Airline & VIP flight catering — Martinique
Airline, VIP and Private Jet Catering in Martinique
Aviation catering in Martinique runs through Fort-de-France, where a 3000 m runway carries wide-body movements onto a single apron. Loads are built for hi-loader boarding straight to the galley, not left at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering and inflight catering share the same ramp access and the same cold chain.

How Aviation Catering Operates in Martinique
Martinique sits on a single wide-body-capable field, Fort-de-France, where a 3000 m runway supports the aircraft types that dominate its apron: scheduled airline services, seasonal charter movements and government or diplomatic transits through the French Antilles. Airline catering here is built around one production point serving one airport, which keeps the chain short between kitchen and stand.
An uplift request moves through the ops desk with flight number, ETA, pax and crew count per cabin, and the special meal codes tied to the booking. Airline catering companies operating into Fort-de-France work against the same customs and biosecurity frame that governs any French overseas department, with cold chain and HACCP controls carried without a gap from production to load.
Ground handling services at the station support hi-loader boarding directly to the galley door, so a wide-body uplift boards at cabin height rather than being staged at ground level. The same kitchen serves scheduled airline rotations, ad hoc charter uplifts and crew meal orders without a change of process. Airport catering capacity is sized to the runway and stand configuration recorded for Fort-de-France, and requests are confirmed against that fixed ramp capacity rather than an estimate.

Ordering Airline Catering: Martinique
An uplift request for Martinique goes to the ops desk with the flight number, ETA, passenger and crew count broken down by cabin, aircraft type, stand assignment and any special meal codes tied to the booking. This applies equally to a scheduled airline catering order, a charter movement or a government uplift routed through Fort-de-France. Flight crew, cabin crew and cargo crew meal sets are quoted separately from passenger tray sets, and any dietary or protocol requirement is flagged at the same time so production is built against the confirmed load rather than adjusted late. Submit these details through the quote request to get airline catering services confirmed against Fort-de-France's stand and ramp configuration.
