Aviation catering — Pehuajó, Argentina
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Pehuajó (SAZP / PEH)
PEH (IATA) · SAZP (ICAO)
Inside Pehuajó, a single 1500 m runway sets a narrow-body ceiling on what taxis to the ramp, so inflight catering here is planned around a stand rather than a terminal. Across that stand, wide-body volumes are unnecessary: crews board direct by hi-loader or ramp step, and in-flight catering moves straight from the sealed cart to the galley door.

Across the apron at Pehuajó, ramp access is held on our own passes rather than shared with a general queue, which keeps the sealed cart moving on a schedule we control end to end. That control is what turns a catering uplift into a measured event rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the apron, logged again at the galley door. Nothing about the sequence changes whether the rotation is scheduled, charter or government.

Between our kitchen and the single stand at Pehuajó sit screening, an escort and whatever apron traffic is moving that hour, and every catering uplift is planned against the worst of those three rather than the average. Chain of custody starts the moment the cart is sealed: a temperature log opens there and closes again only once the galley catering has been signed for at the aircraft. Nothing on that run is handed off unescorted, and nothing is logged only once.
One seal, one escort, one signature: the load never leaves our custody.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Pehuajó
Pehuajó is provisioned from a production kitchen built to run under one roof: hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line, so a single narrow-body rotation never has to wait on more than one process at a time. HACCP governs every one of those lines, logged the same way whether the flight is a scheduled service or a one-off charter through SAZP. That single-roof layout is what airport catering here is built on, and it is why airport catering at Pehuajó does not slow down when a specification changes late.
The team behind government flight catering at Pehuajó is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for the day. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, each name is on the access list before the cart is sealed, and each has trained against the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it does not change between a routine departure and a state one.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Pehuajó airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at PEH
Menus at Pehuajó are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a fixed rotation, so the same kitchen that plates a scheduled departure can turn a household specification the same afternoon. Argentina's own produce carries the base of the work — dairy, orchard fruit, river fish where the season allows it — worked into a set that a crew recognises rotation after rotation. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger before it is sealed: allergen sets, halal and kosher requirements, and any medical restriction on file against the booking. Nothing leaves the kitchen without that documentation attached to the tray.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Pehuajó are plated to a written specification rather than a standing menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request and filed against the order before it is sealed. VIP flight catering here follows the same protocol whether the mission is a single leg or a multi-leg rotation.

Business cabins
Business cabins out of SAZP run a multi-choice hot service, boxed to oven-ready formats sized to whichever galley is fitted that day. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately in Pehuajó to the roster supplied with the booking, tray sets and meal boxes staged in loading order.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Pehuajó, from halal and kosher sets to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a dedicated line and sealed there, before it joins the rest of the uplift.

HACCP and sealed transfer for aircraft catering at PEH
Flight catering airside delivery at Pehuajó, Argentina
One narrow-body runway of 1500 m sets the traffic profile at Pehuajó: single movements rather than banked waves, which turns each catering job into a discrete event planned on its own rather than absorbed into a rush. A government or charter movement through here is a documentation exercise first, a volume one second, and the kitchen schedules around that order rather than the reverse.
Uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the one working stand, sealed before it leaves and escorted the whole way across the apron. Airside delivery is staged to the loading order the crew calls, and ramp access is held on our own passes rather than shared with general traffic — the same sequence whether the aircraft is a scheduled service, a charter or a diplomatic movement. Airline catering, aviation catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering at SAZP all run off that one route and one desk, so nothing about the method changes between segments.
One coordinator carries the file from seal to signature, and nothing is handed off without both.

Business jet catering questions at Pehuajó airport
Crew meals, lead times and access at Pehuajó airport
What operations gets asked every week about Pehuajó.
Ask operations directly →How far in advance does an order need to be placed at PEH, and how late can the specification still change?
There is a standing lead time for a first order, and it shortens for a repeat rotation once the specification is on file; last-minute airline catering changes are handled up to the point the cart is sealed.
Does SAZP take airline catering delivered airside, straight onto the aircraft?
Every uplift here goes airside, escorted across the single stand from our sealed cart to the galley door rather than handed off at the foot of the ramp; where the aircraft type allows it, hi-loader access takes the cart to galley height directly.
Whose numbers decide what airline catering costs at Pehuajó?
For every quotation the cabin count, the specification and the loading window decide the figure, since no price list is published; the desk comes back with a number once those three are known.
Pehuajó Airport — are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced here, and how are they documented?
The cart that leaves our dedicated line carries halal, kosher and the full range of SPML sets labelled per passenger, sealed before it joins the rest of the uplift.
At what point does VIP, VVIP or government flight catering at PEH switch to protocol handling?
Screening and clearance of the assigned crew happens first, before the file is opened, and government flight catering then runs on that same cleared file through to signature at the aircraft.
