From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Orlando, United States
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Orlando (KISM / ISM)
ISM (IATA) · KISM (ICAO)
Two runways and a narrow-body reference code set the working pattern at Orlando: fast turns, tight ramp windows, no wide-body stand to plan around. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering off that pattern, with aviation catering staged for hi-loader boarding straight to galley height, uplift moving airside from kitchen to aircraft without a stop at the foot of the steps.

On the apron — Orlando
Aviation catering with ramp access at Orlando airport
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Orlando
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Orlando, United States
The loading window at Orlando runs from the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the signature at the galley door, and it is held against the same ramp access every rotation, not estimated fresh each time. A narrow-body turn leaves little slack on the apron, so the catering uplift is staged before the aircraft is on stand, sequenced to clear customs and security checks without holding the push. What changes rotation to rotation is the route across the apron; what does not is the standard the load is checked against at KISM.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Orlando sit screening, an escort onto the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp, and none of it is left to chance: the route is planned against the worst case, not the average one. Galley catering leaves the kitchen sealed and logged, and the seal is checked again at the galley door before anything is loaded. That chain of custody is the actual product here, more than the tray sets it carries, and it is why the catering uplift is written to a sequence rather than a guess. Every cart that reaches KISM under that seal has a temperature log and a signature attached to it, both closed out before departure.
One seal, one route, one signature — the load is proven, not promised.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Orlando, United States
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at KISM / ISM
Airport catering at Orlando runs from one production kitchen rather than a scatter of outstation drops, with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line held under the same roof. That single site is what makes airport catering here repeatable rotation to rotation: the same HACCP standard governs the cold chain from the moment a tray is packed to the moment it clears the galley door at KISM. A narrow-body turnaround does not allow for a second attempt, so the kitchen plans its output to the loading window rather than to a fixed daily figure.
The team behind government flight catering at Orlando is a named crew, not a rotating pool: security clearance on file, checked against the access list before each movement, and briefed on the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That same team carries royal household standards into any rotation that calls for them, at ISM and beyond it. Nothing about the food changes the clearance; the clearance is what lets the food move at all.
VIP flight catering menus for KISM departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Orlando
Menus for Orlando are built to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, drawing on the produce of the surrounding United States region — orchard fruit, dairy, fresh fish — worked into a written specification rather than a fixed dish list. Inflight catering here moves from a plated First-cabin course to a galley-ready meal box on the same rotation, with the cabin deciding the format, not the other way round. Every set is documented for allergens, and halal and kosher options are produced on request. The result is a menu range that flexes with the mission at KISM without losing the standard it is checked against.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Orlando are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request and filed against the standing order for the next rotation. VIP flight catering here is checked course by course before it leaves the kitchen, not assembled on the ramp.
Business cabins
Business cabins at ISM run on multi-choice hot service 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 for the same sector.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at KISM, with halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes produced on a dedicated line. Inflight catering for dietary and protocol needs is sealed before it joins the main uplift, never mixed in afterwards.

Flight catering airside delivery at Orlando (ISM)
Orlando works to a narrow-body reference code across two runways, which sets a traffic profile of fast turns rather than long wide-body dwell times: airline catering here is planned to the turnaround clock, and a repeat rotation is treated as a repetition problem, not a one-off brief. Aviation catering at Orlando is built around that same pattern, with menu cycles adjusted week to week while the tray standard itself stays fixed.
Uplift reaches the aircraft by airside delivery from our kitchen to the stand, loaded through the galley door rather than dropped at the foot of the steps; ground handling on the apron clears the route ahead of each push. In-flight catering at KISM moves under escort where the ramp calls for it, with the loading crew working to the same sequence on every stand.
Airport catering at Orlando carries one coordinator's name against every load, sealed carts at handover and a signed record closing out the rotation.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Orlando airport
01
Government and state flight catering at KISM
The 1,829-metre runway at Orlando takes the aircraft that carry state and delegation traffic through this station without a length constraint on the movement. Government flight catering here runs on a documented protocol file per passenger, security-cleared staff and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, ready for any head of state movement routed through KISM.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at ISM
A private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or comparable wide-body VIP configuration — is boarded at Orlando under the same reference-code clearance as any other movement on the field. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat rotations, from a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request at KISM.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Orlando
On the ramp at ISM, the narrow-body reference code sets the stand pattern that charter, ACMI and wet-lease movements are worked into alongside scheduled traffic. Charter flight catering at Orlando covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering staged in the order the galleys are laid out for boarding.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at KISM
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand at Orlando, and our kitchen plans its output to that turnaround rather than to a wide-body hold. We run ad hoc airline catering for carriers that treat ISM as an outstation, cover diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, and hold outstation catering on standby for AOG across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at ISM
A narrow-body reference code means business aviation movements share stand sequencing with scheduled and charter traffic rather than a dedicated ramp of their own, and loading plans at Orlando are built around that shared sequence. Private jet catering here is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as any airline uplift at KISM.

“We used football club charter catering at Orlando (ISM/KISM) for a team charter and had a good experience. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. We would book them again for another team movement. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Denis — Outstation Manager
“Our flight through Orlando (ISM/KISM) required military charter catering with limited preparation time. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Luca — VIP Operations Controller
“For a cargo sector from Orlando (ISM/KISM), we arranged freighter crew meals for the operating crew. Meals arrived on time and were packed practically for a working crew rather than over-presented. We would use them again for another cargo sector. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at KISM
Crew meals, lead times and access at KISM
What operations gets asked every week about Orlando.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering reach the aircraft at Orlando?
The chain of custody runs from our kitchen to the galley door: airside delivery to the stand, with hi-loader access used wherever the aircraft and stand allow it.
How far in advance does Orlando need a catering order, and how late can it change?
The standard build runs on a fixed lead time from booking to loading window, but the specification itself — counts, dietary codes, cabin mix — can be revised close to departure without resetting the whole order.
Is airline catering cost fixed at ISM?
The coordinator on duty prices each request against cabin count, specification and loading window, since airline catering cost is quoted per rotation rather than published as a flat rate.
Who handles private jet catering at KISM?
For every operator on the field, FBO catering is delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with no distinction made between the two.
At what point are halal, kosher and special meal codes produced for Orlando departures?
Production of halal, kosher and SPML sets is scheduled at the start of the kitchen run, on a line kept separate from the main tray build, then sealed before it joins the rest of the uplift.
Does Orlando handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
Each such movement is worked to a documented protocol file, security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift, covering VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike.
