Aviation catering — Rincon de los Sauces, Argentina
Rincon de los Sauces (SAHS / RDS): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
RDS (IATA) · SAHS (ICAO)
At Rincon de los Sauces, a 1,500-metre runway sets a narrow-body reference code, and inflight catering here is planned around that single strip rather than assumed. AERO GOURMET runs in-flight catering off one ops desk, boarding the wide-body VIP charters this field does take by hi-loader to galley height, with every uplift staged airside from a kitchen close to the apron.

Aircraft catering lead times at Rincon de los Sauces (RDS)
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, SAHS
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart from our kitchen to the galley door at Rincon de los Sauces, and every catering uplift here is timed against that single run rather than against a general schedule. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the cart moves without waiting on a shared apron slot. The window closes when the last cart is signed for at the stand, not when the truck leaves the kitchen.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Rincon de los Sauces sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the catering uplift is planned against the worst of those three rather than the average. The narrow-body reference code held here keeps the ramp compact, which shortens the escort route but leaves less room to absorb a delay once the convoy is moving. Galley catering is sealed at the kitchen, logged again at the stand, and the handover carries a signature that closes the chain of custody on that specific cart.
The convoy is the risk we manage, not the food on it.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Rincon de los Sauces, Argentina

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Rincon de los Sauces (RDS)
With a single narrow-body reference code governing the ramp, the flight kitchen behind Rincon de los Sauces is built around one stand rather than a bank of gates, which keeps hot production, pastry, a cold larder and the protocol cell working to one rotation at a time. That layout runs to HACCP standard on every line, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray leaves the larder to the moment it is sealed. Airport catering at RDS depends on that discipline holding at the one stand this field offers, and airport catering at SAHS is planned around it rather than around a spare margin that a narrower field does not have.
With one runway setting the tempo of every rotation at Rincon de los Sauces, the team on government flight catering here is the same named crew each time rather than whoever is on shift. Security clearance is on file for each of them, they sit on the access list for the stand, and they are trained to household standards for a sealed uplift that leaves nothing to be checked twice on the ramp. Catering at RDS for this kind of movement is built on that continuity, not on a larger roster.
Halal airline meals and special meals at SAHS / RDS
VVIP catering to a written specification at Rincon de los Sauces (RDS)
Chef-designed menus at Rincon de los Sauces are built to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season, because a narrow-body rotation through this field carries a tighter galley than a long-haul wide-body would. Inflight catering here draws on the produce of the surrounding region — orchard fruit, dairy, river fish — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. The same tray standard carries from the first cabin through to the crew, adjusted only in format and count.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Rincon de los Sauces are plated to a written specification rather than to a running menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation is served to the same brief every time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at RDS run on multi-choice hot service, boxed to a galley-ready format sized to the aircraft actually on the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from the passenger tray sets and boarded to the same roster.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Rincon de los Sauces are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Food safety records for aviation catering at SAHS
Flight catering airside delivery at RDS
With a single 1,500-metre runway and one narrow-body reference code, Rincon de los Sauces works a compact traffic profile rather than a bank of parallel arrivals, so a delegation movement or a charter peak is handled as a scheduling problem on one stand rather than a capacity problem across several. Airline catering in Rincon de los Sauces is planned rotation by rotation for that reason, with the documentation for any VIP or government leg prepared before the aircraft is on the ground.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader, straight from our kitchen to the galley door, with our own loading crew on the ramp and airside delivery to the one stand this field offers. In-flight catering in Rincon de los Sauces and inflight catering at SAHS run off the same route every time, which is what keeps a narrow-body turnaround short. Aviation catering at RDS is staged before the aircraft blocks in, not after.
On every rotation at this station, one coordinator carries the loading sheet from kitchen to stand, the carts are sealed before they leave the kitchen, and the handover is signed at the aircraft; airport catering in Argentina is judged station by station, and this is the standard we hold at ours.

“For a government operation through Rincon de los Sauces (RDS/SAHS), we required discreet head of state aircraft catering. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

“For a VIP rotation through Rincon de los Sauces (RDS/SAHS), we used the team for VIP airliner catering. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
