Aviation catering — Cabo Rojo, Dominican Republic
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Cabo Rojo (MDCR / CBJ)
CBJ (IATA) · MDCR (ICAO)
A single narrow-body stand at Cabo Rojo forces a loading plan built on sequence, not spare capacity: every cart timed to one galley door rather than spread across parallel gates. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at MDCR, boarding scheduled, charter, VIP and private jet uplift by hi-loader to galley height on the wide-body-capable ramp.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at Cabo Rojo
In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, MDCR
Ramp access is what the loading window at Cabo Rojo is actually measured against: the interval between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the galley door closing on the apron. A narrow-body reference code keeps that route short and repeatable, so the catering uplift is timed against the same sequence on every rotation rather than re-planned from scratch. What the timeline below shows is that interval, not an estimate of it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at CBJ sit screening, an escort and whatever apron traffic is moving that hour, and the chain of custody is planned against the worst of those, not the average. A named handler stays with the galley catering from seal to signature, so responsibility for the load never passes silently from one pair of hands to another. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the catering uplift only closes once both logs and a signature are on file.
One sealed cart, one named handler, one signature, from kitchen to galley door.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for CBJ
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Cabo Rojo airport
The flight kitchen that provisions Cabo Rojo runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding a narrow-body ramp where every cart has to be right the first time. Airport catering at CBJ is built on that single production line rather than spread across satellite units, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from the walk-in to the cart. HACCP governs every stage of it, and airport catering at MDCR is checked against that standard on every rotation, not audited after the fact.
The team behind government flight catering at Cabo Rojo is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. Catering at MDCR for a household or a delegation is handed to that fixed team rather than to whoever is on shift, and the specification they work from is written and kept between movements. No dish and no method is described here, only the clearance and the record that back the load.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at MDCR / CBJ
VVIP catering to a written specification at Cabo Rojo (CBJ)
Menus at Cabo Rojo are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusted for scheduled service, a charter block or a single VIP rotation. Dominican Republic produce sits behind the main-cabin and business trays where the season allows it — dairy, tropical fruit, fish landed locally — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Inflight catering at MDCR is planned this way for every class of movement the airport takes, from a single main-cabin sector to a full three-cabin charter. Every tray leaves the kitchen with its allergen, halal, kosher or medical code labelled per passenger and per cabin, so nothing reaches the galley unlabelled.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Cabo Rojo are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for VIP flight catering. Presentation is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation lands the same way at CBJ every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MDCR run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft's own galley, with no delivery left waiting at the foot of the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, kept apart from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Cabo Rojo are documented per passenger before a single tray is built: halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, household and medical requirements alike. Inflight catering in Dominican Republic for this station is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it, kept apart from the general load.

Aviation catering delivered to the stand at CBJ
Cabo Rojo's single narrow-body stand carries scheduled, charter and VIP traffic across the same ramp, which turns any delegation or peak-hour wave into a documentation and sequencing question rather than a capacity one: every cart has to be right, because there is no second stand to absorb an error. Airline catering at MDCR is planned against that single point of contact rather than spread across parallel gates.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by sealed cart from our kitchen to the ramp, then hi-loader to galley height, with our own crew on the apron for the handover. Aviation catering at Cabo Rojo and inflight catering in Cabo Rojo both move through that same route, cart to loader to galley door, on the cold chain logged at each end.
On this station we commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts at every handover, and a signed record closing the load, so airport catering in Cabo Rojo stays traceable from kitchen to stand.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at MDCR / CBJ
01
Government and state flight catering at Cabo Rojo
Our crews work the 1509 metre runway at Cabo Rojo as a single-stand routine, which is what lets government flight catering here run to one fixed protocol rather than a shifting one. Delegations and state visits are handled with the file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and every head of state movement sealed at the kitchen before it reaches the stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at MDCR
The 1509 metre runway at Cabo Rojo sets the working envelope that royal flight catering here is planned within, one stand and one fixed sequence rather than several. Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and comparable VVIP configurations — are held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at CBJ
A wide-body-capable charter aircraft boards at Cabo Rojo under the narrow-body reference code held here, which is the fact that sets how a full cabin load is staged on the ramp. Charter flight catering at MDCR covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering in Dominican Republic counted against the loading sheet in the order the galleys are laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Cabo Rojo
A 1509 metre runway keeps Cabo Rojo working narrow-body movements, which is exactly the traffic ad hoc airline catering at CBJ is built around.

What operations gets asked every week about Cabo Rojo.
Ask operations directly →Which factors set airline catering cost at Cabo Rojo?
The loader, the cart and the route to the galley door set the base of any quotation, then cabin count, specification and the loading window move the price from there. We publish no fixed price list; the desk comes back with a figure once those are known.
Does Cabo Rojo Airport require a fixed lead time for an order?
Every rotation carries its own lead time, and each specification can still be adjusted closer to departure than a first order can. We ask how far in advance a booking is known so the kitchen can hold the loading window open for last minute airline catering where the schedule allows it.
When can VIP flight catering and government flight catering be arranged at CBJ?
When a delegation, a household or a VVIP movement is confirmed, our protocol line is briefed and the file is opened straight away. As soon as clearance is on record, security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift are scheduled to the same fixed routine every time.
Where does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at MDCR?
The delivery record shows every uplift logged from our kitchen to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike, on the same cold chain as an airline load. FBO catering here follows the identical paperwork and handover signature as any other rotation, whichever apron it lands on.
What does airline catering delivery look like on the ramp at Cabo Rojo?
We move every load by sealed cart from the kitchen to the stand, then hi-loader to galley height, with airside delivery handled by our own escorted crew throughout. Nothing is set down at the foot of the aircraft; it goes on board directly.
