Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Al Hoceima, Morocco
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Al Hoceima (GMTA / AHU)
AHU (IATA) · GMTA (ICAO)
Our kitchen provisions Al Hoceima (GMTA / AHU) to the wide-body reference code the field is rated for, so a hi-loader clears the galley door on a single stand rather than a stack of ramp trolleys. That is what governs the uplift here: full three-cabin volume boarded to height, in-flight catering staged airside for scheduled, charter, government and inflight catering movements alike, with the same crew that runs a VIP rotation running the next scheduled one.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Al Hoceima (AHU)
Ramp access at Al Hoceima is held on our own clearance, not negotiated stand by stand, which is what lets the sealed cart move the moment the aircraft is chocked. From that point the catering uplift at GMTA runs on a fixed sequence rather than a guess: seal, convoy, apron transit, galley door. Every stage of that sequence is timed against the same clock, whichever cabin count the rotation carries.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Al Hoceima sit screening, an escorted convoy and apron traffic sharing the single runway's approach pattern, and the galley catering sequence is built to absorb the worst of any one of them rather than assume the best. Every catering uplift is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen door, once again at the handover to the loading crew at the aircraft. That second log carries a signature, which closes the chain of custody the galley acknowledges the load under and the file that stays on record for the rotation.
One coordinator owns the load from the sealed kitchen cart to the signed galley handover.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Al Hoceima
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Al Hoceima, Morocco
The flight kitchen at AHU runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, held to HACCP throughout, so a delegation movement and a scheduled rotation draw from the same cold chain without either one waiting on the other. Airport catering at Al Hoceima is planned from that single production floor rather than split across satellite units, which keeps the specification consistent from the first tray to the last. That same floor is what makes airport catering here repeatable across a multi-leg schedule rather than a one-off.
The team that handles government flight catering at Al Hoceima is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement is held to. That continuity is the point: the chain of custody on a sealed uplift is only as good as the people who are cleared to touch it.
VIP flight catering menus for AHU departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at GMTA / AHU
Menus at Al Hoceima are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a VVIP movement can draw on the same kitchen without either being handed a generic tray. Where local sourcing is used, it runs on regional produce in general terms — orchard fruit, dairy, fresh fish from the coast — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish. Every set is labelled per passenger and per cabin against documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, filed before the cart is sealed. That inflight catering discipline is what keeps a multi-leg rotation consistent from one sector to the next.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Al Hoceima are plated to a written specification rather than an off-the-shelf tray, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. Every element of the plate is checked against that specification before the cart leaves the kitchen, and the same standing order governs VIP flight catering on the next rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at GMTA run on multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft at AHU. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew never draw from the passenger set.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Al Hoceima are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed: halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and household or medical requirements carried on file between rotations. Every one of those sets is produced on a separate line, sealed apart from the main run, for inflight catering that a protocol officer can check against the passenger list.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Al Hoceima airport
Al Hoceima carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single runway, and that mix sets the planning problem for every uplift: a state delegation is a documentation exercise, a charter peak is a capacity exercise, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a repetition exercise, each worked differently from the same kitchen. Airline catering in Al Hoceima is planned stand by stand rather than assumed constant across the day.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, with our own crew on the ramp for the transfer rather than a handoff at the foot of the stairs. That sequence carries in-flight catering at Al Hoceima and aviation catering in Morocco through the same ramp handling regardless of which stand the aircraft is parked on, with airport catering staged against the loading sheet before the cart ever leaves the kitchen door.
On every stand at Al Hoceima, one coordinator owns the load, the cart travels sealed, and the handover carries a signature.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Al Hoceima, Morocco
01
Government and state flight catering at Al Hoceima
A head of state aircraft on the wide-body reference code held at Al Hoceima boards through the same galley door as a scheduled service, which is what lets government flight catering here run on protocol rather than improvisation. Delegations and official movements are documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared personnel, and sealed before the cart leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at GMTA
At the head of the single runway rated to wide-body standard, the 3204 metre length at Al Hoceima is what lets a private airliner operate here on the same terms as a scheduled wide-body. Royal flight catering and VVIP movements — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP — are held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at AHU
A full three-cabin load has to be sequenced against a single runway and one wide-body reference code, which is the constraint every charter movement at Al Hoceima is planned around. Charter flight catering at GMTA and charter flight catering in Morocco cover ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet before the first cart moves.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Al Hoceima
The wide-body reference code held at Al Hoceima sets what a carrier running this station as an outstation can actually load, not just what it can park. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all draw on that same rated capacity, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation and crew meals in Al Hoceima and crew meals in Morocco boxed to the same duty roster as the passenger set.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at GMTA
The runway here runs 3204 metres, long enough that business aviation shares the same wide-body-rated ramp as scheduled and charter traffic rather than a separate strip. Private jet catering at GMTA reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“For a last-minute requirement at Al Hoceima (AHU/GMTA), we contacted them as our airline ops catering supplier. One contact handled the order from confirmation through delivery, which saved our dispatch team a lot of follow-up. It made the station much easier to manage. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Giorgio — Cabin Operations Lead
“Our team needed private jet catering in Al Hoceima for a short-notice flight at AHU/GMTA. Everything arrived fresh, well presented, and easy for the cabin crew to organize before boarding. Good local support for a VIP operation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Ibrahim — Special Missions Coordinator
“We had several special meals on our order at Al Hoceima (AHU/GMTA) and everything was handled correctly. All requirements were followed and the cabin crew could see immediately which meal belonged to which passenger. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at AHU
Diversion catering and ramp questions at AHU
What operations gets asked every week about Al Hoceima.
Ask operations directly →Can GMTA produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes, and how are they documented?
Every SPML request, along with halal and kosher sets, is produced on a separate line and logged per passenger before the cart leaves the kitchen.
Al Hoceima — how much does airline catering cost at this station?
The loading equipment and the hi-loader slot booked for the rotation are the first line of any quotation; beyond that, cabin count, specification and the loading window all set the final figure, so we do not publish a price list and the desk comes back with a quotation once those are known.
How far in advance does Al Hoceima need a catering order, and how late can the specification still change?
Al Hoceima works to a lead time set by the loading window rather than a fixed calendar date, so a standard rotation is booked well ahead while last minute airline catering changes to counts or special meals can still be absorbed close to departure if the kitchen is told in time.
How far does airline catering reach on the ramp at AHU, and is it delivered airside?
Ramp access here is held on our own clearance, which means the hi-loader takes the cart straight to the galley door rather than handing it off at the foot of the aircraft.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at GMTA?
Yes, through FBO catering on the same cold chain and the same sealed paperwork as an airline uplift, reaching every FBO on the field rather than one alone.
