Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at El Borma (EBM)
The loading window at El Borma runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the apron, and it is timed rather than promised. Ramp access at DTTR is held on our own clearance, so the catering uplift moves straight to the aircraft instead of waiting at a handover point short of the stand. Every load leaving the kitchen carries a departure time it is built against, not a target it aims for.
Between our kitchen and the stand at El Borma sit screening, an escort through the airside gate, and apron traffic around the wide-body stand, and we plan the catering uplift against the slowest of the three rather than the fastest. Chain of custody runs on paper and on the cart itself: a seal fitted at the kitchen door, a temperature log opened at the same moment, and both carried unbroken to the galley. Whoever signs for the galley catering at handover is checking that seal against the log before a single tray moves, not after.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley: nothing moves unrecorded between them.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving El Borma
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for El Borma, Tunisia
The flight kitchen behind El Borma runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to hold the cold chain intact from plating to hi-loader. Airport catering at DTTR is planned to HACCP procedure at every stage, from raw intake through to the sealed cart leaving for the stand, rather than checked only at the end of the line. That single-site build is what lets airport catering at El Borma cover a scheduled rotation and a government movement from the same kitchen on the same morning.
The team behind government flight catering at El Borma is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned by shift. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household service standards a protocol desk expects before it will sign off a movement. That continuity is what a repeat charter or a state visit is actually buying, ahead of any single tray.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at EBM
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at DTTR / EBM
Menus at El Borma are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a single fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a government movement are never served off the same sheet. Tunisian sourcing runs through dairy, orchard fruit, olive oil and fish where the season allows it, worked into the specification rather than named as a dish. Inflight catering here closes on documentation as much as on the plate: allergen sets, halal and kosher requirements and medical diets are logged per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. That record travels with the load, so a query raised after departure has an answer on file rather than a guess.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at El Borma are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order held for each operator, so a repeat rotation through EBM is served to the same brief every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at DTTR run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to each aircraft, not to a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals never share a cart with the meal set served forward.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at DTTR are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal, kosher and household or medical diets alongside the full set of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line from the main service and closed out under its own log.

Airside airport catering at El Borma airport
The wide-body reference code held at this field shapes every load: a delegation arriving on short notice is a documentation problem before it is a kitchen one, and a scheduled rotation repeating week after week is a matter of holding the same tray count against the same loading sheet each time. Airline catering in Tunisia is planned to that mix rather than to a single traffic type, which is what lets a charter and a state movement share the same stand in the same week without either being treated as the exception.
Airside delivery at El Borma runs the sealed cart from our kitchen to the stand under our own ramp clearance, with the hi-loader taking it to galley height rather than leaving it at the aircraft door. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at EBM run off that one route and one desk, so a diversion or a late change is worked from the same ramp access rather than a separate arrangement. Airport catering in El Borma is planned stand by stand for that reason, not city-wide.
On every rotation through this station, one coordinator holds the load from seal to signature, so the handover at the aircraft closes the same record that opened at the kitchen door.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at DTTR / EBM
01
Government and state flight catering at DTTR
A head of state aircraft boarding at El Borma draws on the same wide-body reference code that clears a scheduled rotation, which is what lets the protocol file move as fast as the loading sheet. Government flight catering here runs on security-cleared staff and a cart sealed at the kitchen before it reaches the stand, with no name, delegation or date carried on the record we publish.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at EBM
At El Borma, the wide-body reference code held on the ramp is what allows a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP — to be worked on the same stand as a scheduled service. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced against that same record on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at El Borma
Staging a full three-cabin load against a single loading sheet is the constraint the 2700 m runway at El Borma sets for a charter rotation, since every aircraft using it is worked to the same wide-body reference code. Charter flight catering at EBM covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering in El Borma sequenced to the galley layout rather than to a fixed menu cycle.

Airline and ad hoc catering at DTTR
The wide-body reference code held at El Borma governs a full three-cabin load on every stand, which is what carriers running this station as an outstation actually book. Ad hoc airline catering at EBM covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with crew meals at El Borma boxed to the same roster and AOG handled across a multi-leg rotation without a separate arrangement.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at EBM
The runway here measures 2700 metres, which is enough to keep business aviation movements on the same ramp as the wide-body traffic rather than a separate corner of the field. Private jet catering at El Borma is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, run through our dedicated private-jet branch.

They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. Very convenient for operational coverage. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Alexander — Station Operations Manager
“Our team needed VIP flight catering in El Borma for a short-notice flight at EBM/DTTR. Communication was responsive and the team handled a late timing change without any issue. Good local support for a VIP operation. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Julien — Flight Experience Manager
“Our passenger profile required special meals at El Borma (EBM/DTTR), with several different dietary restrictions. Each item was clearly identified, separated from the standard meals, and easy to check before boarding. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Aircraft catering questions at DTTR
Diversion catering and ramp questions at EBM
What operations gets asked every week about El Borma.
Ask operations directly →At what point does an order for EBM need to be placed, and how late can the specification still change?
Lead time starts with the initial booking, but how far in advance it must be locked depends on the cabin count and the mission; last minute airline catering changes are still taken up to the loading window, not after it closes.
Is DTTR set up to handle VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The same named coordinator who runs a scheduled rotation also runs VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, working to a written protocol file rather than an ad hoc brief.
Does El Borma deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Every FBO and the GA terminal on this field receive FBO catering on the same cold chain and the same sealed handover as an airline uplift, with no separate route for business aviation.
When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at El Borma airport, and how does the uplift get on board?
Once the cart clears the kitchen seal, airside delivery runs it straight to the stand under our own ramp clearance, and the hi-loader takes it to galley height rather than the foot of the aircraft.
Who documents halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes for flights through EBM?
Across every cabin, halal, kosher and SPML-coded special meals are logged per passenger and produced on a separate line before the cart is sealed.
Where does the airline catering cost at DTTR come from, since no price list is published?
The loading sheet and cabin specification set the basis for a quotation, and the ops desk returns pricing against that record rather than a fixed rate card.
