Aviation catering — Olympia, United States
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Olympia (KOLM / OLM)
OLM (IATA) · KOLM (ICAO)
Two runways and a narrow-body reference code set the frame for every rotation OLM handles, and our kitchen works to that frame rather than around it. We plan hi-loader boarding to galley height on wide-body-capable movements, and we build the in-flight catering schedule from that constraint outward: inflight catering staged, sealed and uplifted to the stand on time, with in-flight catering paperwork closed before pushback.

Aviation catering with ramp access at KOLM
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Olympia airport
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, OLM
Olympia's loading window runs from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, and ramp access is what makes that route repeatable rather than approximate. We hold the same sequence on every rotation: cart staged, apron crossed, hi-loader raised to galley height. Nothing about the route changes between a scheduled turn and a government movement at KOLM.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Olympia sit screening, an escort and ordinary apron traffic, and none of them are treated as background noise on a catering uplift. We plan the route against the worst of those three, not the average of them, so a delay on one leg does not become a delay on the load. Chain of custody runs on a signed sheet from the moment the galley catering cart is sealed to the moment a crew member signs for it at the aircraft, with temperature logged at both ends.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Olympia (OLM)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for KOLM
Olympia is worked from a production kitchen that runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to uplift. Airport catering at KOLM moves off that floor in sealed carts rather than loose trays, which keeps the cold chain intact from the larder to the galley door. Airport catering at Olympia is planned against that same kitchen for scheduled, charter and VIP movements alike, so the tray standard does not shift with the customer.
The team that handles government flight catering at Olympia is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from general staff. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and the kitchen floor, and is trained to the household service standards a protocol officer expects to see documented. That crew works the sealed uplift and its paperwork as one unit, from the kitchen seal to the signature at the aircraft.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Olympia, United States
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Olympia airport
Menus at Olympia are written to the cabin and the mission before they are written to anything else, and the cycle moves with the season rather than staying fixed. Where the route calls for it, the specification draws on regional produce — orchard fruit, dairy, fish — described in general terms rather than as a named dish. Inflight catering in Olympia is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, with each label matched to a seat number and a cabin before the cart is sealed. That documentation travels with the load, not separately from it.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Olympia are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed menu, with à-la-carte and tray service both available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so the presentation repeats identically on the next rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OLM run a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals in Olympia are boxed separately from the cabin load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept on distinct manifests so the roster, not the cabin count, decides the quantity.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at KOLM are documented per passenger rather than assumed from the booking class, covering halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in United States runs this set on a separate production line, sealed before it leaves that line so it never mixes with the general cabin load.

Catering uplift and airside delivery at Olympia
Olympia's traffic mixes scheduled, charter and government movements over two runways, and that mix sets the planning problem more than any single figure does: a government movement is a documentation problem, a charter peak is a capacity problem, a repeat scheduled rotation is a repetition problem, and the kitchen has to answer all three from the same floor.
Airline catering at Olympia moves off one production kitchen, staged as sealed carts and carried by hi-loader to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering at KOLM and in-flight catering at OLM run off the same ops desk, so a scheduled turn and a charter uplift are worked from a single duty roster rather than two. Aviation catering in United States, at this station, is planned stand by stand, with airside access to each movement held on our own badges rather than borrowed ones.
What we commit to on every rotation here is one coordinator named to the load, sealed carts from kitchen to aircraft, and a signed handover that closes the file.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at KOLM
01
Government and state flight catering at OLM
A narrow-body reference code sets the airframe this station boards, and within that frame government flight catering at Olympia covers delegations, state visits and official movements on the same terms as any other. The protocol file is documented per passenger, staff on the load carry security clearance on record, and the uplift is sealed at the kitchen before it reaches the head of state aircraft it is destined for.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Olympia
On the ramp at KOLM, a 1,676-metre runway sets the working length every rotation here is planned against, and royal flight catering follows that same frame rather than a longer one. Private airliners on this profile — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP configurations — are boarded to a written household specification held on file between movements, with halal sets and other royal household requirements produced against that same specification on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at KOLM
Sequencing the load around a single working runway length of 1,676 metres is the constraint every charter movement at Olympia is planned against before the cabin count is even confirmed. Charter flight catering at Olympia covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions on multi-leg rotations, with charter flight catering at KOLM counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order rather than loaded ad hoc.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at OLM
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand Olympia offers, and that single fact shapes how ad hoc airline catering is planned here: one duty roster, no wide-body contingency to fall back on. Carriers running OLM as an outstation draw on outstation catering for scheduled turns, diversion catering when a rotation is forced down unplanned, and technical stop catering for a short-ground movement, with AOG covered on the same roster and crew meals at OLM boxed against the same manifest as the cabin load.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Olympia
A 1,676-metre runway sets what business aviation can work into Olympia, and that length allows the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field to take the private jet catering volume this station sees. Private jet catering in United States, at OLM, is delivered on the same cold chain and the same signed paperwork as an airline uplift, run through business aviation catering and FBO catering and business jet catering alike, whichever ramp the aircraft is parked on.

“Our passenger profile required special meal codes at Olympia (OLM/KOLM), with several different dietary restrictions. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. We were happy with the accuracy of the order. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Alexander — Charter Dispatch Manager
“For a last-minute requirement at Olympia (OLM/KOLM), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Arjun — Airline Dispatch Manager
“We booked private jet catering in Olympia for a flight operating through OLM/KOLM. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. A very easy service to use at this station. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at Olympia, United States
Technical stop catering questions at Olympia, United States
What operations gets asked every week about Olympia.
Ask operations directly →Given the ramp constraints at Olympia Airport, do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
There is a hi-loader route from our kitchen to every stand at Olympia, so airline catering is boarded direct to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with airside delivery held on our own badges.
How do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at OLM?
OLM's GA terminal and the FBOs on the field are worked on the same cold chain as an airline uplift, so private jet catering and FBO catering reach the aircraft with the same sealed paperwork, whichever ramp handler is on shift.
Do you publish what airline catering costs at KOLM?
Yes, in the sense that we quote rather than list a price: airline catering cost at KOLM depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window requested, and our desk returns a quotation against those three.
Which lead time do you need to confirm an order at Olympia, and how late can the specification still change?
The cart and its route are booked ahead of the rotation, and how far in advance depends on the cabin count and any special meal codes; last minute airline catering is still worked where the loading window allows it, with changes taken up to the cutoff our desk confirms.
Do you produce halal and kosher meals at Olympia?
Yes, halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line at Olympia and documented against SPML codes per passenger, sealed before they reach the cabin load.
