Aviation catering — Ceiba, Puerto Rico
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Ceiba (TJRV / NRR)
NRR (IATA) · TJRV (ICAO)
Our kitchen provisions the wide-body reference code held at Ceiba, boarding three cabins through hi-loader access straight to galley height rather than to the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering at NRR and in-flight catering here run on the same uplift, with aviation catering staged for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures off one ops desk.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Ceiba (NRR)
The catering at TJRV moves on a sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the field, boarded onto the wide-body stand by hi-loader at galley height. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, not borrowed at the gate, which is what keeps the sequence repeatable rotation after rotation. Every catering uplift at Ceiba is logged the same way, so the record matches the timeline shown alongside it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Ceiba sit screening, an escort across the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the average of them, so the chain of custody holds even when the apron is busy. Temperature is logged when the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, with a signature closing the load at the aircraft.
One sealed cart, one escort, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Ceiba, Puerto Rico
The flight kitchen behind Ceiba runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed the wide-body reference code held at this field. Airport catering at TJRV is planned against that same production line rather than assembled ad hoc, which is what lets a multi-class order move without a second kitchen involved. HACCP governs every stage of it, and airport catering in Ceiba is logged from the cold chain at sealing through to the cart that leaves for the stand.
The team that handles government flight catering at Ceiba is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, household service standards are trained into the team rather than briefed once, and the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift is theirs to close. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is held constant here regardless of how the traffic on the field varies.
Halal airline meals and special meals at NRR
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at TJRV / NRR
Menus at Ceiba are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed cycle, moving from a main-cabin tray set through Business plating to First and VVIP service on the same rotation. Inflight catering in Puerto Rico draws on regional produce where the season allows it — dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into the specification rather than a supplier named on the page. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before it leaves the kitchen rather than sorted on the aircraft. The specification travels with the load, so a crew checking a tray against the manifest finds the same information twice.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Ceiba take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering at TJRV is checked against that specification cart by cart before it is loaded, so the presentation on board matches what was signed off in the kitchen.
Business cabins
Business cabins in Ceiba run multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as oven-ready tray sets rather than plated to order. Crew meals in Ceiba and crew meals at NRR travel separately from the passenger load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed to the flight roster.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at NRR are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering at Ceiba produces these on a separate line from the main service and seals them before they leave it, so the tray a passenger receives matches the code booked against their name.

Flight catering airside delivery at Ceiba airport
Ceiba runs a single wide-body stand against one runway, which means every rotation through here is worked as a distinct event rather than folded into a bank of parallel movements. A delegation on that stand is a documentation exercise, a peak departure is a capacity exercise, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition exercise — three different problems that the same stand forces us to plan for one at a time rather than in parallel.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to that stand by sealed cart, escorted across the apron, and boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering in Ceiba is coordinated with the ramp handler on duty for the movement, so the escort and the loading crew are working from the same timeline as the flight itself. Inflight catering at TJRV and aviation catering at TJRV both run off that one ops desk, with airport catering in Puerto Rico and in-flight catering in Puerto Rico logged the same way rotation after rotation.
On every stand booked here, one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover close the load the same way, whatever the mission behind it.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Ceiba, Puerto Rico

Government and state flight catering at TJRV
A head of state aircraft boarding at Ceiba draws on the same wide-body reference code that governs every other movement on this stand, which keeps the protocol file consistent rather than improvised for the occasion. Government flight catering at NRR covers state visits and official delegations, with the protocol documented per passenger, security-cleared staff assigned to the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at NRR
Across the 3353 metres of runway at Ceiba, a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP — is boarded to the same written household specification kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt for each visit. Royal flight catering at NRR runs alongside VVIP catering and halal or other household dietary requirements on request, with catering at NRR logged under the same clearance as any other rotation on the stand.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Ceiba
A full three-cabin uplift has to be sequenced against a single wide-body stand at Ceiba, which is the constraint that governs group movements and special missions here more than any other. Charter flight catering at TJRV and charter flight catering in Ceiba cover ACMI and wet-lease operators, sports and tour group charters, and repatriation or humanitarian missions, staged and counted against the loading sheet in galley order.

Airline and ad hoc catering at TJRV
The wide-body reference code held at Ceiba is what lets a scheduled carrier run this field as an outstation rather than a diversion-only stop. Ad hoc airline catering at NRR, outstation catering in Ceiba and diversion catering sit on the same duty roster as technical stop catering and AOG cover, with crew meals at TJRV and crew meals at Ceiba boxed separately across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at NRR
The 3353-metre runway at Ceiba, which carries the wide-body traffic on the one stand here, also takes the business aviation movements worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field. Private jet catering at TJRV is delivered to them on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering handled by our dedicated branch.

Yes, by routing the same sealed load to whichever FBO or the GA terminal the movement is parked at, with FBO catering handled on the same paperwork as an airline uplift.
How far does airline catering reach the aircraft at TJRV?
The chain of custody runs from our kitchen seal to the stand, with airside delivery closing on hi-loader boarding directly to galley height rather than a handoff at the foot of the aircraft.
Under what protocol are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered in Ceiba?
There is a named, security-cleared team that handles VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, working to a protocol file documented per passenger and closed before departure.
Ceiba — how much does airline catering cost at this airport?
The sealed cart and hi-loader load that reach the stand are costed against cabin count, specification and the loading window booked, and our desk returns a quotation rather than a fixed airline catering cost.
How far in advance does NRR need an order placed?
NRR works to a lead time set by cabin count and specification, and how far in advance an order should land depends on the mission, though last minute airline catering can still be worked against the stand booking.
Can TJRV produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes?
The full span of SPML codes, plus halal and kosher sets, is produced on a separate line at our kitchen and documented per passenger before the tray is sealed for special meals.
