Aviation catering — Carepa, Colombia
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Carepa (SKLC / APO)
APO (IATA) · SKLC (ICAO)
Inflight catering at Carepa runs off a single narrow-body reference code, so every wide-body diversion or ad hoc uplift is planned around one runway rather than a spread of stands. AERO GOURMET provides in-flight catering here for scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements, boarding by hi-loader to galley height on the ramp for a fast, airside uplift.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at SKLC
Your catering uplift at Carepa moves on a fixed sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the ramp access held for this rotation, boarded at the galley door. The single narrow-body reference code held here means every movement across the apron is planned against one runway, not a choice of routings, so the sequence is worked the same way each time. Nothing in that chain is estimated after the fact.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Carepa sit screening, an escort across the apron, and the traffic the single runway concentrates onto one movement at a time; we plan the catering uplift against the busiest of those windows rather than the average one. Chain of custody is unbroken from the moment the galley catering is sealed to the moment it is signed for at the aircraft door, with a named handler at each point of the route. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the paperwork travels with the load, not behind it.
One sealed load, one route, one signature: nothing about the uplift is left to guesswork.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Carepa airport
The flight kitchen that provisions APO runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standards and organised around the narrow-body reference code that governs every movement at Carepa. Airport catering here is planned to a single runway rather than a spread of stands, which keeps the cold chain short between sealing and loading. Airport catering at this kitchen covers scheduled, ad hoc and VIP work off the same production floor.
The team that handles government flight catering at Carepa is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance held on file, entry limited to the access list, and training carried to royal household standards where a movement calls for it. Nobody joins a sealed uplift who is not already cleared for it. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it does not change rotation to rotation.
Halal airline meals and special meals at SKLC / APO
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Carepa (APO)
Menus at APO are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, moving from a First and Business specification through to a main-cabin tray set on the same rotation. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce where the season allows it, kept to general categories such as dairy, fish and orchard fruit rather than a named dish or supplier. Every set is planned against a seasonal calendar so the same cabin can be served differently across the year without a new specification each time. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and travel with the load as a labelled record, not a verbal note.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Carepa are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for the movement. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the same presentation repeats across a household's rotations.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SKLC run a multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted for the rotation. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the galley loads them without resorting.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at APO cover household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, including halal and kosher meals and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, kept apart from the general cabin run.

Flight catering airside delivery at APO
Carepa runs on a single narrow-body reference code and one runway, which means scheduled, charter and government traffic all sequence through the same stand rather than spreading across several; a delegation movement here is a documentation problem worked in advance, and a peak wave is a loading-order problem worked on the day. Aviation catering in Colombia is planned around that single-stand reality rather than around a choice of gates.
Airline catering at SKLC moves from the kitchen to the apron by sealed cart, escorted across the ramp and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering at APO is coordinated from one ops desk, with a named handler on the ramp for every rotation regardless of segment. Airport catering in Carepa is scheduled stand by stand against that single reference code, and in-flight catering at Carepa follows the same sequence on every movement.
One coordinator carries the rotation from kitchen to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Carepa
01
Government and state flight catering at Carepa
One runway and a single reference code mean a state movement at Carepa is worked as one sequenced rotation rather than juggled against competing stands. Government flight catering here covers delegations, state visits and official movements, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement routed through this field.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Carepa
Our crews work the single narrow-body reference code at Carepa as a fixed sequence, which lets a royal household movement repeat the same loading pattern every time it returns. Royal flight catering here extends to private airliners such as BBJ and ACJ types, held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against that same VVIP standard on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at SKLC
A single narrow-body reference code governs every stand assignment at Carepa, which keeps a charter rotation on one sequenced slot rather than a choice of gates. Charter flight catering at APO serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet; charter flight catering in Carepa is staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at APO
The single narrow-body reference code held at Carepa means every scheduled or ad hoc rotation is sequenced through one runway rather than spread across several stands, so timing discipline carries more weight here than at a multi-stand field. Ad hoc airline catering at APO covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG uplifts handled the same way across a multi-leg rotation; crew meals at APO and crew meals at SKLC travel boxed to the roster on the same load.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Carepa
A business jet routed onto the single narrow-body stand at Carepa is boarded on the same sequence as any scheduled movement, because the field runs to one reference code rather than a separate general-aviation apron. Private jet catering at APO is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our flight at Carepa (APO/SKLC) required HACCP with clear service-by-service organization. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

“We had a tech stop requirement at Carepa (APO/SKLC) and the coordination was very smooth. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Airline catering services FAQ for SKLC / APO
Technical stop catering questions at SKLC / APO
What operations gets asked every week about Carepa.
Ask operations directly →Where does VIP, VVIP and government flight catering sit under protocol at SKLC?
Every movement is logged against a written protocol file before the uplift is sealed, with government flight catering, VIP flight catering and household work handled by the same security-cleared team on the access list.
Does Carepa produce halal, kosher and IATA special meal sets?
Every passenger with a dietary or religious requirement is booked to a labelled special meal code, and halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line under SPML codes before sealing.
Which airport name handles airside delivery for the aircraft on the ramp?
The hi-loader takes the sealed cart from our kitchen straight to the galley door, so airline catering at Carepa boards at galley height rather than being left at the foot of the aircraft.
Who sets the lead time and how late can a specification change at APO?
For scheduled rotations the standing order carries most of the lead time, while ad hoc, diversion and last minute airline catering requests are worked against the loading window still open on the day; the desk confirms how far in advance a given change can still be made.
