VIJ (IATA) · TUPW (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the loading plan here, holding one aircraft on the stand at a time and forcing every uplift into a single fixed sequence rather than a spread across parallel gates. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at this Spanish Town station from that same sequence, boarded by hi-loader to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights.

The catering uplift at this narrow-body station is planned around one working stand rather than several parallel gates, which fixes the sequence before the cart ever leaves the kitchen. Ramp access here is held on our own badges, so the convoy moves onto the apron without waiting on a shared escort slot. Every load is staged to reach the galley door at height, using the same sequence for a scheduled rotation as for a diverted or ad hoc arrival at Spanish Town.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Spanish Town sit screening, an escort requirement and apron traffic that a narrow-body reference code does nothing to thin out, since only one aircraft is worked at a time. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that convoy, not the average of it, holding the chain of custody on our own badges rather than a shared pass. Temperature is logged into the galley at sealing, and again at handover on the stand, with a signature closing the load before the aircraft is released for the next leg of a multi-leg rotation.
One coordinator signs the load from the sealed kitchen cart to the aircraft door.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Spanish Town airport
Airport catering at Spanish Town is provisioned from a facility built to run hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, feeding a single narrow-body stand rather than a spread of parallel gates. That single working stand means airport catering here is planned in one sequence, not staggered across a bank of loaders, so the flight kitchen at VIJ holds its output to one release window per rotation. Every tray leaving that kitchen for TUPW runs on production held to HACCP standards, checked before it is sealed for the stand.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Spanish Town works the same narrow-body stand on every rotation, which keeps the roster small enough to hold consistent security clearance across the whole crew rather than rotating staff in and out of the file. Each of them is named on the access list, trained to royal household standards and briefed on the paperwork a sealed uplift carries from the kitchen to the aircraft door. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks first, and it is fixed by the size of this station, not by policy alone.
VIP flight catering menus for TUPW / VIJ departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Spanish Town (VIJ)
Menus at Spanish Town are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a government movement do not draw on the same plan. Produce from the British Virgin Islands features where the season allows it, drawing on the region's fish, dairy and orchard fruit rather than a supplier list fixed months in advance. Inflight catering here runs from passenger meal boxes through to VVIP plated service, with each set built to a written specification rather than improvised at the pass. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, and labelled before the cart leaves the kitchen for TUPW.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Spanish Town are plated to a written specification kept on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, not improvised for each departure from VIJ.
Business cabins
Business cabins at TUPW run a multi-choice hot service built to the cabin specification, with oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft rather than a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and matched to the roster for each rotation through Spanish Town.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at TUPW are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line at the flight kitchen and sealed before it leaves for the stand.

Flight catering airside delivery at VIJ
Spanish Town works a narrow-body reference code, which means one stand carries the traffic rather than a bank of parallel gates, and every rotation through it is sequenced rather than run in parallel. A scheduled service, a charter and a government movement all draw on the same stand in turn, so a delegation becomes a documentation problem worked into that single sequence rather than a separate track, and a peak wave becomes a question of holding the loading order rather than adding capacity.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to that one stand by a fixed ramp route, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the apron for the whole movement. Airline catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at TUPW all run off this same route, whatever the mission carried that day.
We commit one coordinator to every rotation through Spanish Town, sealed carts from the kitchen, and a signed handover at the stand before release.

Government and state flight catering at VIJ
We hold the narrow-body stand at Spanish Town to one working sequence per rotation, and that sequence is what carries government flight catering for state visits and official delegations without disruption to the schedule around it. The protocol file is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and the uplift for any head of state movement is sealed at the kitchen before it leaves for TUPW.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Spanish Town
A narrow-body reference code governs the stand at Spanish Town, and it is against that single sequence that royal flight catering is planned rather than against a spread of parallel gates. Household standards are held across repeat rotations from a written specification kept on file between movements, covering private airliners such as BBJ and ACJ configurations, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request for every VVIP movement through VIJ.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at TUPW
A full three-cabin charter aircraft is boarded on the single narrow-body stand at Spanish Town, the reference code here being what lets that whole load run through one sequence rather than several. Charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, on the same terms for charter flight catering in the British Virgin Islands as for a scheduled service.

Airline and ad hoc catering at VIJ
One narrow-body stand carries the traffic at Spanish Town, which means every rotation is sequenced rather than run in parallel, and that sequencing is what carriers running this station as an outstation actually rely on. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all draw on the same duty roster, with AOG covered on the same terms across a multi-leg rotation through TUPW, and crew meals in the British Virgin Islands boxed to the same roster as the cabin.

Private jet and FBO catering at Spanish Town
On the same narrow-body stand that carries the scheduled and charter traffic through TUPW, business aviation is worked to the identical sequence rather than a separate track. Private jet catering in Spanish Town reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged diversion catering at Spanish Town (VIJ/TUPW). Confirmation was quick, the order stayed clear despite several updates, and delivery reached the aircraft on time. A dependable option for irregular operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Lina — Crew Operations Coordinator
“We needed outstation catering for a flight through Spanish Town (VIJ/TUPW) and the process was much easier than expected. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Nina — Cargo Control Manager

Pricing, delivery timing, and packaging were all explained upfront, which helped us approve the uplift quickly. Straightforward and professional from quote to delivery. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

What operations gets asked every week about Spanish Town.
Ask operations directly →At what point does an order need to be placed for VIJ, and how late can the specification change?
The loading window is set as soon as the flight is confirmed, so lead time works backwards from the stand slot at TUPW rather than a fixed number of days; cabin counts and special meal codes can still move close to departure, but last-minute airline catering requests are worked against whatever remains of that window once the kitchen has sealed its main sequence.
When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at TUPW?
Once the stand is confirmed, the sealed cart moves under escort straight to the apron and is boarded by hi-loader to galley height, so airside delivery happens in the same movement as the aircraft's own turnaround at Spanish Town.
Does Spanish Town cover private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal at VIJ receive FBO catering on the same cold chain and the same sealed paperwork as an airline uplift, with no separate standard applied to business aviation.
Where does the airline catering cost at Spanish Town Airport come from, since no price list is published?
The loading sheet for each rotation records cabin count, specification and the loading window agreed for that flight, and it is against that record that our desk returns a quotation rather than a fixed rate card.
