Aviation catering — Paraguaná, Venezuela
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Paraguaná (SVJC / LSP)
LSP (IATA) · SVJC (ICAO)
A single wide-body reference code at Paraguaná sets the terms for every rotation: hi-loaders reach galley height on the same stand a scheduled aircraft uses, and inflight catering moves straight from cart to door without a ramp handoff. AERO GOURMET runs in-flight catering and uplift for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights out of SVJC, one ops desk covering the airside work behind that single runway.

On the apron — Paraguaná
Wide-body aviation catering at SVJC / LSP
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
In-flight catering loading window at Paraguaná airport
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at LSP
What happens between our kitchen and the aircraft at Paraguaná is measured, not promised: a sealed cart leaves the kitchen, crosses the apron under escort, and reaches the galley door on a timed run. Ramp access is held for that whole run rather than granted stand by stand, so the catering uplift is never queued behind another vehicle crossing the same apron. That single runway concentrates arrivals into narrow windows, and the loading plan at LSP is built around holding the ramp through each one.
The convoy is the risk, not the food: between our kitchen and the stand at Paraguaná sit screening, an escorted crossing and apron traffic sharing the same movement area as the aircraft. We plan every galley catering run against the worst of those three, not the average of them, so a delay on the apron does not become a delay at the galley door. Chain of custody starts at the seal and does not break until the load is signed for. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, and the catering uplift only closes once both readings and the signature are on file.
One seal, one escort, one signature: the load is accounted for door to door.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Paraguaná (LSP)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for SVJC
The flight kitchen that provisions Paraguaná keeps hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, so a delegation order and a standard rotation move through the same building without competing for space. HACCP governs every stage from receiving to sealing, and the cold chain is held from the larder to the cart rather than restarted at the ramp. Airport catering at SVJC is planned against that one building, and airport catering at LSP never splits across a second site mid-rotation.
The team that handles government flight catering at Paraguaná is the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for a single movement. Security clearance is on file for each of them, they sit on the access list for the airside route, and they are trained to royal household standards as well as airline ones. That consistency is the point: the same hands sealing a standard tray set are the ones cleared for a sealed uplift the following week.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Paraguaná, Venezuela
VVIP catering written per mission at Paraguaná airport
Menus at Paraguaná are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, because a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu drawn from the same kitchen still need different plating and different timing off the same loading window. Where the country's produce works into a tray set, we draw on it in general terms, orchard fruit, dairy and fish worked into the cycle rather than named as a dish. Inflight catering at Paraguaná is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets before the cart is sealed, not adjusted at the aircraft. That documentation travels with the load, cabin by cabin, so a crew checking a tray against a manifest finds the same information at the galley door that was logged in the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Paraguaná: VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order at LSP so a repeat rotation is plated the same way twice.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SVJC run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the fitted galley, boxed and loaded in the sequence the crew works the aisle. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, sealed and logged apart from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Paraguaná: halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, produced on a separate line before sealing. Inflight catering in Venezuela handled this way keeps every coded meal traceable back to the passenger it was written for.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Paraguaná
Paraguaná runs on a single wide-body-rated runway, which means the traffic through LSP is concentrated rather than spread across parallel movements: a delegation arrival is a documentation problem here as much as a scheduling one, and a peak wave tests capacity on one stand rather than several. Airline catering at LSP is planned around that concentration, with aviation catering in Paraguaná and airport catering at SVJC run off the same ops desk rather than split by segment.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by a fixed route from the kitchen to the ramp, sealed carts held under escort across the apron and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the stairs. Ramp access is booked for the whole run, and the loading crew that meets the aircraft is the same crew that sealed the cart. Inflight catering at SVJC moves on that one route regardless of the mission behind it.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover before the aircraft is released.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at SVJC
01
Government and state flight catering at Paraguaná
We run government flight catering at Paraguaná on the same 2,800 metre runway that takes every other movement here, so a state visit is worked through the ramp rather than a separate facility. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff on the load are security-cleared, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state aircraft moving through catering at LSP.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SVJC
A 2,800 metre runway at Paraguaná takes the private airliners this work depends on, BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP among them, without a second stand needed. Royal flight catering here runs from a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request under the same royal household standard each time.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LSP
Wide-body aircraft board here because the aerodrome reference code at Paraguaná is rated for them, which is what lets an ACMI or wet-lease operator bring a full three-cabin load onto a single stand. Charter flight catering in Paraguaná covers group movements and special missions counted against the loading sheet, with charter flight catering at SVJC staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Paraguaná
A 2,800 metre runway sets what can land at Paraguaná, and what lands here still needs ad hoc airline catering the same day it diverts. Carriers running LSP as an outstation get outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation. Crew meals at Paraguaná board on the same duty roster as the passenger load, and crew meals in Paraguaná never wait on a separate order.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at SVJC
On the same wide-body-rated field that takes scheduled and charter traffic, business aviation is worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than a separate facility. Private jet catering in Paraguaná runs on that footprint, delivered on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“I asked for HACCP at Paraguaná (LSP/SVJC) because we had limited time to reset the galley. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Zara — VIP Flight Operations Manager
“We had an outstation requirement at Paraguaná (LSP/SVJC) and the coordination was very smooth. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Adrian — Duty Operations Manager
“For our business jet at Paraguaná (LSP/SVJC), I arranged private jet menu with a few passenger-specific requests. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Inflight catering questions at Paraguaná, Venezuela
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Paraguaná, Venezuela
What operations gets asked every week about Paraguaná.
Ask operations directly →Can halal, kosher and special meals be produced with IATA SPML codes at LSP?
Halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger, and the full range of special meal codes is coded to that same manifest before sealing.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at SVJC?
Yes, by routing every order through the FBO catering process to the GA terminal on the field, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Given the single wide-body stand at Paraguaná, is VIP, VVIP and government flight catering handled under protocol here?
There is a standing protocol file for VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike, security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift on every movement.
How far in advance does an order need to be placed at Paraguaná Airport?
Paraguaná Airport takes standing orders well ahead of a rotation, and the specification can still change closer to departure than the lead time on a first booking.
How far does airline catering at LSP reach onto the ramp, and how does the uplift board?
The hi-loader clearance held for this station lets airline catering move by airside delivery straight to the galley door, boarded by hi-loader rather than handed off at the stairs.
