Aviation catering — Coban, Guatemala
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Coban (MGCB / CBV)
CBV (IATA) · MGCB (ICAO)
The single runway at Coban, 1018 metres, sets a narrow-body reference code and every rotation through this field is worked to it. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at this station, boarding wide-body-standard tray sets by hi-loader to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government uplift.

Wide-body aviation catering at Coban
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window for MGCB departures
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Coban
At Coban, ramp access is what the loading window is actually built on. Every cart is sealed before it leaves the kitchen and checked again at the apron, so the catering uplift is a documented handover rather than an estimate. That sequence holds for the single narrow-body stand this field works, whatever the rotation ahead of it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Coban sit screening, an escort across the apron, and whatever traffic the narrow-body slot ahead of us leaves on the ramp. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that sequence, not the best case, because the galley catering has to be sealed and moving before the aircraft calls for it. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and the cart is not released until a name is on the sheet for both ends. That chain of custody travels with the galley on paper, not as a promise made on the phone.
Sealed at the kitchen, signed at the aircraft: one name carries the load throughout.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Coban airport departures
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at CBV
Sealed hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof at the kitchen behind Coban, run to HACCP across every stage from intake to cart. Airport catering here is planned around one narrow-body stand, so the cold chain is checked at fewer handover points than a wide-body field would require, and each one is logged rather than assumed. That single-stand discipline is what lets airport catering at MGCB hold its standard on a rotation that a bigger field would spread across several bays.
The team that handles government flight catering at Coban is the same named crew every rotation, carried across from state and household work at other stations rather than assembled for one movement. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for this stand, and is trained to the paperwork that has to travel sealed with the cart. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks before it checks anything else about catering at CBV.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Coban (CBV)
VVIP catering to a written specification at MGCB
Menus for Coban are built to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, because a narrow-body rotation through this field carries scheduled, charter and VIP work on the same stand within a single day. Guatemalan produce sits in the plan where it earns its place: dairy, orchard fruit and freshwater fish drawn from the surrounding region rather than named as a single dish. From passenger meal boxes to a plated VIP flight menu, the inflight catering plan here follows the aircraft rather than a fixed cycle. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and labelled to the cabin it boards.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Coban are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is checked course by course against that specification before it is sealed for boarding.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CBV take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on this stand. Crew meals at Coban, including cabin crew meals and pilot meals, are boxed separately to the roster and boarded alongside the passenger tray sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Coban are documented per passenger rather than assumed from a standing order, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes. That inflight catering line is produced on its own bench and sealed before it joins the rest of the uplift.

Flight catering airside delivery at MGCB / CBV
Coban runs a narrow-body reference code off its single 1018-metre runway, which means scheduled, charter and occasional government movements share one stand rather than a bank of them, and every catering plan here is built around that single slot rather than around parallel bays. A repeat rotation through this field is a repetition problem for us, not a capacity one: the same tray specification has to hold rotation after rotation without drifting.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, escorted across the apron to the stand and boarded by hand at the galley door, since the narrow-body configuration here does not call for hi-loader reach. Airline catering at Coban is planned stand by stand rather than queued through a shared handling desk, with our own crew holding ramp access under our own badges.
On this station we commit to one coordinator named against the rotation, sealed carts checked at both ends, and a signed handover before the aircraft is released, so aviation catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and airport catering at MGCB and CBV all run off the same file rather than four separate promises.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at CBV
01
Government and state flight catering at MGCB
At the single narrow-body stand Coban works to, a state or delegation movement is handled on the same slot as a scheduled service, which is what makes the protocol file the deciding document rather than the aircraft type. Government flight catering here is documented per passenger, run by security-cleared staff, and sealed at the kitchen before a head of state movement is ever named on a manifest.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at CBV
Working to one narrow-body stand means a royal or VVIP movement has to be sequenced around whatever else the slot is holding that day, and the household specification is what keeps that sequencing predictable. Royal flight catering at Coban covers private airliners, BBJ and ACJ configurations among them, held to a written royal household standard kept on file between movements, with halal and other VVIP dietary sets produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Coban
1018 metres of runway, and that length is what sets the narrow-body ceiling every charter movement through Coban is planned against. Charter flight catering at CBV covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before the aircraft calls for it; charter flight catering in Coban is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, never assembled on the stand itself.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MGCB
A narrow-body aircraft is what the single stand at Coban is built to take, and that reference code is what lets an ad hoc airline catering order be turned around on the same slot as a scheduled service. Carriers running this field as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation rather than treated as a separate call.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at CBV
Our kitchen works the same 1018-metre narrow-body slot for business aviation as for scheduled traffic, so private jet catering at CBV moves through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than a separate process. Business aviation catering and business jet catering here run the same cold chain and the same signed paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering delivered on request.

“Our flight at Coban (CBV/MGCB) required airline catering IATA standards with clear service-by-service organization. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. Very cabin-friendly catering. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Nina — Flight Operations Specialist
“We had a catering uplift requirement at Coban (CBV/MGCB) and the coordination was very smooth. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. Good support for a changing flight schedule. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Tom — Airline Cargo Coordinator
“For our business jet at Coban (CBV/MGCB), I arranged business jet catering with a few passenger-specific requests. They followed my notes closely, kept me updated, and delivered at the time agreed with the FBO. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at Coban (CBV)
Technical stop catering questions at Coban (CBV)
What operations gets asked every week about Coban.
Ask operations directly →At what point does airline catering at Coban reach the aircraft?
The sealed cart clears our kitchen first, then moves under escort across the apron for airside delivery, and is boarded by hand at the galley door on the single narrow-body stand this field works.
Can a specification for CBV still change close to departure?
Lead time and how far in advance an order is placed both depend on the cabin count and the rotation ahead of it on the stand, and a specification can generally still move up to a point our desk confirms per booking, right up against last minute airline catering cut-off.
If your aircraft routes through MGCB, is delivery covered at the FBOs and the GA terminal?
There are FBOs on the field at Coban, and private jet catering reaches all of them and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift; FBO catering is arranged directly with our desk.
How far does a quotation for airline catering cost at Coban go before it is confirmed?
Our HACCP production standard sets the floor, and from there a quotation depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window held for the stand, with the desk confirming the final figure per booking.
Coban, does the station handle VIP flight catering and government flight catering under protocol?
The hi-loader is not required on this narrow-body stand, so the cart is boarded by hand at the galley door under the same protocol file, with security-cleared staff and documentation per passenger for VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike.
Do you produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at CBV?
Yes, halal, kosher and the full set of SPML special meal codes are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before they join the rest of the uplift.
