Aviation catering — Tame, Colombia
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Tame (SKTM / TME)
TME (IATA) · SKTM (ICAO)
Our kitchen provisions Tame under a narrow-body reference code, and that code is what governs every wide-body substitution and every hi-loader run to the galley door. Inflight catering here is planned around that same limit, with in-flight catering staged, sealed and boarded on a fixed uplift sequence rather than left to the ramp on the day.

In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, Tame (TME)
Every catering uplift into Tame starts with a sealed cart, not a delivery van, because ramp access is what turns a kitchen output into a boarded load. Our crews carry that seal onto the apron and hold it until the cart reaches the galley door, logging each stage of the run rather than treating the ramp as a single unmeasured gap. That sequence is what a narrow-body reference code demands, and it is worked the same way on every rotation through SKTM.
Between our kitchen and the aircraft at Tame sit screening, an escort onto the apron and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway field, and none of it is left to chance on the day. We plan the catering uplift against the slowest of those steps rather than the fastest, so a delayed escort or a queued screening lane never becomes a missed galley catering window. Chain of custody runs from the seal at our kitchen door to the signature at the galley, with the temperature logged at both ends and the cart never out of a named handler's sight.
One seal, one signature, one named handler from our kitchen to the galley door.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving Tame
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Tame, Colombia
Loading airport catering into Tame from a single production line, our kitchen runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof rather than as separate contractors. That structure is what lets airport catering here move from a written specification to a sealed tray set without a handoff between kitchens, and it is run to HACCP standard on every batch, not on the ones that happen to be checked. Flight kitchen output at TME is built to match the cabin count a narrow-body reference code sets, so nothing is over-produced against a stand that cannot take it.
The team that handles government flight catering at Tame is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects before it ever lands. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is held constant here regardless of how the traffic mix on a given week is made up.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at TME
VVIP catering to a written specification at SKTM / TME
Menus written for Tame follow the cabin, the mission and the season rather than a single fixed carte, and inflight catering here draws on Colombia's dairy, fish and orchard produce as a general sourcing frame rather than a named dish. A VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu are built from the same kitchen but to different specifications, one plated to a written brief and the other sized to a galley and a rotation. Every set is adjusted to what a narrow-body reference code actually allows on board, so nothing is designed for a cabin configuration this stand cannot take. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and carried on the loading sheet rather than left to a verbal note.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Tame are plated to a written specification, with VIP flight catering covering caviar and à-la-carte service on request rather than a fixed set menu. The brief travels with the tray, and the presentation is filed against the standing order for the next rotation through SKTM.
Business cabins
Business cabins out of Tame run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, not to a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and labelled to the roster, so the flight deck set never mixes with the cabin crew meals bound for TME.
Protocol & dietary
Halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes and household or medical requirements are produced on a separate line at Tame and sealed before that line ever meets the main uplift. Inflight catering documentation travels per passenger, so a coded meal is traceable back to the tray it left on.

Flight catering airside delivery at Tame airport
Tame carries scheduled, charter and government movements across a single runway, and a narrow-body reference code means every wide-body request is worked as a substitution against that limit rather than a standing allocation. A repeat charter rotation here is a repetition problem for our kitchen, not a capacity one: the same tray count and the same specification travel week after week, and the discipline is in matching them exactly.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels airside by cart to the stand, boarded to the galley door under escort rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering at TME and airport catering at TME both run off that same route, with inflight catering in Tame and aviation catering at SKTM sharing one ops desk and one loading sheet rather than separate paperwork for each segment.
One coordinator holds the rotation from seal to signature, and the handover at the aircraft is signed before that coordinator's shift closes.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Tame, Colombia
01
Government and state flight catering at Tame
A head of state aircraft substituted onto the single narrow-body stand at SKTM is worked exactly as any other wide-body movement would be, on the same escorted route. Government flight catering for that movement carries a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and an uplift sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SKTM
Within the single narrow-body stand held at Tame, a private airliner substitution still carries the full household specification a royal or VVIP movement expects. Royal flight catering here holds that specification on file between rotations, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at TME
Sequencing a full three-cabin uplift against a single narrow-body stand is the constraint every charter movement through SKTM is planned around, since there is no second stand to stage a delayed load on. Charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order, with charter flight catering in Colombia following the same discipline on every rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Tame
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand assignment at SKTM, and that limit is what our duty roster plans against for carriers running this station as an outstation. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked off that same roster, with AOG covered on the same multi-leg rotation and crew meals in Colombia boxed to the roster rather than improvised at the stand.

Private jet and FBO catering at SKTM
The 2000 m runway at Tame sets what business aviation traffic actually lands here, and that traffic is worked by our dedicated private jet catering branch rather than folded into the wide-body queue. Private jet catering in Tame reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“For our departure from Tame (TME/SKTM), we specifically needed HACCP. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Javier — Airline Operations Controller
“Our operation through Tame (TME/SKTM) included an ACMI request at short notice. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Hana — Client Services Manager
“I needed reliable business jet catering at Tame (TME/SKTM) for a same-day departure. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Aircraft catering questions for TME
Diversion catering and ramp questions at TME
What operations gets asked every week about Tame.
Ask operations directly →With a narrow-body reference code held at Tame, do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights here, and under what protocol?
There is a standing protocol file for every VIP flight catering and government flight catering movement through Tame, documented per passenger and carried by security-cleared staff on the access list.
TME: how much does airline catering cost at this station?
The loading sheet that travels with each cart sets the specification a quotation is built against, so airline catering cost at TME depends on cabin count, menu specification and the loading window rather than a fixed price list; our desk returns a quotation once those are set.
How far does airline catering at SKTM reach onto the apron, and is it delivered airside?
The narrow-body reference code held here sets the clearance our crews carry onto the apron, and airside delivery runs by sealed cart and hi-loader to the galley door rather than handover at the foot of the aircraft.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Tame?
Yes, by the same sealed-cart route used for an airline uplift: private jet catering and FBO catering reach every FBO on the field and the GA terminal on one cold chain and one set of paperwork.
How far in advance does an order need to be placed at Tame, and how late can the specification still change?
Tame runs a standard lead time for a new specification and a shorter window for changes to a confirmed one, so last minute airline catering is handled by exception against the loading sheet rather than as standard practice; ask our desk how far in advance your rotation needs to book.
