Cat Island (MYCB / TBI): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
TBI (IATA) · MYCB (ICAO)
At Cat Island, a 1539 m runway sets the aircraft this station boards, and inflight catering here is built around that ceiling rather than around a brochure ideal. AERO GOURMET runs in-flight catering to the narrow-body reference code held on the field, boarding a hi-loader to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government uplift, airside, without a foot-of-aircraft handoff.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at Cat Island
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Cat Island airport
Ramp access is what decides the loading window at Cat Island, not a printed schedule: the cart clears the apron, reaches the stand, and boards through the galley door on the aircraft's own timetable. Because the runway holds a single narrow-body reference code, the sequence stays short and repeatable rather than staged across parallel movements. Every catering uplift here follows that same sequence, cart to hi-loader to galley, logged at each step.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Cat Island sit screening, an escort, and whatever apron traffic the single runway is running that hour, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of those, not the average. The chain of custody starts when the cart is sealed and does not break until a signature closes it at the galley door. Galley catering here is logged twice: temperature at sealing, temperature again at handover, both on the same record the aircraft carries onward.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley door, nothing in between.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Cat Island (TBI)
The flight kitchen behind Cat Island runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard rather than to a seasonal one. Airport catering at Cat Island and airport catering in Bahamas both draw on that same production line, so a scheduled tray set and a sealed VIP load leave the same cold chain. Flight kitchen output at TBI is staged to the sequence the loading window sets, not to a separate kitchen clock.
The team that handles government flight catering at Cat Island is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the household standards a protocol movement expects. Sealed uplift here carries a chain of custody from the kitchen door to the aircraft, signed at each handover rather than assumed. That continuity, not a larger roster, is what a repeat state or royal rotation is actually buying.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Cat Island
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Cat Island, Bahamas
Cat Island's menus are written to the cabin and the mission, not to a fixed seasonal card, so a scheduled tray set and a sealed VIP load can leave the same kitchen on the same afternoon. Local sourcing draws on Bahamas produce where the season allows it, worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Inflight catering at MYCB is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, labelled by cabin before it ever reaches the cart. That documentation travels with the tray, not just with the order.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Cat Island are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than by default. VIP flight catering here is filed against that standing order, so a repeat movement boards the same standard without a fresh brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MYCB run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the working crew never draws from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at Cat Island are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Cat Island produces these on a separate line, sealed apart from the main load rather than folded into it.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at MYCB
Cat Island runs a single narrow-body runway, which sets a traffic profile built on scheduled and charter movements rather than a wide-body wave pattern, and every catering plan on this field starts from that ceiling. Aviation catering at Cat Island is scoped stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, because a single runway means each rotation is worked in sequence, not in parallel.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, airside, with our own crew on the ramp from kitchen to stand. Airline catering in Bahamas and inflight catering in Bahamas both run off that same route here, and in-flight catering at TBI is staged to the loading window rather than to a generic delivery slot. Airport catering at MYCB is planned against the ramp's own traffic, not against an assumed quiet hour.
What we commit to on this stand is one coordinator, sealed carts, and a signed handover at the galley door, every rotation.

Government and state flight catering at MYCB

Royal and VVIP flight catering at TBI
We work every royal household rotation at Cat Island against the same narrow-body reference code the field holds, so a private airliner boards to the same written specification each time it returns. Royal flight catering here covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP movements, held to household standards on file, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assumed. Catering at TBI for this segment never varies between rotations.

Airline and ad hoc catering at MYCB
A single narrow-body runway means every ad hoc load at Cat Island has to be sequenced around one movement at a time, never staged across parallel stands. Ad hoc airline catering in Bahamas covers outstation catering in Cat Island, diversion catering at TBI and technical stop catering, AOG included, with crew meals at TBI and crew meals at Cat Island boxed to the same duty roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at TBI
A business jet using Cat Island's single runway still boards from the same ramp our wide-body and narrow-body uplifts use, because the reference code held here governs every stand on the field. Private jet catering at TBI reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline load, run second and briefly, after the commercial rotation.

“We needed an airline ops catering supplier at Cat Island (TBI/MYCB) and the support was excellent. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. We would use the service again without hesitation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Jasmine — Charter Operations Manager
“We booked private jet catering in Cat Island for a flight operating through TBI/MYCB. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. A very easy service to use at this station. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Agnes — Cargo Flight Support Manager
“For our flight from Cat Island (TBI/MYCB), the cabin order included multiple special meal codes. Each item was clearly identified, separated from the standard meals, and easy to check before boarding. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Flight catering FAQ for Cat Island
Outstation catering and access questions at Cat Island
What operations gets asked every week about Cat Island.
Ask operations directly →With a single narrow-body runway at MYCB, how much does airline catering cost there?
There is no published price list: a quotation depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window you need, and the desk comes back with a figure once those are known.
Does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at Cat Island, and how does it board?
A hi-loader carries the sealed cart to galley height and boards direct, so airside delivery here never passes through a foot-of-aircraft handoff.
How are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes handled at Cat Island Airport?
Cat Island documents halal, kosher and the full range of SPML codes per passenger before the cart is sealed, produced on a separate line from the main load.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at TBI, and under what protocol?
Yes, with security-cleared staff, a protocol file documented per passenger, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any VIP flight catering or government flight catering movement.
What lead time does an order need at MYCB, and how late can it still change?
We ask for as much notice as the mission allows; last minute airline catering and specification changes are worked against the loading window rather than a fixed cut-off, so how far in advance you commit shapes how much can still move.
Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Cat Island?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal receive FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with no separate standard for business aviation.
