Aviation catering — Cordova, United States
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Cordova (PACV / CDV)
CDV (IATA) · PACV (ICAO)
A 2286 m runway sets the aircraft this narrow-body station handles, and every uplift here is planned against that single reference length rather than a generic capability list. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aircraft provisioning move by hi-loader to wide-body galley height where fitted, and the same uplift reaches the stand direct rather than waiting kerbside for a crew to carry it aboard.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Cordova (CDV)
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at PACV
The catering uplift at Cordova is tracked from the moment the cart is sealed at the kitchen to the moment it is signed for at the galley door, not estimated after the fact. Ramp access is what makes that measurable: the load moves straight from our vehicle onto the apron and up the loader rather than crossing a public apron path. That single ramp movement is the one figure we can actually stand behind on every rotation through PACV.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Cordova sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built to absorb the worst of those three rather than assume the best. Chain of custody runs unbroken from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley: nobody outside the loading crew touches the cart in between. Temperature is logged at sealing and again at handover, and the catering uplift is closed out only once both readings and the signature are on file. That record is what a protocol desk or an ops officer asks for first, and it exists for every rotation through CDV, not only the flagged ones.
One sealed cart, one escort, one signature: the load is accountable end to end.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Cordova airport
The flight kitchen provisioning airport catering at Cordova runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to the narrow-body reference code this field is built to serve. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, and the cold chain is held continuously rather than checked at intervals. Airport catering at CDV depends on that single site rather than a network of subcontracted kitchens feeding the same stand.
The team behind government flight catering at Cordova is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from a general pool. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a protocol desk expects before a delegation ever lands. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift move through PACV without a new briefing each time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at PACV / CDV
VVIP catering to a written specification at Cordova (CDV)
Menus at Cordova are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than issued from a single fixed list, so a scheduled sector and a diplomatic movement are never served from the same specification. Local sourcing draws on the region's dairy, fish and orchard produce where the route allows it, worked into a rotation that still meets a wide-body-style tray standard on a narrow-body operation. Inflight catering here covers everything from passenger meal boxes to a plated VIP course, with the same kitchen producing both on the same day. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, never assumed from a generic code.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at PACV are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and course service available on request rather than fixed to one menu card. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard without a fresh brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CDV run on multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed 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, so cabin crew meals never draw from the same tray run as the passenger service.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Cordova, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, keeping the protocol tray apart from the general run.

Flight catering airside delivery at CDV
Cordova's narrow-body reference code sets the traffic this field actually handles: scheduled and charter movements sized to a single runway, where a repeat rotation is a matter of consistent tray specification more than volume. That profile means airline catering at Cordova is planned around predictable turnarounds rather than peak-wave surges, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all run off the same rotation schedule rather than separate desks.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader where the aircraft calls for galley-height boarding, with our own escort covering the ramp crossing from vehicle to aircraft. Airport catering in Cordova is loaded stand by stand, with ramp access held on badges issued to our own loading crew rather than shared credentials.
One coordinator owns each rotation through PACV, sealed carts move under one chain of custody, and a signed handover closes every load before wheels-up.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at PACV / CDV
01
Government and state flight catering at CDV
At Cordova, the narrow-body reference code this field is built to still supports the full protocol load a head of state movement requires on the ground. Government flight catering here documents the protocol file per passenger, puts only security-cleared staff on the load, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen for any official delegation or state visit routed through PACV.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Cordova
Loading a private airliner through a single narrow-body stand means sequencing every cart against one runway slot rather than spreading the work across parallel gates, and that constraint is set by the reference code Cordova holds. Royal flight catering and VVIP work for private airliners, BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP types alike, run to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements available on request through PACV.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at PACV
2286 metres is the longest runway at Cordova, and that length is what lets a charter or ACMI operator plan a full three-cabin uplift here rather than a reduced load. Charter flight catering at PACV covers wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order, with charter flight catering repeated to the same standard across every leg of a multi-leg tour.

Airline and ad hoc catering at CDV
A narrow-body movement diverted into PACV still needs a full tray run on short notice, and the reference code this field holds is exactly what makes that possible without a special waiver. Carriers running Cordova as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering for one-off rotations, outstation catering for the standing arrangement, diversion catering when a sector lands unplanned, and technical stop catering for a short-ground turn, with crew meals boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg pairing.

Private jet and FBO catering at Cordova
We work the same 2286 m runway that sets Cordova's wide-body limits when we provision the business aviation movements using this field. Private jet catering in Cordova reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, through our dedicated business aviation catering and business jet catering branch, with FBO catering closing out on the same signed handover.

Outstation catering questions at PACV / CDV
Diversion catering and ramp questions at PACV / CDV
What operations gets asked every week about Cordova.
Ask operations directly →The narrow-body reference code shapes every quotation, so how much does airline catering cost at CDV?
There is no published price list: a quotation depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a figure once those three are set.
Do you handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at PACV under full protocol?
Yes, with protocol documented per passenger and only security-cleared staff assigned to the load, covering government flight catering and VIP flight catering alike.
Cordova is where the uplift moves airside, so how does airline catering actually reach the aircraft here?
A hi-loader carries the sealed cart from vehicle to galley door under airside delivery, so the load never sits kerbside waiting to be carried aboard by hand.
What lead time does Cordova Airport need for an order to change?
We ask for standard notice on a scheduled specification, but last minute airline catering is worked case by case, so how far in advance you tell us still shortens the changes we can make.
