Aviation catering — Cochrane, Chile
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Cochrane (SCHR / LGR)
LGR (IATA) · SCHR (ICAO)
One runway and a narrow-body reference code set the scale of every rotation here, so uplift is planned to the airframe rather than to a generic bay. Hi-loader boarding still lifts wide-body carts to galley height when the mission calls for it, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and every uplift from our kitchen reach the aircraft airside, not at the foot of the stand.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at SCHR
The catering uplift for this narrow-body field is planned against the single runway that sets its rotation pace, not against an assumed slot. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy moves from kitchen to stand without waiting on a shared gate. Every load that reaches the apron at Cochrane is logged at the point it leaves the kitchen and again at the point it is handed over.

Between our kitchen and the stand at SCHR sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the plan for each rotation is built against the worst of those three, not the average. A single-runway field concentrates every movement onto one ramp routine, so the galley catering convoy is scheduled with a fixed escort rather than an ad hoc one. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft, with the catering uplift logged at both ends and nowhere in between. Nothing leaves the galley door unaccounted for on the way to Cochrane.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Cochrane, Chile

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Cochrane airport
Airport catering in Chile is provisioned from a kitchen built to feed a narrow-body reference code rather than a wide-body cycle, which keeps production matched to the aircraft this field actually takes. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, run to HACCP standards from intake to seal. That single site is what makes airport catering at Cochrane and flight kitchen output at LGR a matter of one line, not several.
The team that handles government flight catering at Cochrane is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access roster, and trained against the standing service specification rather than against a one-off brief. Because the field runs a single runway, that crew works one ramp routine repeatedly, which keeps the protocol handover consistent movement after movement. Nothing about their work changes with who is on board.
Halal airline meals and special meals at SCHR / LGR
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Cochrane (LGR)
From passenger meal boxes to VVIP menus, inflight catering in Cochrane is built to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle. Produce drawn from the surrounding Chilean region — orchard fruit, dairy, river and coastal fish — sits alongside items sourced further afield when a mission specification calls for them. Every set is written first to the airframe boarding here and its narrow-body galley, then adjusted for the operator's own standing order. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and travel sealed with the load.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Cochrane: VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation through LGR is served to the same brief each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SCHR: multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the narrow-body galley fitted here. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside tray sets built for the cabin count this airframe carries.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for inflight catering at SCHR, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line before sealing. The full range of IATA special meal codes is worked from the same protocol cell that handles the rest of the uplift, so nothing crosses lines within the kitchen.

HACCP standards for aviation catering at Cochrane
Flight catering airside delivery at LGR
Cochrane runs a single runway and a narrow-body reference code, which means the traffic mix here is dominated by scheduled and charter movements sized to that airframe rather than by wide-body waves. That profile turns airline catering in Chile into a scheduling problem more than a capacity one: the same rotation repeats, and the same tray specification has to hold across it. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at LGR all run off the one kitchen described above, with airport catering at SCHR planned stand by stand against the reference code this field holds. The uplift moves from kitchen to ramp under our own escort, loaded through the galley door at the height this airframe sets, with ground handling on the apron working to the same loading sheet we do. We commit to one named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover at the aircraft door.

Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

“We used the service at Cochrane (LGR/SCHR) for airline catering at outstations on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. Updates were concise and the delivery timing matched our handling plan. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

LGR takes the uplift by airside delivery straight to the stand, with hi-loader boarding used where the airframe calls for it, so nothing is handed over at the foot of the aircraft.
