Aviation catering — Tiga, New Caledonia
Tiga (NWWA / TGJ): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
TGJ (IATA) · NWWA (ICAO)
At a narrow-body reference field such as Tiga, boarding is planned to the galley door rather than to the foot of the aircraft, and that method carries across every mission we uplift here. Inflight catering at NWWA moves by hi-loader wherever the stand allows it, with in-flight catering staged so the wide-body standard travels down to a narrow-body rotation without losing a step.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Tiga airport
Sectors leaving Tiga are staged against a fixed sequence, from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the stand. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the catering uplift does not wait behind a general apron pass before it reaches the aircraft. That sequence is the same for a scheduled sector, a diverted one, or a government movement routed through NWWA without notice.
Between our kitchen and the stand at NWWA sit screening, an escort and whatever apron traffic is moving that hour, and the convoy is the part of the job we plan hardest against. Chain of custody runs unbroken from the seal on the cart to the signature that closes the load, with a named handler answering for every stage in between. Galley catering is logged at both ends of that route, temperature checked at sealing and checked again at handover, so the catering uplift arrives provable rather than merely on time.
The convoy is the risk on this route, never the food inside it.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Tiga (TGJ)
The flight kitchen behind NWWA runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed a narrow-body reference stand without a second site in the chain. Airport catering at Tiga is planned from that single kitchen outward, with HACCP procedure governing every line from raw intake to sealed cart. Airport catering in New Caledonia answers to the same standard, so a rotation routed through Tiga meets the same production discipline as any wide-body station on the network.
The team that handles government flight catering at Tiga is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and standing on the access list before a cart is loaded. They are trained to royal household standards and to the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift, so a delegation movement is worked by faces the protocol office has already cleared. Nothing on that line is improvised: the specification is written, filed and followed.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Tiga
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Tiga, New Caledonia
Menus at Tiga are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, so a narrow-body scheduled sector and a private airliner movement are never served from the same fixed sheet. Where produce from New Caledonia fits the specification, dairy, fish and orchard fruit are drawn locally rather than flown in unnecessarily, and inflight catering at NWWA is planned to make use of that when the season allows it. Every set is documented per passenger, covering allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements before it reaches the aircraft. The tray standard is fixed even where the cycle changes week to week.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Tiga are plated to a written specification rather than improvised on the day, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for every household or executive movement, so the presentation is repeatable rather than reinvented each rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at TGJ run on multi-choice hot service, boxed to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft in service. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets at Tiga, rostered separately so the flight deck and cabin crew are never short a set.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements are documented per passenger for inflight catering in Tiga, covering household, religious and medical needs against a written file. Halal and kosher sets, plus the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before that line closes.

Flight catering airside delivery at NWWA
Tiga carries a narrow-body reference profile, which sets a tighter loading sequence than a wide-body stand and turns any delegation or peak-hour wave into a documentation and timing problem rather than a straightforward volume one. Airline catering at NWWA is planned around that constraint from the first booking, with the cabin count fixed before the kitchen builds the load.
The uplift reaches the stand from our own kitchen by sealed cart, escorted onto the apron and handed to the loading crew on the ramp under our own badges rather than a general handling pass. Aviation catering at Tiga and airport catering at TGJ both run off that same route, with in-flight catering in New Caledonia following the identical chain of custody from seal to signature.
On this station we commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts throughout, and a signed handover that closes the file before departure, and inflight catering at TGJ is worked to that commitment on every sector, ad hoc or scheduled.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Tiga (TGJ)
01
Government and state flight catering at Tiga
A narrow-body reference code fixes the cabin layout available at this stand, and that in turn fixes how many delegation seats a single rotation can carry. Within that layout, government flight catering at Tiga covers state visits and official movements with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at NWWA
We hold a written household specification on file between movements, built around the narrow-body reference configuration this stand takes rather than adjusted flight to flight. Our kitchen boards private airliners under that specification, BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP alike, and runs royal flight catering at Tiga with halal and household dietary requirements available on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at TGJ
A narrow-body reference code governs the layout available to charter operators routing through this stand, and it sets the ceiling on cabin count before a loading sheet is drawn. Charter flight catering at Tiga covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at TGJ staged in the order the galleys are laid out for a full three-cabin uplift.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Tiga
A narrow-body reference code sets the cabin configuration this stand can take, which means the loading sheet is fixed to one layout before a rotation is confirmed rather than adjusted stand-side. Within that constraint we run ad hoc airline catering for carriers working NWWA as an outstation, alongside outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with crew meals at TGJ and crew meals at NWWA boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at NWWA
A narrow-body-capable business jet moves through the same reference stand as a scheduled sector, which is what lets private jet catering in New Caledonia sit on the identical ramp routing rather than a separate one. Delivery reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as any airline uplift, kept behind the commercial rotation on this stand rather than ahead of it.

“We were looking for a dependable airline catering broker in Tiga (TGJ/NWWA) and the process was straightforward. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. Very convenient for operational coverage. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Ivan — Duty Station Manager
“We used the service for VIP flight catering in Tiga on a VIP rotation through TGJ/NWWA. Communication was responsive and the team handled a late timing change without any issue. I would use them again for another flight from Tiga. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Luca — Private Aviation Manager
“For our flight from Tiga (TGJ/NWWA), the cabin order included multiple kosher airline meals. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. We were happy with the accuracy of the order. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Tiga (TGJ)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Tiga
What operations gets asked every week about Tiga.
Ask operations directly →What does airline catering cost at NWWA?
We price against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than a fixed list, so the desk comes back with a quotation once those three are set for your rotation.
How is airline catering delivered airside at Tiga?
Tiga uplift moves by sealed cart from our kitchen, escorted onto the apron and boarded by hi-loader to galley height wherever the stand configuration allows it, so airside delivery never routes through a general handling queue.
Which protocol governs VIP flight catering at Tiga Airport?
The sealed cart and its escort route are fixed before any government flight catering or household movement is confirmed, with the protocol file checked against the manifest at handover.
Is there a minimum lead time for an order at TGJ?
Our coordinator holds a standard lead time for a full specification change and a shorter one for an ad hoc or last minute airline catering request, worked case by case against the loading window.
When can private jet catering be delivered to the FBOs at NWWA?
Once a slot and a stand are confirmed, FBO catering reaches the GA terminal and any FBO on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled uplift.
