Aviation catering — Mambajao, Philippines
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Mambajao (RPMH / CGM)
CGM (IATA) · RPMH (ICAO)
On a single narrow-body stand at Mambajao, hi-loader boarding puts the tray direct to galley height rather than parking a cart at the foot of the aircraft. That reach is what supports inflight catering for scheduled and charter movements, in-flight catering for VIP and government rotations, and the uplift that leaves our kitchen sealed for every wide-body and narrow-body departure alike.

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

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Mambajao
Ramp access at Mambajao is what sets the loading window, not a fixed clock: the sealed cart moves from our kitchen to the apron only once the stand and the escort are ready to receive it. Ground crew tracked to the narrow-body reference code held here call the sequence, so the catering uplift reaches the galley door in step with fuelling and cleaning rather than ahead of it. That coordination is the whole point of working ramp access ourselves instead of handing a delivery to the foot of the aircraft.
Between our flight kitchen and the single stand at RPMH sit screening, an escort and whatever apron traffic the narrow-body reference code is carrying that hour, and the convoy is planned against the busiest of them rather than the average. Chain of custody runs on a temperature log opened at sealing and closed again at the galley door, so every catering uplift arrives with its own paper trail rather than a shared one. A signature at handover closes the record, and galley catering does not leave our custody before that signature exists. The catering at RPMH loading plan is written around that convoy, not around a printed schedule.
One sealed cart, one route, one signature: the convoy is the risk we plan against.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Mambajao airport
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for CGM
The flight kitchen provisioning Mambajao runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to turn a narrow-body rotation without borrowing capacity from another station. HACCP governs every stage from intake to sealing, and the cold chain is held continuously from that seal to the galley door at RPMH. Airport catering built this way means scheduled, charter and VIP movements draw on the same production standard, and airport catering never separates a government tray set from a commercial one on the same shift.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Mambajao is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from the wider kitchen roster. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access to the sealing room is limited to that list, and household service standards are trained rather than assumed. Chain of custody starts with that team at the kitchen door and does not change hands again before the galley.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Mambajao (CGM)
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at RPMH
Menus at CGM are written to the cabin and the mission first, and adjusted for season after that: a first-class tray set is not the business tray set turned up, and a charter rotation is not fed off the same cycle as a scheduled one. Where the region's produce supports it, dairy, fish and orchard fruit sourced locally sit alongside a standing international specification, so inflight catering here is not limited to one culinary register. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin before the tray is built, not adjusted afterwards. That documentation travels sealed with the uplift, so the galley receives exactly what the passenger list specified.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Mambajao are plated to a written specification rather than to a general standard, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for the mission that calls for it. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order at RPMH, so a repeat rotation receives the same service without a fresh brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CGM run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft working the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so tray sets and meal boxes leave the kitchen already sorted by seat and by duty.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for every departure from Mambajao, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line at the kitchen and sealed before it leaves that line, so a dietary tray never shares a cart with the general service it was built apart from.

Airside airport catering at RPMH / CGM
Mambajao works a single narrow-body reference code across scheduled, charter and government movements, which makes documentation the constraint rather than volume: a delegation on the one stand here needs its protocol file matched to the tray set before wheels-up, not after. Airline catering at CGM is planned around that single stand rather than around a bank of gates, so the sequencing that matters is between rotations, not within one.
The uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the stand and boards by hi-loader to galley height, with our own crew on the ramp for the escort rather than a handover at the perimeter. In-flight catering at RPMH and aviation catering across the wider Philippines network share that same route and the same hi-loader method, so a diversion landing here is worked to the identical standard as a scheduled departure. Inflight catering at CGM runs off the one ops desk that plans both.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover at the galley door: airport catering in the Philippines does not change that commitment from one field to the next.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Mambajao (CGM)
01
Government and state flight catering at CGM
A 1202 m runway sets what can be worked from this stand, so protocol movements are planned to that same narrow-body limit rather than to a separate schedule. Government flight catering at Mambajao documents the file per passenger, assigns security-cleared staff to the load, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen for a head of state movement or a routine delegation alike.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Mambajao
Our kitchen runs royal flight catering at CGM against a written household specification kept on file between movements, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard without a fresh brief each time. Private airliners, BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations included, receive halal and household dietary requirements on request from the royal household team assigned to that file.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at RPMH
Aerodrome reference code narrow-body governs every movement through this stand, and a charter operator working within that code receives the same full three-cabin uplift as a scheduled carrier. Charter flight catering at Mambajao covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering in Mambajao staged to the loading sheet in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at CGM
A single narrow-body stand at RPMH means every rotation is sequenced against the one turnaround slot available, which is exactly the discipline ad hoc airline catering depends on. Carriers running Mambajao as an outstation draw on outstation catering and diversion catering off the same duty roster, with technical stop catering and AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation without a separate brief.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Mambajao
A business jet working the narrow-body reference code held at RPMH boards from the same stand infrastructure as a scheduled arrival, which is what lets private jet catering at RPMH run on identical ramp terms. Delivery reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, with FBO catering held to the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift and business aviation catering never treated as a separate standard.

Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Hugo — Cargo Dispatch Coordinator
“We used the team for catering uplift at Mambajao (CGM/RPMH) during a tight turnaround. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at Mambajao (CGM)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Mambajao (CGM)
What operations gets asked every week about Mambajao.
Ask operations directly →A single narrow-body stand governs every rotation through RPMH, so how much does airline catering cost at CGM?
There is no published price list: cost is set by cabin count, the specification requested and the loading window booked for that rotation, and our desk returns a quotation once those are confirmed.
How are halal, kosher and special meal codes documented for departures from Mambajao?
Mambajao departures carry halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes, each one documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before it is sealed for uplift.
Mambajao airport handles airside delivery how, from kitchen to aircraft?
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart directly to galley height, so airline catering here reaches the aircraft by airside delivery rather than a stand-side handover at the foot of the steps.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at CGM?
Yes, under a documented protocol file: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run on security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift for delegations, state visits and royal household movements alike.
