Aviation catering — Huntington, United States
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Huntington (KHTS / HTS)
HTS (IATA) · KHTS (ICAO)
One runway and a narrow-body reference code set the loading plan at Huntington: every rotation is worked stand-side rather than staged across parallel gates, so timing carries the weight a second runway would otherwise absorb. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering here on that single sequence, boarding wide-body-style volume through hi-loader access to galley height for the uplift each departure needs.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Huntington (HTS)
Boarding a catering uplift at Huntington starts at the sealed cart, not at the aircraft door, because ramp access is what turns a kitchen output into a boarded load. The single stand at KHTS means the apron sequence is fixed well before the cart moves, so the route from kitchen to galley door is set once and held. Every stage between the two points is timed against that sequence rather than against a general estimate.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Huntington sit screening, an escort and the apron traffic the one runway generates, and chain of custody is planned against the busiest of those, not the average. The galley catering load is sealed at the kitchen door, escorted onto the apron, and the seal is checked again before the hi-loader lifts it to galley height. A temperature log opens when the cart is sealed and closes at handover, and the catering uplift is signed for only once that second reading matches the first.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen door to the aircraft's.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Huntington
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Huntington, United States
A single runway limits how many rotations touch Huntington in a given window, and airport catering here is planned around that ceiling rather than around a broad menu list. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof, all run to HACCP standard, so airport catering at HTS moves from cold storage to sealed cart without a break in the cold chain. The flight kitchen at Huntington finishes tray sets to galley-ready condition before the convoy leaves the door.
The team that handles government flight catering at Huntington is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and listed on the access roster before a cart is packed. They work to a standing household service specification rather than to a menu written per movement, which is what keeps royal and state work consistent across repeat visits. Paperwork travels sealed with the load, so the chain of custody never depends on memory.
VIP flight catering menus for HTS departures
VVIP catering written per mission at KHTS / HTS
Menus at Huntington are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, because a single-runway station still boards First, Business and main cabin on the same rotation. Local produce from United States enters the tray set where it fits the specification — dairy, orchard fruit, regional fish — never as a theme in itself. Inflight catering here runs from passenger meal boxes through to VVIP tray sets on the same production line, sequenced by departure rather than by cabin class. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, so a special meal never arrives unlabelled.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Huntington are plated to a written specification, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request rather than fixed by cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation gets the same presentation each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at KHTS run on multi-choice hot service, finished 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, all on the same sealed cart.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Huntington, 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 the kitchen, keeping it apart from the standard tray run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Huntington airport
A single runway and a narrow-body reference code mean Huntington works scheduled, charter and ad hoc traffic through one sequence rather than across parallel stands, so a delegation movement is primarily a documentation problem here and a peak wave is primarily a timing one. Airline catering at Huntington is planned around that single stand, with each rotation's loading window fixed before the cart is packed.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, moved airside on our own clearance from the flight kitchen to the ramp, with an escort covering the route from sealed cart to handover. Aviation catering at HTS and in-flight catering at KHTS run off the same duty roster, so inflight catering at KHTS and airport catering in Huntington share one ops desk rather than separate ones per segment.
One coordinator signs the load at both ends, sealed cart to sealed cart, so the handover carries a single name rather than a shift change.
Aviation catering for five mission types at KHTS / HTS
01
Government and state flight catering at Huntington
Our kitchen works the 2139 m runway's single sequence into a fixed loading slot for government flight catering at Huntington, so a delegation movement is scheduled rather than squeezed in. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff carry security clearance on file, and the uplift for a head of state aircraft is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at KHTS
The 2139 m runway at Huntington sets a single approach sequence that royal flight catering is scheduled against rather than adjusted around on the day. Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — are held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request under royal household standards.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at HTS
A narrow-body reference code still takes ACMI and wet-lease aircraft on group movements, and charter flight catering at Huntington is built around that single-stand sequence. Special missions and charter flight catering at HTS carry a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, staged in the order the galleys are laid out for boarding.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Huntington
A 2139 m runway, and every ad hoc airline catering request at Huntington is worked against that single length rather than against a choice of stands. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off one duty roster here, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals at HTS boarded on the same cart as the passenger load.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at KHTS
On the same single runway that sets the airline sequence at Huntington, business aviation moves through the GA terminal on its own slot rather than competing with wide-body timing. Private jet catering in United States reaches the FBOs on the field through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our ops team used the service at Huntington (HTS/KHTS) as an airline ops catering supplier. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Tariq — VIP Trip Manager
“We used the service for airline catering in Huntington on a VIP rotation through HTS/KHTS. The menu selection was good and all special requests were clearly identified. A very easy service to use at this station. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Mila — Protocol Aviation Manager
“I requested special meal codes for passengers departing Huntington (HTS/KHTS) and the labeling was excellent. The order arrived complete and the special requests were handled with the same presentation as the regular meals. We were happy with the accuracy of the order. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at HTS
Crew meals, lead times and access at HTS
What operations gets asked every week about Huntington.
Ask operations directly →At what point does an order for Huntington need to be placed, and how late can the specification change at HTS?
The lead time starts once the rotation and stand are confirmed, and cabin counts can typically still move closer to departure than the full menu specification can; ask how far in advance your mission type needs to lock a final tray count.
Where does the cost of airline catering at KHTS actually come from, since no price list is published?
The quotation is built from the loading sheet: cabin count, specification complexity and the loading window all feed the airline catering cost, and the desk returns a figure once those are confirmed rather than quoting from a fixed rate card.
Who documents halal, kosher and special meal codes for flights through Huntington?
For every passenger flying through Huntington, halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes are logged individually and produced on a separate line before sealing, so a special meal never arrives unlabelled.
When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at Huntington Tri-State Airport?
Once the cart clears screening and the escort takes it onto the apron, airside delivery runs straight to the stand, where the hi-loader lifts the sealed load to galley height for boarding.
Are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered under protocol at HTS?
The same named coordinator who runs the standard rotation also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering movements, working to a fixed protocol file rather than a menu written per flight.
