Aviation catering — Chihuahua, Mexico
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Chihuahua (MMCU / CUU)
CUU (IATA) · MMCU (ICAO)
A wide-body aerodrome reference code at Chihuahua lets a full three-cabin aircraft take its inflight catering on the same stand it parks on, with no transfer between vehicles. Uplift moves by hi-loader straight to galley height, so in-flight catering leaves our kitchen sealed and reaches the aircraft door without ever standing on the ramp.

Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at CUU
The wide-body reference code at Chihuahua sets the pace of the loading window: a hi-loader has to reach galley height before the seal is broken, and that sequencing is fixed before the aircraft is on stand. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, not borrowed for the rotation, so the catering uplift moves the moment the apron opens the slot. Nothing in that sequence is estimated after the fact; it is worked to the same order every time a wide-body turns at CUU.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Chihuahua sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the chain of custody has to survive all three before the galley catering is ever opened. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest of those steps rather than the average of them, because the busiest one is the one that decides whether the load reaches the aircraft on time. The galley is closed only once the load matches the sheet it left the kitchen on. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and a signature closes the load at the aircraft, so the record runs unbroken from kitchen to galley.
One seal, one signature, one route from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Chihuahua (CUU)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for MMCU
Airport catering behind Chihuahua's stands is run from one facility holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line, all under one roof rather than split across suppliers. That structure is what lets airport catering here move at the pace a wide-body rotation demands, with HACCP procedure carried across every section of the kitchen rather than applied only where it is checked. The same kitchen provisions CUU on cold-chain terms from the first tray packed to the last cart sealed.
The team that handles government flight catering at MMCU is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects rather than to a general service brief. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks before anything else, at Chihuahua as everywhere on this network.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Chihuahua, Mexico
VVIP catering written per mission at Chihuahua airport
Menus at Chihuahua are designed by cabin and by mission rather than issued as a single fixed offer, so a scheduled sector and a state movement are never served from the same specification. Where local sourcing applies, dairy, orchard fruit and regional produce move into the plan in general terms, without naming a single supplier or a single dish. Inflight catering in Mexico is written to season as much as to cabin, so a specification shifts across the year rather than staying fixed against a printed brochure. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the tray is sealed, so nothing reaches the aircraft undocumented.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Chihuahua are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering at CUU is filed and signed off before the aircraft is on stand, so presentation never depends on who happens to be working that rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MMCU run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals in Chihuahua and crew meals at Chihuahua are boxed separately from the passenger load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept on distinct manifests so the flight deck order never mixes with the cabin.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Chihuahua are documented per passenger before the tray leaves the kitchen, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Halal and kosher sets for inflight catering at Chihuahua are produced on a separate line and sealed before that line ever meets the general load.

Flight catering airside delivery at Chihuahua
Chihuahua carries scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements across three runways built to a wide-body reference code, and that mix turns catering into three different problems on the same day: a delegation is a documentation problem, a peak departure wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a problem of keeping the same specification correct every time it flies.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by hi-loader to galley height, with a coordinator on the ramp for every load rather than a handler working from a general instruction. Airline catering in Mexico and airport catering at MMCU are planned stand by stand rather than issued from a single fixed schedule, because the reference code held here changes what equipment can meet the aircraft at each one. In-flight catering at CUU and aviation catering at Chihuahua run off the same duty roster so a diversion or a late change never waits on a second desk.
What we commit to at this station is one named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the aircraft door, with inflight catering in Chihuahua carried on that same record from kitchen to galley.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at MMCU
01
Government and state flight catering at CUU
A wide-body reference code at this field means a delegation aircraft is met by the same stand infrastructure as a scheduled widebody, which keeps protocol movements out of a separate, improvised routine. Government flight catering at Chihuahua for state visits and official delegations runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, ready for a head of state movement on short notice.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Chihuahua
The reference code held at MMCU is wide-body, which lets a private airliner park and board on the same terms as a scheduled aircraft rather than on a workaround. Royal flight catering here serves BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP movements to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other royal household requirements produced on request rather than improvised per flight.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at MMCU
We load a full three-cabin specification onto the wide-body stands this reference code makes available, counting every tray against the loading sheet before the cart leaves the kitchen. Charter flight catering at CUU covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, and charter flight catering at Chihuahua is staged in the order the galleys are laid out on each aircraft type.

Airline and ad hoc catering at CUU
Across a 2600 m longest runway rated to a wide-body reference code, Chihuahua takes scheduled carriers running this field as an outstation alongside the ad hoc work that comes with any mixed traffic mix. Ad hoc airline catering at CUU covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG handled on the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at Chihuahua
A 2600 m longest runway at this field supports the GA traffic that shares the apron with scheduled and charter movements, and business aviation here is handled by our dedicated private-jet branch rather than folded into the main line. Private jet catering at MMCU is delivered to the FBOs on the field and to the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We arranged group charter catering for the group at Chihuahua (CUU/MMCU) after a late schedule update. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. Very practical for team and group charter work. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at Chihuahua, Mexico
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Chihuahua, Mexico
What operations gets asked every week about Chihuahua.
Ask operations directly →Does airline catering cost the same for every load at CUU?
Every quotation is built on the specific cabin count, specification and loading window of the rotation, since we do not publish a fixed airline catering cost list; the desk returns a figure once those three are known.
Is airline catering delivered airside at MMCU, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Our coordinator moves the sealed load by hi-loader straight to galley height, so airside delivery never passes through a curbside handoff before it reaches the cabin door.
Chihuahua, how far in advance does an order need to be placed?
The sealed cart is what carries the final specification, and lead time depends on cabin count and mission; a scheduled rotation is booked well ahead while last minute airline catering for a diversion or technical stop is worked against the loading window itself.
Whose protocol governs VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Chihuahua Airport?
For state, royal and VVIP movements the file is documented per passenger and cleared before the aircraft is on stand, with security-cleared staff carrying it through to signature at the galley door.
