Airline and VIP Flight Catering Across Lebanon
Airline catering in Lebanon runs on ramp access and hi-loader boarding, loading trays directly through the aircraft door rather than handing off at the foot of the stand. Beirut's wide-body reference code and 3,800 m runway anchor inflight catering for scheduled, charter and government movements across the country's aviation catering network.

How Aviation Catering Is Operated in Lebanon
Lebanon's airline catering runs through two published stations: Tripoli, with a single 3,000 m runway and a wide-body aerodrome reference code, and Beirut, the country's main gateway, with three runways, a 3,800 m longest runway and the same wide-body reference code. Both fields are built to receive wide-body aircraft on stand, which is where hi-loader boarding replaces kerbside handoff. Beirut carries the country's FBO capacity, with Sky Lounge, Cedar Jet Center-MEAG and EAS - Executive Aircraft Services handling general aviation traffic alongside scheduled and charter movements. An ops desk routing a request into Lebanon works from flight number, stand and aircraft type first, then matches it to the station holding the ground handling services and cold chain needed for the leg. Airline catering companies operating here build the load once and stage it to the cabin plan, whether the aircraft is a scheduled outstation turn through Beirut or a wide-body movement using Tripoli's single runway. Uplift is assembled to galley sequence, sealed, and moved to the aircraft door under the same chain of custody regardless of which field it departs from.

Ordering Airline Catering: Lebanon
To request airline catering services in Lebanon, send the flight number, ETA, passenger and crew count per cabin, aircraft type and stand to the ops desk, together with any special meal codes required for the leg. This applies equally to a scheduled turn through Beirut, a wide-body movement via Tripoli, or a private jet uplift routed through one of Beirut's FBOs. Government, royal and charter requests follow the same submission with their own coordinator noted. Once the load plan is confirmed against the aircraft's cabin configuration, the quote request is issued and uplift is staged to the aircraft door.
