Aviation catering — Maceió, Brazil
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Maceió (SBMO / MCZ)
MCZ (IATA) · SBMO (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code at Maceió means the loading plan is built around full-width galleys, not a narrow-body improvisation, so a hi-loader has to reach true galley height on every rotation. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off that reference code, with uplift staged by cabin and boarded directly rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at Maceió, Brazil

Ramp access governs the window more than any clock does: a sealed cart clears our kitchen, crosses the apron under escort, and reaches the galley door at a wide-body-rated stand at Maceió. Because the reference code here is wide-body, the hi-loader has to clear galley height on every load rather than drop trays at ground level. That single constraint is what the timeline on this page is measuring.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Maceió the risk sits in the convoy, not in the food: screening, the escort across the apron, and traffic on a single-runway field where every movement shares the same ramp. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of those, not the average of them, so a delay upstream never becomes a delay at the galley door. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the galley catering that boards carries a signed chain of custody the whole way.
One coordinator owns the seal at the kitchen and the signature at the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for MCZ
Airline food supplier crews cleared for SBMO / MCZ
A single runway and a wide-body reference code mean Maceió takes fewer movements than a hub, but each one can carry a full-width cabin set, so our production kitchen is built to output complete tray sets rather than top up a partial load. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, run to HACCP, with cold chain held from the moment a tray is sealed to the moment it clears the galley door. That structure is what airport catering at Maceió depends on for consistency, and it is why airport catering here does not vary between a scheduled rotation and a one-off charter.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Maceió is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled from general production. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the protocol cell, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift move from kitchen to galley door without a new briefing each time.
VIP flight catering menus for SBMO departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Maceió
Menus at Maceió are built to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, rather than run from a single fixed list applied to every departure. Where local sourcing is practical, produce from the surrounding region of Brazil finds its way into the seasonal set, worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish. Inflight catering here spans First, Business and main cabin service, with the same tray standard held across all three. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that record rather than adjusted on the day.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at SBMO are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation matches what was agreed at booking, not what happened to be on hand that day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Maceió run on multi-choice hot service, built to a written cabin specification and boxed in oven-ready formats sized to fit the galley on the aircraft assigned. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are prepared separately and boarded in their own tray sets so the flight deck and cabin crew workflow is never mixed with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Maceió are documented per passenger before production starts, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Each of those is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so inflight catering for one passenger's dietary file never crosses the general tray run.

Catering uplift planned stand by stand at Maceió (MCZ)
Maceió carries scheduled, charter and government movements across a single runway, which means a delegation or a peak wave shares ramp time with everything else that day rather than running on a dedicated slot. Aviation catering in Brazil is planned around that shared ramp, so a delegation's documentation is prepared ahead of the movement and a peak wave is staged in advance rather than worked on arrival.
Uplift leaves our kitchen sealed, crosses the apron on our own ground handling, and is loaded by hi-loader to galley height at whichever wide-body-rated stand is assigned; airline catering at Maceió and airport catering at Maceió both run off that same route rather than separate ones.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the galley door, so inflight catering and in-flight catering in Brazil are accountable to one name, not a shift roster.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at SBMO / MCZ
01
Government and state flight catering at Maceió
Our kitchen holds a protocol cell against the same wide-body reference code that governs every stand at Maceió, which is what lets a delegation movement be documented as carefully as a scheduled one. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations, including head of state movements, with the protocol file built per passenger, security-cleared staff assigned to the load, and the uplift at SBMO sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at MCZ
A 2602 m runway takes the private airliners this segment flies without restricting the stand assigned to them, which keeps a household movement on the same wide-body ramp as any other uplift. Royal flight catering at Maceió holds a written household specification on file between movements for private airliners, BBJ and ACJ types included, with halal and other royal household dietary requirements produced against that record on request, under VVIP handling throughout.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Maceió
A wide-body airliner on charter or ACMI work boards here on the same reference code as scheduled traffic, which is what lets a group movement or special mission take a full three-cabin load rather than a reduced one. Charter flight catering at Maceió covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at MCZ counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at SBMO
A 2602 m runway, one strip only, sets what can divert into Maceió without notice, and it means an ad hoc arrival still gets the same wide-body-rated stand as a scheduled service. Ad hoc airline catering at MCZ covers outstation catering for carriers running this field as a stopover, diversion catering when a rotation lands unplanned, and technical stop catering worked to the same tray standard; crew meals in Maceió and crew meals at MCZ move with the same rotation, and outstation catering in Maceió is planned against the loading sheet, not against notice given.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at MCZ
On the same single runway that scheduled and charter traffic share, business aviation is worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than from a separate ramp. Private jet catering at Maceió runs through our dedicated branch for that traffic, delivered on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all built to that one standard.

“For a last-minute requirement at Maceió (MCZ/SBMO), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. It made the station much easier to manage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Cecilia — Charter Logistics Manager
“We used the service for airline catering in Maceió on a VIP rotation through MCZ/SBMO. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. A very easy service to use at this station. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Agnes — Cargo Control Manager
“I requested halal airline meals for passengers departing Maceió (MCZ/SBMO) and the labeling was excellent. The order arrived complete and the special requests were handled with the same presentation as the regular meals. That attention to detail makes a big difference onboard. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at SBMO
Diversion catering and ramp questions at SBMO
What operations gets asked every week about Maceió.
Ask operations directly →How much does airline catering cost at Maceió?
Maceió does not carry a published price list because a quotation depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested; the desk returns a figure once those three are known.
Where do lead times for MCZ get set, and how far in advance should an order go in?
The loading sheet is what sets the record, and it is confirmed once cabin numbers and the specification are locked; how far in advance depends on the rotation, but a late change to the specification is logged against that same sheet rather than worked around it. Last minute airline catering is handled against whatever loading window remains open.
What protocol governs VIP flight catering and government flight catering at SBMO?
We handle both under the same protocol cell that serves every wide-body movement here, with security-cleared staff assigned and the file documented per passenger before the uplift is sealed.
Which route does private jet catering take to reach the FBOs and the GA terminal in Maceió?
A sealed cart leaves our kitchen and is delivered by ground handling straight to the FBO or the GA terminal assigned, on the same cold chain as an airline load; FBO catering here follows that one route regardless of which FBO is booked.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at Maceió, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Yes: the reference code held here is wide-body, so every uplift is boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with airside delivery run on our own ground access.
When are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for a Maceió departure?
Once the passenger's dietary file is confirmed against the booking, halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before they join the general tray run.
