From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Belo Horizonte, Brazil
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Belo Horizonte (SBCF / CNF)
CNF (IATA) · SBCF (ICAO)
A single wide-body reference code at Belo Horizonte governs how a rotation is planned, because the stand that takes a wide-body has to be sequenced ahead of every ad hoc uplift sharing it, from scheduled service through to a diverted charter needing inflight catering on short notice. AERO GOURMET provides in-flight catering and inflight catering at Belo Horizonte (SBCF/CNF) with hi-loader boarding straight to galley height on the wide-body stand, sealed uplift carried airside from our kitchen to the aircraft.

Wide-body inflight catering at SBCF / CNF
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at SBCF
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Belo Horizonte
The loading window at Belo Horizonte starts when the cart is sealed at our kitchen and ends at the signature on the galley door, with ramp access held on our own clearance rather than a stand-side handover. Every catering uplift moves under the same sequence regardless of cabin count, because the wide-body stand at Belo Horizonte only takes one convoy at a time. That single lane is what the window actually measures, not a distance.
Between the kitchen and the wide-body stand at Belo Horizonte, screening, escort and apron traffic sit ahead of every catering uplift, and we plan the convoy against the worst version of that queue rather than the average one. Chain of custody runs on one sealed cart per rotation, checked at departure from the kitchen and again at the galley catering handover, so a delay never means an unaccounted gap in the record. The signature that closes the load at SBCF ties the temperature log, the seal number and the loading time to one named coordinator, which is what a protocol desk actually audits after the aircraft has pushed back. Nothing on that chain is left to whoever happens to be on the ramp that day; the same procedure runs whether the movement is a scheduled wide-body rotation or an unscheduled technical stop.
One sealed cart, one coordinator, from kitchen seal to the signature at the aircraft.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving Belo Horizonte (CNF)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for CNF
The flight kitchen behind Belo Horizonte runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, built to feed the wide-body cabins this station is rated to take. Every line runs to HACCP, which is the standard a procurement desk checks before it will even quote a rotation through airport catering at SBCF. Airport catering at CNF and, more broadly, airport catering in Brazil both draw on the same production floor, so a scheduled service and an ad hoc charter are cooked to the same specification rather than two different ones.
The people who handle government flight catering at this kitchen are the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for the day. Each of them carries security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a cart is ever loaded, trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects rather than to a general catering brief. That continuity is what lets a protocol officer sign off a movement without re-vetting the crew each time it lands.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Belo Horizonte (CNF)
VVIP catering to a written specification at SBCF
The airline catering menu at Belo Horizonte is written to the cabin first, then to the mission: a scheduled rotation reads differently from a state visit or a wet-lease charter, and the specification changes accordingly rather than staying fixed. Produce drawn from the surrounding region of Brazil moves through the menu in general terms — dairy, fruit, coffee — rather than as a named dish, kept seasonal where the calendar allows it. Inflight catering here is documented at passenger level: allergen sets, halal and kosher requirements and medical diets are labelled per seat and per cabin before the cart is sealed. Nothing leaves the kitchen without that label attached, which is what lets a mixed cabin board without a query at the door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Belo Horizonte are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with à-la-carte service available on request for VIP flight catering movements. The same standard applies whether the rotation departs CNF on a scheduled service or a state movement, and VIP flight catering in Brazil follows one specification file, not a seasonal one rewritten per flight.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SBCF run on multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted to the aircraft, delivered in oven-ready tray sets rather than a plated line. Crew meals in Brazil and crew meals at SBCF are boxed to the roster alongside cabin crew meals and pilot meals, so the flight deck and the cabin are catered from the same schedule as the passengers.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Belo Horizonte are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering household, religious and medical needs on a single record that travels with the uplift. Halal and kosher sets, together with the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line at CNF, and inflight catering in Brazil carries the same documentation standard from kitchen to cabin.

