Aviation catering — Caxias Do Sul, Brazil
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Caxias Do Sul (SBCX / CXJ)
CXJ (IATA) · SBCX (ICAO)
One runway of 1,670 metres and a narrow-body reference code set what boards at Caxias Do Sul, and it is worked as scheduled, ad hoc and VIP uplift off a single desk. Inflight catering here moves by hi-loader to galley height, in-flight catering held under one seal from kitchen to stand, airside, on every rotation.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at SBCX / CXJ
Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the galley door closing on the stand, the sequence at Caxias Do Sul is fixed rather than guessed at. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the catering uplift crosses the apron without waiting on a shared gate pass. Every stage of that run, from seal to signature, is logged against the same rotation on the same sheet.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Caxias Do Sul sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is the risk we plan against, not the food itself. We route the catering uplift for the worst case on the ramp, not the average one, so a delay on the apron never becomes a delay at the galley door. The chain of custody runs on one named responsibility from seal to signature. Temperature is logged when the galley catering leaves the kitchen and again at handover, and the load is not signed off until both entries match the sheet.
One seal, one route, one signature: the convoy is the risk, never the food.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Caxias Do Sul
Airport catering at Caxias Do Sul runs from a production kitchen built to HACCP standard, with hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof rather than split across sites. That single-site build is what keeps airport catering here on one clock: the same kitchen sealing First-cabin trays also boards the crew meal boxes for the same rotation. The cold chain is held from that seal to the stand, with no intermediate transfer point on the way.
The team that handles government flight catering at Caxias Do Sul is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a sealed uplift is scheduled. Training runs to household service standards as well as to our own kitchen procedure, so the paperwork that travels with the load never has to be explained twice at handover.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Caxias Do Sul airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at CXJ
Menus at Caxias Do Sul are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for the season the rotation falls in. Brazil's produce enters the specification in general terms — dairy, orchard fruit, river and coastal fish — worked into a plated or tray-set format rather than named as a dish. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger and per cabin, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets filed against the same order as the standard tray. Nothing leaves the kitchen without that label matching the loading sheet.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Caxias Do Sul are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set course. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the operator, so a repeat rotation is served the same way each time it lands.

Business cabins
Business cabins at CXJ take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the fitted galley, not a generic box. Crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, and cabin crew meals travel on the same seal as the passenger load.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Caxias Do Sul, 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, ahead of the standard tray run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Caxias Do Sul, Brazil
One runway of 1,670 metres and a narrow-body reference code define the traffic Caxias Do Sul takes, which runs closer to scheduled and charter rotations than to wide-body long-haul waves. That profile keeps catering planning close to the airframe: a single stand assignment, one loading sequence, one hi-loader run rather than a bank of simultaneous wide-body turns. Airline catering and airport catering in Brazil both depend on that same discipline holding at every outstation, not only at the hub.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by a fixed route: sealed carts leave the kitchen, cross the apron under escort, and board by hi-loader to the galley door on the stand assigned that day. Aviation catering in Brazil is planned around exactly that kind of routing, and at Caxias Do Sul it is worked with our own crew on the ramp rather than handed off midway. Inflight catering at CXJ and in-flight catering in Brazil both move under the same seal from kitchen to aircraft.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts on every leg, and a signed handover at the galley door.

“For a government operation through Caxias Do Sul (CXJ/SBCX), we required discreet state visit aircraft catering. 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.”

Technical stop catering questions at Caxias Do Sul airport
What operations gets asked every week about Caxias Do Sul.
Ask operations directly →Which airside delivery method boards airline catering at CXJ?
Sealed carts leave our kitchen and board by hi-loader to galley height, so airline catering reaches the aircraft directly rather than being handed off at the foot of the stairs.
When is airline catering cost confirmed for a rotation at SBCX?
Once the cabin count, the specification and the loading window are set, our desk returns a quotation rather than working from a fixed price list, since each rotation is costed on its own uplift.
Whose lead time governs how far in advance an order is placed for Caxias Do Sul?
For a standard rotation the specification can still be adjusted close to departure, but a government, royal or last minute airline catering request is worked against the same kitchen slot and confirmed as soon as it is raised.
Where is the protocol record kept for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Caxias Do Sul Airport?
The protocol file travels with the load itself, documented per passenger and signed off at handover, so a delegation or a household movement is covered by the same paper trail as the sealed uplift.
Does CXJ produce halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes?
Every SPML code on the IATA list is produced on a separate line at Caxias Do Sul, including halal and kosher sets, and each tray is labelled per passenger before it joins the main load.
