From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Altus, United States
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Altus (KLTS / LTS)
LTS (IATA) · KLTS (ICAO)
A 4097 m runway rated to wide-body reference code puts large-body movements on the ground at Altus, and every one of them boards from the ramp rather than at the aircraft door. Inflight catering here runs on hi-loader access straight to galley height, with in-flight catering staged from a kitchen sized to that same uplift, so aviation catering for scheduled, charter, government and private jet flights moves from seal to stand under one wide-body standard.

Inflight catering order window at Altus
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, KLTS
The loading window at Altus starts at the kitchen seal and ends at the galley door, with every stage between logged rather than assumed. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, not the aircraft's schedule, so the catering uplift moves the moment the stand is called instead of waiting behind it. Three runways and a wide-body reference code set the traffic this window has to work around, and the plan is built to that, not to an average day.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Altus sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst of those three, not the average of them. A wide-body reference code means the convoy itself, not the food, carries the operational risk on any given rotation, so the catering uplift is escorted as a controlled movement from the moment it leaves the sealed room. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at the aircraft, and the load closes only once a named handler has signed for what boarded, which is the chain of custody the galley door records against.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley door.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Altus airport
The flight kitchen at LTS is built around wide-body volume rather than around a single narrow-body turn, with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line run under one roof rather than split across sites. Airport catering in Altus is planned to the reference code the field holds, so a full multi-class load can be built and sealed as one run instead of several partial ones. HACCP governs production start to finish, and airport catering at Altus never leaves that line before the cold chain and the paperwork both close together.
The team behind government flight catering at Altus is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement is held to, alongside the documentation that has to travel with a sealed uplift at KLTS. That continuity is what a protocol desk is actually checking for when it asks who will be handling catering at LTS.
Halal airline meals and special meals at KLTS / LTS
VVIP catering to a written specification at Altus (LTS)
Menus at Altus are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a single fixed spread repeated on every rotation, so a First cabin service and a crew tray set never share a specification. Inflight catering here draws on produce sourced across the United States where the mission allows it, kept general rather than tied to a single grower or region, and adjusted with the season rather than fixed year round. VIP flight menus and charter flight menus are built from the same kitchen but to separate briefs, one written for a protocol movement and one for a full-cabin charter load. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the tray set is sealed, so the paperwork travels with the food rather than trailing it.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at KLTS are plated to a written specification rather than a standard tray, with VIP flight catering covering caviar and à-la-carte service on request. Every dish and substitution is filed against the standing order before departure, so Altus repeat rotations receive the same service twice, not a fresh brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Altus run multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals at Altus and cabin crew meals travel in the same tray sets, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster rather than pooled with the cabin service.
Protocol & dietary
The protocol and dietary line at LTS documents household, religious and medical requirements per passenger before anything is produced. Halal and kosher sets, alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that room, so inflight catering in Altus keeps every dietary set traceable back to the passenger it was built for.

Airport catering delivered airside at LTS
Altus carries a wide-body reference code across three runways, which sets a mixed profile of scheduled, charter and government movements rather than a single repeated narrow-body turn. That mix changes what catering has to solve for: a delegation is a documentation problem before it is a food problem, a peak wave is a capacity problem measured in simultaneous galleys, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition problem where the tray set has to match the last one exactly.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand under airside delivery, loaded by hi-loader to galley door height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft, with ramp access held on our own clearance rather than borrowed from another movement. Airline catering at KLTS and airport catering in United States both run off that same route, coordinated with ground handling on the apron so the convoy clears in step with the stand call rather than ahead of it or behind it.
One named coordinator carries every rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a documented handover closing the loop; aviation catering in Altus and in-flight catering at LTS are both built on that single point of accountability rather than a shared desk.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Altus airport
01
Government and state flight catering at LTS
A wide-body reference code at Altus means a delegation movement is planned for the same stand class as a scheduled service, so the protocol file has to be built around that shared ramp rather than a dedicated one. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations, including head of state movements, with the file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff assigned, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Altus
A wide-body reference code at KLTS means private airliners board on the same stand class as any scheduled movement, which keeps a royal flight catering rotation on a predictable ramp rather than a one. BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft are held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at KLTS
Our kitchen builds a full three-cabin uplift against the wide-body reference code held at Altus, staging it in the order the galleys are laid out rather than loading by cabin class alone. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at LTS counted against the loading sheet on every multi-leg rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LTS
With three runways rated to a wide-body reference code, Altus takes carriers running this station as an outstation as readily as a scheduled turn, and ad hoc airline catering is built to slot into either pattern without a separate booking path. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals boarded from the same kitchen as the cabin load.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Altus
The 4097 m runway at Altus takes the same business aviation traffic that files into the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, and our dedicated branch delivers to both. Private jet catering at LTS runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering and business aviation catering covering the ramp handler's side of the movement and business jet catering the cabin.

“Our sports movement through Altus (LTS/KLTS) required tour operator charter catering on a tight schedule. They handled the nutrition requests well and kept everything organized for fast distribution onboard. A good partner for sports charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Rayan — Flight Dispatch Coordinator
“For an urgent mission at Altus (LTS/KLTS), the team supported us with troop flight catering. Communication with operations was efficient and the order was adapted quickly when our timings moved. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Sara — Airport Duty Manager
“We ordered cargo airline crew catering for a cargo rotation through Altus (LTS/KLTS). They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. A reliable option for cargo operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at KLTS / LTS
Outstation catering and access questions at KLTS / LTS
What operations gets asked every week about Altus.
Ask operations directly →Does a specification change at LTS need extra lead time?
Every order at LTS is built against a loading window, and a specification can change up to the point our kitchen locks the cart for sealing. Last minute airline catering is handled inside that window rather than treated as an exception, though how far in advance the desk needs notice depends on cabin count and mission type.
When is a movement at KLTS catered under government or VVIP protocol?
When a booking is flagged as a state, royal or diplomatic movement, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both switch to a protocol file documented per passenger before production starts. That file, not the aircraft type, is what puts a rotation under a stricter chain of custody.
Are halal, kosher and SPML meals produced for flights through Altus?
The coordinator on duty confirms every halal, kosher and special meal code request against the passenger manifest before production begins. All special meals are produced on a separate line and sealed apart from the main cabin service, with the SPML code carried on the tray label through to boarding.
What does airside delivery look like at Altus Municipal Airport?
We move every sealed cart by hi-loader straight to galley door height rather than handing it off at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering reaches the stand under our own ramp clearance, which keeps the convoy inside the loading window instead of behind it.