Flight catering airside delivery at SBCF / CNF
Belo Horizonte handles scheduled, charter and government traffic across a wide-body reference code with a single runway, which means every catering movement is sequenced against one ramp rather than spread across parallel infrastructure. A delegation moving through SBCF is a documentation exercise before it is a volume one, while a peak wave of scheduled departures tests capacity on the same stand a charter or a diverted wide-body might also need that day.
The uplift here travels from our own kitchen to the wide-body stand under ground handling coordinated on the apron, moved by hi-loader rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft, with ramp access held on our own clearance for the length of the load. Aviation catering at CNF and airline catering in Brazil both route through that same sequence, and inflight catering at SBCF, in-flight catering at CNF and airport catering at CNF are planned stand by stand rather than as a single fixed schedule.
One coordinator carries the movement from the kitchen seal to the signed handover at the aircraft, whatever the segment behind it.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at CNF
01
Government and state flight catering at Belo Horizonte
Our kitchen at SBCF runs the same production line for a scheduled wide-body departure as it does for a head of state movement, which is what lets government flight catering here move without a separate build. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff carry security clearance on file, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen for the stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SBCF
A 3600 metre runway at Belo Horizonte takes the private airliners a royal or VVIP movement typically uses, from a BBJ or ACJ configuration through to a wide-body VIP conversion. Royal flight catering here runs from a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than improvised on the day.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at CNF
A wide-body operating a group movement or a wet-lease rotation is what the reference code at Belo Horizonte is built to take, and that capacity is what makes charter flight catering practical at scale rather than as an exception. Charter flight catering at Belo Horizonte covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, sports and tour-operator movements, repatriation and humanitarian missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged to the galley layout; charter flight catering in Brazil and charter flight catering at CNF both run to that same count.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Belo Horizonte
A wide-body reference code with a single runway means every ad hoc airline catering uplift at Belo Horizonte shares one stand rather than a choice of several, so outstation catering has to be sequenced against whatever else is on the ramp that hour. Diversion catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty roster as scheduled work, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, and ad hoc airline catering at Belo Horizonte, crew meals at CNF, outstation catering in Brazil, crew meals at Belo Horizonte and ad hoc catering at CNF all draw on that one kitchen.

Private jet and FBO catering at SBCF
Alongside the wide-body stand, the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal at Belo Horizonte are worked by our dedicated branch on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift. Private jet catering here, including FBO catering and business aviation catering delivered as business jet catering, follows the same sealed handover, and private jet catering in Brazil runs from that one kitchen.

“For a government operation through Belo Horizonte (CNF/SBCF), we required discreet presidential flight catering. 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
Elias — Ground Operations Manager
“We ordered private airliner catering for our aircraft at Belo Horizonte (CNF/SBCF) and the result was very good. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. Exactly the level of detail we expect for VIP flying. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Sophie — VIP Operations Controller
“Our charter program used the service at Belo Horizonte (CNF/SBCF) for hajj charter catering. Packaging was practical for the cabin and the uplift arrived in good order for departure. A dependable choice for group charter operations. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at Belo Horizonte (CNF)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Belo Horizonte (CNF)
What operations gets asked every week about Belo Horizonte.
Ask operations directly →At what point does Belo Horizonte need the order placed, and how late can the specification change?
The kitchen build starts once cabin counts and the loading window are confirmed, and the lead time works back from that wide-body stand slot; last minute airline catering changes are taken up to the sealing step, after which the cart is locked for the loading window.
Where does airline catering cost get set for a rotation through Belo Horizonte Airport?
The quotation is built from the specification file — cabin count, tray format and the loading window booked on the stand — so airline catering cost is confirmed against that record rather than a published rate card, and the desk returns a figure once it has been checked.
Are VIP flight catering and government flight catering handled at CNF, and under what protocol?
The named coordinator on duty runs both, working from a documented protocol file per passenger with security clearance on record for every crew member on the load; government flight catering and VIP flight catering follow the same sealed-cart procedure as a scheduled rotation.
Does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at SBCF?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself are served from the same kitchen as the airline side, with FBO catering delivered on the same cold chain and paperwork as a wide-body uplift.
Who documents halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes for flights through Belo Horizonte?
Across every cabin and every segment, halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes are produced on a separate line and labelled per passenger before the cart is sealed.
