Aviation catering — Pagadian, Philippines
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Pagadian (RPMP / PAG)
PAG (IATA) · RPMP (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code at Pagadian sets the loading plan: one runway, one stand, and every uplift boarded to that single rotation. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader access to galley height from a kitchen staged for wide-body-style sequencing on a single-aisle field.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Pagadian, Philippines
Every catering uplift at Pagadian is sequenced against the single narrow-body stand, so the sealed cart leaves the kitchen only once ramp access is confirmed. There is no second stand to fall back on, so the route from kitchen to aircraft is fixed and rehearsed rather than improvised. The load is planned to clear the galley door on the first pass, with nothing held back for a second run.

With one runway and one stand carrying every rotation through RPMP, the convoy itself is the risk on a catering uplift, not the food inside it. Screening, escort and the short run across apron traffic are the steps we plan against, holding the cart to the same route and the same timing on every galley catering pass. Temperatures are logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and again at handover, so the chain of custody is documented end to end rather than assumed. A signature closes the load at the galley door, matched against the seal recorded at departure.
One stand, one route, one signature: the load is tracked, not guessed at.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for RPMP / PAG
The kitchen behind Pagadian's single stand runs hot production, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, held to HACCP standard on every batch that leaves it. With one runway and one narrow-body stand carrying the whole rotation, airport catering here is planned around a single loading window rather than several. Airport catering at RPMP and the cold chain it protects both answer to the same fixed route from kitchen to galley door, at PAG's flight kitchen.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Pagadian is the same named crew on every rotation through the single stand, not a rotating pool. Security clearance is held on file, access is limited to a named list, and each member is trained to household service standards before a sealed uplift ever leaves the kitchen. Paperwork travels with the load, matched to the same route and the same signature every time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at RPMP
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Pagadian
With every rotation through Pagadian sequenced on one narrow-body stand, menus are written to the cabin and the mission before they are written to anything else. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce where the season allows it — fish, dairy, orchard fruit sourced through the Philippines rather than flown in cold. VIP flight menus and charter flight menus are built from the same tray-set standard, scaled up or down to the cabin count on the loading sheet. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before the cart is sealed.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at RPMP are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation is repeatable across every rotation, not rebuilt each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins through Pagadian's single stand take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger tray sets and matched to the roster at PAG.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Pagadian are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for religious, household and medical diets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen for RPMP's stand.

HACCP-compliant aircraft catering at PAG
Flight catering airside delivery at Pagadian (PAG)
Pagadian runs on a single runway and a single narrow-body stand, which means every rotation through it is sequenced rather than parallel: a delegation is a documentation problem here as much as a capacity one, and a repeat rotation is mostly a repetition problem, solved by holding the same route and the same tray-set standard every time. Airline catering, aviation catering and airport catering in the Philippines all answer to that same fixed sequence at RPMP.
The uplift leaves our kitchen by sealed cart, crosses the apron on a fixed route, and boards by hi-loader to galley height at the one stand this field carries; ground handling on the ramp is coordinated against that single loading window rather than several. In-flight catering at Pagadian and inflight catering at RPMP both run off one duty roster tied to that stand.
On this station we commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the galley door.

“We used the team at Pagadian (PAG/RPMP) for diversion catering after an unexpected operational change. Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. A dependable option for irregular operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

The crew received exactly what was ordered, with clear labels and no last-minute chasing from operations. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at RPMP
What operations gets asked every week about Pagadian.
Ask operations directly →How does RPMP handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering?
RPMP boards VIP flight catering and government flight catering through the same single stand as every other movement, under a documented protocol with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift.
Which special meals does Pagadian produce?
The sealed cart leaving Pagadian's kitchen carries halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes, each documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before sealing.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at Pagadian Airport?
Yes, by hi-loader to galley height: airline catering at Pagadian Airport is boarded directly on board rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with airside delivery run on our own badges.
When do you need the order placed for PAG?
When the loading window is confirmed against the single stand, lead time and how far in advance an order should move depends on the cabin count and specification; last minute airline catering is worked where the sealed cart can still be rerouted in time.
