AVI (IATA) · MUCA (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held at Ciro Redondo sets the scale of every rotation boarded here, from a single main runway to the stand. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering from a kitchen staged for hi-loader boarding, sealed cold chain, three cabins loaded directly to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights at MUCA.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at MUCA / AVI
Ramp access at Ciro Redondo is what separates our uplift from a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft: the cart moves under escort straight to the apron and is boarded by hi-loader to galley height. Every stage between the kitchen seal and the aircraft door is logged against the loading sheet rather than estimated after the fact. This is what a catering uplift means at MUCA: a measured sequence, not a promised time slot.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Ciro Redondo sit screening, an escorted convoy and apron traffic that moves on its own schedule, and the galley catering plan here is built to absorb the worst of all three rather than assume the best. The chain of custody is documented at every handover point, not only at departure, because a single missed signature is the failure mode a rushed catering uplift actually has. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the aircraft, and the crew that carries the paperwork is the crew that signs for the galley on arrival.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley door.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Ciro Redondo
Airport catering at AVI is provisioned from a single site built around the wide-body reference code this field holds, with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell run under one roof rather than split across contractors. That structure is what lets a delegation movement and a scheduled rotation leave the same kitchen without either queuing behind the other. Every tray run here is produced to the HACCP standard, and airport catering at Ciro Redondo is scheduled against the loading sheet, not against a generic daily cycle.
The team behind government flight catering at MUCA is the same named crew on every rotation, not a roster drawn fresh each time a delegation is announced. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects rather than to a general service brief. That continuity is what lets catering at AVI move from kitchen seal to aircraft signature without a new team learning the protocol file each time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Ciro Redondo airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at AVI
Menus here are written to the cabin and the mission rather than issued as one fixed tray for every seat on the aircraft, which matters on a field cleared to the wide-body reference code Ciro Redondo holds. Inflight catering at AVI draws on Cuban dairy, fish and orchard produce where the season allows it, worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Every set is filed against a written VIP flight menu or charter flight menu depending on the mission, never plated from memory. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that documentation rather than adjusted after boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Ciro Redondo are plated to a written specification rather than a standing daily card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the same protocol record used for a repeat rotation, so presentation does not vary between one departure and the next.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MUCA run on multi-choice hot service built to a fixed cabin specification, delivered in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted at the stand. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in the same run, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster rather than pulled from the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Ciro Redondo are documented per passenger rather than handled as a late addition to the standard tray run. Halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and household or religious requirements are produced on a separate line and sealed before departure, with inflight catering at MUCA built around that documentation from the outset.

Airside airport catering at Ciro Redondo, Cuba
A single main runway and one wide-body stand define how Ciro Redondo is worked: every movement through this reference-code field is planned individually rather than folded into a bank of parallel slots, which turns a delegation into a documentation task and a peak rotation into a capacity one. Airline catering and aviation catering here answer to that same constraint, with in-flight catering staged against the one stand available rather than against a general daily schedule.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the ramp under escort and is boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height, never set down at the foot of the aircraft, with our own loading crew on the apron for every rotation. Airport catering in Ciro Redondo is planned stand by stand, and ramp access is held on our own badges rather than requested fresh each time.
One coordinator runs the uplift from sealed cart to signed handover on every rotation through AVI, with airline catering in Ciro Redondo committed to that same named responsibility whatever the mission.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at AVI

Government and state flight catering at MUCA
A 3532 m runway at Ciro Redondo clears the aircraft types a head of state movement or a diplomatic delegation typically flies, which is what brings this category to a reference-code field of this size. Government flight catering here runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and an uplift sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at AVI
Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — are the aircraft this station's runway length is built to receive, and royal flight catering at Ciro Redondo is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt each time. Halal sets and other household dietary requirements are produced against that same file, not against a general VVIP catering brief.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Ciro Redondo
Across the wide-body stand at MUCA, a full three-cabin uplift is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are fitted, which is what a group movement or a special mission actually needs from this field. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators and multi-leg group charters alike, with charter flight catering in Ciro Redondo scaled to the same reference code whatever the operator.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MUCA
The single wide-body stand at Ciro Redondo is what a carrier books when this station sits on its routing as an outstation rather than a base, and ad hoc airline catering here is planned around that one position rather than a shared pool of gates. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boarded alongside the cabin uplift across a multi-leg rotation through Cuba.

Private jet and FBO catering at AVI
Sequencing a business aviation movement around the single wide-body stand at Ciro Redondo is the constraint that governs every private jet catering run here, since the same ramp position serves scheduled and charter traffic in turn. FBO catering is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as business aviation catering and business jet catering for a wide-body uplift.

“I asked for galley ready meals at Ciro Redondo (AVI/MUCA) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Clara — Cargo Flight Support Manager
“Our operation through Ciro Redondo (AVI/MUCA) included an ad hoc catering request at short notice. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Omar — Aviation Operations Executive
“For our business jet at Ciro Redondo (AVI/MUCA), I arranged FBO catering with a few passenger-specific requests. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Crew meals, lead times and access at Ciro Redondo airport
What operations gets asked every week about Ciro Redondo.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering at AVI board, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
The loading sheet records every handover from our kitchen to the stand, and the uplift travels under escort for airside delivery before it is boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height, never left at the foot of the aircraft.
Does MUCA cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
Every movement in this category runs on a documented protocol file, with VIP flight catering and government flight catering handled by the same security-cleared crew and sealed before the cart leaves our kitchen.
Who delivers private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Ciro Redondo?
Across the field, our dedicated branch reaches every FBO and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, so FBO catering never runs to a separate standard.
How far in advance must an order be placed at Ciro Redondo Airport, and how late can the specification change?
The clearance our coordinator works to sets the outer lead time, but within that window a cabin specification can still be revised close to departure without breaking the loading sheet, and last minute airline catering is handled through the same desk rather than a separate process.
At what point are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for AVI departures?
The documentation stage comes first: SPML codes, halal and kosher requirements are logged per passenger before production starts, then made on a separate line and sealed ahead of the standard cabin run.
Is airline catering cost at MUCA published, or quoted per rotation?
The coordinator handling your rotation builds the figure from cabin count, specification and loading window rather than from a fixed list, since airline catering cost varies with what each movement actually needs.
