Aviation catering — Orlando, United States
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Orlando (KSFB / SFB)
SFB (IATA) · KSFB (ICAO)
A wide-body aerodrome reference code at Orlando lets the four runways here take long-haul metal, which sets the whole standard for uplift on this field. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding to galley height at KSFB, moving trays and carts straight onto the aircraft rather than leaving them at the foot of the stand.

Every catering uplift bound for a wide-body stand at KSFB starts on ramp access rather than a stand-side drop, since the hi-loader takes the cart straight to galley height. That single step removes the handover point where most delay is lost on the apron. The route from our kitchen to the aircraft here is worked as one sealed movement, not two separate legs joined at the kerb.

Between the flight kitchen and a wide-body stand at Orlando, the convoy is the actual risk in a catering uplift, not the food itself: screening, an escort vehicle and apron traffic all sit inside that short run. We plan the galley catering movement against the worst case each of those steps can throw at a rotation, rather than the average one. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the handover on the stand, with a signature closing the chain of custody at the galley door.
One coordinator owns the load from the sealed cart to the signature at the galley.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for Orlando (SFB)

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Orlando
Airport catering at SFB runs from hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line held under one roof, sized for wide-body rotations rather than a single-aisle turnaround. That range under one roof is what makes airport catering at Orlando workable on short notice: nothing has to be trucked in from a second address once an order lands. The kitchen is run to HACCP, with the tray sets built to leave galley-ready and the cold chain unbroken between the larder and the sealed cart.
The crew that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled in for the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and is trained to royal household service standards as well as the standing tray specification. That consistency is what a protocol officer checks first, well before the menu itself.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Orlando airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at SFB
Menus at SFB are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, which keeps inflight catering consistent across a multi-class rotation rather than varying stand by stand. Where local sourcing is used, produce drawn from the wider United States supply chain sits alongside the standing tray specification rather than replacing it. Every set travels with documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical codings, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. Nothing is plated without that paperwork attached to the cart.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Orlando are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed by tray. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation is served the same way each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at KSFB run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger tray sets and matched to the roster for that sector.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary needs at Orlando are documented per passenger before the cart is built, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering here is produced on a separate line for those requirements and sealed before it leaves that line.

HACCP and sealed transfer for aircraft catering at KSFB / SFB
Flight catering airside delivery at Orlando, United States
Orlando handles a traffic mix that moves across scheduled, charter, VIP and government flying rather than settling on one profile, and each of those brings a different catering demand to the same wide-body stand: a delegation adds paperwork, a peak wave adds volume, a repeat charter rotation adds repetition. That mix is what the kitchen here is built to absorb without one segment displacing another.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our own kitchen, boarding directly at the galley door rather than being left at the foot of the stand. Airline catering at KSFB and airport catering at Orlando both run off that same route, with aviation catering, in-flight catering and inflight catering across the United States operation carried on one ops desk rather than split by segment.
On every stand we hold to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover at the galley door.

“Our flight at Orlando (SFB/KSFB) required airline meal boxes with clear service-by-service organization. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Very cabin-friendly catering. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Zain — Network Control Coordinator
“For a changing schedule at Orlando (SFB/KSFB), we needed flexible outstation. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Hassan — VIP Account Manager
“I needed reliable private jet menu at Orlando (SFB/KSFB) for a same-day departure. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Orlando, United States
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Orlando airport
What operations gets asked every week about Orlando.
Ask operations directly →Whose FBO catering reaches every operator on the field at SFB?
For every FBO on the field and the GA terminal, private jet catering here runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.
Is airline catering cost fixed at KSFB?
The coordinator on duty prices a quotation against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than a flat rate, and the desk comes back with a figure once those are known.
Does Orlando cater VIP, VVIP and government flights under protocol?
Every movement in that category runs on a documented protocol file, with VIP flight catering and government flight catering both handled by the same security-cleared team.
Where does airline catering reach the aircraft directly at Orlando International Airport?
The signed handover record at the galley door is what proves it: airline catering here is delivered by airside delivery and boarded by hi-loader, not left at the foot of the stand.
How far in advance must an order be placed at SFB?
The standard lead time covers a scheduled rotation with room to spare, and how far in advance that needs to be depends on cabin count; last minute airline catering is still worked through the same duty roster for diversions and ad hoc uplifts.
