Aviation catering — Pelotas, Brazil
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Pelotas (SBPK / PET)
PET (IATA) · SBPK (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets what boards at this single-runway field, and our crews work within that limit rather than around it: multi-class inflight catering staged to the stand it is assigned. The kitchen sends sealed carts to the ramp for hi-loader boarding to galley height, so in-flight catering reaches the aircraft as an uplift, not a delivery left at its foot.

Ramp access at Pelotas governs how the loading window is built, because a single-runway field with narrow-body clearance leaves no slack for a missed slot. Every catering uplift is timed from the moment the cart leaves our kitchen to the moment it clears the galley door, across the apron and onto the stand assigned for that rotation. Nothing here is estimated after the fact: the sequence is fixed before the aircraft is on the ground.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Pelotas sit screening, an escort onto the apron, and whatever traffic is working the single runway that day. We plan the galley catering against the busiest version of that sequence, not the easiest, so a delay upstream never becomes a delay at the door. Chain of custody runs on the cart itself: sealed at the kitchen, checked at the airside gate, opened only at the galley. Temperatures are logged at both ends of that catering uplift, and the handover carries a signature, not an estimate. That signature is what a protocol officer or an ops desk actually audits after the fact, at Pelotas as anywhere else we work.
One seal, one signature, one route from our kitchen to the galley door.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving SBPK / PET
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Pelotas (PET)
Airport catering at Pelotas is provisioned from a kitchen built to run hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, rather than farming any of them out. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart that leaves for the ramp. Airport catering in Pelotas depends on that single site holding to one standard across a narrow-body rotation, a charter movement or a government uplift alike, and the flight kitchen at PET is built to hold it on every one.
The team that handles government flight catering at Pelotas is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from a general pool. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access is limited to a fixed list, and training runs to royal household service standards as well as to our own. That consistency is what a protocol desk checks before it checks anything else, and it is answered the same way every time it is asked.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Pelotas
VVIP catering to a written specification at Pelotas, Brazil
Menus at Pelotas are written to the cabin they board and the mission they support, not to a single fixed cycle repeated regardless of who is flying. Southern Brazil's dairy, orchard fruit and river fish inform the seasonal frame without dictating it, so a menu built here still answers to whatever specification the flight requires. Inflight catering at PET carries that frame from a scheduled rotation through to a chartered or a state movement, cabin by cabin. Every dietary and allergen set is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen, and it travels with the load rather than being confirmed after boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Pelotas are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for each cabin, so the presentation is repeatable across rotations rather than improvised on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SBPK take multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready formats sized to the aircraft fitted to that stand. Tray sets and meal boxes travel alongside cabin crew meals and pilot meals, all boxed to the roster rather than to a single generic count, so crew meals arrive matched to who is actually working that leg.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Pelotas are documented per passenger, covering household and religious requirements alongside medical restrictions rather than treating them as an afterthought. Halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before that line closes, which keeps inflight catering auditable meal by meal.

Flight catering airside delivery at SBPK
Pelotas handles a mix of scheduled narrow-body rotations, charter movements and occasional government traffic across a single runway rated to a narrow-body reference code, which means every uplift is planned against one stand rather than a wide choice of them. A delegation arriving on short notice is treated as a documentation problem first, a repeat scheduled rotation as a repetition problem, and each is worked accordingly rather than through one generic process.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, escorted across the apron and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the stand. Airline catering in Brazil at a field of this size depends on that same route holding every time, and in-flight catering at SBPK is planned around the single stand this traffic actually uses.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the galley door, so aviation catering at SBPK and inflight catering in Brazil more broadly are held to the one procedure rather than to how busy that day happens to be.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Pelotas (PET)
01
Government and state flight catering at PET
A narrow-body aircraft on a state movement still boards through the same single stand every other rotation here uses, which is what lets government flight catering run to one procedure regardless of who is on board. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared against a fixed access list, and the uplift for a head of state movement is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Pelotas
Against a 1,980 metre runway, a private airliner on household work is handled to the same written specification kept on file between movements, not reworked from scratch each time. Royal flight catering at this field covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements alike, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request and VVIP protocol held to the same standard as any government uplift.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at SBPK
A single runway rated to a narrow-body reference code means a charter rotation is sequenced against one stand rather than staged across several, so the loading order is fixed before the aircraft arrives. Charter flight catering at Pelotas covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet; charter flight catering at SBPK runs to that same count on every leg of a multi-leg rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at PET
A narrow-body reference code sets the ceiling on what routes through Pelotas, and within it we run ad hoc airline catering for carriers that treat this field as an outstation rather than a base. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals at PET and crew meals elsewhere in Brazil boxed to the same standard.

Private jet and FBO catering at Pelotas
The 1,980 metre runway here sets what business aviation traffic can actually operate into Pelotas, which keeps that segment worked through the same GA terminal and FBOs on the field rather than a separate arrangement. Private jet catering at PET reaches those FBOs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, business aviation catering and business jet catering included.

“For a last-minute requirement at Pelotas (PET/SBPK), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Alicia — Flight Experience Manager
“Our team needed VIP flight catering in Pelotas for a short-notice flight at PET/SBPK. The menu selection was good and all special requests were clearly identified. I would use them again for another flight from Pelotas. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Omar — Flight Planning Manager
“We had several special meal codes on our order at Pelotas (PET/SBPK) and everything was handled correctly. The order arrived complete and the special requests were handled with the same presentation as the regular meals. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Aircraft catering questions at PET
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Pelotas
What operations gets asked every week about Pelotas.
Ask operations directly →Which lead time does an order into Pelotas need, and how late can the specification change?
The loader and the cart route set the limit, not the calendar: standard rotations follow our normal lead time, but last minute airline catering can still be built and sealed before the assigned loading window closes.
What halal, kosher and special meal codes does Pelotas Airport produce?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, known as SPML, each one documented per passenger and boxed on a separate line before it is sealed.
Given the single runway here, can PET take airline catering delivered airside?
There is a hi-loader route from our kitchen to the stand, so airline catering reaches the aircraft by airside delivery and boards at galley height rather than being left at its foot.
How is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and GA terminal at SBPK?
SBPK routes private jet catering through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, all on the same cold chain and paperwork as FBO catering for a scheduled airline uplift.
