Aviation catering — Antisiranana, Madagascar
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Antisiranana (FMNA / DIE)
DIE (IATA) · FMNA (ICAO)
The narrow-body reference code held at Antisiranana sets a loading plan around one runway and one working stand, sequenced rather than run in parallel. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, boarding by hi-loader to galley height and building every uplift around that single sequence.

Wide-body inflight catering at Antisiranana
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at DIE
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at FMNA / DIE
Ramp access governs the sequence at Antisiranana, where one working stand means every catering uplift is planned around a single slot rather than several running at once. The apron here carries no parallel loading, so the sealed cart moves from our kitchen to the galley door on a fixed order agreed with the ramp before wheels-in. That order, not a printed duration, is what the loading window at DIE actually measures.
Between our kitchen and the single working stand at Antisiranana sit screening, an escort and whatever else is moving on the apron that hour, and a narrow-body reference code leaves no room to route around any of it. We plan the catering uplift against the worst case on that apron, not the best one, so a delay elsewhere on the field does not reach the galley door late. Temperatures are logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and again at handover, and the chain of custody closes with a signature that names who carried it and who received it, which is what galley catering has to prove on a field with only one stand to work from.
One stand, one sequence, one signature: that is the whole loading window at DIE.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for DIE
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for FMNA / DIE
Galley-ready is the standard the production line at Antisiranana is held to, run under HACCP procedure from intake through to the sealed cart that leaves for the stand. With a narrow-body reference code and one working stand, airport catering here is planned as a single sequence rather than several loads running in parallel, and that sequence is what the kitchen is built around. Airport catering at DIE therefore turns less on floor space than on timing: the flight kitchen at DIE holds the cold chain from the cold larder to the galley door on that one fixed sequence.
The team behind government flight catering at Antisiranana is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the household standards a royal or state movement is held to. With one working stand and a narrow-body reference code, there is no second crew to fall back on if a rotation shifts, so continuity sits with people rather than with spare capacity. Every sealed uplift carries the same signed chain of custody from kitchen to aircraft, whoever is on the movement.
Aviation catering menus and special meals for FMNA
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Antisiranana
Menus at Antisiranana are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled sector, a charter and a government movement are not served from the same plan. Inflight catering here draws on produce from Madagascar where the facts allow it — dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into a seasonal rotation rather than a single fixed menu. Because the working stand takes one aircraft at a time, kitchen output is planned to that single sequence rather than to overlapping loads. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that same written record.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Antisiranana are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the movement and checked against it before the cart is sealed.
Business cabins
Business cabins at FMNA take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, distinct from the passenger tray sets loaded at Antisiranana.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at DIE are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the rest of the load, this is inflight catering built around a written record rather than a verbal request.

Flight catering airside delivery at Antisiranana (DIE)
Per rotation, Antisiranana runs on a single working stand and one runway, so scheduled, charter and government traffic through DIE share the same sequence rather than parallel loading lanes. That narrow-body reference code means a delegation arriving alongside a scheduled sector is a scheduling problem before it is anything else, and it is worked as one.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, boarded to the aircraft door under ground handling on the apron; airline catering in Antisiranana and aviation catering in Madagascar both run off the same fixed sequence rather than a choice of stands. Airport catering in Madagascar depends on that same discipline wherever the runway count is this tight.
One coordinator holds the movement from seal to signature, whatever the mix of flights that day, and in-flight catering at Antisiranana and inflight catering at Antisiranana are both delivered against that single named handover.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Antisiranana
01
Government and state flight catering at DIE
Working from a single stand and a 1,500 metre runway, our kitchen at Antisiranana treats every delegation movement as its own sequence rather than folding it into the day's scheduled traffic. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement routed through this stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Antisiranana
A narrow-body reference code governs what boards at Antisiranana, and it still carries VVIP and royal flight catering for private airliners on a written household specification kept on file between movements. BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations are held to that same standing document, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against it on request rather than improvised on the day.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at FMNA
Narrow-body aircraft are what the reference code at Antisiranana lets us board, and that ceiling is exactly what group charters, ACMI and wet-lease movements through DIE are planned against. Charter flight catering at Antisiranana covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift staged to the loading sheet, and charter flight catering in Antisiranana is counted against that sheet before the galley doors close.

Airline and ad hoc catering at DIE
The runway at Antisiranana measures 1,500 metres, which sets a narrow-body ceiling on the traffic this ramp turns and shapes every uplift plan around it. Ad hoc airline catering here covers carriers running DIE as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering worked off one duty roster; AOG requests sit on the same sequence, crew meals at DIE boxed alongside the passenger load across a multi-leg rotation, and ad hoc catering at FMNA held to the same tray standard from cycle to cycle. Crew meals in Antisiranana travel on that same sealed cart to the stand.

Private jet and FBO catering at Antisiranana
On a field held to a narrow-body reference code, the GA terminal and the stand-side apron take business aviation on the same sequence as scheduled traffic rather than a separate one. Private jet catering at FMNA reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all held to that one standard.

“We used the team at Antisiranana (DIE/FMNA) for diversion catering after an unexpected operational change. Confirmation was quick, the order stayed clear despite several updates, and delivery reached the aircraft on time. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Olivia — Charter Account Manager
“We needed catering for airlines without flight kitchen for a flight through Antisiranana (DIE/FMNA) and the process was much easier than expected. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Nina — Airline Cargo Coordinator
“We requested an airline catering quote for Antisiranana (DIE/FMNA) and appreciated how clear the pricing was. Pricing, delivery timing, and packaging were all explained upfront, which helped us approve the uplift quickly. The clear communication made the booking easy. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at FMNA
What operations gets asked every week about Antisiranana.
Ask operations directly →Is airline catering delivered airside at Antisiranana?
Our coordinator moves every load airside by sealed cart from the kitchen to the stand, with hi-loader boarding used to reach galley height on the aircraft.
Who signs off VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at Antisiranana Airport?
For any head of state, royal household or delegation movement, protocol is documented per passenger and the uplift is cleared and sealed by our own named coordinator before it leaves the kitchen.
Does airline catering cost the same for every flight at DIE?
Every quotation is priced against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window for that rotation, since we publish no fixed price list; the desk comes back with a figure once those are known.
FMNA — how far in advance do you need the order, and how late can it change?
The sealed cart is what carries the final specification to the stand, so lead time depends on the loading window agreed for that rotation, and last minute airline catering changes are taken up to the point the cart is sealed.
