How Aviation Catering Operates in Mauritius
Mauritius sits on a single main traffic axis: Plaine Magnien carries the wide-body movements, a 3370 m runway and an aerodrome reference code built for long-haul airline and charter aircraft. Port Mathurin, on Rodrigues, serves narrow-body and inter-island traffic on a shorter field. Between them they set the profile of the country's airline catering: one gateway built for scheduled wide-body and charter volume, one regional field built for turnarounds.
A request reaches the ops desk as a standard data set — flight number, aircraft type, stand, pax and crew count per cabin — and is built into a load against the aircraft's own turnaround window. Airport catering at this scale runs on cold chain discipline from the production kitchen to the galley door, with HACCP records held against every tray set that leaves the building.
JET PRIME operates as the FBO at Plaine Magnien, giving business aviation the same ground infrastructure the airline side uses. Airline catering companies serving Mauritius work from that single wide-body gateway outward, so a request for scheduled, charter or private aircraft moves through the same ground handling services and the same ramp.

Ordering Airline Catering: Mauritius
Send the request to the ops desk with flight number, ETA, aircraft type and stand, plus pax and crew count broken out by cabin — First, Business and main cabin — and any special meal codes required. Government, royal and charter movements should also carry the coordinator contact for that leg. The desk builds the load against your aircraft's turnaround window and confirms tray sets, crew meal boxes and any dietary codes before the uplift is built. For scheduled, VIP, charter or private jet catering in Mauritius, submit these details through the quote request to get the load confirmed against your stand.
