Aviation catering — Makemo, French Polynesia
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Makemo (NTGM / MKP)
MKP (IATA) · NTGM (ICAO)
A single narrow-body runway of 1,500 metres shapes every rotation through Makemo, so uplift windows are held to one aircraft at a time rather than a wave of arrivals. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here run from a sealed kitchen line to the galley door by ramp access, with hi-loader boarding staged whenever wide-body diversions or charter movements call for it.

Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at Makemo (MKP)
Catering uplift at NTGM is planned from the sealed cart at our kitchen line to the galley door, not guessed at once the aircraft is on stand. Ramp access is held on our own crews, so the sequence from seal to signature does not depend on a shared apron queue. Every stage between the two points is logged the same way, whichever aircraft type is working the rotation.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Makemo sit screening, an escort, and whatever apron movement the narrow-body traffic is running that day. We plan the galley catering delivery against the worst of those, not the average of them, so a delayed escort never becomes a missed uplift. The catering uplift is sealed at the kitchen door and logged again at handover, with chain of custody carried by name from one point to the other. A signature closes the galley record, and it travels with the load rather than staying behind in a file.
One name is responsible for the load from the seal to the signature.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Makemo airport departures
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at NTGM / MKP
Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof at the kitchen that provisions Makemo, which keeps a narrow-body rotation moving without splitting the load across sites. Airport catering at MKP runs to HACCP standards from that single production point, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is packed to the moment it clears the galley door. Airport catering in French Polynesia rarely has this concentration of production under one roof, and it is what lets a single kitchen answer both a scheduled service and an ad hoc call.
Government flight catering at Makemo is handled by the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and they are trained to the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, before a single tray is discussed.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at MKP
VVIP catering to a written specification at NTGM / MKP
From First and Business through to the main cabin, the airline catering menu at Makemo follows the cabin, the mission and the season rather than a fixed printed card. Produce drawn from French Polynesia informs the fresh elements where the flight profile allows it, run alongside sets built for longer sectors and cold storage. Inflight catering at Makemo covers halal, kosher, allergen and medical sets, each documented per passenger and per cabin so nothing is matched by guesswork at boarding. Every set is labelled before it leaves the kitchen, with the cabin and the seat reference carried on the same sheet as the specification.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Makemo are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same presentation each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at NTGM run on multi-choice hot service, built to a specification the galley on each aircraft type can actually run. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger load and matched to the roster rather than the seat count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at MKP are documented per passenger, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes rather than a generic vegetarian fallback. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the main uplift, keeping the cross-contact risk out of the standard tray run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Makemo airport
A single narrow-body runway at Makemo keeps the traffic mix to one aircraft working the stand at a time, which turns catering planning into a sequencing problem rather than a capacity one: every rotation gets the full attention of one loading crew instead of a shared queue. That mix still spans scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements, each carrying its own documentation load even when the aircraft type stays the same.
Uplift travels from our kitchen line to the stand by sealed cart, with our own crews holding ramp access rather than routing through a shared apron pool. Airline catering in Makemo is loaded through the galley door under escort, and airport catering at Makemo is planned stand by stand rather than against a fixed bay assignment. Aviation catering at MKP, in-flight catering at MKP and inflight catering at NTGM all run off the same duty roster, so a change on one segment is visible to every crew working the rotation.
One coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, whatever the mission on the stand that day.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at NTGM / MKP
01
Government and state flight catering at Makemo
A narrow-body reference code at Makemo sets the layout our crews plan against before a delegation ever lands, so the protocol file is built to the actual cabin rather than a generic template. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official movements for a head of state aircraft, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Makemo
The narrow-body reference code held at Makemo governs the cabin configuration a royal household movement is served against, and it sets the specification before the aircraft is confirmed on stand. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat rotations, from a written specification kept on file, with halal and other dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Makemo
A narrow-body aircraft on a wet-lease or ACMI rotation can be boarded here on the reference code Makemo already holds, without a special dispensation on the stand. Charter flight catering covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering at NTGM is staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Makemo
A single narrow-body runway of 1,500 metres at Makemo means every rotation is worked in sequence, which suits an outstation pattern more than a bank of simultaneous arrivals. Ad hoc airline catering covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals boxed to the same schedule.

Private jet and FBO catering at Makemo
On the same narrow-body field that serves Makemo's scheduled and charter traffic, business aviation is worked from the GA terminal rather than a separate compound. Private jet catering at MKP is delivered to the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled by our dedicated branch.

“We needed an airline catering broker at Makemo (MKP/NTGM) and the support was excellent. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Aisha — Airport Duty Manager
“We used the service for VIP flight catering in Makemo on a VIP rotation through MKP/NTGM. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. A very easy service to use at this station. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Tomas — Corporate Aviation Manager
“Our passenger profile required special meal codes at Makemo (MKP/NTGM), with several different dietary restrictions. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

What operations gets asked every week about Makemo.
Ask operations directly →What protocol applies to VIP, VVIP and government flights at MKP?
We run VIP flight catering and government flight catering under one protocol line, with security clearance held on file and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
How much does airline catering cost at NTGM?
NTGM carries no published price list; airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window, and the desk returns a quotation once those are set.
Where does the lead time start for an order into Makemo?
The loading sheet is the record that sets it: how far in advance an order is confirmed decides how late a specification can still change without resequencing the rotation, and last minute airline catering is worked against that same sheet.
Can Makemo Airport take airline catering delivered airside?
The single narrow-body stand here is where the airside delivery happens, with a hi-loader staged when a wide-body diversion calls for galley-height boarding rather than door-level handoff.
When are halal, kosher and SPML sets produced for a flight through MKP?
Once a special meal code is confirmed on the booking, halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes are produced on a separate line and sealed ahead of the main uplift.
Which route does private jet catering take to the ramp at NTGM?
A sealed cart carries the load from our kitchen line to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, on the same route and paperwork as FBO catering for a scheduled aircraft.
