Aviation catering — Orlando, United States
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Orlando (KMCO / MCO)
MCO (IATA) · KMCO (ICAO)
A 3659 m longest runway at Orlando clears wide-body movements onto four runways feeding the wide-body reference code stands, so a scheduled widebody, a state aircraft or a large charter all load from the same ramp footprint. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering at MCO from a kitchen staged for hi-loader boarding to galley height, with inflight catering carried airside by uplift crew rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

On the apron — Orlando
Aviation catering with ramp access at KMCO
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at KMCO / MCO
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Orlando airport
The loading window at Orlando runs from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, measured rather than guessed at. Ramp access is held on our own credentials, so the catering uplift moves onto the apron without waiting on a third party at the stand. That single chain, from seal to signature, is what a wide-body rotation at MCO is actually timed against.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Orlando sit screening, an escort through airside, and the ordinary traffic of a four-runway field working wide-body movements. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of that traffic rather than the average of it, because a delayed escort costs the same minutes whether the aircraft is a scheduled widebody or a government stand-alone.
Galley catering here is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, once again at the handover on the stand, with both temperatures recorded against the same load. A single name signs the load at both ends, which keeps the chain of custody unbroken between the two readings. That signature is what closes the loading window at KMCO, not the clock alone.
One coordinator signs the load at the kitchen and again at the aircraft.
Airline food supplier for KMCO / MCO rotations
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Orlando (MCO)
Four runways at Orlando feed a wide-body traffic mix that our kitchen is built to match, running hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof rather than across separate units. Airport catering at KMCO is planned from that single facility, which keeps airport catering in Orlando accountable to one HACCP standard instead of several. Every tray set leaving the flight kitchen at MCO is checked against the same cold chain record before it is loaded.
Security clearance is held on file for the named team that handles government flight catering at Orlando, not issued fresh for each rotation. The same cleared staff sit on the access list, trained to royal household standards as well as to the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is answered by roster rather than by promise at KMCO.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Orlando
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Orlando, United States
Menus at MCO are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed printed card, and inflight catering in Orlando draws on produce from across Florida and the wider United States where the mission allows it. Citrus, gulf seafood and dairy from regional producers sit alongside a written specification rather than a fixed dish list, adjusted rotation to rotation. Every tray set carries a documented allergen, halal, kosher or medical profile, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. That documentation travels with the load, not as a separate sheet issued later.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at KMCO are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so the presentation matches what was agreed rather than what happens to be on hand that day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Orlando take multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals in Orlando and cabin crew meals travel in the same tray sets as pilot meals, and crew meals in United States rotations follow the same roster discipline as the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at MCO are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in United States rotations produces these on a separate line at the kitchen, sealed before it leaves that line rather than mixed into general service.

Flight catering airside delivery at KMCO
Orlando works a wide-body traffic mix across four runways, and that mix sets the catering problem station by station: a delegation movement is a documentation exercise, a peak departure wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat widebody rotation is a repetition exercise that rewards a fixed specification. Airline catering at MCO is planned against whichever of those three is running that day, never against a single generic schedule.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader to galley height, staged from our kitchen and escorted across the ramp rather than dropped at the foot of the stand. In-flight catering at MCO and inflight catering at KMCO move on the same badges we hold for airside delivery, so aviation catering in Orlando does not wait on a handover from a third party once the cart clears the kitchen door.
What we commit to on every stand here is one coordinator per rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft, which is how airport catering at MCO stays the same operation whether the flight is scheduled, charter or state.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at KMCO
01
Government and state flight catering at MCO
Onto the same wide-body stands that take a scheduled widebody at Orlando, a head of state aircraft is worked to the identical ramp sequence rather than a separate one. Government flight catering at MCO documents the protocol file per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed at the kitchen before catering at MCO ever reaches the stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Orlando
Sequencing a private airliner alongside scheduled wide-body movements is what the reference code at Orlando's stands is built to hold, galley by galley, without reworking the loading plan. Royal flight catering at MCO covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP equipment against a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary sets produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at KMCO
3659 metres of runway at Orlando clears the wide-body equipment that charter, ACMI and wet-lease operators bring through on group movements and special missions. Charter flight catering at KMCO and charter flight catering at Orlando load a full three-cabin uplift on the wide-body stands, counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MCO
A wide-body reference code across Orlando's four runways is what lets an ad hoc airline catering call be answered on the same ramp used for scheduled rotations. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering at KMCO run off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals at Orlando and crew meals at KMCO carried across a multi-leg rotation without a second briefing.

Private jet and FBO catering at Orlando
Our kitchen extends the same 3659 m-runway wide-body capability to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, running private jet catering in Orlando on the identical cold chain used for a wide-body rotation. Business aviation catering and business jet catering here follow the same sealed-cart paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering delivered on request rather than as an afterthought.

“We requested aviation catering packaging at Orlando (MCO/KMCO) and the packaging worked very well onboard. The order came ready for service with no unnecessary packaging or loose items to sort through. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Jose — Charter Flight Coordinator
“For a changing schedule at Orlando (MCO/KMCO), we needed flexible ACMI. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. Good support for a changing flight schedule. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Fabio — Airport Services Manager
“For our business jet at Orlando (MCO/KMCO), I arranged FBO catering with a few passenger-specific requests. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Each special meal request at Orlando is produced on a dedicated line, covering halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes, documented per passenger before the tray set is sealed.
