Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Puerto Montt, Chile
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Puerto Montt (SCTE / PMC)
PMC (IATA) · SCTE (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held at Puerto Montt governs a stand built for full three-cabin operations, and it is what lets this station run inflight catering to a wide-body standard rather than a regional one. In-flight catering here moves by hi-loader straight to galley height, so an uplift clears the aircraft door without a single tray touching the ramp.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at SCTE / PMC
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Puerto Montt (PMC)
Ramp access at Puerto Montt is what sets the loading window: from the moment the cart clears our kitchen gate to the moment the galley door is sealed. The apron here is worked to a fixed sequence rather than a guess, because a wide-body uplift cannot wait behind a delayed convoy. Every catering uplift at PMC follows that same sequence, stand after stand, rotation after rotation.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Puerto Montt sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is the real risk, not the food. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of that traffic, holding the same route and the same escort whatever the hour. Temperature is logged at the seal and again at handover, and the chain of custody closes only when the galley catering has been signed for at the aircraft door, name against name, minute against minute, for every cart that leaves the kitchen at SCTE.
One sealed route, one signature, from our kitchen gate to the galley door.
Pilot meals prepared for Puerto Montt rotations
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Puerto Montt, Chile
The flight kitchen that provisions SCTE holds hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, run to HACCP standard from the first delivery to the sealed cart. Airport catering in Puerto Montt is built on that single site rather than split across several, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from the walk-in to the ramp. Airport catering at Puerto Montt answers to the same production line for a scheduled sector, a charter or a diplomatic movement alike.
The team that handles government flight catering at Puerto Montt is the same named crew every rotation, not a rota drawn at random from the wider kitchen floor. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the protocol line, and is trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift travels with. That continuity is what a household or a protocol office checks first, and it is held rotation after rotation at PMC.
VIP flight catering menus for PMC departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at SCTE / PMC
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, moving from a passenger meal box in the main cabin to a plated VVIP set for a private airliner. Inflight catering at PMC draws where it can on regional produce, from lake-district dairy and orchard fruit to fish landed along this coast, described in general terms and never as a named dish. Every set is built against a documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical frame, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed. Cycles change week to week; the tray standard that carries them does not.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at SCTE are plated to a written specification rather than assembled on a fixed line, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order held for that cabin, so a repeat rotation is served the same way every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Puerto Montt run a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same run, boxed to the roster, alongside the crew meals carried for the rest of the operating crew.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at PMC are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes, from a religious set to a medical one. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line at the kitchen and sealed before it leaves it, so a household or an allergen requirement never crosses with the general run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Puerto Montt airport
The wide-body reference code held at Puerto Montt sets the traffic this station is built to take, and a single runway means every rotation is worked to one clean sequence rather than split across parallel movements. That profile turns a peak wave into a capacity question and a diplomatic movement into a documentation one, and airline catering at PMC is planned around whichever of the two governs the day.
Inflight catering at PMC and in-flight catering at PMC both move by the same route: sealed carts leave our kitchen, cross the apron under escort, and reach the stand by hi-loader rather than at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering at SCTE is worked this way whether the movement is a scheduled sector, a charter or a state flight, with our own crew on the ramp for every leg.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover at the galley door, and airport catering at Puerto Montt is held to that commitment on every uplift.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at PMC
01
Government and state flight catering at SCTE
A 2650 m runway at Puerto Montt takes the aircraft that carries a delegation without restriction on the movement itself, and government flight catering here is built around that certainty rather than around it. State visits and official delegations travel with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen — the same file whether the flight carries a head of state or a smaller mission.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at PMC
A private airliner sized to the wide-body reference code held at Puerto Montt boards here on the same stand as a scheduled wide-body, which is what lets royal flight catering run to a household specification rather than a one-off brief. BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements are held against that specification file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Puerto Montt
At a station built around a wide-body reference code, an ACMI or wet-lease operator finds the same stand and the same loading sequence as a scheduled carrier. Charter flight catering at Puerto Montt covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering in Chile is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, sector after sector.

Airline and ad hoc catering at SCTE
The wide-body reference code held at Puerto Montt lets a carrier run this station as a genuine outstation rather than a stopover, and we work that outstation catering off one duty roster. Ad hoc airline catering covers a late addition to the schedule, diversion catering and technical stop catering are held on the same standing line, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at PMC
Sequencing a business aviation movement around a wide-body reference code means working a smaller aircraft into the same ramp rhythm as the larger rotations it shares the field with. Private jet catering at Puerto Montt reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on that same schedule, run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We used the team for private jet menu at Puerto Montt (PMC/SCTE) on a VIP trip. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. I would definitely order from them again. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
James — Freighter Duty Manager
“For our departure from Puerto Montt (PMC/SCTE), we specifically needed tray set catering airline. The order came ready for service with no unnecessary packaging or loose items to sort through. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Kamil — Diplomatic Flight Manager
“We had an ACMI requirement at Puerto Montt (PMC/SCTE) and the coordination was very smooth. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Airline catering services FAQ for PMC
Technical stop catering questions at PMC
What operations gets asked every week about Puerto Montt.
Ask operations directly →Where are halal, kosher and special meal codes documented for flights through Puerto Montt?
Every SPML request is logged against the passenger record and produced on a separate line at the kitchen, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meals before the cart is sealed.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at PMC?
PMC boards by hi-loader straight to galley height, so airside delivery never sets a tray down on the ramp between the kitchen cart and the aircraft door.
When can private jet catering be delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at SCTE?
Once a movement is confirmed on the ramp schedule, FBO catering is run to the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled airline uplift.
What does airline catering cost at Puerto Montt?
We quote against cabin count, specification and loading window rather than a fixed list, so a rotation through Puerto Montt is priced once those three are confirmed.
Is there a minimum lead time for an order at Puerto Montt Airport?
The coordinator handling the rotation confirms how far in advance an order should land and how late a specification can still move, since a diversion or a technical stop is worked on shorter notice than a scheduled sector.
Which protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at PMC?
The hi-loader and the sealed cart route stay identical for every mission, with government flight catering and VIP flight catering both carrying a documented chain of custody from kitchen to galley door.
