Aviation catering — Colonel Hill, Bahamas
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Colonel Hill (MYCI / CRI)
CRI (IATA) · MYCI (ICAO)
A 1238 m runway and a narrow-body reference code set the frame at Colonel Hill: single-aisle rotations, worked to the minute, with no allowance for delay on the ramp. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here move by hi-loader to galley height on wide-body-capable ground equipment, uplifted airside rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at MYCI
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Colonel Hill
Every uplift at Colonel Hill is planned around the single runway that sets the field's rotation rhythm, not around an assumed turnaround. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the sealed cart moves straight from the flight kitchen to the apron without a handoff at a common gate. The catering uplift is staged to the galley door in the order the crew works the aisle, narrow-body sequence first.
Between our kitchen and the stand at MYCI sit screening, an escort through the airside checkpoint, and whatever apron traffic the single runway is carrying that hour. We plan the galley catering uplift against the worst of those, never the average, so a delay upstream does not become a delay at the galley door. Chain of custody is unbroken across that route: one escort, one seal, one signature.
Temperature is logged at sealing, at the ramp handover, and once more at the aircraft, with the cold chain held continuously between the three readings. The load carries a single signature at handover, closing the record against the loading sheet rather than against a verbal count.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing loose in between.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for Colonel Hill (CRI)
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at CRI
The single-runway field at MYCI is provisioned from a flight kitchen run to HACCP standard, with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof rather than split across separate units. Airport catering at Colonel Hill is planned against that one runway's traffic rhythm, not against an assumed wide-body wave. Cold chain is held from the larder to the sealed cart, so airport catering leaves the building already at handover temperature.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Colonel Hill is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from general staff. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access lists are checked before airside movement, and household service standards are trained rather than briefed on the day. The paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift is completed by that crew alone.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Colonel Hill (CRI)
VVIP catering written per mission at MYCI
Menus at Colonel Hill are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusted for a delegation, a group charter or a scheduled rotation as the booking requires. Produce drawn from the Bahamas features where the specification allows it, described in general terms of dairy, fish and orchard fruit rather than by dish or supplier. Inflight catering here is planned against the narrow-body reference code the field is built to, never assumed from a wider aircraft category. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled and sealed before they leave the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Colonel Hill are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set menu. The presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation through MYCI receives the same service without a fresh briefing each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CRI receive multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets, sized to the specific aircraft's galley rather than a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster at Colonel Hill, kept apart from the passenger load throughout.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at MYCI are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the main load.

Airside airport catering at MYCI / CRI
Colonel Hill runs a single-runway, narrow-body operation, and that reference code shapes every stand assignment rather than a peak wide-body wave: a repeat rotation is a repetition problem, planned once and held, while an occasional charter or a government movement is treated as a documentation task from the first call. Airline catering and airport catering in the Bahamas are both built around that same narrow-body pattern rather than adapted from a wide-body template.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by airside delivery straight from our flight kitchen to the stand, with the loading crew holding its own ramp clearance rather than routing through a shared gate. Inflight catering and in-flight catering at Colonel Hill run off that one route, aviation catering at CRI sequenced to the galley door in the order the crew works the cabin.
On every movement through this station we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, regardless of aircraft size.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at MYCI
01
Government and state flight catering at Colonel Hill
The single 1238 m runway at Colonel Hill sets the aircraft category this field can turn around, and government flight catering here is planned against that same constraint. Delegations and official movements travel with a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and a head of state aircraft handled to a sealed uplift closed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at MYCI
We hold household standards across repeat rotations into a field carrying a narrow-body reference code, keeping the written specification on file between movements rather than rebuilding it each time. Royal flight catering at Colonel Hill covers private airliners, including BBJ and ACJ types, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at CRI
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand assignment at Colonel Hill, and charter flight catering there is planned to that same limit for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions. Charter flight catering in the Bahamas is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, cabin by cabin.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Colonel Hill
A 1238 m runway sets a firm ceiling on the aircraft this station takes, so every loading plan at Colonel Hill is sequenced to the narrow-body reference code rather than to a wide-body assumption. Carriers running MYCI as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at MYCI
Business jets sized to the narrow-body reference code held at Colonel Hill are boarded here on the same terms as any scheduled rotation. Private jet catering in Colonel Hill reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We needed royal flight catering at Colonel Hill (CRI/MYCI) for a protocol-sensitive flight. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. A professional service for movements where discretion matters. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at Colonel Hill (CRI)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Colonel Hill (CRI)
What operations gets asked every week about Colonel Hill.
Ask operations directly →What private jet catering do you deliver to the FBOs and the GA terminal at CRI?
We deliver private jet catering to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal at Colonel Hill, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering sealed before it leaves our kitchen.
Can you tell me what airline catering costs at MYCI?
The airline catering cost at MYCI depends on cabin count, specification and loading window, since we publish no fixed price list; our desk returns a quotation once those three are confirmed.
How is VIP flight catering handled for government and royal movements through Colonel Hill?
Colonel Hill handles VIP flight catering and government flight catering under a documented protocol, with cleared staff, a sealed uplift and a household or diplomatic file held on record.
Which halal, kosher and special meal codes does Colonel Hill produce?
The sealed cart carries halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA SPML codes, produced on a separate line at our kitchen and documented per passenger before airside delivery.
When does an order need to be placed for CRI, and how late can the specification change?
When a rotation is confirmed, we ask for the lead time our desk quotes at booking; once the order is placed, most cabin and count changes can still be taken close to departure, and last minute airline catering is worked case by case.
