Aviation catering — Moundou, Chad
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Moundou (FTTD / MQQ)
MQQ (IATA) · FTTD (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets what boards at Moundou, and inflight catering here is built around that limit rather than against it. AERO GOURMET runs in-flight catering to the stand by hi-loader, sealed at galley height, so wide-body-style uplift discipline still governs every rotation this field takes.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Moundou, Chad
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Moundou airport
What happens between our kitchen and the aircraft at Moundou is sequenced, not improvised: a sealed cart leaves production, clears the ramp on our own badges, and reaches the galley door in the order the loading sheet sets. Ramp access is the step that decides the rest of the catering uplift, because nothing boards until it is granted, so the apron crossing is planned before the cart is even packed. Every leg of that route, from apron gate to aircraft door, answers to the same written sequence, at MQQ and on every rotation after it.
The convoy between our kitchen and the stand is the part of a catering uplift that actually carries risk, not the food inside it: screening, an escort and apron traffic all sit on that short run, and we plan against the worst of the three rather than the best. That planning is what chain of custody means in practice here, and it is held the same way whatever the mission behind the flight.
Temperature is logged twice on every galley catering run: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, again at handover on the stand, with both readings kept against the same reference. A signature closes each load at the aircraft door, naming who received it and when, so the record runs unbroken from seal to handover on every rotation through this station.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving FTTD / MQQ
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Moundou (MQQ)
Airport catering at FTTD runs from a single production line covering hot service, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, so a scheduled tray set and a household order are worked on the same floor rather than passed between separate premises. That structure is what lets airport catering at Moundou hold to HACCP across every stage from raw intake to sealed cart, without the handoffs a split site would force. The same flight kitchen at MQQ produces for narrow-body rotations and for ad hoc uplifts without changing the standard either side runs to.
The team assigned to government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from the wider floor. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access to the protocol cell is limited to that list, and training against royal household standards runs alongside the food-safety programme rather than apart from it. Continuity of that team is what a protocol officer is actually checking for when the file is reviewed.
VIP flight catering menus for Moundou departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Moundou, Chad
From passenger meal boxes to VVIP menus, the Moundou airline catering menu is written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed cycle. Chad's produce runs through it in general terms — dairy, river fish, orchard fruit — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish, so the same base ingredients can move between a scheduled tray and a household order. Inflight catering at MQQ is built this way deliberately: one kitchen, several cabin standards, adjusted by mission rather than by a separate menu for each. Every set carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical codes, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Moundou are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, so VIP flight catering here can move from a standing tray to caviar and à-la-carte service without changing kitchen. Presentation is filed against that standing order, checked before it leaves the cold larder.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MQQ take a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the airframe. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets, so the galley loads in one pass rather than several.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Moundou, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Moundou keeps that production on a separate line, sealed before it joins the rest of the uplift.

Flight catering airside delivery at FTTD
Moundou takes scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body reference code, which turns every delegation into a documentation task before it becomes anything else: passenger lists, protocol files and cabin counts have to be settled ahead of the aircraft rather than worked out on the ramp. Airline catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at FTTD all run off the one ops desk for that reason, so a repeat rotation is planned once and simply replayed rather than rebuilt each time it returns.
Uplift reaches the aircraft here by sealed cart from our own kitchen, escorted across the apron to the stand and boarded through the galley door on our own equipment. Airport catering at MQQ is planned stand by stand rather than gate by gate, with ramp access held on badges we control rather than borrowed for the day.
One coordinator carries each rotation from seal to signature, with the handover recorded at the aircraft door before the cart leaves our custody.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Moundou
01
Government and state flight catering at MQQ
The 1800-metre runway at Moundou takes the government and state movements this station is scheduled for, without requiring a longer strip to hold the mission. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed at the kitchen well before a head of state aircraft is due on the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Moundou
A private airliner configured for household use still clears Moundou's narrow-body reference code, which is what lets royal flight catering run here without a dedicated wide-body stand. VVIP movements — BBJ, ACJ and comparable private airliners — are held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other royal household requirements produced against it on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at FTTD
At Moundou, the 1800-metre runway sets the class of charter aircraft this station actually turns around, and charter flight catering is planned against that limit rather than a generic capacity figure. ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions all draw a full cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, with charter flight catering at MQQ staged in the order the galleys are laid out.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MQQ
Our kitchen at Moundou works to the narrow-body reference code held here, which sets the cabin configuration every uplift is built against before a single tray is packed. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the one duty roster, with AOG covered on the same standing specification across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Moundou
A single narrow-body reference code at Moundou means every loading plan has to be sequenced around one stand rather than several, which is exactly the constraint business aviation traffic here is worked within. Private jet catering in Chad reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, coordinated by our dedicated business aviation branch.

“For a government operation through Moundou (MQQ/FTTD), we required discreet government flight catering. Communication was discreet, changes were handled calmly, and the delivery was coordinated exactly within the agreed window. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Karim — Charter Dispatch Manager
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Moundou (MQQ/FTTD) and booked ACJ catering for the sector. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. A very smooth experience for the cabin team. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Zain — Airport Duty Manager
“We arranged hajj charter catering for a group movement through Moundou (MQQ/FTTD). The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
