Imperatriz (SBIZ / IMP): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
IMP (IATA) · SBIZ (ICAO)
With a 1798 m runway serving narrow-body operators, Imperatriz supports scheduled and charter movements that our flight kitchen provisions as galley-ready uplift. For inflight catering at this reference code, hi-loader boarding is not always the fit; ramp trucks reach the wide-body-rated stand where required, and our crews stage carts to the exact door height a given aircraft needs. In-flight catering here runs on one ops desk, day and night, from a kitchen built around this airport's own traffic and turnaround rhythm.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Imperatriz
Loading at Imperatriz is sequenced, not guessed: the cart leaves our kitchen sealed, clears ramp access at a fixed point, and reaches the aircraft against a written checklist rather than a verbal handoff. Every catering uplift is logged the moment it leaves the kitchen door, and again the moment it is signed for on the apron, so the loading window is a record, not an estimate. That record is what lets a duty manager plan the next rotation instead of chasing the current one.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Imperatriz sit screening, an escort through the apron traffic, and the final check at the aircraft steps; we plan each catering uplift against the busiest version of that route rather than the easiest one. Chain of custody is unbroken from seal to signature: every cart is sealed at the kitchen, logged at the checkpoint, and opened only at the galley, with nothing handled loose in between. Galley catering is handed over against a signature naming the crew member who received it, which closes the record for that rotation and opens the next one clean.
One seal, one signature, one record from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Imperatriz airport
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for IMP
IMP handles airport catering built around a narrow-body traffic pattern rather than a wide-body one, which sets the pace of our production line and the size of each batch leaving the kitchen. Hot production, a cold larder and a protocol cell run under one roof, all held to a written HACCP standard rather than to a verbal routine, so the cold chain is unbroken from preparation to the sealed cart. Airport catering at Imperatriz is scheduled against the rotation it serves, not against a fixed daily run, which keeps the kitchen matched to what actually lands.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and the kitchen, and is trained to the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That consistency is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is fixed here rather than assembled per movement.
VIP flight catering menus for Imperatriz (IMP) departures
VVIP catering written per mission at SBIZ
Menus at Imperatriz are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed offer, moving between a scheduled turnaround, a charter rotation and a VVIP movement without changing the standard behind them. Sourcing draws on the country's own produce where the season allows it — river fish, tropical fruit, dairy from the wider region — set inside a specification built for the cabin it serves. Every inflight catering tray at Imperatriz carries documentation for allergens, halal and kosher requirements and medical diets, labelled per passenger rather than per batch. That labelling is what lets a crew serve with confidence instead of asking twice.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Imperatriz are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and tray options held to the same protocol file for every rotation. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeatable, not improvised at the door.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SBIZ run a multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets, sized to the door height and the aircraft actually on stand. Crew meals at IMP are boxed separately from the passenger load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept on distinct manifests.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Imperatriz are documented per passenger rather than assumed, covering halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, this inflight catering set travels with its own paperwork through to the galley.

Flight catering airside delivery at SBIZ / IMP
Imperatriz is worked as a narrow-body station, which sets the terms for every catering plan built here: a scheduled rotation is a repetition problem, a diversion is a documentation problem, and a delegation movement is both at once. The 1798 m runway and the single stand configuration mean loading is planned around one aircraft at a time rather than a bank of simultaneous wide-bodies, which keeps the sequence tight and the margin for error small.
The uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the stand, sealed at departure and opened only at the aircraft, with our own crew handling the ramp leg rather than passing it to a third party partway through. Airline catering at Imperatriz runs off that same route on every rotation, whether the aircraft is scheduled, chartered or diverted in unexpectedly.
One coordinator holds the file for a given movement from booking to signature, so aviation catering at IMP, in-flight catering in Brazil and airport catering at SBIZ answer to a single point of contact rather than a shifting one, and inflight catering at SBIZ is closed out with a signed handover every time.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at IMP
01
Government and state flight catering at Imperatriz
The single narrow-body stand at this station means a government movement is worked without competing traffic on the ramp, which simplifies the access control around it. Government flight catering at SBIZ for state visits and official delegations is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and sealed before the head of state aircraft is called to the stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Imperatriz
Our kitchen treats the narrow-body reference code held at this field as the baseline for every private airliner movement it plans for, sizing carts and tray counts to what that class of aircraft actually takes. Royal flight catering at IMP for BBJ, ACJ and other private airliners is held to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and royal household requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at SBIZ
The narrow-body reference code at Imperatriz governs every charter rotation staged here, fixing the aircraft size the loading sheet is built against before the first cart is packed. Charter flight catering in Brazil, and specifically charter flight catering at Imperatriz, covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and multi-leg special missions with a full cabin uplift counted against that sheet stand-side.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Imperatriz
A 1798 m runway sets a hard limit on which aircraft rotate through Imperatriz, and that limit is what our loading plan is built around rather than a generic wide-body assumption. Ad hoc airline catering at IMP covers carriers running this station as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering worked off the same duty roster across a multi-leg day, crew meals in Imperatriz included on every manifest.

Private jet and FBO catering at Imperatriz
Business aircraft using the same narrow-body-rated stand as scheduled traffic at Imperatriz are provisioned by our dedicated private jet catering branch, delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal rather than left to a generic drop-off. Private jet catering at IMP runs on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, including FBO catering for a single aircraft or a full crew rotation.

“We requested airline catering IATA standards at Imperatriz (IMP/SBIZ) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Good attention to the operational side of catering. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Hugo — Trip Operations Manager
“We had a catering uplift requirement at Imperatriz (IMP/SBIZ) and the coordination was very smooth. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Ibrahim — Flight Crew Logistics Manager
“We used the team for business jet catering at Imperatriz (IMP/SBIZ) on a VIP trip. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. I would definitely order from them again. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at Imperatriz (IMP)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Imperatriz (IMP)
What operations gets asked every week about Imperatriz.
Ask operations directly →When must an order be placed for a flight through IMP, and how late can the specification change?
When a rotation is confirmed, we ask for the lead time needed to plan the cart count and cabin split; smaller specification changes can still be taken closer to departure, which covers most last minute airline catering requests. As soon as a change is confirmed with the desk, it is logged against that rotation's file so nothing is missed at the galley door.
Can you give an airline catering cost for a rotation through SBIZ?
Cabin count, specification and the loading window all move the airline catering cost for a given rotation, so we do not publish a price list; our desk returns a quotation once those three points are confirmed.
What does private jet catering look like for an aircraft based in Imperatriz?
We deliver directly to the FBOs on the field and to the GA terminal, running FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift rather than a separate process.
How does Imperatriz Airport handle VIP flight catering and government flight catering, and under what protocol?
Imperatriz Airport movements carrying VIP, VVIP or government flight catering are handled by security-cleared crew working to a documented protocol, from sealed kitchen departure through to a signed handover at the aircraft.
