Aviation catering — Nueva Gerona, Cuba
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Nueva Gerona (MUNG / GER)
GER (IATA) · MUNG (ICAO)
Our crews board wide-body aircraft at Nueva Gerona (MUNG / GER) using hi-loader access straight to the galley door, an aerodrome reference code that admits the traffic other stations turn away. That capability sets the terms for inflight catering and in-flight catering here: uplift is carried on the ramp, sealed, and boarded on schedule rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at MUNG / GER
Every catering uplift at Nueva Gerona is planned against the same fixed points: the sealed cart leaving our kitchen, the ramp access it needs to cross the apron, and the moment it reaches the galley door. Ramp access is held under our own clearance rather than requested case by case, which keeps the route from kitchen to stand short and repeatable on every rotation through MUNG. Nothing on that route depends on the aircraft type on the tail, because the reference code held here already sets the load to a wide-body standard.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Nueva Gerona sit screening, an escort onto the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp; we plan every catering uplift against the worst of the three rather than the best case. Chain of custody runs on paper as much as on the trolley: a seal applied at the kitchen, a temperature log opened at the same moment, and a second reading taken at the galley on handover. Galley catering only counts as delivered once that log closes and a signature is on file, so the record and the tray arrive together, not one after the other.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: nothing changes hands unrecorded.
Airline catering companies' production standard at MUNG
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Nueva Gerona
Airport catering at Nueva Gerona runs from a single production line built to serve the wide-body reference code held at this field, rather than from a satellite unit sized to a smaller airframe. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, which is what lets airport catering here move from a written specification to a sealed tray set without a second handling stage. HACCP governs every stage of that line, and the cold chain it protects runs unbroken from the larder to the hi-loader waiting on the ramp at GER.
The team assigned to government flight catering at MUNG is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in as volume requires. 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 is held to. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is set once for catering at Nueva Gerona rather than re-established every time a delegation moves.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Nueva Gerona airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at GER
Menus for Nueva Gerona are built to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed inflight catering standard, so a scheduled rotation and a state movement can be planned from the same kitchen without either being treated as the exception. Cuban produce sets the seasonal base of the specification: dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into the tray sets and cold plates rather than a menu written elsewhere and shipped in. Every set carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical codes, filed per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed. The same file travels with the tray from the kitchen to the galley, so nothing on board is unlabelled.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Nueva Gerona are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed daily menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Every course is filed against the standing order before it leaves the kitchen, so VIP flight catering here is repeatable across a repeat rotation rather than improvised on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MUNG run a multi-choice hot service sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed in oven-ready formats rather than plated individually. Crew meals travel in the same load: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, keeping flight-deck sets apart from the cabin.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Nueva Gerona are documented per passenger rather than assumed from the booking class, covering household, religious and medical requests. Halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line from the main run and sealed before it joins the rest of the load, alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes inflight catering here is built to carry.

Flight catering airside delivery at Nueva Gerona, Cuba
Nueva Gerona works scheduled, charter and government traffic off the same wide-body stand rather than splitting that mix across separate infrastructure, and the aerodrome reference code held here decides how a rotation is loaded: a state delegation is treated as a documentation problem first, a charter wave as a capacity problem, and a repeat scheduled service as a matter of holding the same specification twice running.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader, taken directly to the galley door across the apron rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for every stand this traffic uses. Airline catering at Nueva Gerona and aviation catering for the charter and government segments both move on that same route, and airport catering at Nueva Gerona is planned stand by stand rather than assumed to be interchangeable across rotations.
On every one of those movements we commit to the same thing: one coordinator named to the rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft, which is what keeps inflight catering in Cuba and in-flight catering at GER consistent regardless of which segment is on the stand that day.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at GER
01
Government and state flight catering at Nueva Gerona
A head of state aircraft on the wide-body stand at Nueva Gerona is boarded from the same reference code that clears a scheduled widebody, which is what makes government flight catering here repeatable rather than a one-off arrangement. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared before they touch the load, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at MUNG
On the ramp at Nueva Gerona, the 2,500-metre runway is what admits the private airliners this segment flies on, from BBJ and ACJ types through to wide-body VIP configurations. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assumed.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at GER
A full three-cabin load has to be staged in the order the galleys are laid out before the runway length at Nueva Gerona becomes the limit on turnaround, which is the constraint charter flight catering at Nueva Gerona is planned against on every group movement. ACMI and wet-lease operators, tour groups and special missions are counted against the same loading sheet, and charter flight catering at GER runs off that sheet rather than a separate one per operator.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Nueva Gerona
The wide-body reference code held at Nueva Gerona lets a carrier running this station as an outstation plan a full three-cabin load without downgrading to a smaller aircraft standard. Outstation catering in Nueva Gerona, diversion catering at GER and technical stop catering share one duty roster, and ad hoc airline catering at MUNG covers AOG cover across a multi-leg rotation with the same crew handling ad hoc catering at GER on short notice.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at MUNG
The 2,500-metre runway at Nueva Gerona is short enough to keep this traffic on the GA apron rather than the wide-body stand, which is where business aviation is worked from at this field. Private jet catering in Cuba reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run off the one kitchen.

“We needed an airline catering broker at Nueva Gerona (GER/MUNG) and the support was excellent. One contact handled the order from confirmation through delivery, which saved our dispatch team a lot of follow-up. We would use the service again without hesitation.

“We used the service for VIP flight catering in Nueva Gerona on a VIP rotation through GER/MUNG. Everything arrived fresh, well presented, and easy for the cabin crew to organize before boarding. Good local support for a VIP operation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at Nueva Gerona airport
Crew meals, lead times and access at Nueva Gerona airport
What operations gets asked every week about Nueva Gerona.
Ask operations directly →Does Nueva Gerona airport catering allow a specification change close to departure?
Every order placed for Nueva Gerona carries a stated lead time, and each cabin specification can still be revised inside that window under our last minute airline catering process, provided the change reaches the kitchen before sealing begins.
Are halal, kosher and special meal codes produced at GER?
The kitchen coordinator files every halal, kosher and SPML request against the passenger manifest before production starts, so each special meal set is documented and sealed on its own line rather than mixed into the main run.
What does airside delivery look like at MUNG?
We take every sealed cart across the apron by hi-loader, straight to galley height, so airline catering at Nueva Gerona never sits at the foot of the aircraft waiting to be carried up by hand.
When can VIP, VVIP and government flights be catered at Nueva Gerona?
Once a movement is confirmed to our protocol desk, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under the same security clearance and chain-of-custody paperwork, regardless of how much notice the rotation gives us.
Where does private jet catering reach on the field at Nueva Gerona?
The sealed handover log covers every stop on the field, so private jet catering and FBO catering reach the GA terminal and the FBOs there on the same documented cold chain as a wide-body uplift.
