Aviation catering — Andros Town, Bahamas

VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Andros Town (MYAF / ASD)

ASD (IATA) · MYAF (ICAO)

A single narrow-body reference code governs every stand at Andros Town, which means one loading plan and one crew handle each rotation from kitchen to galley door. We provide inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here, boarding scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights by hi-loader to wide-body-standard galley height, uplift held on one desk, airside, 24/7.

Aircraft catering lead times at MYAF

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Andros Town

Ramp access is what a loading window at Andros Town is actually built around, because the apron and the narrow-body stand set the order in which a cart can move. Every catering uplift here is planned against that sequence rather than against a generic slot, so the sealed cart clears the gate, crosses the apron and reaches the galley door in a fixed order that does not change rotation to rotation. That order is what a handling agent or an ops desk can plan a turnaround against, at Andros Town or at any station we serve.

Four branded catering carts latched side by side in an aircraft galley, each door closed on a coloured seal.

The convoy is the risk on this catering uplift, not the food: screening, an escort across the apron, and the general traffic the narrow-body stand carries are what a load has to move through before it reaches the aircraft. At Andros Town we plan every galley catering run against the busiest version of that route rather than the easiest one, so a delay on the apron never becomes a delay at the door. Chain of custody is kept by temperature log at sealing and again at handover, with the load signed off at the galley by the same crew that sealed it at the kitchen.

One coordinator carries the load from the seal to the signature, start to finish.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for ASD

The flight kitchen at ASD runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed the narrow-body reference code held at Andros Town without splitting output across sites. Airport catering at MYAF and airport catering at ASD both draw from that one facility, which keeps HACCP standards and the cold chain consistent from the first tray packed to the last one loaded. Working from a single flight kitchen at ASD also means one production schedule, not several handlers each running their own.

The team behind government flight catering at Andros Town is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the paperwork that a sealed uplift carries with it. That continuity matters more here than the size of the kitchen, because a protocol movement is judged on who signs for the load, not on how large the batch is. Staff working royal and state rotations rotate onto them by clearance, not by availability.

VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Andros Town (ASD)

Royal flight catering standards per cabin at MYAF

Menus at Andros Town are built to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season: a First cabin plated to a written specification, a Business tray set built for volume, and a main cabin produced to the same standard as either. Inflight catering here draws on Bahamas produce where the specification calls for it — orchard fruit, dairy, fish — described in general terms on the written menu rather than as a named dish. Every set is built against a standing specification rather than improvised per flight, which is what lets a repeat rotation see the same standard twice. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that documentation rather than against a general assumption.

First & VVIP cabins

First and VVIP cabins at Andros Town are plated to a written specification held on file, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than improvised on the day. VIP flight catering here follows that same specification on every repeat rotation, at MYAF or anywhere else we serve.

Business cabins

Business cabins at Andros Town run on multi-choice hot service, produced in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft and boarded as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew are never served from the passenger load.

Diet.

Protocol & dietary

Household, religious and medical requirements at Andros Town are documented per passenger rather than assumed, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line at ASD and sealed before it joins the main load.

Flight catering airside delivery at MYAF / ASD

The narrow-body reference code held at Andros Town sets a mixed traffic profile of scheduled, charter and government movements rather than a single repeated type, which means catering here is planned load by load instead of against one fixed pattern. A government delegation is worked as a documentation problem first, cleared staff and sealed paperwork ahead of the food itself, while a repeat charter rotation is worked as a repetition problem, the same specification held constant trip after trip.

The uplift reaches the aircraft by a fixed route from our flight kitchen across the apron to the stand, loaded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering at MYAF and airline catering at ASD both move on that same route, with our own crew on the ramp for every load rather than a handler working from a general instruction.

On every rotation we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, the same standard whether the load is inflight catering at MYAF, in-flight catering at Andros Town or airport catering in Bahamas more broadly.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Andros Town
The 1237 m runway at Andros Town governs which private airliners can operate here, and household standards are held to that same constant across every repeat rotation. VVIP and royal flight catering for private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP — is boarded to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at MYAF
A wide-body VIP airliner can be boarded here even where the narrow-body reference code otherwise governs the stand, because the loading method is built around the aircraft rather than the label on the ramp. Charter flight catering at ASD for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions runs as a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet and staged the way charter flight catering in Andros Town always is.

Airline and ad hoc catering at ASD
A 1237 m runway sets what can turn here, so an outstation rotation at Andros Town is planned to that length rather than to a longer field's assumptions. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the one duty roster this permits, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern that does not vary with the carrier.

Private jet and FBO catering at Andros Town
Within the narrow-body reference code held at Andros Town, business aviation is worked from the same stand set as everything else on the field, through the GA terminal and the FBOs based there. Private jet catering in Bahamas from this station is delivered on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, coordinated with our dedicated FBO catering branch and never treated as a lesser load.

What operations gets asked every week about Andros Town.

Ask operations directly →
Can we arrange VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at Andros Town, and under what protocol?

Yes: VIP flight catering and government flight catering here follow one written protocol, with the file documented per passenger and security-cleared staff handling every sealed uplift.

What halal, kosher and special meal codes does ASD produce, and how are they documented?

We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA SPML special meal codes, each one logged per passenger and produced on a separate line before it joins the main load.

Do you publish an airline catering cost for flights routing through MYAF?

Yes, by quotation rather than by price list, since cabin count, specification and the loading window all move the figure and the desk comes back with a number once those are known.

Which lead time applies for orders at Andros Town, and how late can the specification change?

The sealed cart and its cart route set the working lead time, and how far in advance an order is placed determines how much of that specification can still move before it is locked for last minute airline catering.
