Aviation Catering at Malta International Airport (Luqa / Gudja). Based in Luqa.
Registered & Operational in Malta
Above Catering LTD is incorporated and operational in Luqa, less than one kilometre from Malta International Airport (LMML, situated across Luqa and Gudja). This direct local presence fundamentally differentiates us from remote brokerage operators · we know the local suppliers, the real FBO delivery timelines, and personally coordinate with every FBO and handler at LMML.
Last-minute is our specialty
Unlike operators requiring 24+ hours of notice, our operations team handles urgent and last-minute requests. Whether for an unplanned departure, a last-minute flight plan change, or a fully bespoke menu, we adapt to your constraints · not the other way around.
Why the Mediterranean demands absolute freshness.
Maltese & Mediterranean Local Sourcing: We work directly with local Maltese fishermen for same-day fresh catch, artisan producers for Ġbejna (Maltese sheep's milk cheese), wine estates producing Gellewża and Girgentina, and Gozo caper producers · unique products impossible to source through remote operators.
Direct Delivery to All LMML FBOs: Our team delivers directly to the FBO at all LMML facilities: Medavia Malta, DC Aviation Malta, and Executive Aviation Malta. Insulated containers that keep the cold chain from kitchen to the FBO.
Galley Plating & Crew Ease: Every order ships with step-by-step photographic cards and precise heating temperatures for all standard onboard ovens (Gaggenau, Miele, Jenn-Air). Cabin crew simply follow the instructions for flawless VIP service, even in the most compact galleys.
