Aviation catering — Maupiti, French Polynesia
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Maupiti (NTTP / MAU)
MAU (IATA) · NTTP (ICAO)
A 956 m runway sets the traffic this field boards: narrow-body aircraft turning through Maupiti on scheduled, charter and private movements. Inflight catering here runs off one ops desk, hi-loader boarding to galley height and wide-body-standard tray sets scaled down for a single narrow-body stand, with in-flight catering uplift held airside from kitchen to galley door.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aircraft catering lead times at Maupiti (MAU)
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at NTTP
Ramp access at Maupiti is worked through a single runway and one stand, so the catering uplift is sequenced rather than run in parallel with a second movement. Every cart crossing the apron here follows the same route from kitchen to galley door, timed against that one-stand reality rather than against a wider ramp. The window is fixed by that constraint, not by the size of the aircraft on it.
Between our kitchen and the single stand at Maupiti sit screening, escort and the apron traffic of one runway working every movement in sequence. We plan the catering uplift against the narrowest part of that sequence, because a delay on one stand has nowhere else to go. Each galley catering load is sealed at the kitchen, logged again at handover, and closed with a signature that keeps the chain of custody intact from cart to cabin door.
One stand, one sequence: the seal at the kitchen and the signature at the door.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving Maupiti, French Polynesia
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Maupiti airport
The flight kitchen provisioning Maupiti runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, built to HACCP standard and to the cold chain a single-runway station still has to hold. Airport catering at Maupiti is planned around that one facility rather than around a network of outstations, so every tray set for every movement leaves from the same sealed line. Airport catering in this setting means one production route, one standard, applied to every rotation the runway takes.
The team that handles government flight catering at Maupiti is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires. That continuity matters more on a single-stand field, where a substitution has no second route to fall back on. Every sealed uplift carries the same paperwork, checked by the same hands, movement after movement.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at NTTP / MAU
VVIP catering written per mission at Maupiti (MAU)
Menus for Maupiti are written chef-side to the cabin and the mission, then locked to a specification before the cart is sealed. French Polynesian produce sits in the plan where it fits the route — fish, tropical fruit and dairy sourced within reach of the island rather than flown in against the clock. Inflight catering here follows the season rather than a fixed printed list, adjusted rotation by rotation without breaking the tray-set standard. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP work at Maupiti is plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single tray. Presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation through Maupiti receives the same VIP flight catering standard each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MAU take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to a narrow-body fit. Crew meals and pilot meals travel boxed to the roster, with cabin crew meals kept on a separate line from the passenger service.
Protocol & dietary
Halal and kosher sets, along with the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line at Maupiti and sealed before it joins the main uplift. Inflight catering documentation travels per passenger, so a delegation, a household or a single traveller with a medical requirement is covered under the same standing paperwork.

Inflight catering delivered to the stand at MAU
Maupiti works a narrow-body traffic profile off one runway and one stand, which turns every catering plan into a documentation and sequencing exercise rather than a volume one: a single delegation or a single charter fills the whole slot, so paperwork accuracy carries more weight here than throughput.
The uplift travels from our flight kitchen across the apron on a sealed cart, escorted to the one stand this field works, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than a shared pool. Airline catering in French Polynesia is coordinated from that single route, and aviation catering at Maupiti follows the same escort every time a movement is on the ground.
One coordinator owns the rotation from seal to signature: in-flight catering at MAU, inflight catering at Maupiti and airport catering at NTTP are all worked from that single handover, closed the same way on every stand.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Maupiti airport
01
Government and state flight catering at Maupiti
Sequencing a single stand around one movement at a time is what a state visit through Maupiti actually asks of the ramp, well before the cabin is discussed. Government flight catering here documents the protocol file per passenger, with security-cleared staff and a head of state aircraft uplift sealed at the kitchen before catering at NTTP ever reaches the apron.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at MAU
A 956 m runway sets what a private airliner can bring through Maupiti, and household standards travel with it regardless of the stand available. Royal flight catering here holds a written specification on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and other royal household requirements produced on request for every VVIP rotation.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Maupiti
We stage a full three-cabin uplift against the loading sheet for every charter working the single stand at Maupiti. Charter flight catering at MAU and charter flight catering at NTTP both cover ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, sequenced through that one stand in the order the galleys are laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Maupiti
Off the narrow-body reference held at Maupiti, ad hoc airline catering covers carriers running this station as an outstation on a single stand rather than a bank of them. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering move off one duty roster, with crew meals at MAU and crew meals at NTTP boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation, ad hoc catering at MAU held to that single-stand sequence throughout.

Private jet and FBO catering at MAU
A 956 m runway is what brings business aviation traffic onto this field alongside the scheduled and charter movements it already carries. Private jet catering at NTTP reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, kept brief and factual behind the commercial segments above it.

“We used the team at Maupiti (MAU/NTTP) for AOG catering after an unexpected operational change. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. We would use them again for another short-notice stop. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Naomi — Flight Experience Manager
“We used the service at Maupiti (MAU/NTTP) for catering for airlines without flight kitchen on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. The team confirmed everything clearly, handled the local coordination, and delivered the order ready for loading. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Amara — Operations Desk Manager

They answered our questions without overcomplicating the process and kept the final cost aligned with the confirmation. The clear communication made the booking easy. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at NTTP / MAU
What operations gets asked every week about Maupiti.
Ask operations directly →Which FBOs and GA terminal facilities receive private jet catering at MAU?
The sealed cart follows the same route from our kitchen to every point on the field, so private jet catering and FBO catering reach the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field on one cold chain, without a separate route for either.
Where does the lead time for an order at NTTP get set?
The loading sheet fixes how far in advance a specification is locked, though last minute airline catering can still be worked against a tighter window when the change reaches the kitchen before the cart is sealed.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at Maupiti, and how does it reach the aircraft?
One runway and one stand set the span the sealed cart has to cross, and airside delivery here is loaded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.
How much does airline catering cost at Maupiti?
Maupiti has no published price list, because airline catering cost turns on cabin count, specification and the loading window booked for the rotation; the desk returns a quotation once those are known.
What protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flights at MAU?
We handle VIP flight catering and government flight catering under the same protocol file: security clearance on record, the uplift sealed at the kitchen, and the paperwork checked at handover.
When are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced at NTTP?
Once a special meal code is confirmed on the booking, halal, kosher and the full SPML range are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before joining the main uplift.
