Aviation catering — Leticia, Colombia

Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Leticia (SKLT / LET)

LET (IATA) · SKLT (ICAO)

Our crews board narrow-body aircraft at Leticia (SKLT / LET) with the single wide-body reference dropped for the aerodrome's own narrow-body code, running hi-loader access to galley height on every uplift. We provide inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body-grade aviation catering for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, with airside access held on our own badges and uplift staged directly on board rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Leticia

What happens between the seal at our kitchen and the galley door at Leticia is planned, not left to the ramp on the day. Ramp access at SKLT is held on our own badges, so the catering uplift moves without waiting on a shared apron slot. The route is short by design: fewer handoffs between the cart and the aircraft means fewer points where the load can slip.

Four branded catering carts latched side by side in an aircraft galley, each door closed on a coloured seal.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Leticia sit screening, escort and the narrow-body apron traffic that a single-runway field concentrates onto one movement area. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest of those, never the average day, so a delayed screening slot or a late escort does not become a delayed galley catering handover. Chain of custody runs unbroken from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley: temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at the aircraft, and the paperwork that travels with it names who carried it and who received it.

One sealed cart, one named handler, one signature at the galley door.

Kitchen production.

Cleared crews behind government flight catering at LET

The flight kitchen that provisions Leticia runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built around the narrow-body traffic this airport actually takes rather than a wide-body assumption. Airport catering at LET is planned to that aircraft mix, so tray sets and passenger meal boxes are batched to the cabin counts the field sees, not to a generic template. Production runs to HACCP standard throughout, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray leaves the line to the moment it is sealed into the cart, which is what airport catering in Colombia is measured against at every station we serve.

The team behind government flight catering at SKLT is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota filled from whoever is on shift that day. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household standards that a royal or state movement expects of the staff who touch its uplift. Chain of custody at Leticia is a written procedure this crew follows, not a promise made once and left unchecked.

Halal airline meals and special meals at Leticia (LET)

Royal flight catering standards per cabin at SKLT

Menus at Leticia are written to the cabin and the mission, from a full plated service forward to a multi-choice hot service in the main cabin, and adjusted again for the season. Local sourcing draws on the produce of the wider Amazon region and the country's own supply lines, worked into a menu that still reads as inflight catering rather than a restaurant plate: portioned, labelled, sealed to travel. Every set carries its allergen declaration, and halal and kosher requirements are produced on a documented basis rather than as an afterthought. Special meal codes are logged per passenger and per cabin, so a crew boarding the aircraft at Leticia can match every tray to the manifest without opening a single one to check.

First & VVIP cabins

First and VVIP cabins at Leticia are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than assumed by default. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the operator, so a repeat rotation through SKLT is served to the same presentation each time.

Business cabins

Business cabins routed through LET take a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized for the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed in tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same load, boxed to the roster the operator supplies for the country's rotation.

Diet.

Protocol & dietary

Household, religious and medical requirements at Leticia airport are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Every one of them is produced on a separate line at the kitchen and closed out before it leaves that line, so inflight catering for a dietary set never shares a bench with the standard tray run.

Inflight catering delivered to the stand at SKLT / LET

Leticia's single narrow-body stand takes scheduled, charter and occasional government traffic on a field built around one runway and one reference code, which means every rotation is planned individually rather than folded into a wave. A repeat scheduled service is a documentation matter here; a charter or a state movement is a capacity matter, since the field has no second stand to absorb an overlap. Airline catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering at Leticia all run off the same short route between kitchen and stand, with the load boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Airside delivery to the stand is staged from the sealed cart directly, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover and no intermediate drop point along the way. Airport catering in Leticia is planned stand by stand precisely because there is only the one to plan, so the loading sequence for each aircraft is fixed well before it lands rather than worked out on the apron.

On every rotation at LET we commit to one named coordinator, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover that closes the load.

Government and state flight catering at Leticia
A narrow-body aircraft carrying a delegation is boarded at SKLT under the same reference code as a scheduled service, which is what lets a state movement be planned without a special stand allocation. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations for a head of state, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at SKLT
On the runway rated to 1880 metres at Leticia, a private airliner in the BBJ or ACJ class is within the field's own operating limits, which is what makes a wide-body VIP movement plannable here rather than diverted elsewhere. Royal flight catering at LET is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request for every repeat rotation.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at LET
A loading plan at Leticia has to be sequenced against a single stand, which means a charter arrival cannot overlap the turnaround it is scheduled behind. Charter flight catering at LET, worked for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, is staged in the order the galleys are laid out and counted against the loading sheet before the aircraft is called forward, with charter flight catering in Leticia planned the same way for every operator type.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Leticia
The narrow-body reference held at SKLT governs the aircraft this station boards on scheduled service, and it is also what carriers running Leticia as an outstation plan their catering against. Ad hoc airline catering covers a late add to the rotation; outstation catering keeps a menu cycle running between visits; diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked from the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern rather than treated as one-off exceptions.

Private jet and FBO catering at SKLT
The runway at Leticia is rated to 1880 metres, which keeps the business jet traffic here within the same narrow-body category as the scheduled and charter movements the field already boards. Private jet catering in Leticia is handled by our dedicated branch and delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We ordered VIP airliner catering for our aircraft at Leticia (LET/SKLT) and the result was very good. The portions, packaging, and labeling worked well for the cabin, and the timing was spot on. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Aircraft catering questions at SKLT

Diversion catering and ramp questions at Leticia (LET)

What operations gets asked every week about Leticia.

Ask operations directly →
At what point does airline catering cost get fixed for a rotation through LET?

The quotation stage is where it is fixed, once cabin count, specification and the loading window are confirmed; before that no figure is published, because each rotation through Leticia is priced against its own stand allocation rather than a standard rate card.

Do you need the order placed a set lead time ahead at SKLT?

Yes, with a standard lead time for a first booking and a shorter window accepted for a returning operator whose specification is already on file, and the cabin specification can still be adjusted closer to departure than the initial order itself.

Given the single stand this station works from, are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced in Leticia?

There is a documented line for halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of SPML codes, each one produced separately and logged per passenger before the cart is sealed.

Whose badges get the uplift onto the ramp at Leticia Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport?

For every rotation, airside delivery runs on our own ramp badges from the sealed cart to the aircraft, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the steps.

LET: is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?

The same hi-loader and cart equipment that boards a scheduled aircraft carries FBO catering to the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
