Aviation catering — Maringá, Brazil
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Maringá (SBMG / MGF)
MGF (IATA) · SBMG (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code at Maringá sets the ramp this uplift moves through, so hi-loader access reaches galley height on every rotation booked here. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at this wide-body-capable stand for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights, with uplift loaded airside 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 SBMG
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at SBMG / MGF
Catering uplift at SBMG moves on a fixed sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, driven under escort, staged at the stand and boarded by hi-loader to galley height. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the convoy clears the apron without waiting on a shared gate. Every stage is timed against the one before it, and the sequence does not change because the aircraft does.

The convoy is the risk on this ramp, not the food. Between our kitchen and the stand at Maringá sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the chain of custody is planned against the worst of that combination rather than the average of it.
Each cart is sealed before it leaves the galley catering line, logged again at handover, and signed for at the aircraft door. Catering uplift that reaches the galley without a broken seal is the measure we work to, on every rotation through SBMG.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Maringá
Airport catering at Maringá runs from one production kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof. HACCP governs every stage of that build, from intake to the sealed cart that leaves for the stand. Airport catering in Maringá is planned around the narrow-body reference code held at SBMG, so the flight kitchen at MGF sizes its output to what that stand can actually take.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per flight. Security clearance is held on file, each member sits on the access list for the ramp, and training covers household service standards alongside the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks before it books.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Maringá airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at MGF
Menus at Maringá are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, moving from a boarding pass through a full VVIP specification without changing the kitchen behind them. Dairy, orchard fruit and river fish sourced from the surrounding region sit alongside a standing tray-set programme built for volume. Inflight catering in Maringá closes on documented sets: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, each labelled per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. Nothing served here leaves the kitchen unlabelled, whatever the class it boards.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Maringá are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation through MGF is served to the same brief every time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SBMG run on multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so tray sets and crew sets never travel mixed into the same cart.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Maringá, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering produced against those codes is built on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line for the stand.

Aircraft catering food safety at Maringá, Brazil
Flight catering airside delivery at Maringá, Brazil
A single narrow-body runway and reference code at Maringá means every rotation through this field shares one ramp, so a peak departure wave here is a capacity problem worked stand by stand rather than a documentation one. Airline catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering in Brazil are planned around that single-runway constraint, and aircraft provisioning at MGF is sequenced to the order aircraft actually occupy the stand.
Uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by escorted cart to airside delivery at the stand, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed off at ground level. Ramp access on this apron is held on our own badges, so the loading crew clears the gate without waiting on a shared handler slot.
One coordinator carries each rotation through MGF from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load.

“Our team used the service at Maringá (MGF/SBMG) for head of state aircraft catering with strict timing and handling requirements. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. A professional service for movements where discretion matters. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Diego — Trip Operations Coordinator
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Maringá (MGF/SBMG) and booked BBJ catering for the sector. The portions, packaging, and labeling worked well for the cabin, and the timing was spot on. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
David — Station Services Coordinator
“We booked pilgrim flight catering at Maringá (MGF/SBMG) for a large group departure. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Ask operations directly →At what point does Maringá Airport handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
From first booking, VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Maringá Airport are handled under a documented protocol file, with security-cleared staff assigned before the uplift is sealed.
Does MGF take airline catering delivered airside, straight to the aircraft?
Every uplift at MGF is airline catering delivered by airside delivery, with a hi-loader boarding each cart to galley height rather than leaving it at ground level.
What limits how late a specification can change at SBMG?
There is a fixed lead time for a new order at SBMG, and how far in advance a change is confirmed decides whether last minute airline catering can still be sequenced onto the same load.
Maringá is asked daily whether halal, kosher and SPML sets are produced here — are they?
The sealed cart that leaves our kitchen for Maringá carries halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of special meals coded to IATA SPML standards, each documented per passenger.
