Departures from J F Mitchell Airport peak mid-morning, when island-hopping charters leave for the Tobago Cays, Union Island, and Mustique, and again in early afternoon for positioning legs to Barbados and onward transatlantic sectors. Aviation catering in Bequia follows the ferry timetable—morning crossings from Kingstown at 06:30 and 09:00, with a midday sailing at 12:30—so we schedule production around those fixed windows and brief your crew on galley capacity and refrigeration limits for your aircraft type. During high season, December through April, multiple charters can depart within an hour; we stage orders in sequence and coordinate with handling agents to avoid ramp congestion. If fueling or pre-flight inspections run long, we'll adjust handoff timing, but the perishable clock starts when food leaves our cold room. For private plane catering, your handler's contact and your departure slot are the two variables that determine whether we plate early and hold, or finish hot and sprint to the boat.
