Aviation catering — Stella Maris, Bahamas
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Stella Maris (MYLS / SML)
SML (IATA) · MYLS (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code sets the working limits at Stella Maris, and inflight catering here is planned inside that stand, not around it. Our kitchen delivers wide-body-style discipline to hi-loader boarding at galley height, so in-flight catering, ad hoc uplifts and VIP rotations all run off the same ramp sequence.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Stella Maris (SML)
The narrow-body reference code at Stella Maris keeps the loading sequence tight, so ramp access is scheduled before the aircraft blocks in rather than after. Every catering uplift moves through the same checkpoint order: cart sealed, apron cleared, hi-loader raised to galley height. That order is fixed at MYLS and it is what the timeline below records.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Stella Maris sit screening, an escort through the apron, and the traffic that a single narrow-body stand generates during a busy rotation. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it, so the galley catering load reaches the door on schedule regardless of which convoy runs ahead of it.
Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, with a signature closing the chain of custody at the galley door. Nothing that leaves the kitchen travels without both readings attached to it.
The convoy is the risk we manage; the galley door is where the record closes.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Stella Maris (SML)
Airport catering at Stella Maris runs from a single production kitchen holding hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, built to serve a narrow-body stand rather than a wide-body apron. That footprint keeps airport catering tight and repeatable rather than sprawling across separate units. Every tray leaving the building is logged to the HACCP standard the kitchen operates under, cold chain intact from the larder to the cart.
The team that handles government flight catering at Stella Maris is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, each is on the access list for airside movement, and each is trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift carries with it. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks first, before it checks the menu.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Stella Maris
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Stella Maris, Bahamas
Menus at Stella Maris are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, moving from a VIP flight menu for a private airliner to a charter flight menu for a group rotation without changing kitchens. Local sourcing draws on Bahamian fish, tropical fruit and dairy brought in against a seasonal plan, worked into the specification rather than left as decoration. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets labelled and tracked by cabin. Nothing boards without that label attached, whatever the size of the rotation.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Stella Maris carry VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. The presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation through MYLS is served to the same read every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SML take multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on board, moving as tray sets and meal boxes rather than a single fixed plate. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster at Stella Maris, so the flight deck and the cabin crew each open the set built for them.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements are documented per passenger at Stella Maris, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to a religious or medical code is produced on a separate line and sealed there before it joins the main uplift, keeping the record clean from preparation to handover.

Flight catering airside delivery at MYLS
Stella Maris runs a narrow-body traffic profile against a single runway and one aerodrome reference code, which turns every rotation into a repetition problem rather than a peak-wave capacity problem: the same stand, the same sequence, run again and again. Airline catering at MYLS is built around that repetition, with aviation catering and in-flight catering in Stella Maris planned to the same checklist each time rather than re-planned per flight.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by direct hi-loader boarding to galley height, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover rather than a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft. Airport catering in Bahamas at this scale depends on that direct route: one stand, one route, no intermediate drop.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load at Stella Maris.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Stella Maris (SML)
01
Government and state flight catering at MYLS
At a station cleared to a single narrow-body reference code, government flight catering still runs to full protocol rather than a reduced one. Delegations and official movements are documented per passenger, handled by security-cleared staff, and sealed at the kitchen before the catering at SML ever reaches the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SML
Sequencing a household rotation around a single narrow-body stand means holding the specification fixed rather than adjusting it flight to flight, because there is no second stand to absorb a change. Royal flight catering at Stella Maris is built on that fixed file: private airliners, BBJ and ACJ movements included, served to a written household standard kept on record between visits, with halal and other requirements met on request and the catering at MYLS logged against the same file each time.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Stella Maris
1,219 metres is the longest runway at Stella Maris, and that length sets what a charter movement can bring in on this ramp. Charter flight catering at SML covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before charter flight catering at Stella Maris is staged to the galley order.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MYLS
A narrow-body aircraft is what the reference code at Stella Maris clears for boarding, and that is the aircraft this card is written around. Ad hoc airline catering at SML covers carriers working this station as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off one duty roster; AOG cover sits on the same roster across a multi-leg rotation, and crew meals in Bahamas move with it.

Private jet and FBO catering at SML
Our kitchen works the same 1,219-metre runway that clears a narrow-body for boarding to also clear the general aviation traffic using it. Private jet catering at Stella Maris reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering scheduled through the same duty roster rather than a separate one.

“We arranged government flight catering at Stella Maris (SML/MYLS) for a sensitive movement. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Achraf — VIP Aviation Coordinator
“For a VIP rotation through Stella Maris (SML/MYLS), we used the team for ACJ catering. The portions, packaging, and labeling worked well for the cabin, and the timing was spot on. A very smooth experience for the cabin team. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Ivan — Mission Support Manager
“We arranged pilgrim flight catering for a group movement through Stella Maris (SML/MYLS). Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. Good coordination for a high-volume movement. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

What operations gets asked every week about Stella Maris.
Ask operations directly →How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at MYLS?
MYLS operates a single narrow-body stand, and airline catering is delivered by airside delivery direct from our kitchen with hi-loader boarding straight to galley height, never left at the foot of the aircraft.
Which protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering in Stella Maris?
The hi-loader and sealed cart route used for every rotation also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering, with the same protocol file logged from kitchen to galley door regardless of who the passengers are.
When can private jet catering be delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Stella Maris Airport?
As soon as a slot is confirmed, private jet catering is scheduled through the same duty roster as the airline side, with FBO catering delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain.
Where are halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes documented for orders through SML?
The passenger record carries every special meal code against the seat it was ordered for, with halal, kosher and other SPML sets produced on a separate line and sealed before joining the main uplift.
Is there a fixed lead time for changing a specification before departure from MYLS?
Our coordinator holds the loading window open as late as the ramp sequence allows, and how far in advance a change can be confirmed depends on where the rotation sits in that sequence.
What does airline catering cost at Stella Maris?
We price each quotation against cabin count, specification and the loading window booked for the rotation, and the desk returns a figure once those three are confirmed rather than publishing a fixed rate.
