Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Berbérati, Central African Republic
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Berbérati (FEFT / BBT)
BBT (IATA) · FEFT (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code governs the stand at Berbérati, and it sets the frame our crews load within: one wide-body-class hi-loader is not what boards here, so uplift is built to the airframe the runway allows. Our kitchen runs inflight catering and in-flight catering to that frame, staging trays to galley height before the ramp call, then boarding sequentially so the aviation catering leaving our door matches the cabin plan exactly.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Berbérati airport
Ramp access is what sets the pace of the loading window at Berbérati: our crews work from the apron side of the stand rather than staging at the foot of the aircraft. Carts move sealed from the kitchen door to the galley door on one continuous route, so the catering uplift is tracked rather than guessed at. The narrow-body reference code held here fixes how that route is sequenced, turn after turn.
Between our kitchen and the single stand at Berbérati sit a security check, an apron crossing and the traffic of a narrow-body turnaround, and the chain of custody has to survive all three. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest of those points rather than the average one, so a delayed screening never becomes a late galley. Every cart is sealed at the kitchen, logged for temperature, and the galley catering is only released against a signature taken at the aircraft door.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.
Pilot meals prepared for FEFT / BBT rotations
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Berbérati (BBT)
The flight kitchen provisioning Berbérati keeps hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, run to HACCP method from raw intake to sealed cart. Airport catering here is not split across separate premises: the same cold chain that holds a chilled tray at intake holds it through to the galley door. That consolidation is what lets airport catering at FEFT answer a scheduled request and a same-day charter change from the same production floor.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Berbérati is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled from general production. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access is limited to a checked list, and training runs to the standard a royal household expects of its own catering staff. That continuity is what keeps a sealed uplift traceable from the kitchen door to the aircraft, movement after movement.
VIP flight catering menus for Berbérati departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at FEFT / BBT
Menus at Berbérati are written to the cabin fitted that day and to the mission flying it, not to a fixed cycle repeated regardless. Central African Republic produce runs through the seasonal lines wherever it fits the specification — fruit, dairy, fish taken on the ordinary sourcing calendar rather than named as a feature. Inflight catering at BBT closes on documentation: allergen, halal and kosher sets are labelled per passenger and per cabin, filed against the same loading sheet as the tray count. A special meal is never a guess made at the galley; it is a line item decided before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Berbérati are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here travels sealed from our kitchen to the galley door, then plated stand-side to the same standard each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at FEFT run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the fitted aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew meals never share a tray with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Berbérati are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production. The full range of IATA special meal codes is produced on a separate line, so inflight catering here never crosses a religious or medical set with the general galley run.

Flight catering airside delivery at FEFT
Berbérati works a narrow-body reference code against a single runway, which means every rotation is planned individually rather than waved through a bank of parallel stands. Airline catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here answer to that same constraint: a delegation movement is a documentation exercise first, a scheduled turnaround is a sequencing exercise, and neither is treated as routine capacity to be filled.
Uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels the apron on one route to the stand, with our own cleared crew escorting the cart rather than handing it off at a perimeter gate. That single-route method is what lets airport catering at Berbérati stay on schedule even when the ramp itself is busy with unrelated ground handling.
We commit one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the aircraft door, whatever the mission flying that day.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at BBT
01
Government and state flight catering at BBT
A narrow-body aircraft carrying a delegation still boards through the galley door here, and the reference code held at Berbérati is what lets that aircraft be worked as government flight catering rather than as routine traffic. State visits and official movements travel with a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the cart, and a head of state movement handled to the same sealed standard as any other uplift.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Berbérati
At a station holding a single 1660 m runway, royal flight catering is worked to the airframe that runway actually takes, never assumed to be wide-body by default. Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and comparable VVIP configurations within that limit — are boarded to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request at Berbérati.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at FEFT
A single runway at Berbérati means charter flight catering is sequenced stand by stand rather than run across several movements at once, so ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions each get one dedicated loading slot. Charter flight catering in Central African Republic staged from this kitchen still delivers a full cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet before the cart leaves the door.

Airline and ad hoc catering at BBT
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand assignment at Berbérati, which is why ad hoc airline catering here is planned aircraft by aircraft rather than pulled from a shared wide-body pool. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering and diversion catering from the same kitchen, technical stop catering included, with crew meals boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at Berbérati
The runway here holds at 1660 metres, and that figure sets which business aviation types the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field actually receive. Private jet catering in Berbérati runs through our dedicated branch, delivered to the ramp handler on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We requested HACCP at Berbérati (BBT/FEFT) and the packaging worked very well onboard. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Ethan — Charter Operations Manager
“Our operation through Berbérati (BBT/FEFT) included a tech stop request at short notice. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Berbérati (BBT)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Berbérati
What operations gets asked every week about Berbérati.
Ask operations directly →How do you handle private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at FEFT?
FEFT is worked by our dedicated private jet catering branch, which delivers FBO catering to every operator on the field rather than to one address, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Given the single stand at Berbérati, do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
There is airside delivery direct to the stand at Berbérati: airline catering moves by sealed cart along one escorted route, and where the airframe takes it, boarding runs to galley height by hi-loader rather than being left at the foot of the aircraft.
Which lead time applies for an order at Berbérati Airport, and how late can the specification still change?
The cart is built against the loading sheet up to the loading window itself, so how far in advance you confirm cabin count matters more than a fixed cutoff; last minute airline catering changes are taken as late as the sealed cart allows.
What halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes do you produce at BBT, and how are they documented?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of SPML codes on a separate line, with every special meal documented per passenger and filed against the same loading sheet as the rest of the cart.
