Aviation catering — Coca, Ecuador
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Coca (SECO / OCC)
OCC (IATA) · SECO (ICAO)
The narrow-body reference code held at Coca sets the ramp this station works to, and every uplift is planned against it rather than against a wider frame. In-flight catering here moves by hi-loader to galley height across that ramp, with inflight catering and wide-body-style discipline applied to each rotation regardless of aircraft size.

Catering uplift timing at Coca (OCC)
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at SECO
At Coca, the loading window runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the apron, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than a handover at the foot of the aircraft. The narrow-body reference code the field holds sets how that cart is staged and how the hi-loader is positioned against the fuselage. Nothing on that route between the kitchen and the stand is left to a generic delivery slot.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Coca sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the catering uplift is planned against the worst case of each rather than the average one. The chain of custody runs unbroken from the seal applied at the kitchen to the signature taken at the galley, with every cart tracked by the same crew that sealed it. Temperatures are logged at sealing and again at handover, so the galley catering that boards at Coca carries a written record of both ends of the route, not just a delivery time.
One sealed cart, one crew, one signature from our kitchen to the galley door.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Coca, Ecuador
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Coca airport
The airport catering built for Coca runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, matched to the narrow-body reference code the field holds rather than to a wider fleet mix. That single-site setup is what lets a scheduled rotation and an ad hoc diversion draw on the same kitchen without one displacing the other. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, so airport catering leaving for OCC carries the same standard whatever the mission.
The team behind government flight catering at Coca is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for one movement. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks first, ahead of any menu detail.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at SECO / OCC
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at Coca (OCC)
The narrow-body reference code Coca holds shapes how our menus are written here: three cabins, sized to that configuration rather than to a wider frame, with a cycle that moves week to week while the tray standard behind it does not. Menus draw on the produce of the surrounding region where the route allows it, kept general rather than tied to any single dish. Every set is documented against allergens, and halal and kosher requirements are produced and labelled per passenger and per cabin. Inflight catering at this scale still carries the full IATA special meal range, sealed and tracked the same way as the main cycle.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Coca are plated to a written specification rather than assembled to a generic standard, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so the presentation is repeatable movement after movement.
Business cabins
Business cabins worked from SECO take 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 to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets, so nothing is mixed at handover.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary work at Coca documents household, religious and medical requirements per passenger before the cart is sealed. Halal and kosher sets, plus the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line, and that line is what keeps inflight catering here auditable meal by meal.

Airport catering delivered airside at OCC
Coca works a single narrow-body stand against a reference code that keeps every rotation to the same cabin scale, so a scheduled service and an occasional charter are planned on the same footprint rather than two different ones. That consistency turns a delegation movement into mainly a documentation task, since the aircraft it boards rarely changes shape from one visit to the next.
The uplift reaches the aircraft over ground handling on the apron, with airside delivery carrying the sealed cart from our kitchen straight to the stand rather than to a curb short of it. Aviation catering and airline catering at this field run off one ops desk, so a diversion or a late change in cabin count is worked without a second point of contact.
We commit one coordinator to every movement here, sealed carts checked at both ends, and a signed handover before the aircraft is released, which is how in-flight catering and airport catering both hold to the same record at Coca.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Coca airport
01
Government and state flight catering at Coca
A 2060 m runway at Coca sets the aircraft this field takes and, with it, the movements our government flight catering is built to serve. Delegations and official transits are documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and the uplift is sealed at the kitchen before it leaves for the stand, with head of state movements handled on the same protocol file.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SECO
A private airliner sized to Coca's narrow-body reference code boards here on the same ramp used for scheduled traffic, which keeps a royal flight catering movement to a routine rather than a special case. Royal household requirements, including halal sets, are held to a written specification kept on file between movements, with the same VVIP standard applied whether the aircraft is a BBJ, an ACJ or another wide-body VIP type.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at OCC
Against the single narrow-body stand at Coca, a 2060 m runway is the constant every charter movement is measured to before the loading plan is set. Charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions boards a full three-cabin uplift there, counted against the loading sheet and staged to match how the galleys are laid out, with charter flight catering repeated the same way rotation to rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Coca
The narrow-body reference code held at Coca is what we plan every airline rotation against, scheduled or not. We run ad hoc airline catering for carriers using this station as an outstation, cover outstation catering and diversion catering when a routing changes at short notice, and hold technical stop catering ready for the same single stand, with crew meals boarded from the same kitchen across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at SECO
Working to a single narrow-body stand at Coca means a business jet movement is sequenced around the same rotation as scheduled traffic rather than run apart from it. Private jet catering reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with business aviation catering, FBO catering and business jet catering all held to that one standard.

“Our ops team used the service at Coca (OCC/SECO) as an airline catering partner. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. It made the station much easier to manage. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Idris — Protocol Operations Officer
“I arranged airline catering in Coca for our departure from OCC/SECO. Everything arrived fresh, well presented, and easy for the cabin crew to organize before boarding. We had a smooth experience from order to delivery. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Lina — Charter Account Manager
“We had several special meal codes on our order at Coca (OCC/SECO) and everything was handled correctly. Each item was clearly identified, separated from the standard meals, and easy to check before boarding. A good experience with complex dietary requests. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at SECO / OCC
Crew meals, lead times and access at SECO / OCC
What operations gets asked every week about Coca.
Ask operations directly →Does OCC take airline catering delivered airside, not at the foot of the aircraft?
Every uplift at OCC is airside delivery by hi-loader, boarded straight to the galley door rather than handed off on the tarmac.
SECO — are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced here?
The sealed cart carrying the main cycle also carries the full SPML range; halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line and labelled per passenger.
How far does private jet catering reach on the field at Coca?
On the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, private jet catering and FBO catering cover the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal without exception.
At Coca Airport, how far in advance does an order need to be placed?
There is a standard lead time for a full specification, and there is still room to adjust cabin counts closer to departure; last minute airline catering is worked case by case against the loading window.
Whose numbers set the airline catering cost at OCC?
For every quotation, the cabin count, the specification and the loading window at OCC decide the airline catering cost, and the desk returns a figure once those are confirmed.
