Aviation catering — Koné, New Caledonia
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Koné (NWWD / KNQ)
KNQ (IATA) · NWWD (ICAO)
The narrow-body reference code held at Koné governs every stand assignment and every hi-loader run on this apron. That single classification is what lets us plan inflight catering for scheduled rotations, ad hoc uplifts and VIP movements alike, in-flight catering boarded directly to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering lead times at NWWD / KNQ
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at Koné (KNQ)
Between our kitchen and the galley door at Koné, every catering uplift moves under one continuous responsibility rather than a chain of handoffs. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the apron crossing is scheduled against the narrow-body turnaround rather than fitted around it. That sequence, not a published figure, is what the loading window at NWWD actually measures.
What sits between our kitchen and the stand at Koné is screening, escort and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built to absorb the worst of that rather than the average of it. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft, with nobody outside that line touching the load. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, so every catering uplift arrives with its own record rather than a promise attached to it.
One sealed cart, one signature, one route from our galley to yours.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for KNQ
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Koné, New Caledonia
The flight kitchen that provisions Koné runs hot production, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to seal. Airport catering at this station is planned around that single production line rather than around a network of subcontracted kitchens, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from chiller to cart. Airport catering here means one facility, one standard, and one crew accountable for every uplift that leaves it.
The team that handles government flight catering at Koné is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for a single movement. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp side of the kitchen, and is trained on the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. Catering at Koné depends on that continuity as much as on the kitchen itself.
Halal airline meals and special meals at KNQ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at NWWD / KNQ
Menus at Koné are designed to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, with a plan that shifts for a scheduled rotation, a state movement or a single ad hoc uplift without changing the tray standard underneath it. Where local produce enters the plan, it draws on New Caledonia's fish, dairy and orchard fruit in general terms, worked into a specification rather than named as a dish. Every set travels with its allergen, halal, kosher and medical status labelled per passenger and per cabin, so the galley never has to guess at handover. Inflight catering at Koné is written this way for every segment we serve, from a single-aisle rotation to a full VIP movement.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Koné are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for the movement. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the same presentation repeats across every rotation without a briefing each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at NWWD run on multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed in tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same load, boxed separately and matched to the roster rather than the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Koné are documented per passenger against the household, religious or medical brief on file, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Every SPML set is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, so inflight catering in New Caledonia never crosses a dietary boundary in the kitchen.

Flight catering airside delivery at Koné airport
Koné carries scheduled, charter and government movements across a single narrow-body reference code, which turns a delegation into a documentation task and a peak wave into a capacity one rather than a routing problem. Airline catering here is planned against that same reference code rather than against passenger count alone, since it is the stand geometry that decides what can be loaded and when.
Uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by hi-loader to galley height, with airport catering at NWWD delivered airside rather than left at the stand for a crew to carry aboard. In-flight catering at KNQ and aviation catering in Koné both run off the same ramp routing, held on our own clearance rather than a general handling pass.
On every stand assignment, one coordinator signs the load in and out, with sealed carts the only thing that crosses from kitchen to aircraft.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at NWWD / KNQ
01
Government and state flight catering at Koné
Against the narrow-body reference code held for this field, a delegation movement is planned as a documentation exercise rather than a stand-capacity one. Government flight catering at NWWD covers state visits and official delegations, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and every head of state movement sealed at the kitchen before it reaches the ramp.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at NWWD
A narrow-body reference code sets the stand and galley geometry a private airliner has to be worked around, which is the constraint every royal flight catering plan at Koné is built against before the specification is even opened. VVIP and royal household movements here are held to a written service standard kept on file between rotations, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and other household requirements produced to that same standard on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at KNQ
One narrow-body reference code, and every charter movement through Koné is staged against it rather than against a stand plan drawn up per operator. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet; charter flight catering at NWWD is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, not the order the aircraft arrives.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Koné
A narrow-body rotation booked through Koné on short notice still boards against the same reference code held for every scheduled movement here, which is what makes ad hoc airline catering possible without a separate planning cycle. Outstation catering runs off that same stand geometry, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked the same way, and crew meals at Koné travel boxed to the roster on every one of them. Crew meals in Koné are boxed the same way whether the movement was booked a month out or an hour out.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at NWWD
Our kitchen works the same narrow-body reference code for business aviation as for a scheduled rotation, which keeps a single cold chain running from production to the ramp regardless of aircraft size. Private jet catering at Koné reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on that same chain, with the paperwork that travels with an airline uplift attached to every delivery.

“I asked for tray set catering airline at Koné (KNQ/NWWD) because we had limited time to reset the galley. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Theo — Flight Dispatch Supervisor
“We had an ad hoc catering requirement at Koné (KNQ/NWWD) and the coordination was very smooth. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. Good support for a changing flight schedule. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Chloe — Executive Charter Coordinator
“For our business jet at Koné (KNQ/NWWD), I arranged private jet catering with a few passenger-specific requests. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at KNQ
Technical stop catering questions at KNQ
What operations gets asked every week about Koné.
Ask operations directly →Can Koné airline catering cost be quoted before the specification is set?
Can depends on cabin count, the household or protocol specification and the loading window booked for the rotation, so the airline catering cost at Koné is not a published figure; our desk returns a quotation once those three are known.
When does an order need to be placed for catering at Koné airport?
When a rotation is confirmed is the earliest point we can fix the loading window, though how far in advance an order is placed depends on the segment; last minute airline catering is still worked where the specification and the reference code allow it.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at KNQ?
Yes, by hi-loader direct to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with airside delivery scheduled against the stand's narrow-body turnaround.
What FBO catering do you deliver at NWWD?
We deliver private jet catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled airline uplift.
Which special meal sets are produced for flights through Koné?
The loader carries halal, kosher and the full range of IATA SPML codes on a separate production line, sealed before it leaves the kitchen and labelled per passenger for handover.
