Airline & VIP flight catering — Honduras
Airline and VIP Flight Catering Across Honduras
Airline catering in Honduras runs on hi-loader boarding straight to the galley, not delivery at the foot of the aircraft. San Pedro Sula's 2,805-metre runway and La Ceiba's 3,010-metre field carry wide-body movements alongside scheduled inflight and aviation catering demand across the country's smaller fields.

Each station below carries its own runway data, reference code and, where recorded, its FBOs. Use them to check which field takes a wide-body uplift and which is set up for narrow-body and general aviation traffic.

How Aviation Catering Operates in Honduras
Honduran traffic is split between two wide-body-capable fields and a wider set of narrow-body stations. San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba carry the aerodrome reference code for wide-body operations, and their runway lengths — 2,805 m and 3,010 m respectively — support scheduled and charter movements that Tegucigalpa, Trujillo, Guanaja, Tela, Coxen Hole and Palmerola do not take at the same aircraft size.
An uplift here starts with the same request an ops desk sends anywhere: flight number, stand, pax and crew count. Airline catering companies working these fields build the load in a production kitchen and move it across the ramp under cold chain to the point of boarding, coordinated with ground handling services already assigned to the flight.
Airport catering at San Pedro Sula benefits from a resident FBO, AEROCLUB SAP, which sits alongside commercial operations on the same apron. Elsewhere, Tegucigalpa's short 1,863 m runway and the coastal fields at Tela and Guanaja keep to narrow-body traffic, which shapes how a load is staged and how many turns a kitchen supports per rotation.
Across every station, the discipline is the same: one order, one load, one uplift confirmed before wheels turn.

Ordering Airline Catering: Honduras
To request airline catering services at any Honduran station, send the ops desk your flight number, ETA, aircraft type, stand assignment, and pax and crew counts broken down by cabin, together with any special meal codes required. This lets the kitchen confirm quantities against the aircraft's actual configuration before the load is built. Include ground handling contact details where a diversion or technical stop is involved, so the uplift can be coordinated directly with the crew already assigned to the aircraft. Submit a request through the quote form to begin.
Honduras Catering Questions Answered
What Honduran Ops Desks Ask Us
Ask operations directly →Which Honduran airports can take a wide-body aircraft for catering?
San Pedro Sula (2,805 m runway) and La Ceiba (3,010 m runway) both carry the aerodrome reference code for wide-body operations. The remaining stations are set up for narrow-body traffic.
Is there an FBO in Honduras for business aviation catering?
AEROCLUB SAP operates at San Pedro Sula and receives private jet and business aviation loads on the same cold chain used for airline uplifts.
Can government or VIP flight catering be arranged at a narrow-body field like Tegucigalpa?
Yes. Government flight catering and VIP flight catering are built around cleared staff and sealed loads rather than runway length, and can be staged at any published Honduran station.
What information does the kitchen need for a diversion into Honduras?
Flight number, aircraft type, stand, and pax and crew counts by cabin, sent to the ops desk as early as possible so the load can be built and moved to the aircraft.
Do charter and ACMI operators use the same Honduran stations as scheduled airlines?
Charter flight catering and wide-body charter movements are handled at the same wide-body-capable fields, San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba, alongside scheduled airline traffic.
