Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Medellín, Colombia
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Medellín (SKRG / MDE)
MDE (IATA) · SKRG (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held here means a single stand takes a full three-cabin uplift straight up a hi-loader to galley height, no delivery to the tarmac. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and inflight catering in Medellín off one ops desk, sealed from the kitchen and boarded airside for scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements.

Wide-body aviation catering at Medellín airport
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at SKRG
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Medellín
Ramp access at Medellín is held on our own clearances, so the catering uplift moves from the sealed cart to the galley door without a handoff at the foot of the aircraft. Every load leaving our kitchen for MDE carries a temperature log opened at sealing and closed again at the apron, and the sequence is fixed before the vehicle clears the gate. What the timeline below shows is that route, stage by stage, not an estimate of it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Medellín sit screening, an escorted run across the apron, and whatever traffic is working the field that hour: none of it is left to be discovered on the day. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three, building the escort and the screening slot into the same sequence as the loading window itself, so a delay upstream does not become a delay at the galley door. Every sealed cart is logged at departure from the kitchen and again at handover to the crew, and the same signature that closes the galley catering run at Medellín is the one that opens the next one.
One coordinator carries the load from the kitchen seal to the signature at the aircraft door.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at MDE
The flight kitchen that provisions SKRG runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, built to HACCP standard end to end. Airport catering at SKRG is planned against the wide-body reference code held here, so tray sets and cart configurations are built for a full three-cabin load rather than assembled after the fact. That same kitchen carries airport catering at Medellín through the cold chain from production to the sealed cart, with the flight kitchen at MDE run as one line rather than split across stations.
The team that handles government flight catering at SKRG is a named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the household standards a royal or state movement is held to. That same roster carries the chain of custody from the moment a sealed uplift leaves the kitchen to the signature that closes it out at the aircraft. Catering at SKRG runs on that continuity deliberately, because a protocol file is only as good as the people who are cleared to carry it.
Inflight catering menus and special meals at Medellín (MDE)
VVIP catering written per mission at SKRG
Menus here are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted to the season, drawing on the produce of the region — coffee, tropical fruit, dairy and river fish worked into a specification rather than a fixed plate. From passenger meal boxes to VVIP sets, inflight catering at MDE follows the wide-body reference code held on this ramp, which is what lets First, Business and main cabin move off the same rotation without one cabin's plan compromising another's. Charter flight menus and VIP flight menus are built to the same production line, sharing the cold chain and differing only in specification and service style. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before it leaves the kitchen so nothing is reconciled at the aircraft.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Medellín are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than assumed by default. VIP flight catering in Medellín is filed against the standing order for the aircraft, so a repeat movement through SKRG boards the same standard it did the time before.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MDE run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals in Colombia are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew board a set that never touches the passenger tray sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at SKRG are documented per passenger, covering household and religious sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Halal and kosher production runs on a separate line and is sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so inflight catering at Medellín keeps every dietary set traceable back to the passenger it was built for.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at SKRG / MDE
Medellín is worked as a wide-body station, and the reference code held on its single stand means a delegation aircraft, a peak charter wave and a repeat scheduled rotation are all planned against the same full three-cabin capacity rather than three different problems. That mix is why documentation runs ahead of the aircraft here: a delegation calls for the protocol file to be closed before the wheels touch, where a repeat rotation calls instead for the same tray specification to be rebuilt without drift.
Airline catering at Medellín and aviation catering in Medellín both move off the same route from our kitchen to the apron, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed across at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at MDE is staged on the ramp under our own clearances, with the loading crew working to the same sequence whether the aircraft is a scheduled widebody or an ad hoc charter. Inflight catering in Colombia is coordinated from that single stand, which keeps ramp access and stand access under one plan instead of splitting them across handlers.
What we commit to at every rotation through SKRG is one coordinator named to the load, sealed carts logged at departure and again at handover, and a signed record that closes the loop before departure — the same discipline that airport catering in Medellín is built to hold, regardless of how the traffic on the field is running that day.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at MDE
01
Government and state flight catering at MDE
The 3440-metre runway at Medellín takes the aircraft types a head of state movement typically flies, which is what puts government flight catering within reach of this station rather than a diversion elsewhere. Delegations and official movements are worked to a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Medellín
A private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or a wide-body VIP configuration — is what the wide-body reference code held at this stand is built to take, which is why royal flight catering runs through Medellín on the same specification every time. VVIP catering and royal household requirements, including halal VIP sets, are held to a written specification kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt from scratch.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at SKRG
Across the 3440 metres of runway at Medellín, a full three-cabin uplift can be staged and counted against the loading sheet before an ACMI or wet-lease operator's aircraft is even on the stand. Charter flight catering at SKRG covers group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at Medellín built around multi-leg rotations for tour operator and repatriation work alike.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MDE
Our kitchen works to the wide-body reference code held at this single Medellín stand, which is what lets a scheduled carrier, a diversion and a technical stop all draw on the same full three-cabin capacity without re-planning it each time. Ad hoc airline catering at SKRG covers outstation catering and diversion catering off one duty roster, with technical stop catering and AOG handled on the same line, across a multi-leg rotation and with crew meals in Medellín boxed separately to the roster.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Medellín
Fitting a business jet movement around the wide-body reference code held on this single stand means sequencing it apart from the larger rotations rather than folding it into the same slot. Private jet catering in Medellín reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“I asked for galley ready meals at Medellín (MDE/SKRG) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Federico — Airport Operations Lead
“We had an outstation requirement at Medellín (MDE/SKRG) and the coordination was very smooth. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Mariam — Cabin Services Manager
“I ordered private jet menu for our departure from Medellín (MDE/SKRG) 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. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at Medellín (MDE)
Crew meals, lead times and access at Medellín (MDE)
What operations gets asked every week about Medellín.
Ask operations directly →Does Medellín airport support airside delivery of airline catering direct to the aircraft?
Every uplift at Medellín is boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height, with airside delivery held on our own clearances rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
Whose airline catering cost applies at MDE, and how is it worked out?
For every quotation at MDE, the cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and the desk comes back with a figure rather than a published rate.
SKRG — are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced here?
The sealed cart carrying an SKRG uplift includes halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes on request, each one documented per passenger before it leaves the kitchen.
How far does private jet catering reach on the Medellín field?
Our clearance to the ramp covers the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike, so FBO catering at Medellín runs on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
