Aviation catering — Nouadhibou, Mauritania
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Nouadhibou (GQPP / NDB)
NDB (IATA) · GQPP (ICAO)
The 2427 m runway at Nouadhibou takes narrow-body movements onto a single strip, and that single reference code is what our kitchen plans against for every scheduled, charter, VIP and government rotation through this station. Inflight catering here runs on one ops desk and airside delivery around the clock, with in-flight catering boarded to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

On the apron — Nouadhibou
Aviation catering with ramp access at GQPP
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Nouadhibou, Mauritania
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Nouadhibou airport
The loading window at Nouadhibou runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, and every stage of it depends on ramp access rather than on a delivery to the apron edge. Catering uplift here is staged against the single narrow-body reference code held at GQPP, which fixes how carts queue for the one stand in use. Nothing crosses the apron without a badge cleared for that pass, and nothing boards until the hi-loader is level with the door.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Nouadhibou sit screening, an escort across the apron, and whatever traffic the single runway is running that hour. We plan every galley catering uplift against the worst of those, not the best, because the worst is what a rotation actually meets on the ramp. The chain of custody starts at the seal on the cart and does not break until a signature closes it at the aircraft. Temperature is logged twice, once at sealing and once at handover, so the record matches the load at both ends. A named coordinator carries that record from the kitchen door to the galley door, and the same person signs it off.
The convoy is the risk on this ramp, never the food we load onto it.
Pilot meals prepared for GQPP / NDB rotations
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Nouadhibou (NDB)
The flight kitchen behind Nouadhibou runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed narrow-body rotations off a single runway rather than a wide spread of stands. Airport catering at NDB depends on that consolidation: one facility means one HACCP standard applied to every tray, whatever the mission on the loading sheet that day. Airport catering at GQPP is provisioned from that same kitchen, so a charter, a delegation and a scheduled sector are produced against the same cold chain on the same morning.
The team that handles government flight catering at this kitchen is the same named crew every rotation, not a roster drawn from whoever is on shift. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, and each is on the access list before a cart is ever sealed. They are trained to royal household standards as well as to airline tray specification, so a state delegation and a scheduled sector are handled by people already cleared for both, not briefed on the day.
VIP flight catering menus for Nouadhibou departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Nouadhibou, Mauritania
Menus at Nouadhibou are written to the cabin fitted and the mission flown, not to a single fixed cycle repeated regardless of aircraft. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce where the route allows it, fish and dairy from the Mauritanian coast worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish, and adjusted by season as supply changes. A VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu are built from the same kitchen but to different cabin counts and different service pace, one plated, one boxed for turnaround. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it reaches the cart, labelled to the seat it is meant for.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Nouadhibou are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for that operator, so a repeat rotation is served to the same presentation each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at NDB take multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready tray sets sized for the aircraft actually rostered that day. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger load, so cabin crew meals and flight-deck sets travel to specification without touching the main cabin trolley.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Nouadhibou are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical needs before a tray is ever built. Halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed apart from the standard inflight catering run before they leave the kitchen.

Flight catering airside delivery at GQPP
Nouadhibou runs narrow-body traffic off a single 2427 m runway, which means every rotation, whether scheduled, charter or occasional government movement, is worked through one stand rather than spread across parallel gates. That concentration turns each catering uplift into a sequencing problem before it is a volume problem: the kitchen has to be ready the moment the stand is free, not somewhere in a loading window either side of it.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by airside delivery straight to that stand, with our own crew handling the ramp leg rather than passing the cart through a third party at the apron edge. Airline catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here run off one ops desk, which is what keeps a diversion or an ad hoc order from becoming a second conversation on the day. Airport catering at Nouadhibou is planned stand by stand because there is only the one to plan against.
A single coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, whatever the mission on the sheet that day.
Charter flight catering and state missions at Nouadhibou (NDB)
01
Government and state flight catering at Nouadhibou
At the single stand held under the GQPP reference code, a head of state aircraft is worked to the same protocol file every time it lands here, not assembled fresh on the day. Government flight catering at Nouadhibou covers state visits and official delegations with the file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at GQPP
Working a single narrow-body stand means every household movement through Nouadhibou is sequenced against the same slot other traffic uses, so the specification has to be ready before the aircraft is. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household standard kept on file between movements, covering private airliners and VVIP configurations, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request at NDB.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at NDB
2427 metres of runway, which sets what a charter or ACMI operator can bring into Nouadhibou on a single rotation. Charter flight catering here covers wet-lease movements, group traffic and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift staged against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering in Mauritania run through this station follows the same galley layout every time.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Nouadhibou
A narrow-body airframe is what the single runway and stand at GQPP are built to turn, and that reference code is what lets a carrier run Nouadhibou as an outstation rather than a one-off diversion. Outstation catering and diversion catering are worked off the same duty roster as scheduled sectors, technical stop catering and AOG covered without a second booking process, crew meals boxed to the roster across a multi-leg rotation, and ad hoc airline catering confirmed the same day it is called in.

Private jet and FBO catering at GQPP
Our kitchen works the same single stand at Nouadhibou for business aviation as for every other movement through GQPP, so private jet catering at NDB reaches the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with no separate handling line.

“Our ops team used the service at Nouadhibou (NDB/GQPP) as an airline catering partner. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. Very convenient for operational coverage. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
