Aviation catering — Corrientes, Argentina
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Corrientes (SARC / CNQ)
CNQ (IATA) · SARC (ICAO)
With a 2100 m runway and a narrow-body reference code, Corrientes takes scheduled, charter and VIP movements on a single strip, and every one of them boards from the ramp rather than at the foot of the aircraft. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body-standard aviation catering here, with hi-loader uplift to galley height on every rotation the field takes.

Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Corrientes airport
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at CNQ
Per rotation, the catering uplift at CNQ is planned against ramp access from the first badge check to the galley door, not against a rough estimate. Corrientes runs one runway and a narrow-body reference code, which keeps the apron sequence short and the routing predictable rather than queued behind wide-body traffic. That predictability is what lets us hold a tight window between the flight kitchen and the stand on every load.

Between our kitchen and the stand at SARC sit an airside checkpoint, an escorted convoy and the apron traffic proper to a single-runway field, and we plan every catering uplift against the slowest of them rather than the average. The narrow-body reference code held at Corrientes keeps that convoy short, but the sequence is still worked to a fixed chain of custody: sealed at despatch, escorted onto the apron, opened only at the galley catering point on the aircraft. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the loading sheet is signed by the crew member who receives it, closing the record for that rotation.
One coordinator owns the load from the sealed cart to the signed handover.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for SARC

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at SARC
The flight kitchen that provisions airport catering at Corrientes runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to load. Airport catering at SARC is worked to that single standard regardless of cabin or mission, with the cold chain held from the larder to the cart. The same kitchen supplies the flight kitchen at CNQ for every segment the field takes, scheduled, charter and government alike.
The team behind government flight catering at Corrientes is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access roster, and trained to the household standards a protocol movement requires. That consistency is deliberate — a delegation or a royal household movement is handled by staff who already know the paperwork rather than by whoever is on shift. Each uplift carries its own signed chain of custody from the kitchen to the aircraft.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Corrientes, Argentina
VVIP catering written per mission at Corrientes airport
Menus at Corrientes are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a single fixed list, moving from a scheduled tray set to a full VIP flight menu on the same production line. Where local sourcing applies, produce drawn from the surrounding Argentine province — dairy, orchard fruit, river fish — sits alongside items built to a standing airline specification. Seasonal changes are scheduled into the cycle rather than left to chance, and every dietary set is filed before it is cooked. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and each tray is labelled to match that record before it leaves the kitchen.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Corrientes are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single set list. VIP flight catering here is filed and signed against the standing order for the aircraft, so the presentation matches what protocol expects on the next rotation as well as this one.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SARC take multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, 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 tray sets and passenger meal boxes for the main cabin.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Corrientes are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes recorded against each booking. That inflight catering is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it, keeping household, religious and medical requirements apart from the standard tray run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Corrientes
One runway and a narrow-body reference code set the traffic profile at Corrientes: scheduled, charter and occasional government movements, none of them the peak-wave volume of a hub, which makes documentation and repeat-rotation consistency the real workload rather than sheer throughput. Airline catering in Corrientes is planned against that pattern rather than against a queue.
The uplift moves from our flight kitchen to the stand by airside delivery, loaded by hi-loader to galley height so the cart reaches the aircraft without a handover at the foot of it. Airport catering in Corrientes is coordinated with ground handling on the apron, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed from a third party; aviation catering at CNQ and in-flight catering in Corrientes run off the same duty roster.
On every rotation we commit one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, the same discipline inflight catering in Argentina is built on at every station we serve.

“A short-notice movement brought us into Corrientes (CNQ/SARC), so we needed reliable urgent airline catering. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Julia — Network Control Coordinator
“Corrientes (CNQ/SARC) was an outstation for us, and we booked off-station catering for the sector. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. We would be comfortable using the service there again. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Aircraft catering questions at Corrientes airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Corrientes, Argentina
What operations gets asked every week about Corrientes.
Ask operations directly →What is the lead time for a first order at SARC, and how far in advance can the specification still change?
We work to a fixed cut-off ahead of departure and confirm any specification change against that same cut-off; last minute airline catering is handled case by case once the loading window is fixed.
Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Corrientes?
One coordinator handles every business aviation movement on the field, so FBO catering reaches the GA terminal and every FBO on it under the same booking.
Corrientes Airport — do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
The hi-loader lifts the sealed cart directly to galley height, so airline catering here is boarded on the aircraft rather than handed off at the foot of it, with airside delivery covering every stand.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at CNQ, and under what protocol?
Yes, with security-cleared staff and a documented chain of custody: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run to a written protocol filed per passenger.
