Aviation catering — Motu Mute, French Polynesia
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Motu Mute (NTTB / BOB)
BOB (IATA) · NTTB (ICAO)
Inside the narrow-body reference code held at Motu Mute, a single runway of 1500 metres sets the aircraft this station boards and the sequence catering is planned around. In-flight catering here is loaded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, and inflight catering for wide-body operators is uplifted on the same ramp, airside, movement after movement.

Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at Motu Mute airport
The narrow-body reference code held at Motu Mute governs the ramp access our crews use to reach the stand, and it is that access, not a kerb drop, that sets how the window is worked. Every cart leaving our kitchen for the apron here is logged before it moves and again once it clears the galley door, so the catering uplift is a documented sequence rather than an estimate. The same log runs whether the movement is a scheduled sector or an ad hoc call to the stand.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Motu Mute sit screening, an escort across the apron and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp, and the chain of custody we build is planned against the worst of that, not the best. Every galley catering cart is sealed before it leaves the kitchen and stays sealed until the handover on the stand, so nothing on the route between them is left to memory. Temperature is logged at the seal and logged again at the aircraft, and the catering uplift only closes once a name is signed against both readings.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving NTTB / BOB
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Motu Mute (BOB)
Airport catering at Motu Mute runs from a single production line built around the narrow-body reference code this field holds, so hot production, a cold larder and the protocol cell sit under one roof rather than split across buildings. That grouping is what lets airport catering here move a scheduled sector and a state movement off the same day's board without either waiting on the other. HACCP governs every stage the food passes through before it reaches the cart, from intake to the cold chain that carries it to the stand.
The team behind government flight catering at Motu Mute is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in as volume requires. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access to the kitchen and the ramp is limited to that list, and training on household service standards is renewed rather than assumed. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift travel from our kitchen to the aircraft with one accountable name attached to it throughout.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Motu Mute
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Motu Mute, French Polynesia
Menus at Motu Mute are built to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for the season, so a scheduled sector and a private movement are not served from the same fixed list. Where local produce is available on this part of French Polynesia, dairy, fish and orchard fruit move into the plan in general terms, without pinning the menu to a single dish. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled by cabin and checked against the manifest before the cart is sealed. That documentation travels with the food, not separately from it, so nothing is served against an assumption rather than a record.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Motu Mute are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed against that order before the cart leaves the kitchen, so the presentation on board matches what was agreed on paper.
Business cabins
Business cabins out of BOB run on multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals in French Polynesia are boarded the same way: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and rostered against the crew list, not left to the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Motu Mute are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line at our kitchen and sealed before it leaves it, so a coded meal reaches the cabin exactly as ordered.

Flight catering airside delivery at NTTB
Motu Mute's single narrow-body runway shapes a traffic mix of scheduled sectors, ad hoc calls and government movements rather than continuous wide-body waves, and that mix turns catering into a documentation and sequencing problem as much as a volume one: each delegation carries its own paperwork, each ad hoc call its own short notice. Airline catering at Motu Mute is planned stand by stand rather than against a fixed bank, with airport catering in French Polynesia coordinated from the same kitchen that handles government and charter work.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, staged from ramp access held on our own badges rather than delivered to a kerb. Aviation catering at NTTB moves on that same route whatever the segment, with in-flight catering in Motu Mute and inflight catering at Motu Mute logged from the sealed cart to the signed handover.
One coordinator is named to each rotation here, carrying sealed carts and a signed handover through to the stand.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Motu Mute (BOB)
01
Government and state flight catering at NTTB
A 1500 m runway at Motu Mute, and narrow-body is the reference code that governs what can be worked from this ramp for a head of state movement or a state visit. Government flight catering here has the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed at our kitchen before it reaches the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at BOB
Our crews hold the narrow-body reference code at Motu Mute as the working constraint on every royal household movement through this field, not as a limit on the standard applied. Royal flight catering here keeps a written specification on file between movements, covering private airliners such as a BBJ or an ACJ, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Motu Mute
Narrow-body is the reference code Motu Mute holds, and it governs the cabin layouts a charter movement through this field can carry. Charter flight catering at Motu Mute and charter flight catering in French Polynesia both run a full three-cabin uplift for ACMI, wet-lease and group movements, counted against the loading sheet and staged to the galley layout on board.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at NTTB
A single runway of 1500 metres at Motu Mute limits the wide-body waves this field can hold, so ad hoc airline catering here is sequenced call by call rather than banked against a scheduled peak. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals at BOB boxed to the same roster.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at BOB
A business jet inbound to Motu Mute is worked from the same narrow-body reference code that governs the rest of the field, which keeps its catering off a separate track. Private jet catering at BOB is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“For our departure from Motu Mute (BOB/NTTB), we specifically needed aviation catering packaging. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Dimitri — Crew Planning Coordinator
“For a changing schedule at Motu Mute (BOB/NTTB), we needed flexible tech stop. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Maya — Trip Planning Manager
“We used the team for private jet catering at Motu Mute (BOB/NTTB) on a VIP trip. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at Motu Mute
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Motu Mute
What operations gets asked every week about Motu Mute.
Ask operations directly →Which protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering in Motu Mute?
The hi-loader route to the galley door carries every sealed load here, and government flight catering follows the same documented protocol whether the movement is a state visit or a VIP flight catering charter.
Where are halal, kosher and other special meals documented for Motu Mute Airport?
The manifest carries the special meal codes against each passenger, and halal, kosher and other SPML sets are produced on a separate line and logged before the cart is sealed.
What does airline catering cost at BOB?
We price against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than a fixed list, so the desk returns a quotation once those details are set.
When can private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at NTTB?
Once a movement is confirmed on the field, FBO catering is delivered to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
How is airline catering delivered airside at Motu Mute?
Motu Mute is worked by hi-loader boarding to galley height rather than kerb delivery, with airside delivery carried straight from the sealed cart to the aircraft.
Is there a lead time for orders at Motu Mute Airport, and how late can a specification change?
The coordinator on this rotation confirms how far in advance an order should be placed and will still take a late change provided the loading window allows it, right up to the point the cart is sealed.
