Aviation catering — Duncan Town, Bahamas
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Duncan Town (MYRD / DCT)
DCT (IATA) · MYRD (ICAO)
One runway of 1,158 metres sets the aerodrome reference code here at narrow-body, which fixes the fleet mix this station turns and the uplift plan built for it. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding to galley height at Duncan Town, so scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements board airside, not at the foot of the aircraft.

Aircraft catering lead times at Duncan Town (DCT)
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at MYRD
Ramp access is what actually governs the loading window at Duncan Town: our crews cross the apron on cleared badges, not on a curbside handoff. The single runway and its narrow-body reference code keep the rotation predictable, so the sealed cart moves from our kitchen to the galley door on a fixed sequence, checked at each stage. That sequence is what a catering uplift here is measured against, not against a promised time.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Duncan Town, the convoy is the part of the load that carries the risk, not the food itself: screening, an escort across the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a narrow-body rotation all sit ahead of the galley catering reaching the door. Chain of custody is held from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at handover, with nothing crossing the ramp unescorted. Temperatures are logged twice on every catering uplift, once when the cart is sealed and again at the aircraft, and the handover carries a signature against both readings.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing crosses the ramp unaccounted for.
Airline food supplier for Duncan Town, Bahamas rotations
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Duncan Town airport
The flight kitchen behind MYRD is built around the same narrow-body reference code that governs the runway, so hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line share one roof sized to that traffic rather than to a wider-body mix. Airport catering at Duncan Town runs to a HACCP standard held from intake to seal, with the cold chain checked at every stage before a cart leaves the building. Airport catering at MYRD is planned around that same discipline, whatever the mission on the rotation.
The team behind government flight catering at Duncan Town is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled in for the day. Security clearance is held on file, each member sits on the access list for the airside route, and training covers the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift as closely as the food itself. Catering at MYRD for a household or a delegation moves through that same named team, movement after movement.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at MYRD / DCT
VVIP catering to a written specification at Duncan Town (DCT)
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission, then adjusted for the season, drawing where the facts allow on produce sourced locally in the Bahamas rather than a fixed catalogue repeated everywhere. Inflight catering in Duncan Town runs the same specification whether the cabin is First, Business or main cabin, with the tray set and the presentation matched to the layout actually on the aircraft. Special requirements travel with the passenger file rather than as an afterthought at the galley door: allergen, halal and kosher sets are documented against a named passenger and a named seat. Nothing on that file is guessed at loading; it is checked against the same document the kitchen sealed it to.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at MYRD are plated to a written specification rather than to memory, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and checked the same way on every rotation, so the presentation at the galley door matches what was agreed at booking.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Duncan Town run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the day. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets and meal boxes, boxed to the roster rather than guessed at the stand.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at DCT are documented per passenger rather than left to a verbal note, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Bahamas produced against those codes is built on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so nothing crosses on the same cart as a standard tray.

Flight catering airside delivery at DCT
Sealed against a single narrow-body reference code, Duncan Town turns scheduled, charter and occasional government movements off one runway, and that mix decides how a rotation is worked: a delegation is a documentation problem before it is a loading problem, and a repeat rotation is a matter of holding the same specification twice running.
The uplift here moves from our kitchen to the stand on airside delivery, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crews on the ramp for the crossing. Airline catering in Duncan Town and aviation catering in Bahamas run off the same ops desk, so a change to one rotation does not mean a second phone call.
One coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, and airport catering at Duncan Town is planned stand by stand rather than against a generic schedule; in-flight catering at Duncan Town closes on a signed handover every time.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Duncan Town airport
01
Government and state flight catering at MYRD
The 1,158-metre runway at this station takes the movements that arrive with the least notice, and government flight catering at Duncan Town is built to match: protocol documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and a head of state aircraft uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen. Catering at DCT for an official delegation follows that same file end to end, movement after movement.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at DCT
A private airliner working a narrow-body-rated field still boards to a household specification, and that specification is what governs royal flight catering at Duncan Town: BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements held to a written standard kept on file between rotations. VVIP and royal household requirements, including halal sets, are produced against that same file rather than agreed fresh on the day.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Duncan Town
Onto the single narrow-body stand this field offers, a full three-cabin uplift is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, which is what makes charter flight catering at Duncan Town workable for ACMI and wet-lease operators running group movements. Charter flight catering in Duncan Town for special missions is counted against the loading sheet before it leaves the kitchen, never estimated at the stand.

Airline and ad hoc catering at MYRD
Our crews work every rotation here against the narrow-body reference code the field is held to, which keeps a single duty roster covering carriers that run Duncan Town as an outstation. Ad hoc airline catering at Duncan Town, outstation catering and diversion catering move off that same roster, with technical stop catering and AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation without a second desk to call.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at DCT
The narrow-body reference code held here means a business aviation movement is sequenced around the same rotation as a scheduled departure, not worked apart from it. Private jet catering at DCT reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, run through our dedicated branch for that traffic.

Inflight catering FAQ for MYRD / DCT
Crew meals, lead times and access at MYRD / DCT
What operations gets asked every week about Duncan Town.
Ask operations directly →At what point are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for a flight through Duncan Town?
Special meal codes are logged first, against the passenger file, before the standard tray run begins. Halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are then produced on a separate line and sealed before they leave the kitchen, documented per passenger.
Does MYRD handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering, and under what protocol?
Every movement in that category runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff on the load. VIP flight catering and government flight catering here follow the same named team and the same sealed handover, rotation after rotation.
How far in advance does an order need to be placed for a flight through DCT, and how late can the specification change?
The standard held on file governs how close to departure a change can be accepted, with the cold chain and the loading window as the limiting factor rather than a fixed cut-off. As a rule, earlier lead time gives more room to adjust cabin counts and special meal codes without disturbing the last-minute airline catering slot already booked.
Who handles private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field at MYRD?
Across the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, our dedicated private-jet branch delivers FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift. No single handler is named because the service reaches all of them equally.
Where does airline catering at Duncan Town actually reach the aircraft, and how does the uplift get there?
The signed handover at the galley door is the record that proves airline catering here is delivered airside, not left at the foot of the aircraft. Airside delivery runs by hi-loader to galley height, escorted across the apron from our kitchen on every rotation.
Is airline catering cost at Duncan Town published anywhere as a fixed rate?
The coordinator assigned to a rotation builds the airline catering cost from cabin count, specification and the loading window required, since no price list is published. The desk returns a quotation once those details are confirmed for the flight.
