How Aviation Catering Operates in Uganda
Uganda's aviation catering runs on a mixed traffic base: scheduled airline services into Entebbe, government and cross-border movements through Gulu, and lighter narrow-body traffic at Arua and Soroti. Entebbe carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code across two runways up to 3658 m, and Gulu holds a wide-body code on a single 3144 m runway, so a heavier aircraft has somewhere to land beyond the capital. An ops desk placing a request works from flight number, aircraft type and stand to build a load plan across whichever station is active. Cold chain is held from kitchen to ramp, with sealed transport for each leg between production and aircraft. Ground handling services at each field feed directly into the catering plan, so an uplift arrives sequenced to cabin class and boarding order rather than as a single delivery. Airline catering companies operating here work to the same specification whether the aircraft is on a scheduled rotation through Entebbe or a charter routed through Gulu, with the narrower fields at Arua and Soroti covered on the same terms. Airport catering capacity scales to the aircraft on stand, not to the size of the field.
