Aviation catering — Coxen Hole, Honduras
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Coxen Hole (MHRO / RTB)
RTB (IATA) · MHRO (ICAO)
At Coxen Hole (MHRO / RTB), a 2240 m runway sets a narrow-body reference code, and AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, aviation catering and in-flight catering to that operating profile, across scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements. We board every cabin by hi-loader to galley height rather than to the foot of the aircraft, sequencing each wide-body-standard uplift so the tray sets and the paperwork arrive together.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Coxen Hole (RTB)
Ramp access is what decides how a catering uplift actually reaches the aircraft at Coxen Hole, rather than distance alone. Once a hi-loader is cleared onto the apron, the sealed carts move straight to galley height, with no handoff at the foot of the aircraft to slow the sequence. Every stand at MHRO is worked to that same sequence, whichever movement type is on it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Coxen Hole sit screening, an escort onto the apron, and whatever traffic is working the ramp that hour; we plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the average. Chain of custody starts at the kitchen door: each cart is sealed, logged and escorted, so the galley catering that boards is the same load that left the kitchen, unopened. Temperatures are read at sealing and read again at handover, and the loading crew's signature closes the record for that rotation at RTB.
One responsibility, one seal, from the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Coxen Hole, Honduras
Inside the kitchen that provisions RTB, hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line run under one roof, feeding the same apron every rotation. Airport catering at Coxen Hole depends on that single site rather than on a network of subcontractors, which is what keeps a diversion and a scheduled departure on the same production line. Airport catering at MHRO runs to HACCP throughout, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray leaves production to the moment it is sealed into the cart.
The team behind government flight catering at MHRO is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from a general pool. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first when catering at Coxen Hole is booked for a delegation rather than a scheduled flight.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at RTB
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at MHRO / RTB
Menus at Coxen Hole are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a fixed catalogue, drawing on Honduras produce where the season allows it: fish, tropical fruit and dairy sit alongside the standing tray-set range. A scheduled rotation and a VVIP movement are planned from the same kitchen but against different specifications, one built for volume and one built for a household file. Inflight catering at MHRO is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, labelled by cabin before it is sealed. That labelling travels with the cart, not with the paperwork alone, so a crew checking a tray at the galley door finds the same code the ops desk was given.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Coxen Hole are plated to a written specification rather than a standard catalogue, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the movement, so a repeat rotation is served to the same specification each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MHRO take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed into tray sets ready for the trolley run. Crew meals travel in the same load: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and rostered against the crew list for that sector.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Coxen Hole are documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before sealing, covering household, religious and medical sets. Halal and kosher trays and the full range of IATA special meal codes sit inside that same inflight catering line, coded by cabin so the galley crew can match tray to passenger without delay.

Flight catering airside delivery at Coxen Hole airport
Coxen Hole runs a mixed traffic profile against a single narrow-body reference code, which turns a delegation movement into a documentation exercise and a peak departure wave into a capacity one on the same stand. Airline catering in Honduras built around that mix has to plan the paperwork and the tray count as separate problems, even when they land on the same rotation.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader from our kitchen to the ramp, with airside delivery held to the stand rather than to a curbside handoff. Aviation catering in Honduras is coordinated with the ramp handler on duty so the cart convoy moves inside the same clearance window as the aircraft's own turnaround. Inflight catering at RTB and in-flight catering at Coxen Hole both run off that one ops desk, which is what keeps a diversion from becoming a second booking.
Airport catering at Coxen Hole comes down to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover for every movement that crosses this ramp.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Coxen Hole
A narrow-body reference code governs the stand this traffic is worked from, and that code sets the movement sizes a charter booking can be planned around here. Charter flight catering at MHRO for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and multi-leg missions is loaded as a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out; charter flight catering across the wider Honduras network follows the same sequence.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Coxen Hole
A single 2240 m runway sets the narrow-body reference code this stand loads to, which is what an outstation booking has to be built around rather than around a fixed tray count. Ad hoc airline catering at RTB covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG handled the same way, across a multi-leg rotation; crew meals in Coxen Hole travel with every one of those bookings.

Private jet and FBO catering at RTB
A business aircraft cleared under this narrow-body reference code is worked from the same apron as the scheduled traffic, which keeps its catering on the same clearance rather than a separate one. Private jet catering at MHRO 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 and business aviation catering run from that one kitchen; business jet catering follows the identical sequence.

“For a government operation through Coxen Hole (RTB/MHRO), we required discreet presidential flight catering. Special meals and crew items were clearly separated, and the aircraft-side handover was smooth. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Selim — Ground Operations Manager
“For a VIP rotation through Coxen Hole (RTB/MHRO), we used the team for BBJ catering. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. A very smooth experience for the cabin team. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Zoe — VIP Charter Manager
“Our charter program used the service at Coxen Hole (RTB/MHRO) for umrah flight catering. Despite the large order, communication stayed simple and final quantities were confirmed without confusion. A dependable choice for group charter operations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Airline catering services FAQ for RTB
Crew meals, lead times and access at RTB
What operations gets asked every week about Coxen Hole.
Ask operations directly →RTB — do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights here, and under what protocol?
The sealed cart carries the protocol file with it, so VIP flight catering and government flight catering at this station move under the same documented protocol as any state movement, checked against the access list before it leaves the kitchen.
Do you produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at MHRO?
Yes, on a separate production line: halal and kosher trays and the full SPML range are produced apart from the main run and labelled per passenger before sealing.
How much does airline catering cost at Coxen Hole?
The figure rests on cabin count, specification and the loading window booked for the rotation; there is no published price list, and our desk returns a quotation once those three are confirmed.
Can an order still change close to departure at MHRO Airport?
The lead time runs from first booking to final tray count, and a specification can still move within that window provided the change reaches us before the cart is sealed.
At what point does airline catering at RTB reach the aircraft?
The sequence starts with the hi-loader clearing onto the apron, then carts move straight to galley height with airside delivery held to the stand rather than to a curbside handoff.
Is a hangar slot needed before private jet catering at MHRO is delivered?
There is FBO catering available to every operator on the field, delivered to the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled airline uplift.
