Aviation catering — Silao, Mexico
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Silao (MMLO / BJX)
BJX (IATA) · MMLO (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code at Silao means main-deck galleys are boarded to full height, not handed up from a belt loader: our hi-loader brings the uplift level with the door on every rotation. Inflight catering here runs from a sealed kitchen through airside checkpoints to the stand, and the same in-flight catering standard covers scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures.

Catering uplift timing at Silao, Mexico
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Silao airport
The catering at MMLO moves on a fixed sequence rather than a guess: the cart is sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the ramp under ramp access controls, and opened again only at the galley door. Between those two points the load never leaves a documented custody, and the timeline below marks each stage rather than a single estimated hour. Silao runs one wide-body stand, so the sequence is planned to that constraint rather than to a generic schedule.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Silao sit airside screening, an escorted crossing and apron traffic around the single runway; we plan every catering uplift against the worst of those, not the average. The convoy carries the risk here, not the galley catering itself, so the route and the checkpoint order are fixed before the cart leaves the dock. Temperatures are logged at the seal and logged again at handover, and the paperwork that closes the load carries a signature from both sides of the door.
One responsibility runs from the seal at our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for MMLO / BJX
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Silao (BJX)
The flight kitchen behind BJX runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to seal. Airport catering at MMLO is planned against a single wide-body stand, so output is staged in loading order rather than produced against a general timetable. That structure is what lets airport catering in Mexico stay consistent whether the rotation is a scheduled service or a one-off charter through Silao.
Government flight catering at Silao is worked by the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool: security clearance held on file, each name on the access list, and every member trained to royal household service standards. The paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift is checked by that same crew before the cart leaves the kitchen. Continuity, not headcount, is what a protocol officer is actually buying here.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Silao
VVIP catering to a written specification at Silao, Mexico
AERO GOURMET writes its menus to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed carte, and at Silao that plan draws on regional produce where the season allows it: dairy, orchard fruit and fresh-caught fish from the surrounding region sit alongside a standing tray-set structure. Inflight catering in Mexico moves between First, Business and main cabin service without changing the sourcing logic behind it, only the plating and the pace. A charter flight menu runs the same kitchen discipline as a scheduled rotation, adjusted for cabin count and mission length rather than for occasion. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that written record rather than a verbal request.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Silao receive VIP flight catering plated to a written specification rather than a fixed carte, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order at MMLO, so a repeat rotation is served to the same plate and pace each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at BJX take multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals at MMLO and cabin crew meals travel in their own tray sets, with pilot meals boxed separately against the roster.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Silao are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets: halal and kosher production, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and inflight catering built to each recorded requirement. Every set is produced on its own line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Flight catering airside delivery at MMLO
Silao runs a wide-body-capable field on a single 3,500-metre runway, which means the traffic passing through mixes scheduled service, charter movements and occasional government flights across one set of stands rather than several parallel ones. That mix turns catering into a sequencing problem as much as a production one: a delegation adds a documentation step, a charter adds a full three-cabin uplift, and a repeat rotation adds nothing but the discipline of doing it the same way twice.
Our uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader, boarded to galley height rather than handed up from ground level, with airside delivery run on our own ramp access badges from kitchen to stand. Airline catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Silao are coordinated off one ops desk rather than split across departments, and airport catering in Mexico at this field is planned stand by stand against the same wide-body reference code every time.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at Silao (BJX)
01
Government and state flight catering at BJX
With a 3,500-metre runway able to take a wide-body movement on short notice, our kitchen holds capacity in reserve for exactly that kind of arrival. Government flight catering at Silao then follows a documented protocol file per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and a head of state aircraft boarded from a sealed uplift.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Silao
A 3,500-metre runway gives the wide-body stand at MMLO the reach to take a private airliner on the same ramp used for scheduled traffic. Royal flight catering there is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at MMLO
A wide-body movement lands on the single stand at Silao with room for a full three-cabin uplift rather than a partial load. Charter flight catering there serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, and charter flight catering at BJX is staged and counted against the loading sheet in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at BJX
A 3,500-metre runway at Silao takes wide-body movements on the field's single stand, which is what lets scheduled and one-off traffic share the same ramp discipline. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering and outstation catering, with diversion catering and technical stop catering held ready off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at Silao
On the same field as the wide-body stand, the GA terminal and the FBOs handle a separate flow of business aviation that our dedicated branch provisions on its own schedule. Private jet catering in Mexico reaches that side of the field on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as a wide-body uplift, with FBO catering and business aviation catering run off the identical kitchen seal and business jet catering following the same handover.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged technical stop catering at Silao (BJX/MMLO). Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. Good support when timing is the main pressure point. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

“Silao (BJX/MMLO) was an outstation for us, and we booked outstation catering for the sector. Updates were concise and the delivery timing matched our handling plan. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at Silao
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Silao
What operations gets asked every week about Silao.
Ask operations directly →Whose hi-loader boards the aircraft at MMLO?
For every rotation at Silao, our own crew runs the hi-loader from the kitchen to the aircraft, providing airside delivery and airline catering direct to galley height rather than handing the load off at the foot of the aircraft.
With one wide-body stand in use, are halal, kosher and SPML sets produced at Silao?
There is a standing production line for halal and kosher sets, plus the full range of IATA special meal codes, all documented per passenger before they leave the kitchen.
Silao is where FBO catering and the GA terminal need answering: do you deliver private jet catering there?
The same hi-loader convoy and sealed carts that board a wide-body aircraft also reach the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, so private jet catering and FBO catering run on the identical cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Do you take orders on short notice at BJX?
Yes, with a lead time that shortens for a confirmed slot: how far in advance an order should land depends on the cabin count, but last minute airline catering is worked against the loading window rather than turned away.
