Airline and VIP Flight Catering Across Kenya

Kenya's traffic runs through a small set of wide-body gateways set against a wider network of narrow-body strips. Nairobi carries the country's longest runway at 4,117 metres and takes the bulk of scheduled and diplomatic movements. Mombasa, with two runways up to 3,350 metres, adds a second coastal gateway for wide-body work, while Kisumu and Eldoret extend wide-body reach inland and to the west, and Wajir carries a wide-body reference code in the north. Around them, fields such as Lamu, Malindi, Lokichogio, Nakuru, Kitale, Lodwar, Ol Tukai, Gathiuru, Serena and Kiwayu handle narrow-body and light traffic serving safari, mission and regional routes.

An uplift request enters through the ops desk, is matched to flight number, stand and aircraft type, and produced under cold chain control before being loaded planeside by hi-loader where the stand allows it. Airline catering companies working these fields coordinate with ground handling services already present on the apron, so a diversion or an ad hoc call is absorbed without breaking the production schedule. Airport catering here spans full three-cabin uplifts on the wide-body gateways and lighter crew and charter loads on the narrow-body strips, all run to the same specification regardless of field size.

Send the flight number, ETA, passenger and crew count per cabin, aircraft type and stand to the ops desk handling the station. Include special meal codes and any cargo or crew-only requirements at the same time, so the load is built against the correct specification before it reaches the apron. For diversions or ad hoc calls, the same details route the request straight into production. Once the specification is confirmed, submit a quote request and the assigned station coordinator takes it from there through to planeside delivery.
