Aviation catering — Cajamarca, Peru
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Cajamarca (SPJR / CJA)
CJA (IATA) · SPJR (ICAO)
At Cajamarca (SPJR), a wide-body reference code sets the aerodrome's aircraft envelope, and AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering built to fill it, one wide-body stand at a time. In-flight catering here means hi-loader boarding straight to the galley door, so an uplift never sits on the ramp waiting for a cart.

On the apron — Cajamarca
Inflight catering with hi-loader boarding at Cajamarca (CJA)
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Cajamarca (CJA)
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at SPJR
The loading window at Cajamarca runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the stand, and it is held to that path rather than to a clock alone. Ramp access is ours to plan, not the operator's to chase, so the sequence from apron to aircraft stays fixed even when the rotation shifts. Each catering uplift at SPJR is logged at both ends of that path, which is what makes the window something we can defend to an ops desk.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Cajamarca sit screening, an escort through airside, and apron traffic that a single wide-body movement can reshuffle in minutes. We plan the galley catering run against the worst of those three, not the average of them, because the convoy is where a catering uplift is actually put at risk, not the food inside it.
Chain of custody is kept the same way on every rotation: a sealed cart leaves the kitchen against a logged time, and the galley receiving it signs against that same log. Temperature is read at the seal and read again at handover, so the record that reaches the ops desk covers the whole route, not just the kitchen end of it.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing in between unaccounted for.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for SPJR / CJA
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Cajamarca airport
The flight kitchen that provisions airport catering at Cajamarca (SPJR) runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, so a delegation order and a scheduled tray run move through the same building without competing for space. HACCP governs every one of those lines, which is what lets airport catering at CJA hold a single food-safety standard across a multi-class rotation. That structure is also why a flight kitchen serving this station can take on an ad hoc order without reshuffling a standing one.
The team that handles government flight catering at Cajamarca is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned by whoever is free that day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, each name sits on the access list for the sealed area, and each is trained to royal household standards as well as to a state protocol file. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking when they ask who touches the uplift.
Halal airline meals and special meals at SPJR / CJA
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at Cajamarca (CJA)
Menus at Cajamarca are written to the cabin and to the mission first, then adjusted for the season, so a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu drawn from the same kitchen never read as the same specification. Where the country's produce fits a route profile, we work from Peruvian dairy, orchard fruit and river fish in general terms, never naming a dish or a single grower. Inflight catering at Cajamarca is documented for allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. That labelling travels with the tray set, not with a separate sheet that can go missing on the ramp.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Cajamarca are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than assumed by default. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same read every time, not reinterpreted crew by crew.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SPJR run a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets, boxed separately and matched to the roster rather than bundled into the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Cajamarca are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets built to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering produced against those codes runs on a separate line at the kitchen and is sealed there before it ever reaches the convoy to CJA.

Flight catering airside delivery at CJA
A wide-body reference code sets what Cajamarca can take on its single runway, and that single-runway layout means every wide-body movement is planned individually rather than absorbed into a bank of parallel arrivals. A delegation lands here as a documentation problem before it is a volume one, and a peak charter wave is a capacity problem worked against the same one strip.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader straight to galley height, run from our kitchen to the stand under an escort through the airside checkpoint. Airline catering in Peru is built around that single path: one coordinator plans the convoy timing against the runway's own traffic rather than against a generic lead time.
Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Cajamarca run off that one ops desk, with airport catering at CJA planned rotation by rotation rather than by a fixed daily schedule. What we commit to on this stand is one named coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, the same on a scheduled service as on an ad hoc charter.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Cajamarca airport
01
Government and state flight catering at SPJR
The runway here measures 2,500 metres, and that figure sets which head of state aircraft can be worked on it without a length waiver being the first conversation. Government flight catering at Cajamarca for state visits and official delegations is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and sealed at the kitchen at CJA before the convoy ever reaches the stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at CJA
We hold private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — to a written household specification kept on file between movements, which is what the wide-body reference code at Cajamarca is built to receive. Royal flight catering at SPJR runs on that same file, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assumed.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Cajamarca
A wide-body reference code governs the stands at Cajamarca, and it is that code, not the operator's fleet type, that decides whether a group charter boards here at full three-cabin volume. Charter flight catering at CJA serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out; charter flight catering in Peru runs to that same sheet on every rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at SPJR
A single runway at Cajamarca means every ad hoc slot has to be worked around the scheduled traffic already holding it, which is exactly the constraint ad hoc airline catering here is planned against. Carriers running CJA as an outstation get outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals in Cajamarca boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at CJA
A private airliner or a business jet works the same wide-body-rated stands that a scheduled rotation uses at Cajamarca, which is why private jet catering at Cajamarca reaches the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift. FBO catering here is delivered to the FBOs on the field rather than to one preferred handler, and the private-jet branch runs it after the commercial schedule, never ahead of it.

“We arranged sports team charter catering for the group at Cajamarca (CJA/SPJR) after a late schedule update. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. The crew was happy with the organization. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

“We ordered cargo airline catering for a cargo rotation through Cajamarca (CJA/SPJR). They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. A reliable option for cargo operations. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Airline catering services FAQ for SPJR / CJA
Diversion catering and ramp questions at SPJR / CJA
What operations gets asked every week about Cajamarca.
Ask operations directly →When can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at SPJR?
When a business aviation movement is confirmed on the field, FBO catering is delivered to the GA terminal on the same schedule as an airline uplift, no separate lead time required.
Where in Cajamarca are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced and documented?
The passenger record carries every special meal code against the passenger it belongs to, and halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line at our kitchen before they are sealed for the convoy.
Is there a fixed lead time for placing an order at Cajamarca Airport?
The coordinator on duty confirms how far in advance a standing order needs to be placed and how late the specification can still move, since a scheduled rotation and a diversion are worked to different windows.
Which protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at CJA?
The sealed cart leaves our kitchen under an access-listed escort and reaches the aircraft by hi-loader, with the same route used for VIP flight catering and for government flight catering alike.
What does airline catering cost at SPJR?
We quote against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than publishing a price list, so the desk comes back with a figure once those three are confirmed.
How is airline catering delivered airside at Cajamarca, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Cajamarca is worked by hi-loader boarding straight to galley height, with airside delivery run under escort from our kitchen to the stand rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
