Aviation catering — Caticlan, Philippines
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Caticlan (RPVE / MPH)
MPH (IATA) · RPVE (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the ceiling on what boards here, so every rotation at Caticlan is planned to that single stand rather than to a spare one. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and the wider aviation catering programme move by hi-loader to galley height, wide-body volume aside, with uplift staged from our kitchen to the aircraft door.

Inflight catering order window for Caticlan airport departures
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, MPH
Ramp access at Caticlan is the variable that decides the loading window, not the kitchen. Every cart clears the same apron sequence before it reaches the narrow-body stand, and the catering uplift is timed against that sequence rather than against a fixed clock. What the timeline below shows is the measured result of that single-stand routing, not an estimate.

Between our kitchen and the one stand worked at Caticlan sit screening, an escort and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway apron, and the chain of custody is planned against the busiest of those rather than the easiest. Each cart is sealed at the galley catering point before it leaves the kitchen, and the seal is checked again at the aircraft rather than assumed intact. Temperature is logged at both ends of that route, and the handover is closed with a signature rather than a verbal confirmation, so the catering uplift carries a written record end to end.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft door.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for Caticlan

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at RPVE
The flight kitchen that provisions Caticlan runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, feeding the single narrow-body stand worked at RPVE rather than a bank of gates. Airport catering here is built around that one route from oven to apron, and the same production line covers scheduled, charter and VIP rotations without switching kitchens between them. HACCP-run sections keep the cold chain intact from tray assembly to hi-loader, which is what airport catering at MPH is checked against on every audit.
The government flight catering team assigned to Caticlan is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and listed on the access roster rather than rotated in ad hoc. They are trained to household service standards as well as airline tray protocol, so a delegation and a scheduled sector are worked to the same discipline. Every sealed uplift leaving the kitchen at MPH travels with paperwork that matches that roster, cart for cart.
VIP flight catering menus for Caticlan, Philippines departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Caticlan airport
Menus at MPH are written to the cabin fitted to the aircraft and to the mission it flies, from a scheduled sector to a chartered rotation, rather than to a single fixed cycle. Local sourcing draws on the fish, dairy and orchard fruit of the region around Caticlan where the season allows it, worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Inflight catering in Philippines is planned to change week to week on the cycle while the tray standard behind it stays constant. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, filed against the loading sheet rather than left to memory.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Caticlan 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 at RPVE is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation is served to the same presentation each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at MPH run a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Tray sets and meal boxes cover crew meals in Philippines, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately and crew meals at RPVE rostered against the duty sheet.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for every departure from Caticlan, produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen. Halal and kosher sets sit alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, so inflight catering in Caticlan carries a written record for every SPML requested.

Compliance
Aircraft catering compliance at RPVE
Flight catering airside delivery at Caticlan
Caticlan carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body-rated runway, which means every arrival is worked to one stand rather than spread across a bank of gates. A delegation adds a documentation load, a peak wave adds a capacity load on that same stand, and a repeat charter rotation adds a repetition load the roster is built to absorb. Inflight catering at MPH runs off the one route between kitchen and apron that the airport's layout allows.
Carts leave the kitchen sealed and travel by an escorted route to the narrow-body stand, where a hi-loader lifts them to galley height rather than setting them down at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the apron coordinates that final approach so the cart arrives inside the loading window rather than ahead of the aircraft being ready. Airline catering at Caticlan and airport catering in Caticlan both run on that same escorted sequence.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts throughout, and a signed handover at the aircraft door, with in-flight catering at RPVE and aviation catering at MPH both held to that same written record.
