Catering to your aircraft in Catarman.
Crews landing at Catarman (RPVF) find a small apron and a long wet season. Private jet catering here is packed to your galley, labelled by seat, and delivered to the aircraft.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Northern Samar is Waray country, and the table is built on the sea and the coconut. A private jet menu for Catarman can lean on grilled fish with calamansi, ginataan stews and sweet native rice cakes, all of which travel well when packed with the sauce apart. The inflight menu has to respect heat and humidity, so we favour dishes that hold chilled or finish in a galley oven.
For private jet food around Catarman, think of Samar's local specialities: kinilaw cured in vinegar, coconut-braised vegetables, grilled prawns and ripe mango. In Northern Samar Province the fruit and seafood are the story, and a private jet menu from this coast is built around them, packed so the crew can re-plate without a kitchen.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Catarman National Airport (RPVF / CRM) serves Northern Samar Province, a region of coconut groves, rice fields and typhoon season. For private jet catering here we cook to the galley you have: in-flight catering for a light jet, aviation catering for a larger cabin, and business aviation catering with executive jet catering menus for the whole trip. For a protocol flight, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals reach the aircraft by the same handover as any other tray.
Who flies into Catarman? Executives visiting Northern Samar, charter groups and the occasional medical or relief flight. Our private jet chef builds a bespoke menu for each, whether it is business jet catering, corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering.
Official aircraft are infrequent at RPVF, so each one matters. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are traced from kitchen to aircraft, with a small team and no names on the labels.
Local Samar cooking uses shrimp paste, fish sauce and peanuts widely, so we treat special meals with care. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free plates, allergen free trays and kids meals are packed separately and labelled.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Between sectors at a small field like Catarman, the crew eats little and late. We offer crew meals on request, billed normally: flight crew meals and pilot meals in crew meal boxes, crew catering for the whole team, cockpit meals that hold without a galley oven, and different meals for pilots when policy asks for it.
FBO catering at Catarman is handed over at the general aviation terminal or by your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering so the trays reach the aircraft cleanly; handling agent catering follows the access the apron allows.
Not every jet at RPVF needs a high loader, but a larger cabin does. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are arranged around the door, and galley catering is packed to what the aircraft can hold.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
RPVF serves Catarman and the north of Samar. Airport catering, general aviation movements, FBO services and ground handling services are limited in scale here, so the order is confirmed against your slot and the galley of the aircraft.
A business aviation hub this is not, which is why aviation catering needs care. For the rare visit we plan inflight catering, in-flight catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering around the aircraft; diplomatic flight catering runs on protocol, cabin crew meals and crew meals on request, and ground handling services decide where each tray changes hands.
Philippine customs and quarantine restrict fresh meat, fruit and dairy arriving from abroad, so catering is best prepared locally. Declare any food carried aboard, and your ground handling services will tell you what the apron allows; we supply the rest, packed and labelled for the galley.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Before our guests boarded at CRM, we needed roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables divided into 5 portions suitable for several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the starters before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The main courses went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. This experience of private jet catering services gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”
“Rather than an elaborate service at Catarman National Airport, our 7 guests wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, organised sensibly around a changing departure schedule. After a final adjustment to the sauces, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. I want a private jet catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 6 guests, but a family lunch request also had to be considered when organising a selection of petits fours and sandwiches at RPVF. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. The Galley Girls suggested individual containers for the salads, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the snack boxes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
Send the new headcount and we recalculate. A grilled fish plate, for instance, is priced differently from a platter of native snacks, and last-minute changes are handled on the same invoice.
For Catarman we ask for the type first, since it decides oven or no oven. After that, the lead time is simple, and late requests are taken day or night.
Fresh meat, fruit and dairy are checked closely by Philippine authorities. Catering ordered at Catarman is local and packed per seat, which keeps a last-minute count change simple.
Outside food is allowed in principle but may be inspected on arrival. With a compact galley, pre-packed local plates from us avoid both customs questions and storage problems.
A charter does not include meals. For flights into Catarman we take a separate order, revise it as the passenger count moves, and invoice it separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
