Aviation catering — Girardot, Colombia
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Girardot (SKGI / GIR)
GIR (IATA) · SKGI (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code at Girardot sets the frame our crews build every uplift against, so main-deck galleys and single-aisle service positions get inflight catering staged to the exact door height this ramp works with. Our teams run in-flight catering here on the same hi-loader method used for wide-body stations, boarding trays through the galley door rather than leaving them at the foot of the aircraft.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Girardot airport
Ramp access at Girardot is what decides the loading window, not the size of the order: a single narrow-body stand means the sequence from kitchen to apron is planned before the cart ever moves. Our coordinators hold that sequence against the actual traffic on the day, adjusting the convoy rather than the standard it has to meet. Every catering uplift at SKGI is timed from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft, so the window is a record, not an estimate.
Between our kitchen and the single stand at Girardot sit screening, an escort and whatever else is moving on the apron that hour, and chain of custody runs unbroken through all of it. We plan each catering uplift against the worst version of that sequence, not the average one, because a narrow-body reference code leaves no slack for a second attempt. Temperature is logged when the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, and the same sheet that carries those two readings carries the signature that closes the load.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.
Airline catering companies' production standard at SKGI / GIR
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Girardot (GIR)
The flight kitchen that provisions Girardot runs hot production, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, with output built around what one narrow-body reference code actually needs rather than a volume it will never see. Airport catering in Colombia is not built to a single template, and airport catering in Girardot is set against the cabin count this reference code carries: First, Business and main cabin, no more. The flight kitchen at GIR follows HACCP procedure through every stage of that production, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is closed to the moment it reaches the galley door.
The team behind government flight catering at Girardot is the same named crew every rotation, not a roster pulled from a general pool. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access is limited to a named list, and each is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking when they ask who is handling the load.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Girardot
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Girardot, Colombia
Menus at Girardot are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, and the inflight catering built here draws on produce and dairy typical of the surrounding Colombian region rather than an imported template. A scheduled rotation gets a cycle that rolls week to week; a charter or a state movement gets a specification set once and held. Every diet is documented per passenger and per cabin, covering allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets before the tray is ever loaded. That documentation travels with the uplift, not separately from it, so the aircraft and the paperwork arrive together.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Girardot receive VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to one set. Every course is filed against the standing order before it leaves the kitchen, so a repeat rotation is served the same way twice.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SKGI take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley this narrow-body reference code carries, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so crew meals never compete with passenger loading on the same cart.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Girardot, with halal and kosher sets produced on a line kept separate from the main run. The full set of IATA special meal codes is supported, each one sealed and labelled before it leaves the kitchen so inflight catering matches the manifest exactly.

Flight catering airside delivery at SKGI
Girardot works scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body reference code, and that mix decides how the day is planned: a delegation is a documentation problem, a charter wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem, each handled differently from the same kitchen. Airline catering in Girardot is scheduled against whichever of those three the day actually brings, not against a generic ops calendar.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the single stand by sealed cart, escorted onto the apron and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at SKGI and aviation catering in Girardot both run off the same ops desk, so a diversion or a late change is handled by the same coordinator who planned the original load.
We commit one named coordinator to every rotation here, sealed carts at every stage, and a signed handover at the aircraft door, which is what airport catering at GIR is actually measured on.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Girardot (GIR)
01
Government and state flight catering at GIR
A single narrow-body stand takes the same head of state movement a wide-body ramp would handle elsewhere, and that is what government flight catering at Girardot is built around: one aircraft, one protocol file, no competing traffic on the stand. The file is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared against a named list, and catering at SKGI is sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any official delegation.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Girardot
At a station holding a 1600 m runway, private airliners sized to that length are what royal flight catering at Girardot is built to serve, rather than the largest wide-body types other stations describe. BBJ and ACJ movements are held to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other household requirements produced against it on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at SKGI
A single stand forces every charter movement into strict sequence, so the loading plan has to be fixed before the aircraft is even on the ramp: charter flight catering at SKGI for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, cabin by cabin. Charter flight catering at Girardot for a multi-leg rotation is counted against the same loading sheet on every sector, not re-planned from scratch.

Airline and ad hoc catering at GIR
A narrow-body reference code governs every movement at Girardot, and that single classification is what lets carriers running this station as an outstation plan a standard load without guessing at aircraft type. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with crew meals in Girardot boxed separately and crew meals at Girardot never delaying an ad hoc catering at GIR request against an AOG or a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at Girardot
The 1600 m runway at Girardot admits the business jets that use the GA terminal here, and that traffic is worked by our dedicated private-jet branch rather than folded into the main airline flow. Private jet catering in Colombia from this branch reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with business aviation catering and FBO catering following one shared record.

“Our flight at Girardot (GIR/SKGI) required HACCP with clear service-by-service organization. The order came ready for service with no unnecessary packaging or loose items to sort through. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Arjun — State Aviation Manager
“For a changing schedule at Girardot (GIR/SKGI), we needed flexible ACMI. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Jacob — Crew Operations Coordinator
“I needed reliable private jet catering at Girardot (GIR/SKGI) for a same-day departure. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Crew meals, lead times and access at Girardot
What operations gets asked every week about Girardot.
Ask operations directly →When flying into GIR, do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
When a rotation is confirmed, our crews run airside delivery straight to the stand and board by hi-loader to galley height rather than leaving the load at the foot of the aircraft.
Does SKGI receive private jet catering direct to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself receive FBO catering from the same kitchen and the same cold chain used for scheduled flights, with no separate ordering process.
Who documents halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes for flights out of Girardot?
Across every cabin, halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are produced on a separate line and labelled per passenger before the tray set is sealed.
Where does an airline catering cost estimate for Girardot come from?
The loading sheet drives it: cabin count, specification and the loading window set the quotation, and our desk comes back with a figure once those three are confirmed.
