VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Scarborough (TTCP / TAB)
TAB (IATA) · TTCP (ICAO)
At Scarborough (TTCP), a 2744 m runway takes wide-body movements onto the single stand this station holds, and inflight catering here is built around that reach rather than around distance from the terminal. AERO GOURMET boards the aircraft directly by hi-loader to galley height, which keeps in-flight catering and every uplift under one documented chain from kitchen seal to signature on the ramp.

Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Scarborough (TAB)
Your catering uplift at Scarborough moves as one sealed run, from the kitchen door to the galley of the aircraft parked on the single wide-body stand. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the hi-loader crosses the apron without waiting on a second clearance once the convoy is cleared. Every stage between the seal and the signature is logged against the same rotation, not against a general schedule for the airfield.
Between our kitchen and the stand at TTCP sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy carries more risk to a load than the galley catering itself ever does.
We plan the route against the worst of those delays rather than the average of them, keeping chain of custody unbroken from the moment the cart is sealed to the moment it clears the galley door.
Temperature is logged at sealing and again at handover, and the loading crew signs the sheet that closes the catering uplift before the hi-loader pulls back from the aircraft.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Scarborough
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago
Airport catering at TTCP runs from a kitchen built to feed a single wide-body stand without slack in the schedule, holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof. Every batch is worked to HACCP procedure before it is carted, and the cold chain that starts in that kitchen is the same one that ends at the galley door in Scarborough. Airport catering here is not split across sites: one kitchen, one uplift standard, one crew that knows the ramp.
The team that handles government flight catering here is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access roster, and trained to royal household standards before a sealed uplift ever reaches the stand. They work the protocol paperwork alongside the tray build, so the documents travel with the cart rather than behind it. Nobody outside that roster touches a cleared load.
Halal airline meals and special meals at TAB
VVIP catering written per mission at TTCP / TAB
AERO GOURMET writes its inflight catering to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle, drawing on the produce of Trinidad and Tobago where the menu calls for it. Fish, dairy and orchard fruit sourced locally sit alongside a standing tray specification that carries across First, Business and main cabin. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, never assumed from the booking class. Every set is labelled before it leaves the kitchen, so the cabin crew loads it without opening a box to check.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Scarborough are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed against that same order, not improvised at the tray line, so a repeat rotation sees the same standard every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at TTCP take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, tray sets and meal boxes built to the roster. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the cabin service, so the flight deck and the galley never draw from the same set.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Scarborough are documented per passenger, covering halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes produced on a separate line before sealing. Household, religious and medical sets move through the same inflight catering chain as the main cabin service, never as an afterthought added at the stand.

Flight catering airside delivery at Scarborough airport
Scarborough carries scheduled, charter and government movements across a single wide-body stand, and that mix makes documentation the constant pressure rather than volume: a delegation brings a protocol file, a charter brings a group manifest, and both have to clear the same ramp on the same day. Aviation catering here is planned against that pattern stand by stand, not against a generic turnaround time.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the apron by a sealed cart, boarded by hi-loader directly to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Our own loading crew works the ramp under escort, and airline catering in Scarborough runs off that same crew on every rotation, scheduled or ad hoc.
What we commit to at TTCP is one coordinator per movement, carts sealed at the kitchen and opened only at the galley, and a signed handover that closes the load. In-flight catering at Scarborough is measured against that signature, not against a promise made in advance. Airport catering at TAB stays on that same file from booking to boarding.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Scarborough (TAB)
01
Government and state flight catering at Scarborough
The wide-body reference code that TAB holds allows a full three-cabin uplift on one stand, which is what a delegation movement needs without spreading the load across several gates. Government flight catering for state visits and official delegations is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and sealed at the kitchen before catering at TAB ever reaches the head of state aircraft on the ramp.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at TTCP
Our kitchen holds a written household specification on file between movements, ready to run the moment a private airliner is confirmed on the wide-body stand this reference code supports. Royal flight catering at Scarborough covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP aircraft, with halal and royal household dietary requirements produced to that standing file rather than built from scratch on the day.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at TAB
Wide-body governs every stand assignment at this station, which is why ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions all load against the same reference code rather than a smaller aircraft's rules. Charter flight catering at Scarborough covers a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering at TAB is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, multi-leg rotations included.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Scarborough
A single 2744 m runway sets how a loading plan is sequenced here, since every wide-body movement shares the one stand rather than a choice of gates. Carriers running Scarborough as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boarded from Scarborough on the same multi-leg rotation and crew meals at TTCP logged against the same manifest.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at TTCP
A private airliner or a business jet cleared for this wide-body-rated field can be boarded from the same kitchen that supplies the main stand, since the reference code that governs the runway also governs what reaches the ramp. Private jet catering at TTCP is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged urgent airline catering at Scarborough (TAB/TTCP). Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. We would use them again for another short-notice stop. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Tomas — Charter Services Manager
“We used the service at Scarborough (TAB/TTCP) for off-station catering on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. Updates were concise and the delivery timing matched our handling plan. A solid solution for outstation operations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Zoe — Duty Station Manager
“For our flight at Scarborough (TAB/TTCP), we needed a quick airline catering cost before confirming the order. The inclusions were easy to understand, lead time was realistic, and there were no surprises when the final order was confirmed. The clear communication made the booking easy. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at TAB
Technical stop catering questions at TAB
What operations gets asked every week about Scarborough.
Ask operations directly →Whose deadline governs how far in advance an order must be placed at TTCP?
For a standard rotation, the lead time runs from booking to the loading window, and the specification can still change closer to departure than most outstations allow; ask early and we confirm how far in advance the change window closes for last minute airline catering.
When does Scarborough know what airline catering costs?
Once cabin count, specification and loading window are confirmed, the desk returns a quotation built on those three factors rather than a published price list.
Is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Scarborough Airport?
Our coordinator routes FBO catering to every operator on the field, business jet and private airliner alike, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Which method moves airline catering onto the aircraft at TAB?
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart from our kitchen straight to the galley door, so airside delivery reaches the aircraft without a stop at the foot of the steps.
Where is the record kept that proves VIP flight catering and government flight catering are handled under protocol at TTCP?
The sealed uplift travels with a signed handover file logged at both ends, and that same file carries the protocol paperwork for VIP, VVIP and government movements.
