Aviation catering — Corisco Island, Equatorial Guinea
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Corisco Island (FGCO / OCS)
OCS (IATA) · FGCO (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held at Corisco Island governs a single runway of 3,115 metres, wide enough for a full three-cabin uplift boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height, not left at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering here runs from one flight kitchen off the apron, so aviation catering and in-flight catering share the same ramp access, the same cold chain and the same escorted route to the stand, aircraft after aircraft.

Wide-body aviation catering at FGCO
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Corisco Island
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, FGCO / OCS
Every catering uplift at Corisco Island moves on a fixed sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the apron, and boarded through ramp access rather than left at the aircraft door. The same sequence holds whether the stand carries a scheduled rotation or a single charter movement. Nothing in the window is estimated; each stage is logged as it happens, at OCS and at the aircraft alike.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Corisco Island sit screening, an escort through airside, and apron traffic sharing the single runway's approach; we plan the galley catering uplift against the worst of that, not the best. The convoy carrying the load is the variable we manage, because the food itself is sealed and stable long before it reaches FGCO. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, chain of custody unbroken between the two readings, and the load is signed for at the aircraft, not assumed delivered.
One coordinator carries the load from sealed kitchen to signed handover at the aircraft door.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving OCS
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for FGCO / OCS
The flight kitchen that provisions Corisco Island runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to seal. Airport catering at OCS depends on that single kitchen rather than on a network of outstations, so cold chain, documentation and loading all trace back to one production floor. Airport catering in Corisco Island is therefore planned as one continuous operation, not a set of separate handoffs between suppliers.
The team that handles government flight catering at Corisco Island is the same named crew every rotation, carried on the access list with security clearance on file rather than assigned ad hoc. They are trained to household service standards as well as to airline tray-set specification, so a royal movement and a scheduled sector draw on the same discipline. Catering at FGCO is signed off by that crew alone, load after load.
VIP flight catering menus for FGCO departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Corisco Island
Inflight catering in Corisco Island is written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed print run, so a menu cycle can move while the tray standard behind it does not. Where local sourcing is possible, the kitchen draws on the country's fish, orchard fruit and dairy for main-cabin and premium sets alike, without naming a single supplier or dish. Special meal sets sit alongside the standard run: halal, kosher, vegan, gluten free and the full IATA special meal code list, produced to order rather than held as a fallback. Every one of those sets is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen, so the crew boarding it never has to guess.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Corisco Island draw on VIP flight catering plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Presentation is filed against the standing order for the route, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard each time it lands.
Business cabins
Business cabins at FGCO run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft using it. Crew meals travel the same load: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, at Corisco Island as on every rotation we work.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Corisco Island are documented per passenger rather than guessed at boarding: household and religious sets, medical diets, and the full run of IATA special meal codes. Halal and kosher trays are produced on a separate line and sealed before that line closes, and inflight catering here is built around that documentation, not around it.

Flight catering airside delivery at Corisco Island (OCS)
Corisco Island carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body stand, which turns every delegation into a documentation problem and every peak movement into a sequencing one rather than a capacity one spread across several gates. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here run off one ops desk rather than several, because the field itself gives us only one stand to plan against.
The uplift travels from our flight kitchen across the apron and onto the aircraft by ramp access, never handed over at the foot of the stairs; airline catering at OCS is loaded by hi-loader to galley height, with our own crew escorted the whole route. Airport catering in Corisco Island is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, because the stand is the constraint the rest of the operation is built around.
One coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover are what we commit to on every rotation here, whatever the traffic mix on the day.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at FGCO / OCS
01
Government and state flight catering at FGCO
A single runway of 3,115 metres carries the wide-body movements a head of state aircraft uses when it lands at Corisco Island, and that scale is what lets government flight catering here run to a documented protocol rather than an improvised one. Security-cleared staff seal the uplift before it leaves the kitchen, with the protocol file carried per passenger from load to handover.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at OCS
Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — are what the 3,115 metre runway at Corisco Island is built to receive, and royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt each time. Halal and household dietary requirements are produced on request, on the same cleared line as every other uplift at OCS.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Corisco Island
On the single wide-body stand at Corisco Island, a 3,115 metre runway is what allows a full three-cabin uplift to be staged and counted against the loading sheet before an ACMI or wet-lease operator's aircraft is called forward. Charter flight catering in Corisco Island covers group movements and special missions alike, and charter flight catering at FGCO is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, multi-leg rotations included.

Airline and ad hoc catering at FGCO
The wide-body reference code held at Corisco Island lets our crews plan outstation catering and diversion catering on the same stand a scheduled rotation uses, rather than routing them through a separate facility. Carriers running OCS as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed to the same rotation in Corisco Island and across Equatorial Guinea alike.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at OCS
A single wide-body stand at Corisco Island has to be sequenced around whichever movement, airline or business aviation, is called to it first, and that sequencing is what our dedicated branch plans against when it delivers private jet catering in Corisco Island to the GA terminal. Business aviation catering and business jet catering reach the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, FBO catering included.

It made the station much easier to manage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at FGCO
Crew meals, lead times and access at FGCO
What operations gets asked every week about Corisco Island.
Ask operations directly →Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Corisco Island, and under what protocol?
Yes, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under a documented protocol here, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift for every movement.
With one wide-body stand governing the ramp, how much does airline catering cost at OCS?
There is no published price list; airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a quotation against those.
What lead time does FGCO need for an order, and how late can the specification still change?
We work to a stated lead time for the initial order and take last minute airline catering changes up to a fixed cut-off before the loading window opens.
Corisco Island — do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart from our kitchen across the apron and lifts it to galley height, so airside delivery here never stops at the foot of the stairs.
Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Corisco Island?
A single GA terminal and the FBOs on the field are both served from the same kitchen, on the same cold chain as any airline uplift, FBO catering included.
How are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced and documented at OCS?
OCS uplifts carry halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line, with the full run of SPML codes documented per passenger before the load is sealed.
