Aviation catering — Maiquetía, Venezuela
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Maiquetía (SVMI / CCS)
CCS (IATA) · SVMI (ICAO)
Our crews run wide-body inflight catering at Maiquetía (SVMI), Maiquetía, Venezuela, on an aerodrome reference code built for hi-loader boarding to galley height rather than delivery at the foot of the aircraft. That capability carries the full range of in-flight catering here, from scheduled and charter movements to VIP, government and private jet flights, all loaded through the same uplift.

On the apron — Maiquetía
Inflight catering loaded to galley height at SVMI / CCS
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Maiquetía airport
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at CCS
Ramp access is what decides the loading window at Maiquetía, because the sealed cart moves from our kitchen to the aircraft over the apron rather than pausing at a delivery point below it. Every catering uplift here is escorted onto the wide-body stand and boarded by hi-loader straight to the galley door, so the minutes that matter are the ones spent on the ramp, not in a corridor. That is the measure this station is held to, rotation after rotation.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Maiquetía sit screening, an escort convoy and apron traffic that shifts by the hour, and the galley catering plan here is built against the worst version of all three rather than the average one. The convoy is the risk in this chain of custody, not the food: a delayed escort or a congested taxiway costs more than a late tray ever will, so routing and timing are fixed before the cart leaves the door. Every catering uplift is logged twice on temperature, once at sealing and again at handover, with a named signature closing the load at the aircraft.
One coordinator carries the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at SVMI
Airport catering at Maiquetía is provisioned from a flight kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell held under one roof, run to HACCP standard from intake to seal. That structure is what lets airport catering in Maiquetía carry a scheduled rotation and an unplanned diversion on the same shift without either one slowing the other. The same cold chain that leaves the flight kitchen at CCS is the one logged again on the stand, so nothing produced here loses its record between the two points.
The team handling government flight catering at Maiquetía is the same named crew on every rotation, carried on a security clearance and kept on the access list rather than rotated in ad hoc. They work to household service standards on file between movements, so a protocol brief does not have to be rebuilt each time a delegation moves through. Paperwork travels sealed with the uplift, and the same names sign it at the kitchen and again at the aircraft.

Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Maiquetía airport
Menus at Maiquetía are written to the cabin, the mission and the calendar rather than issued as one fixed set, so a scheduled sector and a chartered rotation are not served the same tray. Inflight catering at CCS draws on the country's produce where the season allows it, working orchard fruit, dairy and fish from the surrounding region into the specification rather than a fixed import list. Where the mission calls for it, the same kitchen turns a plated First cabin service and a boxed crew set on the same shift. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Maiquetía are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed set list, with à-la-carte service available on request and every course filed against the standing order before it leaves the kitchen. VIP flight catering here follows that same document on every repeat rotation, so the presentation does not vary from one movement to the next.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SVMI run a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in their own tray sets alongside the passenger load, with pilot meals boxed separately to the duty roster for every rotation through Maiquetía.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Maiquetía, household, religious and medical alike, are documented per passenger rather than assumed from a general list. Halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line from the main service and sealed before it joins the load, covering the full range of IATA special meal codes as part of the same inflight catering standard applied to every other tray on the aircraft.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Maiquetía
Maiquetía carries scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic across two runways built to a wide-body reference code, and that mix sets the catering problem before a single tray is loaded: a delegation movement is a documentation exercise, a charter peak is a capacity exercise, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a matter of holding the same specification every time it lands. Airline catering at SVMI is planned to whichever of those three the day brings, not to a single fixed pattern.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our flight kitchen by sealed cart, escorted across the apron and boarded by hi-loader straight to the galley door on the wide-body stand rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at SVMI and the aviation catering at CCS that supports it both run off that same route, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed for the day. Airport catering in Venezuela at this field follows the identical sequence, kitchen to apron to galley, on every stand it serves.
On every one of those movements, one coordinator holds the file from the sealed cart to the signed handover.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at SVMI / CCS
01
Government and state flight catering at Maiquetía
A head of state aircraft is boarded here on the same wide-body reference code that clears any other large-cabin movement, which is what makes government flight catering at Maiquetía a matter of protocol rather than of aircraft size. State visits and official delegations travel on a file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SVMI
On a runway measured at 3500 metres, private airliners in the BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP classes are cleared into Maiquetía without the specification changing from one movement to the next. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household document kept on file between rotations, with halal and household dietary requirements produced against it on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at CCS
A full three-cabin load has to be sequenced against the galley layout before it reaches the wide-body stands at Maiquetía, which is the constraint that governs every charter movement through this field. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering counted against the loading sheet stand by stand.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Maiquetía
The wide-body reference code held at Maiquetía is what lets carriers run this station as a genuine outstation rather than a stop worked around. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all move off the same duty roster here, AOG included, with crew meals boxed to the roster across a multi-leg rotation at CCS.

Private jet and FBO catering at SVMI
Two runways at Maiquetía carry business aviation onto the same field as the wide-body traffic, so private jet catering in Maiquetía reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal without a separate route being built for it. FBO catering here runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as any airline or business aviation catering uplift.

Scheduled airline
“We had a last-minute schedule change into Maiquetía (CCS/SVMI) and needed technical stop catering. Confirmation was quick, the order stayed clear despite several updates, and delivery reached the aircraft on time. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Andres — Crew Operations Coordinator
“We needed off-station catering for a flight through Maiquetía (CCS/SVMI) and the process was much easier than expected. Updates were concise and the delivery timing matched our handling plan. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Diego — Airline Operations Manager
“We requested an airline catering cost for Maiquetía (CCS/SVMI) and appreciated how clear the pricing was. Pricing, delivery timing, and packaging were all explained upfront, which helped us approve the uplift quickly. Straightforward and professional from quote to delivery. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at Maiquetía, Venezuela
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Maiquetía, Venezuela
What operations gets asked every week about Maiquetía.
Ask operations directly →Does SVMI catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal for private jet catering?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal at Maiquetía receive the same FBO catering standard as an airline uplift, on one cold chain and one paperwork trail.
Whose halal, kosher and special meal codes are produced for flights through Maiquetía?
For any passenger flying through Maiquetía, halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA SPML special meals codes are produced on a separate line and documented per person.
Where does the airline catering cost at Maiquetía get set?
The loading sheet and the cabin specification agreed for each rotation are what a quotation is built on, since airline catering cost is never published as a fixed list; the desk at Maiquetía returns a figure against those two documents.
When does airline catering at CCS move from the kitchen to the aircraft?
Once the cart is sealed at our kitchen, airline catering moves under escort across the apron and is boarded by hi-loader straight to the galley door, which is the airside delivery route used on every stand at this station.
At what point does a specification for SVMI need to be locked in?
The first step is the loading window confirmed against the rotation; how far in advance that has to happen depends on the movement, but the lead time still allows changes closer to departure than last minute airline catering elsewhere would.
