Aviation catering — Reconquista, Argentina
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Reconquista (SATR / RCQ)
RCQ (IATA) · SATR (ICAO)
A wide-body aerodrome reference code at Reconquista means our crews board full-size aircraft with the same hi-loader method used on any long-haul stand, straight to galley height rather than to the tarmac beneath it. That capability underwrites inflight catering across scheduled, charter and government movements alike, with in-flight catering sealed and uplifted from our own kitchen to the aircraft door.

Inflight catering order window for SATR departures
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Reconquista
A wide-body reference code at Reconquista sets what ramp access we can hold on any given rotation, and the loading window is built around that ceiling rather than around a hope. Every catering uplift here starts sealed at the kitchen and ends signed at the galley door, with the apron crossing timed rather than assumed. Reconquista's two runways carry enough traffic that the window has to be planned, not improvised, on each stand we work.
Between our kitchen and the stand at SATR sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and none of the three is the part we leave to chance. Chain of custody runs from the seal placed on the cart through the escorted crossing to the signature taken at the galley, so no gap in that route is ever undocumented. Every catering uplift is logged at both ends, temperature read at sealing and again at handover, so the galley catering that boards at RCQ matches the record travelling with it.
One seal, one escort, one signature: the load never travels unaccounted for.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving Reconquista airport
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for RCQ
The flight kitchen at RCQ runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to serve a field rated to a wide-body reference code rather than a lighter one. Airport catering at Reconquista is planned from that single site, with tray sets, meal boxes and sealed carts staged ahead of the loading window rather than assembled against the clock. HACCP governs every stage of that production, and airport catering at SATR carries the same cold-chain discipline from the larder to the cart.
The team that handles government flight catering at Reconquista is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster assembled per booking. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, entry to the kitchen and the ramp runs off one access list, and household service standards are trained rather than assumed on the day. That same crew carries the paperwork for a sealed uplift through to the signature at the aircraft, so protocol and production never change hands mid-route.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Reconquista (RCQ)
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at SATR
Menus at Reconquista are written to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season: a First cabin service reads differently from a group charter tray, even when both leave the same kitchen on the same afternoon. Argentina's dairy, orchard fruit and river fish give the VIP flight menu and the charter flight menu a regional base, built in general terms rather than around any single dish. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets labelled and carried separately through to the cart. Nothing leaves the kitchen without that label matching the manifest it is boarded against.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Reconquista are plated to a written specification rather than to a general standard, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order filed for the rotation. VIP flight catering at SATR is checked against that filed order before it leaves the kitchen, not after.
Business cabins
Business cabins at RCQ run multi-choice hot service, built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the airframe rather than to a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals never share a cart with the passenger load at Reconquista.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at RCQ are documented per passenger rather than taken on trust at the door, covering household, religious and medical sets including halal and kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering of that kind is produced on a separate line at Reconquista and sealed before it joins the main load.

Flight catering airside delivery at SATR / RCQ
Reconquista carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways rated to a wide-body reference code, and that mix sets three different problems for the kitchen rather than one: a delegation is a documentation exercise, a charter wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat rotation is a repetition exercise that has to be solved the same way each time. Airline catering in Reconquista is planned against whichever of the three is on the board that day.
The uplift itself moves from our kitchen to the stand under airside delivery, sealed on the cart and escorted across the apron rather than handed off at a gate. In-flight catering at SATR and aviation catering in Argentina both run off the same route once the load clears the ramp, with the hi-loader taking it to galley height on the stand rather than to the foot of the aircraft.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator per rotation, carts sealed before departure from the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft door, so airport catering in Reconquista never changes hands undocumented.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at RCQ
01
Government and state flight catering at Reconquista
A head of state aircraft boards here on the same wide-body reference code that clears any scheduled widebody, which is what lets government flight catering at SATR move through one ramp process rather than a one built per visit. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen for delegations and state visits through Reconquista.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SATR
On a runway measuring 2800 metres, private airliners such as BBJ and ACJ types operate alongside scheduled wide-body traffic at Reconquista, which keeps royal flight catering on the same cleared ramp rather than a separate one. Household standards are held to a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against that same specification on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at RCQ
Staging a full three-cabin uplift against a single loading sheet is the constraint that a 2800 metre runway and a wide-body reference code at Reconquista impose on any group movement. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators and special missions, with charter flight catering in Argentina staged in the order the galleys are laid out on the airframe.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Reconquista
A wide-body reference code at Reconquista carries the ramp access that ad hoc airline catering depends on, since a diverted or delayed rotation needs the same stand clearance as a scheduled one. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at SATR
Two runways, one rated to a wide-body reference code, mean the same ramp access that boards a widebody also reaches the GA apron used by business aviation at Reconquista. Private jet catering in Reconquista is delivered by our dedicated branch to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our team used the service at Reconquista (RCQ/SATR) for presidential flight catering with strict timing and handling requirements. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. Reliable, discreet, and easy to work with. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Francesca — Flight Logistics Manager
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Reconquista (RCQ/SATR) and booked VIP airliner catering for the sector. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Jamal — Outstation Manager
“For a high-volume passenger flight at Reconquista (RCQ/SATR), we needed reliable pilgrim flight catering. The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Crew meals, lead times and access at Reconquista (RCQ)
What operations gets asked every week about Reconquista.
Ask operations directly →Do you know how much airline catering costs at RCQ?
Yes, cost is set per quotation once cabin count, specification and loading window are known, since we publish no standing price list.
Given the ramp access held on our own clearance, do you deliver airline catering airside at SATR?
There is a full airside delivery route from our kitchen to the stand, sealed on the cart and boarded to galley height by hi-loader rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
How do you deliver private jet catering around Reconquista?
Reconquista is served by our dedicated private-jet branch, which delivers FBO catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Reconquista Airport, and under what protocol?
A written specification governs every VIP flight catering and government flight catering movement here, with protocol documented per passenger and staff working to a security clearance held on file.
Which lead time do you need for an order through RCQ?
The sealed cart and its route to the stand set the working lead time; ask how far in advance to place a first order, and we still take last minute airline catering against the loading window where the specification allows it.
