Aviation catering — Aleppo, Syria
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Aleppo (OSAP / ALP)
ALP (IATA) · OSAP (ICAO)
A single wide-body reference code governs the stand at Aleppo (OSAP), which is why a wide-body airframe can be boarded here on the strength of that classification alone. Inflight catering moves by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than to the foot of the aircraft, and in-flight catering for multi-class rotations is uplifted on the same ramp access, airside, without a kerbside handoff anywhere in the sequence.

The wide-body reference code at Aleppo sets how the loading sequence is built, since the same classification governs the stand and the hi-loader reach to the galley door. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than negotiated flight by flight, which keeps the apron crossing to a fixed, repeatable path. Every catering uplift here follows that same route, sealed at the kitchen and opened only once, at the galley.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Aleppo sit screening, an escort requirement and apron traffic that the single runway concentrates onto one routing. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it, so the schedule holds even when the apron is busiest. Galley catering is sealed at dispatch, logged again at handover, and the chain of custody closes only when the crew signs for it at the galley door.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley: nothing opens in between.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Aleppo, Syria
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Aleppo airport
The flight kitchen provisioning Aleppo runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed a single wide-body stand rather than a scattered set of gates. Airport catering here is organised around that one reference code, so the kitchen sequences its output to match one loading window rather than several competing ones. Every tray leaving the building is produced to HACCP standard and held on the cold chain until the hi-loader takes it, which is what lets airport catering at Aleppo move as one uplift instead of several partial ones.
The team assigned to government flight catering and household work at OSAP is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from general production. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the stand, and is trained to the household service standards that travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what lets catering at OSAP move from kitchen to galley door without a new briefing each time the aircraft changes.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at OSAP / ALP
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Aleppo (ALP)
Menus for Aleppo are designed by cabin and by mission rather than issued from one fixed list, so a scheduled sector, a charter and a state movement each leave the kitchen on a different specification. Where the season and the region allow it, dairy, orchard fruit and other Syrian produce are worked into the standing menu rather than a fixed import list, and inflight catering here is written around what the local supply actually offers that week. Every set is documented per passenger before it is sealed: allergen declarations, halal and kosher requirements, and any medical restriction travel with the tray, not as an afterthought attached later. That documentation is what lets a multi-class rotation, a royal household movement and a scheduled charter share one kitchen without ever sharing a specification.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Aleppo are plated to a written specification rather than to a standing menu card, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request and filed against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is checked against that same document at sealing and again at handover, so the presentation reaching the galley matches what was agreed before dispatch.
Business cabins
Business cabins boarded at OSAP run a multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted on the aircraft, oven-ready and packed in tray sets sized to that cabin. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in their own boxes, and pilot meals are packed separately again, each set matched to the roster rather than to the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at ALP are documented per passenger before anything is produced, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Each set is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, so inflight catering for a mixed cabin never crosses a religious or medical requirement with a standard tray.

Flight catering airside delivery at ALP
Aleppo runs on a single wide-body reference code, which means every movement through this station is planned against one stand rather than a choice of gates; a delegation here is a documentation exercise, a peak wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition exercise, and airport catering in Aleppo is built to whichever of those three the schedule actually presents that day.
The uplift itself travels a fixed route from our flight kitchen to that stand, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed off at ground level, with our own crew holding the ramp crossing from seal to signature. Inflight catering and in-flight catering in Syria both run off that same fixed path rather than an improvised one chosen per flight, and aviation catering at OSAP is planned around the single runway's traffic rather than around a network of parallel taxiways.
On every rotation through Aleppo, one coordinator carries the load from kitchen to galley door, sealed carts travel the apron under escort, and a signed handover closes the record before the aircraft is released, whatever the mission behind the tail number.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Aleppo airport
01
Government and state flight catering at OSAP
A wide-body reference code forces every state movement through Aleppo onto the same single stand, so sequencing the protocol file has to happen before the aircraft is even on the ramp. Government flight catering here documents that file per passenger, uses only security-cleared staff, and has the uplift sealed at the kitchen before a head of state aircraft ever reaches catering at ALP.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at ALP
One wide-body reference code, and it is that classification which lets a private airliner such as a BBJ or an ACJ hold the same stand across repeat visits rather than a different one each time. Royal flight catering at Aleppo is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other royal household requirements produced on request under the same VVIP protocol.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Aleppo
We load the wide-body reference code held at Aleppo against a single loading sheet, whatever the operator behind the tail number that day. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions alike, with charter flight catering staged in the order the three cabins are laid out and counted against that same sheet before departure.

Airline and ad hoc catering at OSAP
At Aleppo, the 2,910-metre runway is what admits the wide-body movements this station is built to turn, and ad hoc airline catering follows directly from that capability rather than from a scheduled contract alone. Carriers running Aleppo as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed separately across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at ALP
The 2,910-metre runway at Aleppo also carries the business aviation movements that use the GA terminal rather than the main wide-body stand. Private jet catering at Aleppo reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same sealed paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run off the one ops desk.

“I asked for HACCP at Aleppo (ALP/OSAP) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Ava — Station Services Coordinator
“Our operation through Aleppo (ALP/OSAP) included a catering uplift request at short notice. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. Good support for a changing flight schedule. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Jack — VIP Charter Manager
“We used the team for FBO catering at Aleppo (ALP/OSAP) on a VIP trip. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. I would definitely order from them again. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at OSAP / ALP
Diversion catering and ramp questions at OSAP / ALP
What operations gets asked every week about Aleppo.
Ask operations directly →Given the ramp constraints at Aleppo, does OSAP take airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
There is a fixed hi-loader route from our flight kitchen to the wide-body stand, so airside delivery is boarded directly to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
Do you publish a fixed rate for how much airline catering costs at Aleppo?
Yes, but only after a quotation, since airline catering cost here depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window booked for that rotation.
How does Aleppo Airport handle private jet catering for aircraft parked away from the main stand?
Aleppo Airport is served on the same route for business aviation as for airline traffic, so private jet catering and FBO catering reach the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field under the same sealed paperwork.
Which lead time does ALP need for a standard order, and how far in advance can a specification still change?
The loader and the sealed cart are booked to a fixed schedule, so lead time runs from initial order to final change, and how far in advance that change can land depends on how close the cart already is to dispatch; last minute airline catering is handled case by case rather than refused outright.
What special meal codes does OSAP produce, and how are they documented?
We produce halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes on a separate line, each one documented per passenger before it is sealed into the uplift.
Can Aleppo support VIP, VVIP and government flights under full protocol?
One wide-body stand carries all of it, so VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under the same security-cleared protocol, whatever the mission.
