Aviation catering — Criciúma, Brazil
Criciúma (SSIM / CCM): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
CCM (IATA) · SSIM (ICAO)
At Criciúma, a 1488 m runway sets a narrow-body reference code, and inflight catering here is built around that ceiling rather than around wide-body volume. Every uplift moves by hi-loader to galley height across the apron, so in-flight catering and the aviation catering programme behind it are staged for one aircraft class at a time, without slowing the turnaround.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, CCM
Ramp access at Criciúma decides how the loading window is built, not the other way round: our crews cross the apron to the stand under one escort routine, on badges cleared for this field. Every catering uplift here is timed from the sealed cart leaving the kitchen to the moment it is locked at the galley door. That sequence is the same whether the flight is scheduled, charter or a government movement through SSIM.

Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and its arrival at the stand, the real variable at Criciúma is the convoy itself, not the food: screening, escort timing and apron traffic decide whether the galley catering reaches the aircraft on schedule. We plan every catering uplift against the slower end of that range rather than the faster one, so the schedule holds even on a busy rotation.
A temperature log opens when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and closes again at handover on the stand, with both readings kept against the same reference. The chain of custody runs on that pair of readings and on the seal number checked at each end. A signature at the galley closes the record for that rotation.
One seal, one convoy, one signature: the load is accountable end to end.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for SSIM
Behind Criciúma, our production kitchen runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, built to feed a narrow-body rotation without slowing for it. HACCP governs every stage from intake to the sealed cart, and the same standard applies whether the load is a scheduled sector or a government movement. Airport catering at SSIM and airport catering at CCM both draw on that single flight kitchen at CCM, rather than on a network of subcontracted lines.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Criciúma is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from the wider kitchen floor. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on the access list for the airside route, and they are trained to royal household standards as well as to state protocol. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, ahead of anything on the tray.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Criciúma, Brazil
VVIP catering written per mission at Criciúma airport
Menus at Criciúma are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a single fixed cycle: a state movement, a charter rotation and a scheduled sector each draw a different specification from the same kitchen. Where produce is sourced locally, dairy, fish and orchard fruit from the surrounding region sit alongside the standing tray set, adjusted with the season rather than fixed year round. Inflight catering at CCM is built to change week to week while the specification underneath it stays constant. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, and travel sealed with the load they belong to.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Criciúma are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed weekly menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for a state or charter movement. The presentation itself is filed against that standing order, so a repeat rotation through SSIM sees the same result each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at CCM run a multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to that specification. Crew meals travel alongside the passenger load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately to the roster rather than pulled from the same tray run.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Criciúma are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside the IATA special meal codes. Halal and kosher trays are produced on a separate line from the main cabin run, and inflight catering here keeps that line sealed until it leaves the kitchen.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Criciúma
Criciúma runs a narrow-body traffic profile off its single 1488 m runway, which makes catering here a repetition problem more than a capacity one: the same reference code, the same stand pattern and the same turnaround window recur rotation after rotation. That regularity is what lets a scheduled carrier or a government movement plan a load with confidence at this field.
Every uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and crosses the apron under ground handling coordinated with the ramp, moving by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft. Airside delivery follows that same route on every rotation, so airline catering at Criciúma and inflight catering at Criciúma both run off one fixed sequence rather than a case-by-case plan.
Aviation catering in Brazil at a field this size still commits to a single coordinator per rotation, sealed carts and a signed handover at the stand, so airport catering at SSIM and in-flight catering at SSIM carry the same accountability as at a larger station.

“I asked for galley ready meals at Criciúma (CCM/SSIM) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Lucia — Mission Operations Manager
“For a changing schedule at Criciúma (CCM/SSIM), we needed flexible outstation. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Does CCM handle VIP flight catering and government flight catering under a fixed protocol?
Every state or household movement through CCM runs on a documented protocol file, with VIP flight catering and government flight catering handled by the same security-cleared crew named on the access list.
How far in advance does SSIM need an airline catering order, and how late can it change?
The lead time we hold at SSIM rests on the kitchen's own clearance schedule, and we take how far in advance a standing order is placed as the baseline for any last minute airline catering change to the specification.
