Aviation catering — Puerto Asís, Colombia

Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Puerto Asís (SKAS / PUU)

PUU (IATA) · SKAS (ICAO)

Our kitchen holds a narrow-body reference code at Puerto Asís, which sets the scale of every uplift we plan for this stand and keeps a wide-body specification off the ramp here. We deliver inflight catering by hi-loader to galley height, and in-flight catering that begins as a sealed cart rather than a trolley left at the foot of the aircraft.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Puerto Asís, ramp access is the variable that decides whether the window holds. Each cart is sealed before it leaves the kitchen and its route across the apron is fixed to the loading sheet, not to whichever gap the traffic leaves open. That is what a catering uplift means here: a measured sequence, not an estimate.

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 PUU sit screening, an escort across the apron and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway field, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of those, not the best. Chain of custody is kept unbroken from the moment the cart is sealed: one galley catering load, one route, one crew who do not hand it off partway. Temperature is logged when the seal is set and logged again at the galley door, and the signature that closes the load is the same name that opened it.

One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature closing the load at the galley door.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Puerto Asís

HACCP governs the production line that provisions Puerto Asís, from hot production and pastry through to the cold larder, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is packed. Airport catering here runs on that single line rather than several, which is what a narrow-body stand actually needs. Airport catering staged this way reaches the stand as one movement, sealed once and opened once, at the galley door.

Security clearance sits with the same named crew on every rotation at PUU, checked against the access list rather than reissued flight by flight. That crew is trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift travels with, and to household service standards where a movement calls for them. Government flight catering at Puerto Asís runs through that same team, not a rotating one, so the record behind each load stays consistent.

VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Puerto Asís airport

VVIP catering to a written specification at PUU

Menus at Puerto Asís are written to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season, so a narrow-body rotation and a VVIP movement are never served off the same plan. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce where the route allows it, dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into a plan rather than a fixed dish list. Every set carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical variants, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. Inflight catering in Colombia follows that same written specification, station to station, so nothing on the tray is left to memory.

First & VVIP cabins

First and VVIP cabins at Puerto Asís are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed menu card, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation gets the same presentation each time it lands.

Business cabins

Business cabins at SKAS run on multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger tray sets and matched to the roster rather than the seat count.

Diet.

Protocol & dietary

Protocol and dietary requirements at PUU are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to household or religious specification is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line for the stand.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Puerto Asís, Colombia

A single narrow-body reference code sets the traffic profile at Puerto Asís, so most movements are single-aisle rotations rather than the peak-wave loading a wide-body hub carries; that keeps the catering pattern here repetitive rather than a capacity problem, which is exactly where documentation, not volume, decides whether an uplift runs on time.

The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, staged from our kitchen and escorted across the apron to the stand rather than left at the foot of the aircraft; our crew works the ramp on our own clearance, not a shared badge.

One coordinator carries each rotation from seal to signature, sealed carts throughout, with a signed handover at the galley door closing every load.

Government and state flight catering at PUU
A narrow-body reference code is what a head of state aircraft on this class of movement is boarded against at Puerto Asís, with the protocol file documented per passenger before departure. Government flight catering here runs on security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift closed before it leaves our kitchen, whichever terminal the movement is routed through.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Puerto Asís
At this single-runway field, the 1625 metre runway is what sets the class of private airliner that can operate into Puerto Asís, and royal flight catering here is built around that ceiling rather than around a fixed cabin type. VVIP work covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements alike, held to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other household requirements produced against it on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at SKAS
Sequencing the galleys against a single narrow-body stand is the constraint every charter movement at Puerto Asís is loaded around, since only one aircraft can be worked at a time. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before it leaves the kitchen; charter flight catering in Colombia runs to that same count, station to station.

Airline and ad hoc catering at PUU
A narrow-body reference code governs the stand at Puerto Asís, and it is what lets us run ad hoc airline catering here for carriers using this field as an outstation. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering move off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals boxed to the same roster in Puerto Asís as in any scheduled week.

Private jet and FBO catering at Puerto Asís
The runway here holds at 1625 metres, and that length is what keeps this field within reach of most business jets working the region. Private jet catering at Puerto Asís is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, run by our dedicated business aviation branch.

Ask operations directly →
Which options cover private jet catering at PUU, including delivery to the FBOs and the GA terminal?

The loader and sealed cart used on an airline uplift are the same ones we run to the GA terminal, so FBO catering reaches every operator on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork.

What protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at SKAS?

We run government flight catering and VIP flight catering through one named, security-cleared crew, with the protocol file documented per passenger before the uplift is sealed.

How much does airline catering cost for a rotation through Puerto Asís?

Puerto Asís pricing is quoted against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than published as a list, so airline catering cost is confirmed once our desk has those details.

Where does the lead time start for an order at Puerto Asís Airport?

The loading sheet is the record that fixes it: how far in advance an order is placed sets how much of the specification can still change, and last minute airline catering is worked against whatever that sheet still allows.
