Aviation catering — Yopal, Colombia
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Yopal (SKYP / EYP)
EYP (IATA) · SKYP (ICAO)
The 2575 m runway at Yopal clears a wide-body reference code, which is what lets a hi-loader raise a full uplift to galley height instead of leaving it at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering here runs airside, in-flight catering and aviation catering share the same ramp desk, and the same crew boards a scheduled sector or a wide-body charter across three cabins.

Aircraft catering lead times at SKYP
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Yopal
The catering uplift at SKYP moves in one direction only: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the apron, raised by hi-loader to the galley door. Ramp access is held on our own credentials, not borrowed from a handler on the day, so the convoy does not wait on someone else's clearance. Every stage between the two points is logged before the seal is broken at the aircraft.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Yopal sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built around the worst of the three rather than the average. A convoy held at a checkpoint costs minutes the aircraft does not have, so the route and the timing are fixed before the cart leaves the dock, not improvised on the ramp. Chain of custody runs unbroken from that seal to the signature at the galley, with the temperature logged at both ends and the catering uplift recorded against a single reference for the rotation.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing in between.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Yopal airport departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for EYP
The flight kitchen behind Yopal runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding the stands at EYP without splitting the uplift across separate sites. HACCP governs every stage from intake to seal, and the cold chain is held from the walk-in to the cart rather than broken and restarted at the ramp. Airport catering at Yopal and airport catering across the wider station draw on the same production line, so a rotation is never held for a second kitchen to catch up.
The team that handles government flight catering at Yopal is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Security clearance is on file, access lists are checked before badges are issued, and household service standards apply whether the movement is a state delegation or a royal one. Sealed uplift and the paperwork travelling with it stay with that one team from kitchen to signature.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Yopal (EYP)
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at SKYP
Menus at Yopal are built to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, so a First-cabin service and a main-cabin tray set never come off the same fixed template. Local produce from the surrounding region enters where it fits a menu cycle: dairy, orchard fruit and river fish appear as ingredients, never as a claim on their own. Inflight catering in Colombia draws on that same regional supply base rather than importing a full specification for every rotation. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the tray leaves the kitchen, so nothing reaches the galley unlabelled.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Yopal are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte formats available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation reads the same file the crew used the last time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SKYP run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals at Yopal, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck set never mixes with the cabin crew's.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at EYP are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets produced on a separate line from the main cabin run. Halal and kosher trays and the full range of IATA special meal codes are sealed before that line joins the rest of the uplift, and inflight catering records match the passenger list they were built against.

Flight catering airside delivery at SKYP / EYP
A single wide-body reference code at Yopal means the traffic through EYP is planned around one aircraft size rather than a mix of stand configurations, which simplifies the loading sheet but concentrates every rotation onto the same ramp window. Airline catering here is scheduled against that window rather than spread across several stands, so a delay on one movement affects the sequencing of the next far more directly than at a multi-stand field.
The uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the stand, sealed before departure and escorted across the apron by our own cleared driver rather than handed to a passing vehicle. Ground handling on the field works alongside that route without altering it: airport catering at EYP and airside delivery to the stand stay under our control from seal to signature, and aviation catering in Colombia more broadly follows the same escorted pattern. In-flight catering at SKYP is tracked against a single reference per rotation, not against a shared handler log.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to galley, and a signed handover at the aircraft door.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Yopal (EYP)
01
Government and state flight catering at Yopal
At Yopal, the single wide-body stand carries state visits and official delegations on the same ramp used for scheduled traffic, which is why the protocol file is built before the aircraft is on approach rather than after. Government flight catering here documents each passenger's requirements in that file, with security-cleared staff and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, extending to head of state movements on the same terms.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Yopal
Loading a private airliner on the single wide-body stand at Yopal means sequencing the galleys around one aircraft's layout rather than a mixed schedule, and that sequencing is fixed before the movement lands. Royal flight catering and VVIP work for BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft are held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with royal household dietary requirements and halal sets produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at SKYP
2575 metres is the longest runway at Yopal, and that length is what keeps a wide-body charter movement on the same stand configuration as scheduled traffic rather than routed elsewhere. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before the galleys are staged. Charter flight catering at Yopal follows that same sequence whether the rotation is a single leg or several.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Yopal
A wide-body reference code at EYP means the same stand configuration serves a scheduled carrier running Yopal as an outstation and an aircraft diverted in without notice. Outstation catering covers the carriers on a regular rotation here, ad hoc airline catering picks up the ones that are not, and diversion catering and technical stop catering follow the same duty roster rather than a separate one. AOG works through that roster too, across a multi-leg pattern, with crew meals in Yopal held on the same tray standard whichever booking route brought the aircraft to the stand.

Private jet and FBO catering at Yopal
We run the same 2575 m stand access for business aviation that scheduled and charter traffic use at Yopal, extending it to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal rather than treating it as a separate route. Private jet catering at Yopal moves on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, and business aviation catering follows identical clearance whether the movement is a business jet catering booking or a corporate charter.

Airline catering services FAQ for Yopal (EYP)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Yopal (EYP)
What operations gets asked every week about Yopal.
Ask operations directly →When does airline catering cost get confirmed at SKYP?
When cabin count, specification and the loading window are set, we return a quotation rather than publish a fixed price list; charter and government work is quoted the same way once the mission is defined.
Which method moves airline catering airside at Yopal?
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart from our kitchen straight to the galley door, so airside delivery skips ground-level handoff entirely and the cart never sits exposed on the apron.
Is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs at Yopal Airport?
Our coordinator routes every private jet catering order to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Does EYP produce halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes?
Every SPML request is produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the main run, and halal and kosher trays are documented per passenger against the booking.
