Aviation catering — Araxá, Brazil
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Araxá (SBAX / AAX)
AAX (IATA) · SBAX (ICAO)
The narrow-body reference code held at Araxá sets the frame our crews load to: single-aisle rotations, one runway, one loading sequence repeated to a fixed standard. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding to galley height from a kitchen positioned for the uplift this stand actually takes, wide-body volume left to stations built for it.

Catering uplift timing at SBAX / AAX
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Araxá (AAX)
The window we hold at Araxá runs from the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the signature at the galley door, and every stage of it is timed rather than guessed at. Ramp access on this apron is arranged against the flight number, not a standing pass, which keeps the convoy moving on the same clock as pushback. Because the runway takes narrow-body traffic only, the loading sequence is short and repeated, and that repetition is what keeps the uplift on schedule.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Araxá sit screening, an escort and whatever else is moving on the apron that hour, and the catering uplift is planned against the worst of those, not the average. A ramp handler this size means fewer aircraft compete for the same minutes, so the galley catering run is rarely delayed by anything other than the flight itself. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the chain of custody closes with a signature at the galley, not at the foot of the steps.
The convoy is the risk on this ramp, never the food inside it.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for AAX
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Araxá, Brazil
The flight kitchen behind AAX carries hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, sized to a single narrow-body stand rather than a wide-body bank. Airport catering built to that scale means shorter runs between sections and fewer handoffs before a tray set reaches the cart. Every line answers to HACCP, and airport catering here is planned on the same rotation the runway itself is built for.
The team behind government flight catering at Araxá is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for the day. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for this stand, and is trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift travels with. Catering at AAX for a protocol movement follows that same file every time, whatever the aircraft type on the apron that day.
VIP flight catering menus for AAX departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at SBAX / AAX
AERO GOURMET writes its menus to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusting portioning and format to whatever is boarding at Araxá that week. Brazilian produce runs through the specification where the season allows it: dairy, orchard fruit, coffee, river fish, worked into a tray set rather than a plate description. Inflight catering here is written down before it is cooked, filed against the standing order and checked against it at sealing. Every set carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical codes, labelled per passenger and per cabin so nothing is left to a verbal note on the ramp.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at SBAX are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than assumed by default. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order before it boards, so the presentation matches what was agreed, not what was improvised that morning.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Araxá run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on this narrow-body frame, tray sets and meal boxes staged in loading order. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and labelled to the roster, so the loading crew never has to sort them on the ramp.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at AAX are documented per passenger rather than left to a verbal note, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line before sealing. Inflight catering here covers the full range of IATA special meal codes, each one traceable back to the passenger it was written for.

Flight catering airside delivery at Araxá airport
Araxá carries scheduled and charter traffic on a single narrow-body runway, which means the traffic profile here is a repetition problem more than a volume one: the same turn pattern most days, worked to a fixed uplift standard rather than a variable one. That repetition is what our crews plan the kitchen around, because a stand that sees the same rotation twice a day rewards a tight, repeatable loading sequence far more than it rewards spare capacity.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand under airside delivery, sealed at departure and escorted across the apron by the loading crew assigned to that rotation, with airline catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering run off the one ops desk that covers this field. Airport catering at Araxá is planned stand by stand rather than by terminal, because the field has only the one to plan against.
One coordinator holds the file for each rotation, the carts are sealed before they leave the kitchen, and the handover at the galley door closes on a signature, not a phone call.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at SBAX / AAX
01
Government and state flight catering at Araxá
A head of state aircraft on a narrow-body frame boards here on the same single stand as any scheduled turn, which keeps the protocol movement off a separate apron rather than a dedicated one. Government flight catering at Araxá for a state visit or an official delegation is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and sealed at the kitchen before it ever reaches the ramp.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SBAX
On the ramp at Araxá, the 1900 metre runway sets the aircraft types this field boards, private airliners among them: BBJ, ACJ and other wide-body VIP configurations worked to a household specification kept on file between movements. Royal flight catering here follows that same file every rotation, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assumed.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at AAX
A single narrow-body stand forces every charter movement onto the same loading sequence, which is the constraint our crews plan a group rotation around rather than around aircraft type. Charter flight catering in Araxá for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering at AAX is staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Araxá
The narrow-body reference code held at Araxá governs a single loading sequence, and that sequence is what lets carriers run this station as an outstation without a plan each time. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all move off the same duty roster here, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals at Araxá boxed to the same roster and ad hoc catering at AAX confirmed before the truck leaves the kitchen.

Private jet and FBO catering at SBAX
The runway here measures 1900 metres, which keeps this field within reach of most business jet types using the GA terminal and the FBOs on site. Private jet catering at AAX reaches both, delivered on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, through our dedicated business aviation catering branch and its own business jet catering and FBO catering routing.

“Our ops team used the service at Araxá (AAX/SBAX) as an airline catering partner. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. It made the station much easier to manage. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Alberto — Flight Support Executive
“Our team needed VIP flight catering in Araxá for a short-notice flight at AAX/SBAX. Everything arrived fresh, well presented, and easy for the cabin crew to organize before boarding. I would use them again for another flight from Araxá. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Yara — Delegation Travel Coordinator
“For our flight from Araxá (AAX/SBAX), the cabin order included multiple special meal codes. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. A good experience with complex dietary requests. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Inflight catering questions at AAX
Crew meals, lead times and access at AAX
What operations gets asked every week about Araxá.
Ask operations directly →What happens when airline catering has to reach the aircraft airside at Araxá?
We deliver airside by hi-loader to galley height, with the cart sealed at our kitchen and escorted across the apron to the stand.
Does the order window at Araxá allow a late change to the specification?
Every rotation carries its own lead time, agreed when the order is confirmed, and how far in advance a change can still be made depends on where the load sits in that window; last minute airline catering is handled case by case rather than refused outright.
Are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for flights through AAX?
The coordinator on file for each rotation documents halal, kosher and every SPML code per passenger, with those special meals produced on a separate line before sealing.
Where does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at SBAX?
The delivery record for each load shows the FBO catering routed to whichever operator on the field the rotation calls for, on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
When is VIP, VVIP or government flight catering handled at Araxá under protocol?
Once a movement is confirmed as a state, royal or VVIP flight, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both switch to the cleared-staff protocol, documented per passenger from sealing to handover.
