Aviation catering — Touho, New Caledonia
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Touho (NWWU / TOU)
TOU (IATA) · NWWU (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code and a single runway of 1,100 metres set the scale of every movement AERO GOURMET boards at Touho: main-deck rotations rather than wide-body freight, loaded stand-side without a hi-loader ramp behind them. In-flight catering here still runs to the same discipline as any larger station, and inflight catering leaving our kitchen is sealed, logged and carried airside for uplift at the aircraft door.

Wide-body aviation catering at NWWU
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, NWWU
Ramp access at Touho governs how a catering uplift actually reaches the aircraft, because the apron here is worked to a single narrow-body stand rather than a bank of wide-body gates. What leaves our kitchen is sealed before it crosses the apron, escorted to the aircraft, and handed over against a signature at the galley door. Nothing in that sequence is estimated: each stage is logged as it happens, at Touho and at every station we work.
Between our kitchen and the single stand at Touho sit screening, an escort across the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a narrow-body movement, and we plan the galley catering run against the busiest version of that sequence rather than the easiest one. A catering uplift assembled here travels under seal, with the convoy logged from kitchen door to aircraft door and chain of custody maintained at every handover. Temperature is recorded when the load is sealed and again when it is signed for at the galley, so the record closes only once the crew has taken delivery.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Touho, New Caledonia
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Touho airport
The flight kitchen at TOU runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard and holding the cold chain from the moment a tray is packed. Airport catering in Touho is produced to match the narrow-body reference code this field holds, rather than to a wide-body volume the stand was never built for. Airport catering at TOU still delivers tray sets, meal boxes and sealed carts to the same specification we run at any other station.
The team behind government flight catering at Touho is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and named on the access list before the gate opens. They are trained to royal household service standards as well as to airline tray-set discipline, so a state movement and a scheduled sector are worked by people who already know the paperwork. Nothing about that clearance changes between one uplift and the next.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at NWWU / TOU
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Touho (TOU)
AERO GOURMET plates inflight catering to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled sector, a charter and a government movement each travel on their own specification out of the same kitchen. New Caledonia's produce, from reef fish to orchard fruit and local dairy, sits on the menu where the season allows it, worked into a plated or tray-set format to match the cabin actually flying. Every set is written against a passenger list rather than assembled generically: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per seat and per cabin before the cart is sealed. Nothing leaves the kitchen without that documentation attached.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Touho are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and formal course service available on request for a private airliner or a head-of-state movement. VIP flight catering here is confirmed against the passenger list before sealing, never assembled on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins out of NWWU take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft actually on the stand. Crew meals travel alongside the cabin load as separate cabin crew meals and pilot meals, boxed and logged against the roster rather than mixed into the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Touho, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line and sealed before they leave it. The full range of IATA special meal codes is worked from that same line, so inflight catering here answers a dietary code exactly as filed, not as guessed.

Flight catering airside delivery at TOU
Touho's single narrow-body stand and its 1,100-metre runway set a traffic profile of scheduled, charter and occasional government movements rather than a wide-body wave, so a delegation here is a documentation problem before it is a capacity one, and a repeat rotation is planned as a repeated sheet rather than a fresh build each time.
Uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by escorted convoy across the apron to the stand, where it is handed over at the aircraft door against a signed sheet; airline catering in Touho is loaded to that same sequence whatever the operator, and airport catering at Touho is worked stand by stand rather than gate by gate. Aviation catering in New Caledonia answers to the same cold chain and paperwork on every field we serve, and inflight catering at TOU closes only once the crew has signed for the load.
One coordinator holds responsibility for the rotation from seal to signature, with the sealed carts and the handover sheet as the record that closes it.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at NWWU
01
Government and state flight catering at TOU
A single narrow-body stand at Touho means a delegation movement is sequenced around one loading window rather than spread across several gates, which puts the documentation ahead of the capacity question. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations with the protocol file recorded per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and a head of state aircraft boarded from a sealed uplift at catering at NWWU.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Touho
Narrow-body is the reference code held at this field, and that scale governs a private airliner exactly as it governs a scheduled sector: one stand, one loading window, no wide-body assumption to fall back on. Royal flight catering and VVIP catering at catering at TOU cover BBJ, ACJ and other private airliners against a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary sets produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at NWWU
Our kitchen boards a full three-cabin uplift onto the narrow-body stand at Touho for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet rather than estimated on the day. Charter flight catering at NWWU and charter flight catering in Touho are staged in the order the galleys are laid out, whatever the season or mission type behind the rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at NWWU
Off the single narrow-body stand at Touho, an ad hoc airline catering call is worked the same way as a scheduled one: sealed, logged, boarded to the sheet. Carriers routing through NWWU as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering from the same duty roster, with AOG covered off the same kitchen, crew meals at TOU boxed against the roster and crew meals at NWWU handled on a multi-leg rotation without a fresh build each time.

Private jet and FBO catering at Touho
A 1,100-metre runway keeps Touho's business aviation traffic on the same narrow-body scale as its scheduled sector, worked through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than a wide-body apron. Private jet catering at Touho reaches the ramp handler and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, delivered by our dedicated private-jet branch.

“For our departure from Touho (TOU/NWWU), we specifically needed airline catering IATA standards. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Very cabin-friendly catering. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Rebecca — Flight Support Executive
“We had an ACMI requirement at Touho (TOU/NWWU) and the coordination was very smooth. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Paul — Ground Services Manager
“I needed reliable FBO catering at Touho (TOU/NWWU) for a same-day departure. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at NWWU / TOU
Diversion catering and ramp questions at NWWU / TOU
What operations gets asked every week about Touho.
Ask operations directly →Do you take orders on short notice at NWWU?
Yes, provided the specification is confirmed before the loading window opens; the lead time and how far in advance a change can still be made both depend on the cabin count, and last minute airline catering requests are worked against whatever window remains before sealing.
Touho, do you deliver to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The sealed cart used for an airline uplift is the same one used for private jet catering here, delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal under FBO catering terms, on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled sector.
Who handles airside delivery to the aircraft at Touho Airport?
For every movement on the single narrow-body stand, our own escorted crew carries the sealed load across the apron and hands it over at the aircraft door; airline catering here travels airside rather than to a kerbside point, and where a wide-body operator is involved elsewhere in the network the same convoy discipline applies even without a hi-loader on this ramp.
At what point is the cost of airline catering at TOU confirmed?
The first step is the specification review, covering cabin count, menu and loading window; airline catering cost at TOU is then quoted against that specification rather than a published price list, and the desk comes back with a figure once the rotation details are set.
