Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — São José Dos Campos, Brazil
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at São José Dos Campos (SBSJ / SJK)
SJK (IATA) · SBSJ (ICAO)
Our kitchen provisions São José Dos Campos to a wide-body reference code, which means three cabins can be boarded in one rotation without splitting the load across separate runs. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here move by hi-loader straight to galley height, so the uplift crosses the apron once and reaches the aircraft sealed, cutting the exposure a foot-of-aircraft handover would otherwise add.

On the apron — São José Dos Campos
Inflight catering with hi-loader boarding at SBSJ / SJK
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at SBSJ / SJK
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at SBSJ / SJK
Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the signature at the galley door, the loading window at São José Dos Campos is measured stage by stage rather than promised as a round figure. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the cart crosses the apron on a route we control end to end rather than one set by a third handler. Every catering uplift here follows that same sequence, whatever the size of the aircraft on the stand.
The convoy between our kitchen and the stand at São José Dos Campos is the part of the operation we plan against, not the food itself: screening, escort and apron traffic all sit inside that short run, and each one can add delay if it is not sequenced ahead of the load. We build the route and the timing around the busiest of them before the cart ever leaves the door, so the chain of custody holds from seal to signature regardless of what the apron is doing that day. Every galley catering load carries a temperature log opened at sealing and closed again at handover, and a signature at the galley door that ties the record to the aircraft it boarded. That signature is what a catering uplift here is finally measured against.
The convoy is the risk we plan for here, never the food itself.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for SBSJ / SJK
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at SBSJ / SJK
The kitchen behind São José Dos Campos runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, so a wide-body order does not have to be split across separate sites to reach the stand together. That single-roof layout is what airport catering here is built on: everything for one rotation leaves through the same sealed door, on the same cold chain, at the same time. Airport catering planned this way also holds HACCP discipline across every line, from the cold larder to the tray set, rather than only at the point the cart is loaded.
The team assigned to government flight catering at São José Dos Campos is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from general production. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the sealed area, and is trained to the household service standards a royal or state movement expects on arrival. That continuity is what lets a protocol officer plan against a name and a badge rather than against a shift pattern.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at São José Dos Campos
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at São José Dos Campos, Brazil
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for the season, so a First-cabin order and a group-charter order never share a specification by accident. Regional produce from the state of São Paulo runs through the standard sets where the season allows it, dairy, orchard fruit and fish among them, without naming a single dish against it. Inflight catering here is documented at the level of the passenger, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets labelled per seat and per cabin rather than per flight. That labelling is what lets a mixed cabin fly with three separate dietary sets on the same tray run without a mix-up at the galley door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at São José Dos Campos are plated to a written specification rather than to a standard tray, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order on file. VIP flight catering at this level is filed and checked against that specification before it leaves the kitchen, not assembled from memory on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SBSJ run on multi-choice hot service built to a written cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so the tray sets and meal boxes reaching the cabin never mix with what the flight deck receives.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at SJK are documented per passenger rather than per flight, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes against a standing record. Inflight catering produced to these codes runs on a separate line at the kitchen and is sealed before it leaves that line, so a dietary set never shares a cart with the standard tray run.

Flight catering airside delivery at SBSJ
São José Dos Campos takes scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body stand rated to the same reference code the airline and VIP work both depend on, which means a state delegation and a repeat charter rotation are worked through the identical ramp position rather than two different ones. A delegation on that stand is a documentation problem before it is a loading problem; a repeat charter rotation is a matter of holding the same tray specification run after run without drift.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, crossing the apron under our own ramp access rather than a handover at the foot of the stairs, with the cart raised by hi-loader to galley height on arrival. Airline catering at SJK, aviation catering at SBSJ and in-flight catering in Brazil all move through that same short route, and airport catering at São José Dos Campos is planned stand by stand rather than by a general schedule, because one stand serving several segments has no room for a generic slot.
On every rotation here inflight catering at São José Dos Campos is run by one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover at the galley door, so responsibility for the load never passes between hands without a record.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at SBSJ / SJK
01
Government and state flight catering at SBSJ
A wide-body aircraft on a state visit boards from the same single stand at São José Dos Campos as a scheduled rotation, because the reference code covering that stand does not distinguish the two. Government flight catering here documents the protocol file per passenger, assigns security-cleared staff to the load, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement or official delegation.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SJK
Across a runway measured at 2,676 metres, private airliners such as a BBJ, an ACJ or a wide-body VIP configuration operate into São José Dos Campos on the same reference rating as a scheduled service. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat rotations from a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assembled on the day.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at São José Dos Campos
A single wide-body stand has to sequence its galleys in the exact order they are laid out, because there is no second position at São José Dos Campos to absorb a clash between two movements loading close together. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering staged this way holds that sequence whatever the mission behind it.

Airline and ad hoc catering at SBSJ
A wide-body reference code governs the single stand at São José Dos Campos, and it is that rating, not the runway length, that lets a scheduled carrier run this station as an outstation without a change of aircraft type. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed against the roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at SJK
The runway here measures 2,676 metres, and that length keeps São José Dos Campos within reach of most business jet types using the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field. Private jet catering in Brazil at this station is handled by our dedicated branch, delivered to those FBOs and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, business aviation catering and business jet catering included, through FBO catering held to that same standard.

Business jet catering questions at São José Dos Campos
Diversion catering and ramp questions at São José Dos Campos
What operations gets asked every week about São José Dos Campos.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering cost get set for São José Dos Campos?
A quotation is built from a written record of cabin count, specification and loading window rather than from a price list, so the desk at São José Dos Campos comes back with a figure once those three are confirmed.
When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at São José Dos Campos?
Once the sealed cart clears the apron under our own ramp access, the load is raised by hi-loader straight to galley height, so airside delivery here never passes through a handover at the foot of the stairs.
Does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at SJK?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself receive private jet catering on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled by our dedicated branch rather than routed through general production.
Who documents halal, kosher and the special meal codes at SBSJ?
Across the full IATA SPML list, halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line at the kitchen and sealed before they leave it, with each set logged per passenger rather than per flight.
Is VIP, VVIP and government flight catering run under protocol at São José Dos Campos?
The coordinator assigned to that rotation documents the protocol file per passenger and assigns security-cleared staff to the load, so government flight catering and VIP flight catering both move under the same named responsibility.
At what point must an order be placed for São José Dos Campos, and how late can the specification still change?
The first step is confirming the cabin count and the loading window with the desk, after which a specification can still be adjusted up until the cart is sealed, which is what decides how far in advance a last minute airline catering request can still be worked.
