Aviation catering — Caucasia, Colombia
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Caucasia (SKCU / CAQ)
CAQ (IATA) · SKCU (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code governs Caucasia, and it sets the loading plan for every rotation this station handles rather than leaving it to guesswork on the day. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here airside, uplift boarded straight from a hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Wide-body inflight catering at Caucasia
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Caucasia (CAQ)
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at SKCU
Every catering uplift at Caucasia starts at a sealed cart, checked against the loading sheet before it clears the kitchen door. Ramp access at SKCU is held on our own badges rather than borrowed for the day, so the route across the apron to the stand is fixed before the cart moves. That sequence, not a promised minute count, is what a rotation through Caucasia can rely on.
Screening, escort and apron traffic sit between our kitchen and the stand at Caucasia, and the plan for each rotation is built against the worst of them rather than the average day. Every catering uplift here carries a chain of custody that starts at the seal and ends at a signature on the stand, with the galley catering itself never left unattended between the two. At CAQ that sequence runs the same way whether the movement is scheduled, charter or a single VIP rotation.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: nothing changes hands unrecorded.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving Caucasia, Colombia
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Caucasia airport
Between our kitchen and hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof feeding Caucasia, so a rotation is never split across two sites that have to be reconciled at the ramp. Airport catering here runs to HACCP throughout, from intake to the sealed cart, with the cold chain unbroken across every stage of production. That single-site model is what keeps airport catering at CAQ consistent between a scheduled morning departure and a single VIP movement the same week.
The team that handles government flight catering at SKCU is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster assembled for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a sealed cart is ever loaded. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is what catering at SKCU is built to hold.
Halal airline meals and special meals at SKCU / CAQ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Caucasia (CAQ)
Menus at Caucasia are written to the cabin and the mission first, and to the season second, rather than run from one fixed cycle regardless of who is on board. Where dairy, fish and orchard produce from the surrounding region can be built into a specification, it is, without naming a single dish or a supplier. Inflight catering in Colombia is planned around what a route actually needs: a short turnaround takes a tighter tray set, a long-haul VIP movement takes a full plated service. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the specification is signed off.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Caucasia carry VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Each presentation is filed against the standing order before it leaves the kitchen, so the same service repeats on every rotation through SKCU.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CAQ take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the fitted galley. Crew meals in Colombia, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, with crew meals at CAQ kept apart from the passenger load throughout.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Caucasia are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering at SKCU produces these sets on a separate line and seals them before that line ever meets the main service.

Flight catering airside delivery at CAQ
Caucasia handles a narrow-body reference code that shapes every rotation passing through it, and that single code turns a mixed schedule of scheduled, charter and government movements into a documentation exercise as much as a loading one: a delegation needs paperwork checked twice, a charter wave needs capacity held in reserve, a repeat rotation needs the same tray set repeated without drift.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by sealed cart, moved across the apron under ramp access held on our own badges rather than a borrowed pass, with our own loading crew working the stand rather than handing the cart off partway. Airport catering in Colombia, and specifically at this stand, is planned before the cart ever leaves the kitchen, not adjusted once it is already airside.
What we commit to at Caucasia is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts checked at both ends and a signed handover at the stand, in-flight catering in Colombia held to the same standard whether the aircraft is a single VIP movement or a full airline catering rotation, aviation catering in Caucasia run off the same desk throughout.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Caucasia
01
Government and state flight catering at CAQ
At a station governed by a single narrow-body reference code, government flight catering still runs on a dedicated protocol file rather than a generic order form. Delegations and official movements are documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and sealed before the cart leaves the kitchen, with head of state movements handled to the same fixed sequence every time.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Caucasia
Sequencing a private airliner through a narrow-body reference code means every course is loaded and checked before the aircraft is called to the stand, since the stand offers no room to correct a late change. Royal flight catering and VVIP work at Caucasia follow a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ and ACJ types with halal and household requirements produced on request, catering at CAQ held to that file every time.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at SKCU
1,156 metres of runway, and that single figure sets what a wide-body charter operator can plan against at this stand. Charter flight catering at SKCU 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 Caucasia staged in the order the galleys are laid out rather than loaded in whatever sequence is fastest.

Airline and ad hoc catering at CAQ
A narrow-body aircraft on a scheduled or diverted rotation is what the reference code at Caucasia is built to board, and that is the traffic this card exists for. Carriers running Caucasia as an outstation get ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering and diversion catering off the same duty roster; a technical stop gets technical stop catering worked to the same standard, crew meals at Caucasia held alongside the passenger load rather than folded into it.

Private jet and FBO catering at Caucasia
Our kitchen works the same 1,156-metre stand for business aviation as for every other movement through Caucasia, running private jet catering in Colombia to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on request. FBO catering here follows the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with the ramp handler coordinating the transfer rather than our crew crossing unescorted.

Scheduled airline
“I asked for airline catering IATA standards at Caucasia (CAQ/SKCU) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Good attention to the operational side of catering. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Axel — Airport Duty Manager
“We used the team for catering uplift at Caucasia (CAQ/SKCU) during a tight turnaround. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Julien — VIP Operations Controller
“I ordered FBO catering for our departure from Caucasia (CAQ/SKCU) and was very happy with the service. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Aircraft catering questions at Caucasia airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at SKCU / CAQ
What operations gets asked every week about Caucasia.
Ask operations directly →How far in advance does an order need to be placed at CAQ, and how late can the specification still change?
The lead time we hold rests on the loading window agreed at booking, and last minute airline catering can still be accepted up to that cut-off if the specification change is confirmed before the cart is sealed. Outside that cut-off the standing order boards as last confirmed.
At which point are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for a flight through SKCU?
Special meal production is scheduled first, ahead of the main cabin run, so halal, kosher and any SPML-coded requirement are sealed and labelled per passenger before the standard tray sets are loaded. Both are documented against the passenger manifest, not against the aircraft alone.
Is airline catering cost at Caucasia fixed per flight, or does it depend on the specification?
The coordinator assigned to your rotation prices against cabin count, specification and loading window rather than against a published rate, since no two rotations through Caucasia carry the same load. A quotation follows once those three are confirmed.
Does Caucasia airport support VIP flight catering, VVIP work and government flight catering under protocol?
Every VIP, VVIP and government rotation through this station is handled under the same protocol file, security-cleared staff and sealed uplift as a state movement, whether the aircraft is a single private airliner or a full delegation flight.
