Aviation catering — Sisimiut, Greenland
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Sisimiut (BGSS / JHS)
JHS (IATA) · BGSS (ICAO)
Sisimiut runs a single narrow-body reference code, which fixes the ramp our teams work: no wide-body hardstand, so every hi-loader run to the galley door is planned on a compact apron footprint. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet uplift, with airside boarding held to the same standard as our wide-body stations.

Aviation catering with ramp access at BGSS / JHS
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at Sisimiut
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Sisimiut (JHS)
Ramp access, not the kitchen, sets the pace of a loading window at Sisimiut: the single runway and its narrow-body reference code mean every sealed cart is sequenced onto the apron ahead of arrival rather than staged and held. A catering uplift here moves in one pass from the cold room to the hi-loader, with no intermediate hold on the tarmac. That sequencing is what keeps the window short and repeatable at BGSS.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Sisimiut, screening and apron traffic are the variables we plan against, not the food itself; chain of custody runs from the seal at dispatch to the signature at the galley door. A catering uplift is logged at both ends, temperature and time, before the cart is ever moved onto the ramp. That written record is what closes out the loading window and what protocol officers ask to see first when a government or royal household movement is on the ground. The galley catering load itself is never released without both entries signed.
One coordinator owns the seal at the kitchen and the signature at the aircraft.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Sisimiut
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Sisimiut, Greenland
The flight kitchen that provisions BGSS runs hot production, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding the narrow-body rotations that move through Sisimiut. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, and the cold chain is held unbroken from the larder to the galley door. Airport catering at this station is built around that single line, and airport catering here answers to the same written standard as our wide-body kitchens elsewhere.
The team that handles government flight catering at Sisimiut is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to household service standards for the royal and VVIP work that reaches this station. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks before signing off a movement. Catering at JHS is never handed to a rotating pool of staff for state or household uplift.
VIP flight catering menus for JHS departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at BGSS / JHS
Menus at Sisimiut are written to the cabin fitted and the mission flown, not to a fixed catalogue: a scheduled narrow-body rotation, a government movement and a private jet uplift each draw from a different specification. Where local sourcing is possible we draw on Greenland's own produce, worked into the standing menu rather than named as a feature. Inflight catering here spans First, Business and main cabin frames, each built to its own tray set and plating standard. Every dietary and allergen requirement is documented per passenger and labelled per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sisimiut are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service on request and the presentation filed against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is produced on a separate line from the main-cabin run, sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
Business cabins
Business cabins at BGSS run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Sisimiut, with halal and kosher sets produced against the full range of IATA special meal codes. That protocol and dietary line is kept apart from the main run and sealed before dispatch, which is how inflight catering here answers a household or medical request without delay at the stand.

Flight catering airside delivery at Sisimiut airport
Sisimiut runs on a single narrow-body reference code and one runway, which sets a traffic profile of scheduled, charter and occasional government movements rather than a wide-body wave. That mix is a repetition problem more than a capacity one: the same rotation returns on a known cycle, and our tray sets and cart counts are built against that pattern rather than reset for every flight.
Uplift reaches the aircraft here by airside delivery from our kitchen directly to the stand, sealed cart to hi-loader, with our own crew on the ramp for every load. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Sisimiut run off one ops desk, and airport catering at Sisimiut is planned stand by stand rather than handed to a general schedule. Airline catering in Greenland moves through very few outstations of this kind, which is why the sequence here is fixed rather than improvised.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, the same commitment as on any larger field we work.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at BGSS / JHS
01
Government and state flight catering at Sisimiut
Our kitchen at Sisimiut works to a 799 m runway that admits narrow-body movements only, and government flight catering is planned against that constraint rather than around it. Delegations and official movements travel with a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and provision for a head of state aircraft handled to the same sealed standard as any other uplift.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at BGSS
The 799 m runway at Sisimiut carries the traffic this station is built for, and royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements. Private airliners on narrow-body configuration, halal and other household requirements produced on request, catering at BGSS repeated to the same standard on every return rotation.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at JHS
Narrow-body aircraft move through Sisimiut on the station's own reference code, which is what lets charter, group and special-mission flying board here at all. Charter flight catering at JHS covers ACMI and wet-lease operators and group movements, a full multi-class uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering in Greenland routes through very few fields built to this pattern.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Sisimiut
The 799 m runway at Sisimiut sets a narrow-body-only ramp, so ad hoc airline catering here is built around single-aisle rotations rather than a wide-body wave. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern that returns on a known cycle.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at BGSS
On the same narrow-body reference code that governs every movement at Sisimiut, business aviation is worked from the same apron as scheduled traffic. Private jet catering at Sisimiut reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

Scheduled airline
“Our flight at Sisimiut (JHS/BGSS) required HACCP with clear service-by-service organization. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. Very cabin-friendly catering. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Ahmed — Flight Crew Logistics Manager
“For a changing schedule at Sisimiut (JHS/BGSS), we needed flexible ad hoc catering. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Kamil — Ground Support Manager
“I needed reliable private jet menu at Sisimiut (JHS/BGSS) for a same-day departure. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at JHS
Diversion catering and ramp questions at JHS
What operations gets asked every week about Sisimiut.
Ask operations directly →Which lead time does an order at Sisimiut Airport need, and how late can a specification still change?
The loading sheet is locked against the sealed cart route from our kitchen to the stand, and most changes to cabin count or special meal codes can still be taken up to that lock point; last minute airline catering requests are handled case by case rather than refused outright.
How does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at JHS?
JHS routes private jet catering through our dedicated branch directly to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering held to the same cold chain and paperwork as any airline uplift.
Given the single narrow-body stand at BGSS, is airline catering delivered airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
There is one hi-loader route from our kitchen to the galley door here, and airline catering is boarded by that route rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
Can Sisimiut cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The same security-cleared crew handles every VIP flight catering and government flight catering movement here, with the protocol file documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
What halal, kosher and special meal codes does Sisimiut Airport produce, and how are they documented?
We produce halal and kosher sets against the full range of IATA SPML codes on a separate line, sealed and logged per passenger before it joins the main uplift.
