Aviation catering — Araraquara, Brazil
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Araraquara (SBAQ / AQA)
AQA (IATA) · SBAQ (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code and a single 1,800-metre runway at Araraquara govern every rotation boarded here, and the ramp works to that discipline on each turn. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body-format uplift alike move by hi-loader to galley height, staged airside so the crew boards a sealed load rather than a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Araraquara (AQA)
Between the flight kitchen and the galley door at Araraquara, the catering uplift is planned as a sequence, not a promise: sealing, transfer, ramp access, boarding. Every stage is logged against the stand it serves, so a delay in one leg is visible before it reaches the apron. Ramp access, not distance, is what our crews plan around at this station.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Araraquara, the convoy is the risk we plan against, not the food: screening, escort and apron traffic all sit ahead of the galley door. We route the catering uplift to absorb the worst of that traffic rather than the best of it, and hold a spare margin on every rotation into SBAQ. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley, with temperature logged at both ends and the galley catering handed over against that same signed sheet.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley door, nothing else moves.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for SBAQ
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Araraquara, Brazil
Production at the flight kitchen behind Araraquara runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, holding the cold chain from the moment a tray is filled to the moment it clears the galley door. HACCP governs every stage of that run, so airport catering leaving this kitchen carries one documented standard rather than one per shift. Airport catering for SBAQ is staged from that single site, not split across contractors.
The team that handles government flight catering at Araraquara is the same named crew on every rotation into AQA: security clearance on file, on the access list, briefed to household service standards where a movement calls for them. Nobody outside that roster touches a sealed cart between the kitchen and the aircraft. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks first, and it is fixed here rather than assembled per flight.
Halal airline meals and special meals at AQA
VVIP catering to a written specification at SBAQ / AQA
Menus produced for Araraquara are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled sector and a charter departure do not share a plate. Local sourcing draws on the produce of this part of Brazil where the route allows it, with fruit, dairy and grains worked into the specification rather than a single dish. Inflight catering at SBAQ moves from First through Business into the main cabin without losing the household or protocol register a VVIP movement needs. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins departing Araraquara receive VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order for the next rotation through AQA, so a repeat movement is served to the same read.
Business cabins
Business cabins out of SBAQ take a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's galley, boxed as tray sets ready for immediate loading. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew are never served from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Araraquara are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering produced to those codes is finished on a separate line at AQA, kept apart from the main run until it boards.

Airport catering delivered airside at Araraquara airport
Araraquara's narrow-body reference code and single 1,800-metre runway set a station worked for scheduled and charter movements rather than continuous wide-body pressure, so a delegation or a peak departure wave is handled as a documentation and sequencing task ahead of a pure capacity one. Airline catering here is planned stand by stand rather than across parallel piers.
Uplift leaves our flight kitchen sealed, moves airside under escort and boards by the method the stand allows, with one coordinator on the ramp for the whole rotation rather than a handover between teams. Aviation catering and in-flight catering at Araraquara run off that same route regardless of the customer behind the booking, and inflight catering in Araraquara is logged against the stand it serves rather than a generic manifest.
What we commit to on this stand is one named coordinator, sealed carts from kitchen to galley, and a signed handover at the aircraft door.
Aviation catering for five mission types at Araraquara
01
Government and state flight catering at Araraquara
A narrow-body reference code at Araraquara means state movements are sequenced around one stand rather than assigned a dedicated pier, so timing and clearance carry the load capacity elsewhere provides. Government flight catering here documents the protocol file per passenger, with security-cleared staff and a head of state aircraft sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SBAQ
One runway of 1,800 metres, and that single length is what a household office checks before booking a private airliner into SBAQ. Royal flight catering here holds a written specification on file between movements for BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP traffic, with halal and other royal household requirements produced against it on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at AQA
We work Araraquara's narrow-body reference code as the frame for every group movement booked into it, staging a full three-cabin uplift against the loading sheet rather than a single-class load. Charter flight catering at AQA covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group and multi-leg movements, and special missions, and charter flight catering in Brazil routed through this station follows the same galley-by-galley staging.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Araraquara
With one runway and a narrow-body reference code, Araraquara is worked as a single-stand rotation rather than a multi-pier operation, and carriers running SBAQ as an outstation are handled inside that same sequence. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off one duty roster here, AOG included, across a multi-leg schedule; crew meals at Araraquara and crew meals at AQA are boxed separately against that same roster.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at SBAQ
The 1,800-metre runway at Araraquara admits the business aviation traffic that files into the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field alongside scheduled and charter movements. Private jet catering at AQA reaches those aprons on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run off the one kitchen.

“We needed state visit aircraft catering at Araraquara (AQA/SBAQ) for a protocol-sensitive flight. Communication was discreet, changes were handled calmly, and the delivery was coordinated exactly within the agreed window. A professional service for movements where discretion matters. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Giulia — VIP Charter Manager
“I handled the cabin order for a flight from Araraquara (AQA/SBAQ) and needed private airliner catering. The order was organized by service and passenger request, which saved us time before departure. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Rami — Trip Operations Manager
“We booked hajj flight catering at Araraquara (AQA/SBAQ) for a large group departure. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at AQA
Crew meals, lead times and access at AQA
What operations gets asked every week about Araraquara.
Ask operations directly →Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at SBAQ?
Yes, by routing the same sealed load to whichever FBO or the GA terminal is handling the movement, so FBO catering at Araraquara follows one paperwork trail rather than a separate one per handler.
How late can an order change for airline catering delivered airside in Araraquara?
The standard we hold is a sealed cart cleared for airside delivery up to the loading window agreed for that rotation; changes inside that window are worked against the same hi-loader slot rather than a new one.
Araraquara — how much does airline catering cost at this station?
The hi-loader and the cart it carries set the baseline; airline catering cost then follows cabin count, specification and the loading window booked, and the desk returns a quotation against those three rather than a published rate.
AQA — do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
There is a named, security-cleared crew held for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at this station, working to a documented protocol file per passenger and per movement.
Can halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes be produced at SBAQ, and how are they documented?
Halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are produced on a separate line at this station and labelled per passenger before the cart is sealed, so special meals travel with their own signed record.
