Aviation catering — Ken Jones, Jamaica
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Ken Jones (MKKJ / POT)
POT (IATA) · MKKJ (ICAO)
Ken Jones holds a single narrow-body reference code, and that governs how we plan every uplift here: one loading sequence, no stacked stands to juggle. Our crews board this field by hi-loader to galley height, running inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body-standard uplift from one kitchen to the aircraft door.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Ken Jones (POT)
Ramp access at Ken Jones is planned around one narrow-body reference code, which means one apron sequence rather than a queue of aircraft competing for the same minutes. Our kitchen builds each catering uplift against that single sequence, sealing carts before they cross the apron and timing the run so nothing sits waiting on the tarmac. The result is a load that reaches the galley door on the same schedule the aircraft itself keeps.
Between our kitchen and the single stand at Ken Jones sit an apron crossing, a security check and a short escorted run, and every catering uplift is planned against whichever of those runs longest that day. A narrow-body reference code means one aircraft on the ramp at a time, so the chain of custody is short and it is documented at both ends rather than spread across several loads. Temperatures go into the log when the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen and again when it is handed over at the aircraft, and a signature closes each load before the cart is released.
One coordinator, one seal, one signature: the load is accounted for door to door.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Ken Jones
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Ken Jones, Jamaica
The flight kitchen that provisions Ken Jones runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, built to HACCP standard and staged for a single narrow-body sequence rather than a bank of competing loads. Airport catering here moves on one confirmed run, so the cold chain from sealing to handover is short and it is logged at both ends. That single sequence is also what lets airport catering stay predictable through a busy day, because there is only ever one aircraft on the apron drawing against it.
The team that handles government flight catering at Ken Jones is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the household paperwork that travels with a sealed load. That continuity matters more than headcount on a field with one reference code, because the same hands sign the same chain of custody every time. Nothing about the specification changes crew to crew, only the mission on the manifest does.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at POT
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at MKKJ / POT
Menus for Ken Jones are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a fixed cycle: a scheduled rotation, a government movement and a private charter each draw a different specification off the same kitchen. Jamaica's produce runs through the standing menus in general terms, fish, orchard fruit and dairy worked into the seasonal frame rather than named as a single dish. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets filed against the manifest before the load is sealed. That documentation travels with the tray set, not as an afterthought attached later.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins routed through Ken Jones are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and course-by-course service available on request for VIP flight catering. The presentation is filed against the standing order, so the same standard repeats whether the movement is a single rotation or a recurring one.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MKKJ take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets, sized to the fitted galley rather than adapted after loading. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and matched to the roster, keeping flight deck and cabin crew sets apart from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements for POT are documented per passenger: household and religious sets, medical requirements, and the full run of IATA special meal codes covering halal, kosher and related codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, keeping it apart from the standard passenger run.

Airport catering delivered airside at Ken Jones airport
Ken Jones handles scheduled, charter, government and general aviation traffic across a single narrow-body stand, which turns every peak period into a sequencing problem rather than a capacity one: one aircraft on the ramp, one loading window, no second load competing for the same minutes. A government delegation or a private charter routed through here is therefore mostly a documentation exercise, since the physical handling does not change with the manifest.
Our uplift reaches the aircraft by a short escorted run from the kitchen across the apron to the stand, sealed before it crosses and handed over under escort rather than left at the foot of the steps. Airline catering and airport catering both move on that same short route, and in-flight catering for the cabin follows the identical chain of custody as crew provisioning, logged rather than assumed. Inflight catering for every segment we cover at Ken Jones is planned against that one sequence, load by load.
We commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts and a signed handover, regardless of which segment is on the manifest that day.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at POT
At Ken Jones, a single narrow-body reference code becomes the household's advantage: one loading sequence means one team, one chain of custody, and no competing aircraft to divide attention. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering private airliners and halal or household requirements on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Ken Jones
A single narrow-body stand at Ken Jones means every charter movement is worked into one loading sequence rather than around competing aircraft, which is the constraint the loading sheet is built to. Charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is staged as a full three-cabin uplift, counted against that sheet before the galley doors close, and charter flight catering for repeat rotations follows the identical order each time.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MKKJ
A narrow-body reference code governs every rotation through Ken Jones, which keeps ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering and diversion catering on the same single loading sequence rather than a queue of competing aircraft. Technical stop catering follows the identical route, and crew meals for both cabin and flight deck travel with it, boxed to the roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at POT
One narrow-body reference code at Ken Jones, and that single loading sequence extends to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field as readily as to a scheduled aircraft. Private jet catering in Ken Jones runs on the same cold chain and the same sealed paperwork as any airline uplift, delivered to the ramp handler rather than left at the door.

“For our departure from Ken Jones (POT/MKKJ), we specifically needed aviation catering packaging. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Very cabin-friendly catering. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at POT
Diversion catering and ramp questions at POT
What operations gets asked every week about Ken Jones.
Ask operations directly →Can Ken Jones produce halal, kosher and other special meal codes, and how are they documented?
Halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes are produced at Ken Jones on a separate line and logged per passenger before the tray set is sealed. Each code is filed against the manifest, not attached after the load leaves the kitchen.
With one narrow-body stand, can POT still handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
There is a single loading sequence at POT, which keeps VIP flight catering and government flight catering on one documented run rather than several competing ones. Protocol paperwork travels with the sealed uplift and is signed off at handover.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at MKKJ?
Yes, by routing the same sealed load to the ramp handler and the GA terminal that a scheduled aircraft receives, so FBO catering runs on the same cold chain and paperwork as any airline uplift at MKKJ.
Ken Jones — how much does airline catering cost, and what does a quotation depend on?
The hi-loader run, the cabin count, the specification and the loading window all feed the airline catering cost, and no fixed price list exists for it. Our desk quotes each rotation against those factors and returns a figure before the order is confirmed.
How far does airside delivery reach at Ken Jones, and how does the uplift get on board?
Airline catering here moves on the HACCP standard the kitchen is cleared to, carried by hi-loader from the sealed cart to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Airside delivery follows the single loading sequence the stand is worked to.
How far in advance does POT need an order placed, and how late can the specification still change?
POT works to a lead time set against the single loading sequence on the stand, and last minute airline catering is fitted into whatever gap that sequence still has open. Specification changes are taken as late as the sealed cart allows before it crosses the apron.
