Aviation catering — Curitiba, Brazil
Curitiba (SBCT / CWB): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
CWB (IATA) · SBCT (ICAO)
At a narrow-body reference field, the runway sets the aircraft mix and the ramp sets what a hi-loader can reach on every wide-body-capable rotation through Curitiba. Inflight catering here runs from a sealed kitchen to the galley door, in-flight catering staged by uplift order, so First, Business and main cabin board on one schedule.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Curitiba (CWB)
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at SBCT
Your catering uplift at CWB is built around ramp access, not around a drop point at the foot of the aircraft. The sealed cart leaves our kitchen, crosses the apron under escort and reaches the galley door by hi-loader, at cabin height, for boarding rather than handover. Every stage is timed against the same rotation, so the window is fixed before the aircraft is on stand.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Curitiba sit screening, an escort crossing and apron traffic that varies rotation to rotation. We plan the galley catering against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it, so the chain of custody holds even when the apron is busy.
Each cart is sealed at the kitchen, logged again at the galley door, and released only against a signature that closes the catering uplift on our own record. Nothing changes hands without that seal being checked first.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft: nothing moves unaccounted between them.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Curitiba (CWB)

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Curitiba airport
Airport catering at CWB is run from one kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under the same roof, with airport catering in Curitiba organised to move sealed tray sets out in the order stands are worked. The flight kitchen at CWB runs to HACCP standards across every line, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is sealed to the moment it clears the galley door.
The team behind catering at SBCT works to a security clearance held on file, named and rostered rather than picked rotation by rotation. They hold government flight catering paperwork ready before a movement is confirmed, and they are trained to the same household service standard whether the flight is scheduled, chartered or state. Nothing sealed for a protocol movement passes through a hand that is not on that list.
VIP flight catering menus for SBCT / CWB departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Curitiba (CWB)
Menus are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a VVIP movement through CWB draw on the same kitchen under different specifications. Inflight catering in Brazil leans on regional produce where the season allows it, described in general terms only, from dairy and orchard fruit to the fish landed along the southern coast. Every tray is labelled per passenger and per cabin against documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, filed before the cart is sealed. The same production line covers a full three-cabin uplift, not a reduced version of one, whatever the aircraft type on stand that day.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Curitiba are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed cycle, with à-la-carte service on request and the presentation filed against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is signed off before the cart leaves the kitchen, not checked once it is already on board.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SBCT run on multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the day's aircraft. Crew meals at Curitiba, cabin crew meals for the working crew and pilot meals for the flight deck are boxed separately and labelled to the roster before sealing.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Curitiba are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, kept apart from the general cabin run throughout.

Cold chain and HACCP for aircraft catering at SBCT / CWB
Airport catering delivered airside at CWB
With a 2218 m runway and a narrow-body reference code, Curitiba works a mix weighted toward scheduled and charter movements rather than long-haul wide-body traffic, which turns catering planning into a question of rotation frequency and turnaround speed rather than sheer cabin volume. A busy short-haul wave still needs every cart matched to its stand on time, and a delegation movement still needs its paperwork right before doors close.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by sealed cart from our kitchen, moved across the apron and boarded at the galley door rather than left at the foot of the steps. Ground handling on this field keeps the ramp routing fixed, and our own crew stays with the cart from seal to signature.
We commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts on every stand, and a signed handover that closes the loading record. Inflight catering, in-flight catering in Brazil and aviation catering at Curitiba all run off that same desk, and airport catering at Curitiba is planned stand by stand rather than guessed at in advance.

“Our sports movement through Curitiba (CWB/SBCT) required tour operator charter catering on a tight schedule. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. Very practical for team and group charter work. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Matteo — Freighter Station Supervisor
“We needed humanitarian flight catering at Curitiba (CWB/SBCT) for a time-sensitive operation. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. Strong support for a demanding operation. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Eduardo — Handling Manager
“For a cargo sector from Curitiba (CWB/SBCT), we arranged cargo airline crew catering for the operating crew. They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. We would use them again for another cargo sector. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Aircraft catering questions at Curitiba, Brazil
Crew meals, lead times and access at SBCT / CWB
What operations gets asked every week about Curitiba.
Ask operations directly →Does CWB take airline catering delivered airside, straight to the aircraft?
Every rotation is boarded by hi-loader to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with airside delivery held on our own ramp badges.
Who sets what airline catering costs at SBCT?
Across every quotation, the figure depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window agreed for that rotation, since no fixed price list is published; the desk comes back with a number once those are known.
At which point does Curitiba catering switch to VIP flight catering or government flight catering protocol?
The step that comes first is the protocol file itself: once a movement is flagged as VIP, VVIP or government flight catering, security clearance and sealed handling apply from the kitchen onward.
SBCT — are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced here?
The sealed cart that carries the general cabin run also carries halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes, produced on a separate line and documented per passenger.
How far in advance can private jet catering be arranged at CWB?
The clearance already held by our crews on this field lets an FBO catering order move on short notice, delivered to the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
