Aviation catering — Trujillo, Honduras
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Trujillo (MHTJ / TJI)
TJI (IATA) · MHTJ (ICAO)
A single narrow-body runway of 1,071 metres shapes every rotation through Trujillo, so inflight catering here is planned to the stand rather than to a terminal grid. Aircraft board by hi-loader to galley height, with wide-body-grade discipline applied to a smaller ramp, and each uplift moves from our kitchen to the aircraft door under one continuous in-flight catering brief.

In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, Trujillo (TJI)
Ramp access at Trujillo is what turns a catering uplift into a boarded aircraft rather than a delivery left on the apron. Our sealed carts move from the kitchen to the narrow-body stand under one continuous handover, cleared for the single runway's traffic rhythm rather than a multi-pier terminal. Every stage between kitchen and galley door is logged, so the loading window at MHTJ is a record, not an estimate.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Trujillo sit screening, an escort through the ramp and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway field, and galley catering here is planned against the busiest of those, not the easiest. The convoy is where a load is actually at risk, not the food inside it, so the route is fixed, timed and escorted before the first cart moves. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and again at handover on the stand, and the chain of custody closes with a signature at the galley door, so a catering uplift at MHTJ carries a written record from seal to boarding, not a verbal assurance.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: that is the whole chain.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Trujillo, Honduras
The flight kitchen that provisions Trujillo runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, holding the cold chain from first prep to sealed handover. Airport catering at MHTJ is planned against a single narrow-body stand, which means HACCP production discipline is what makes volume possible without a second runway to fall back on. That same kitchen carries airport catering for scheduled, charter and VIP movements through Trujillo on one duty roster.
The team that handles government flight catering at Trujillo is the same named crew every rotation, with security clearance held on file, each member on the access list and trained to royal household service standards. Paperwork travels with the sealed uplift rather than behind it, so a delegation arriving through MHTJ meets a crew it does not have to brief twice. Nothing about that team changes between one movement and the next.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at TJI
VVIP catering written per mission at MHTJ / TJI
Menus for flights through Trujillo are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, with the country's dairy, fish and orchard produce drawn on where it serves the specification rather than as a theme. From passenger meal boxes to VVIP menus, the Trujillo inflight catering range follows what the aircraft and the movement require, not a fixed set list. Charter groups, government delegations and scheduled carriers each receive a written menu cycle held on file between rotations, so a repeat operator sees consistency rather than a new brief each time. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, then produced and labelled to match that record before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins through Trujillo receive VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed by default. Presentation is filed against the standing order at MHTJ so a repeat rotation sees the same result each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at TJI take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft's fitted galley, with crew meals in Trujillo boxed separately from the passenger load. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals at MHTJ are built to the roster rather than to a generic count, so nothing is left short on a full rotation.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Trujillo are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full IATA special meal code range, then produced on a separate line before sealing. Inflight catering in Trujillo treats a household, religious or medical requirement as a standing record, not a one-off request, so it carries forward to the next rotation.

Flight catering airside delivery at Trujillo airport
A single narrow-body runway and one reference code mean Trujillo works scheduled, charter and government traffic through a compact ramp rather than a multi-pier terminal, so a delegation movement is handled as a documentation task and a peak wave as a sequencing task, both on the same stand. Airline catering in Trujillo is planned around that constraint rather than against a bigger apron it does not have.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, moving from our kitchen to the stand under ground handling coordinated on the apron, with the cart escorted the whole way rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering at MHTJ and airport catering at MHTJ both run off that same route and the same duty roster, so a scheduled rotation and a charter movement are worked to one method, not two.
One coordinator holds each rotation from seal to signature, and aviation catering in Honduras from this station commits to that same handover on every load, wide-body-grade discipline scaled to a narrow-body field.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at Trujillo airport
01
Government and state flight catering at MHTJ
Our kitchen holds a 1,071 m runway constraint as the baseline for every state movement through Trujillo, sequencing a delegation's uplift around the single available stand rather than across a wider apron. Government flight catering at MHTJ documents the protocol file per passenger, assigns security-cleared staff to the rotation and has the head of state aircraft uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at TJI
A 1,071 metre runway governs which private airliners can work Trujillo, and that ceiling is what our household planning is built against. Royal flight catering at MHTJ covers private airliners within that limit — BBJ, ACJ and comparable wide-body VIP types where the field permits — held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assumed.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Trujillo
Narrow-body aircraft are what the reference code at Trujillo allows onto the single stand, and that is the airframe our charter planning is built around rather than a wider category. Charter flight catering in Trujillo serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering at TJI stages each galley in the order it is fitted rather than by a generic sequence.

Airline and ad hoc catering at MHTJ
A 1,071 m runway sets a narrow-body ceiling on what lands at Trujillo, which means every uplift here is planned to that airframe rather than to a wide-body cycle. Ad hoc airline catering at TJI covers carriers running this station as an outstation, with outstation catering in Trujillo, diversion catering and technical stop catering handled off one duty roster, AOG included, and crew meals in Honduras boxed separately for every multi-leg rotation, with crew meals at TJI held to the same roster on the return leg.

Private jet and FBO catering at TJI
On a field limited to a single narrow-body reference code, the same ramp discipline applies whether the aircraft on the stand is scheduled or private. Private jet catering at Trujillo is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal by our dedicated business aviation branch, run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, so FBO catering here carries no separate standard, business aviation catering and business jet catering included.

“We arranged head of state aircraft catering at Trujillo (TJI/MHTJ) for a sensitive movement. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. Reliable, discreet, and easy to work with. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Paul — Flight Operations Coordinator
“We ordered BBJ catering for our aircraft at Trujillo (TJI/MHTJ) and the result was very good. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. Exactly the level of detail we expect for VIP flying. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Edgar — Cargo Duty Officer
“Our charter program used the service at Trujillo (TJI/MHTJ) for umrah flight catering. The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Crew meals, lead times and access at TJI
What operations gets asked every week about Trujillo.
Ask operations directly →How much does airline catering cost at MHTJ?
MHTJ pricing is quoted per rotation rather than published as a list, driven by cabin count, menu specification and the loading window requested; the airline catering cost the desk returns reflects those three inputs.
Which FBOs and the GA terminal does Trujillo private jet catering reach?
A dedicated cart and route serve every FBO on the field and the GA terminal directly, so private jet catering and FBO catering at this station run on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
When is halal, kosher and IATA special meal coverage confirmed for Trujillo Airport?
Once the passenger list and special meal codes are received, halal, kosher and the full SPML range are documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before sealing.
Where is the cut-off recorded for changing a specification at TJI?
The confirmed loading sheet is the record that governs it; lead time and how far in advance an order must be placed are set at booking, with later changes logged against that same sheet up to the loading window.
What protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at MHTJ?
We run VIP flight catering and government flight catering under a documented protocol file, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift for every movement.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at Trujillo?
A single narrow-body stand is where every load is staged, so airline catering moves by hi-loader for airside delivery straight to the galley door rather than to the foot of the aircraft.
