Aviation catering — Guapi, Colombia
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Guapi (SKGP / GPI)
GPI (IATA) · SKGP (ICAO)
A 1297 m runway keeps Guapi worked as a narrow-body field, and that single reference code sets the plan for every uplift boarded through it. In-flight catering here runs from one kitchen to the galley door on the ramp, so inflight catering for scheduled, charter and government movements is loaded by hi-loader rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.

Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the tray sets crossing the galley door, the catering uplift at Guapi is tracked stage by stage rather than promised as a single figure. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy crosses the apron on a route agreed with the field rather than queued behind general traffic. That sequence is what a narrow-body reference code like Guapi's actually buys an operator: a shorter, more predictable run from kitchen to stand.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Guapi sit screening, an escort through the airside gate and whatever apron traffic is moving that hour, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the best. Every cart is sealed before it leaves the kitchen and the seal is checked again at the stand, closing the chain of custody the galley catering has to keep from production to handover. Temperatures are logged at both ends, and the loading crew signs the load off against the same sheet the cockpit and cabin crew see, so responsibility for the tray sets never sits with more than one named team at a time.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for SKGP
Airport catering in Guapi runs from a single production line rather than a network of outstations, so hot production, pastry, a cold larder and the protocol cell that handles sealed and dietary orders sit under one roof. That arrangement is what lets airport catering at GPI hold one specification across scheduled, charter and VIP rotations instead of varying it stand by stand. The flight kitchen at GPI runs to HACCP procedure through every stage between production and the cart leaving for the apron.
The team that handles government flight catering at Guapi is the same named crew every rotation, carried forward rather than rotated in from a wider pool for a single movement. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the airside route the convoy takes, and is trained to the household and protocol standards a sealed uplift travels under. That continuity is what keeps catering at SKGP answerable to one team rather than to whoever is on shift.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Guapi, Colombia
VVIP catering to a written specification at Guapi airport
Menus for Guapi are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, so a scheduled rotation and a one-off charter are never served from the same fixed cycle. Colombia's produce runs through the specification in general terms — dairy, fish, seasonal fruit — worked into the tray without naming a dish or a single grower. Inflight catering in Guapi carries allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets as standing entries, each documented per passenger and per cabin rather than added at the last stage. That documentation travels with the load, so a change of aircraft or a change of party does not mean a change of standard.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Guapi are plated to a written specification rather than to a cycle, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the same file. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the record on file rather than re-briefed each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at GPI run on multi-choice hot service, boxed to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft on the day. Crew meals in Guapi and crew meals in Colombia are boxed apart from the cabin trays, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals rostered separately so the flight deck order never depends on the cabin count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Guapi are documented per passenger rather than assumed from the manifest, covering household, religious and medical categories on one file. Halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before that line closes, so inflight catering at Guapi keeps dietary orders apart from the general cabin run without slowing the loading window.

Flight catering airside delivery at Guapi
A single 1297 m runway holds Guapi to narrow-body movements, which keeps the traffic mixed rather than banked into one wave: a scheduled rotation, a charter and an occasional government movement can sit close together on the same day, and each is a documentation task before it is a volume task. Airline catering in Guapi and aviation catering in Guapi both run off that same narrow-body plan rather than a wide-body one.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by ground handling on the apron, sealed for the run and released only at the aircraft. In-flight catering at Guapi and airport catering at Guapi are staged this way stand by stand, with inflight catering at GPI planned against the loading sheet rather than against a general schedule.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, so responsibility for the load never splits between two desks mid-handover.

Scheduled airline
“We used football club charter catering at Guapi (GPI/SKGP) for a team charter and had a good experience. They handled the nutrition requests well and kept everything organized for fast distribution onboard. A good partner for sports charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Olivier — Station Services Coordinator
“For an urgent mission at Guapi (GPI/SKGP), the team supported us with evacuation flight catering. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. Strong support for a demanding operation. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Naomi — Private Jet Operations Manager
“We used the team at Guapi (GPI/SKGP) for cargo airline catering on a night operation. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. We would use them again for another cargo sector. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at Guapi, Colombia
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Guapi, Colombia
What operations gets asked every week about Guapi.
Ask operations directly →How far does protocol reach for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Guapi?
The standard runs on security clearance and a sealed file that follows the passenger list, so VIP, VVIP and government flights are worked to one protocol rather than a case-by-case brief.
Who handles airside delivery for airline catering at GPI?
For every rotation booked through GPI, our own crew carries the load from kitchen to hi-loader and boards it at galley height, so airside delivery is never handed off mid-route.
At what point is airline catering cost confirmed for a movement through SKGP?
At the point the cabin count and the loading window are fixed, since airline catering cost depends on specification and timing rather than a published rate, and the desk returns with a figure once both are set.
Documented per passenger, are halal, kosher and special meal codes produced for flights through Guapi?
There are standing halal and kosher lines alongside the full set of SPML codes, each logged against the passenger list rather than assumed from the manifest.
Guapi's private jet catering — does it reach the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The same sealed cart used for an airline uplift carries private jet catering to the GA terminal and every FBO on the field, on one cold chain and one paperwork trail.
Do you take last minute airline catering changes at GPI?
Yes, within the loading window still open before the cart is sealed, so lead time depends on how far the flight is from that seal rather than on a fixed cut-off; ask how far in advance your rotation needs to lock its specification.
