering at Sion for wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, and charter flight catering in Sion runs to that same order whatever the mission.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Sion
A 2000 metre runway at Sion is enough to hold scheduled turboprop and narrow-body service, which is why carriers running this station as an outstation depend on ad hoc airline catering rather than a fixed weekly cycle. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the same duty roster, with AOG covered inside it, across a multi-leg rotation that never assumes the same aircraft twice.

Private jet and FBO catering at SIR
On a field built to a narrow-body reference code, business aviation shares the same single runway and stand sequence as scheduled and charter traffic. Private jet catering in Switzerland at Sion is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, worked on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We needed presidential flight catering at Sion (SIR/LSGS) for a protocol-sensitive flight. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. Reliable, discreet, and easy to work with. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Lisa — Ad Hoc Operations Manager
“For a VIP rotation through Sion (SIR/LSGS), we used the team for BBJ catering. The portions, packaging, and labeling worked well for the cabin, and the timing was spot on. A very smooth experience for the cabin team. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Alberto — Cargo Duty Officer
“Our charter program used the service at Sion (SIR/LSGS) for hajj flight catering. The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. We would use the service again for a similar charter. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Aircraft catering questions at Sion (SIR)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Sion (SIR)
What operations gets asked every week about Sion.
Ask operations directly →What special meal sets do you produce at LSGS?
We produce halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA SPML codes, with every dietary or religious requirement documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
Which lead time applies to an order placed for a Sion departure?
The loader and the cart follow one fixed route from kitchen to stand, so a standard order is placed with routine notice while a late change is worked through the same sequence up to a shorter cut-off; ask how far in advance your rotation needs to be confirmed and we will hold the later of the two, including last minute airline catering where the schedule allows it.
Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Sion Airport, and under what protocol?
A single sealed route from kitchen to galley door is what carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, run by security-cleared staff working to a fixed protocol file per movement.
How do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at SIR?
SIR shares its one stand and runway between airline and business aviation traffic, so private jet catering reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift, with FBO catering worked to the same paperwork throughout.
Do you publish a fixed airline catering cost for LSGS?
Yes, by quotation rather than a price list: cabin count, specification and the loading window all set the airline catering cost, and the desk comes back with a figure once those are confirmed.
With one runway and a narrow-body reference code, do you deliver airline catering airside at Sion?
There is a single sealed route from our kitchen to the stand at Sion, worked by hi-loader to galley height, so airline catering here is delivered by airside delivery rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.
