Aviation catering — Alta Floresta, Brazil
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Alta Floresta (SBAT / AFL)
AFL (IATA) · SBAT (ICAO)
Alta Floresta holds a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which sets the loading plan before a single tray is packed: cabin doors, hi-loader height and galley position are worked out against that classification, not against the schedule. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off that plan, boarding wide-body aircraft airside with hi-loader uplift straight to the galley rather than a handoff at the foot of the stand.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at SBAT / AFL
Every uplift at Alta Floresta is planned as a sealed movement from our kitchen to the galley door, not as a delivery to the ramp and back. Ramp access is booked against the stand, and the apron crossing is timed to the minute the hi-loader is cleared to approach. This is where the catering uplift at SBAT is actually decided, well before the cart reaches the aircraft.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Alta Floresta sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and the convoy is the part of the catering uplift that carries the real risk, not the food inside it. We plan the route against the worst case on the apron that day, with an escort booked ahead of the aircraft's arrival rather than after it.
Temperature is logged when the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, so the chain of custody runs unbroken from seal to signature. The record that closes the load is the same one an inspector or a protocol officer would ask to see.
One seal, one signature, one route: the convoy is the risk we plan for.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Alta Floresta (AFL)

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at SBAT / AFL
Airport catering at Alta Floresta runs from one flight kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to seal. That structure is what lets airport catering here move from delivery note to sealed tray set without a break in the cold chain. The same kitchen provisions inflight catering in Brazil beyond this one rotation, but every batch leaving it for Alta Floresta is tracked against this station's own loading plan.
The named team that handles government flight catering at Alta Floresta works every rotation together, with security clearance on file and a place on the access list held between movements. They are trained to the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift as much as to the standard the household service itself demands. No rotation here is worked by an unlisted face.
VIP flight catering menus for SBAT departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Alta Floresta
Menus at Alta Floresta are written to the cabin and to the mission first, and only then to the season, so a delegation rotation and a scheduled sector never draw on the same specification. Produce drawn from the surrounding Brazilian region — fruit, dairy, river fish — is worked into the main-deck and premium sets where the calendar allows it, without naming a single dish on the sheet that travels with the tray. Inflight catering at SBAT is planned from a written menu cycle, not from memory, so a repeat rotation gets the same result twice. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Alta Floresta are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat movement is served to the same standard without renegotiating it each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at AFL run on multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft's own galley fittings. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so the flight deck set never shares a tray with the cabin service.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Alta Floresta, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Each set for inflight catering here is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, so a dietary tray never shares a bench with the standard service.

Inflight catering delivered to the stand at Alta Floresta (AFL)
Alta Floresta carries traffic worked from a single wide-body-rated runway, which means every rotation here is scheduled rather than opportunistic: a delegation movement is planned as a documentation task well before it is a kitchen task. That single-runway constraint is also why the loading plan for each stand is fixed before the aircraft calls in, not adjusted once it is on the ground.
Uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand under escort, sealed at departure and logged again at handover, with the loading crew working to the same hi-loader sequence on every rotation. Airline catering in Brazil runs this way at every field we hold, and airport catering at Alta Floresta is planned stand by stand rather than gate by gate, because there is only the one to plan against.
Aviation catering at Alta Floresta commits to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts and a signed handover, whatever the mission behind the call sign; inflight catering and in-flight catering both answer to that same single desk.

“We arranged royal flight catering at Alta Floresta (AFL/SBAT) for a sensitive movement. Special meals and crew items were clearly separated, and the aircraft-side handover was smooth. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Edgar — Ad Hoc Operations Manager
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Alta Floresta (AFL/SBAT) and booked wide body VIP aircraft catering for the sector. The portions, packaging, and labeling worked well for the cabin, and the timing was spot on. 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
Dario — OCC Coordinator
“Our charter program used the service at Alta Floresta (AFL/SBAT) for hajj charter catering. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. A dependable choice for group charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

What operations gets asked every week about Alta Floresta.
Ask operations directly →Does Alta Floresta get private jet catering out to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal at Alta Floresta receive FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with no distinction made by aircraft size.
Whose halal, kosher and special meal codes are produced at Alta Floresta Airport, and how are they documented?
Across every cabin and every rotation, halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes are logged per passenger and produced on a dedicated line before sealing.
Where does the cost of airline catering at AFL actually come from, since there is no published price list?
The quotation on file is built from cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window requested, and our desk returns a figure against those three before any rotation is confirmed.
Is VIP, VVIP and government flight catering handled at SBAT, and under what protocol?
The same named coordinator who runs a scheduled rotation also runs VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, working from a protocol file documented per passenger and sealed staff clearance.
At what point does an order for Alta Floresta need to be placed, and how late can the specification still change?
The kitchen slot is booked first, against the loading window requested, and the meal specification itself can be revised later in the cycle without moving that slot.
When is airline catering at Alta Floresta Airport delivered airside, and how does the uplift actually reach the aircraft?
Once ground clearance is granted, the sealed cart moves by hi-loader straight to the galley door, with airside delivery timed to the stand rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.
