Aviation catering — Arauca, Colombia
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Arauca (SKUC / AUC)
AUC (IATA) · SKUC (ICAO)
The narrow-body reference code held at Arauca sets what boards on one runway of 2100 metres: single-aisle uplift, cabin by cabin, with no wide-body slack to plan around. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering here by hi-loader to galley height, sealed at the kitchen and boarded airside for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights.

Inflight catering order window at Arauca (AUC)
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Arauca
The narrow-body reference code at Arauca holds the loading plan to one stand at a time, so the catering uplift is sequenced rather than run in parallel. Ramp access is granted in the same order every rotation: sealed cart off the kitchen, apron crossing, hi-loader lift to the galley door. That single-stand discipline is what keeps the window repeatable at SKUC, rotation after rotation, on one runway with no second stand to fall back on.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Arauca sit the same constraints that govern any single-runway field: apron crossing, escort where the ramp plan calls for it, and a checkpoint before the cart reaches the aircraft. We plan the galley catering uplift against the tightest of those, not the average, because AUC gives us one stand and one sequence to hold to. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, with a signature closing the chain of custody at the galley door.
One stand, one sequence, one signature: that is the whole loading window.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving Arauca airport
Airline food supplier crews cleared for AUC
Airport catering at Arauca runs from one flight kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, built to the narrow-body volume this stand actually takes. HACCP governs every stage between the larder and the sealed cart, and the cold chain is held from that point to the galley door with no break in custody. Airport catering in Colombia is judged on that discipline, and the flight kitchen at AUC is built to hold it rotation after rotation.
The team that handles government flight catering at Arauca is the same named crew every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and standing on the access list before any cart is sealed. They are trained to royal household standards as well as state protocol, so a VVIP movement and a scheduled departure draw on the same cleared bench rather than a separate one brought in for the occasion. That continuity is what catering at AUC is actually staking its name on.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Arauca (AUC)
VVIP catering written per mission at SKUC
Menus at Arauca are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusted for scheduled, charter, VIP and government departures off the same narrow-body stand. Produce drawn from the surrounding region of Colombia — dairy, orchard fruit, river fish — sits alongside menus built for longer rotations where local sourcing is not the brief. Inflight catering at SKUC is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, labelled by cabin before the cart is sealed. The specification travels with the load, not with the memory of the crew that built it.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Arauca are plated to a written specification, with caviar and 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 the presentation is repeatable from one rotation to the next.
Business cabins
Business cabins at AUC take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the narrow-body fitment, with crew meals and cabin crew meals boxed separately from the passenger load. Pilot meals are held apart on the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin never draw from the same box.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for departures through Arauca, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it, so the dietary load never crosses the main production run.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at SKUC / AUC
Arauca runs on a single narrow-body reference code and one runway of 2100 metres, which makes every rotation a documentation exercise as much as a loading one: scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic share the same stand, so the paperwork has to separate them cleanly before the cart ever moves. Aviation catering in Arauca is planned against that overlap rather than against volume, because volume is not the constraint this field sets.
The uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the one stand in use, sealed before the apron crossing and lifted to galley height by hi-loader rather than handed up at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the ramp works to the same sequence every time, which is what keeps airline catering in Arauca repeatable when the stand itself cannot vary. In-flight catering at AUC and inflight catering in Colombia more broadly are both held to that same fixed route.
One coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, and airport catering at SKUC does not change hands mid-route.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at AUC
01
Government and state flight catering at SKUC
Our kitchen holds a 2100-metre runway to the single stand it feeds, and that fixed routing is what lets us run government flight catering at AUC without a second sequence to manage. Delegations and official movements get a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the cart, and a head of state aircraft boarded to the same sealed standard as any other uplift through catering at SKUC.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at AUC
The 2100-metre runway at Arauca carries a single narrow-body stand, and that stand holds royal flight catering to the same sequence as every other movement through it. Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP where the field takes them — are boarded to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other royal household requirements produced on request rather than assumed.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Arauca
Narrow-body aircraft under charter, ACMI and wet-lease contracts board through the single stand the reference code at Arauca sets, which is what lets charter flight catering at SKUC hold a full three-cabin uplift to one loading sheet. Group movements and special missions are staged in the order the galleys are laid out, and charter flight catering at AUC is counted against that sheet before the cart ever leaves the kitchen.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at SKUC
The narrow-body reference code at Arauca sets a single stand for every rotation, which forbids running two loading plans in parallel and forces one duty roster to cover them all. Ad hoc airline catering here serves carriers running AUC as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off that same roster; ad hoc catering at AUC covers AOG within it, and crew meals stay boxed apart across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at AUC
On the same single stand that the narrow-body reference code sets at Arauca, business aviation is worked by our dedicated private-jet branch rather than folded into the airline queue. Private jet catering in Colombia reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal here on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as any airline uplift through AUC.

“We ordered wide body VIP aircraft catering for our aircraft at Arauca (AUC/SKUC) and the result was very good. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. Exactly the level of detail we expect for VIP flying. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

“For a high-volume passenger flight at Arauca (AUC/SKUC), we needed reliable hajj charter catering. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. A dependable choice for group charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Inflight catering FAQ for SKUC / AUC
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Arauca (AUC)
What operations gets asked every week about Arauca.
Ask operations directly →AUC — do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The sealed cart that boards our airline uplifts is the same one that reaches business aviation here: FBO catering and GA terminal delivery run on that equipment, on one cold chain.
Do you take orders for SKUC on short notice?
Yes, with the specification held open longer than the order itself: lead time runs from the standing schedule down to a short window for ad hoc and diversion work, and how far in advance you book only tightens what can still change.
Who handles airside delivery to the stand in Arauca?
For every rotation through Arauca, airline catering is boarded by hi-loader from a sealed cart to the galley door, with no handoff at the foot of the aircraft.
How far does protocol reach for VIP, VVIP and government flights at Arauca Airport?
Security clearance on file governs the standard: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both draw on the same cleared bench, working to one protocol file per movement.
AUC — are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced here?
There are dedicated lines for halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes, each one documented per passenger and sealed apart from the main production run.
At which point is an airline catering cost for SKUC actually fixed?
The specification is confirmed first — cabin count, meal codes, loading window — and the quotation follows from that rather than from a published price list.
