Service
In-Flight Catering Coordination in Kenya and Africa
AAES coordinates in-flight catering through approved local providers at airports in Kenya and across Africa. From our 24/7 Nairobi operations desk, we confirm station availability, delivery lead times, packaging, dietary requirements and aircraft delivery instructions for business aviation, charter, airline and special-mission flights.
Catering availability, menus and minimum order requirements vary by airport and provider. AAES obtains available menu options and quotations, confirms the order and delivery window, and coordinates with the local handler so catering reaches the aircraft in accordance with station and airside procedures.
Menu design
We coordinate available menu options with local catering providers and the operator, balancing passenger preferences, dietary requirements, flight duration, aircraft facilities and station-specific lead times.
Meal preparation and packaging
We relay the confirmed order to the selected provider and coordinate preparation, packaging, labelling and the delivery schedule. Final menu availability and preparation remain subject to the provider and the lead time available at the station.
Special meal requests
Beverage service
We can request available soft drinks, water, juices, hot beverages and, where permitted, alcoholic beverages from the local provider. Selection, quantities and regulatory restrictions vary by location.
Logistics
AAES coordinates the agreed delivery window with the caterer and ground handler, including airside access, vehicle or security requirements and the aircraft handover point. Loading is completed by the authorised local service provider or handler. Include catering in the Kenya pre-arrival handling checklist so delivery timing is agreed before the aircraft arrives.
For flights in Kenya and across Africa, AAES coordinates the local catering provider, order confirmation, delivery window, airside access and handler interface. Our Nairobi operations team also manages last-minute updates where station availability and lead time allow.
