Airline & VIP flight catering — United Arab Emirates
Airline, VIP and Private Jet Catering Across the United Arab Emirates
Ramp access across UAE stations means uplifts board directly onto wide-body aircraft by hi-loader, never handed off at the foot of the aircraft. Dubai (DWC) carries a 4500 m runway, the longest recorded here. Airline catering, inflight catering and aviation catering run from the same production standard at every stand.

How Aviation Catering Operates in the UAE
Traffic across the UAE splits between long-haul commercial hubs and government or business aviation fields, and the aprons reflect it. Dubai (DXB) and Dubai (DWC) each carry two runways rated to wide-body reference code, alongside Abu Dhabi (AUH) with its own two-runway wide-body field. Sharjah (SHJ), Ras Al Khaimah (RKT), Al Dhafra (DHF), Al Ain (AAN), Fujairah (FJR), Sir Bani Yas (XSB) and Dubai (NHD) complete the network, each holding wide-body reference code on a single or double runway.
An ops desk raising a request works the same way at every one of these stations: flight number, aircraft type and stand feed a load plan, and the kitchen builds against it on a cold chain held from production to galley door. Airline catering companies operating outstations here rely on that same discipline whether the movement is scheduled, ad hoc or a diversion.
FBOs at Dubai (DWC), Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH), Abu Dhabi (AZI) and Sharjah (SHJ) extend the same ground handling services and airport catering standard to business aviation, so a private jet and a scheduled airline uplift move through the same chain of custody. Ramp access and hi-loader boarding hold across the network regardless of segment.

Five Flight Segments, One Airline Catering Operation
Across UAE stations, one production line supplies scheduled airlines, government and state flights, royal households, wide-body charter operators and business aviation. Airline catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering run on the same cold chain, from Dubai to Al Ain, whichever segment is routing through the stand.
01
State Flight Catering Across the Emirates
Government and state flights across UAE stations move through cleared staff, sealed loads and a single named coordinator per movement. Protocol is held from the production kitchen through to the galley door.
Government & state flights →
02
Royal Household Catering at Emirati Stands
Royal household and VVIP movements across UAE stations carry dietary requirements leg to leg, with a kitchen brigade briefed against each aircraft. Service is built to the household standard from load to landing.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Wide-Body Charter Catering Across UAE Stands
Charter airlines, ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions across UAE stations draw a full three-cabin uplift, staged to match each galley layout. Loads scale from a single stand to a full apron movement.
Wide-body charter →
04
Ad Hoc Airline Catering at UAE Outstations
Scheduled carriers running UAE fields as outstations draw on ad hoc uplifts, diversions, technical stops and AOG response. Flight crew, cabin crew and cargo crew meal sets load against each movement.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private Jet Catering at Emirati FBOs
Business aviation moves through our dedicated private-jet branch into FBOs including Royal Jet Abu Dhabi, DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, Jet Aviation Dubai, Jetex and Gama Aviation BAC, on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.

Ordering Airline Catering: United Arab Emirates
Send flight number, ETA, pax and crew count per cabin, aircraft type and stand to the ops desk, together with any special meal codes for the movement. This is the same information an outstation coordinator or a charter broker submits for airline catering services anywhere in the network. From there the request is built against the station's stand and kitchen configuration and confirmed back before uplift. Submit a quote request to start the process for any UAE station.
UAE Airline Catering Questions
What UAE Ops Desks Ask Before Uplift
Ask operations directly →Which UAE stations take wide-body aircraft?
Every published station in the UAE network carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code, from Dubai (DWC) at 4500 m to Sir Bani Yas (XSB) at 2826 m. Runway length and stand configuration vary by station.
Can catering board directly onto the aircraft rather than at the stand?
Ramp access allows hi-loader boarding directly onto the aircraft at UAE stations equipped for it, rather than a handover at the foot of the aircraft. This applies across scheduled, charter and VIP flight catering movements.
Do you cater government and royal flights alongside commercial airline traffic?
Yes. Government flight catering and royal flight catering run through cleared staff and sealed loads on the same production line as scheduled airline uplifts, coordinated by a single named contact per movement.
Which FBOs do you supply for private jet catering in the UAE?
Recorded FBOs include Royal Jet Abu Dhabi, DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, Jet Aviation Dubai, Jetex, Jetex Dubai FBO, Falcon Elite DWC LLC, ExecuJet Middle East and Gama Aviation BAC, across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
What information do you need to quote a charter or ACMI movement?
Flight number, ETA, aircraft type, stand and pax and crew count per cabin. The same submission covers charter flight catering, wide-body charter and ad hoc airline requests.
