Private jet catering at Francisco Bangoy International Airport (RPMD / DVO), Davao

Catering to your aircraft in Davao.

Davao is a warm, humid field where the apron holds heat by mid-morning. At Francisco Bangoy International (RPMD/DVO), we pack inflight catering and crew meals so the galley only has to plate, with sauces apart and labels by seat.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Inflight catering with the flavours of Davao (DVO)

Davao City is the gateway to southern Mindanao, and the private jet menu for RPMD is built from what the region grows and lands. Mindanao is the Philippines' tuna country, so a private jet menu from Davao often opens with tuna kinilaw, the local cousin of ceviche, packed cold with the vinegar dressing in its own pot. Local specialities such as grilled tuna panga travel in the hot box and are re-plated on board; a fish collar holds heat better than most cuts.

Davao pomelo, sweeter and less bitter than most, arrives segmented and chilled for the inflight menu, while durian is the one fruit we discuss before it goes anywhere near a cabin; the smell lingers in a sealed galley. Mangosteen, lanzones and Davao cacao are safer private jet food: the cacao becomes a chocolate plate or hot chocolate base that suits a night sector.

For Davao City, the practical rule is simple: keep the raw, the acidic and the sweet in separate containers, label by seat, and let the crew finish each dish. Our private jet menu for Davao follows that, with the local specialities tagged for oven, chilled or sauce apart.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Francisco Bangoy International Airport (RPMD)

Davao sits at the foot of Mount Apo, and Francisco Bangoy International (RPMD/DVO) is where Mindanao's tuna, pomelo and cacao meet the galley. Our private jet catering for this field is written by former VIP flight attendants who know what survives a short turnaround. Inflight catering here leans on cold boards and one hot course, because aviation catering for a quick sector rarely needs more. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for the DVO ramp are handed to your handling agent at the FBO, and diplomatic flight catering follows protocol before anything is cooked. Cabin crew meals can be ordered with the same booking, on request.

Executive jet catering at Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO)

Davao sees corporate flights tied to Mindanao's agriculture and shipping, and our business jet catering at RPMD reflects that: simple, regional and reliable. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the brief from the flight department, charter flight catering is planned around the slot, and luxury inflight catering is built from local tuna and pomelo. A private jet chef writes each bespoke menu for the galley on your aircraft.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Francisco Bangoy International Airport (RPMD)

Davao's kitchen hides allergens in plain sight: shrimp paste in sauces, peanuts in kare-kare, coconut milk and fish sauce in nearly every stew. Our special meals are cooked on a separate board and boxed apart, with seat numbers rather than names on the lid. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each handled as a procedure, not a label, and checked against the local ingredients before we cook.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO)

At Davao's DVO ramp, crew meals are commissioned with the flight, not added later. Flight crew meals travel in labelled boxes; pilot meals are packed apart so the captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering covers the cabin team, cockpit meals are built to be eaten between checks, and crew meal boxes arrive with cutlery. Different meals for pilots are available on request, and cabin crew meals follow on the same invoice.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Francisco Bangoy International Airport (RPMD)

FBO catering at Davao means a handover at the general aviation terminal, signed for by your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged around your slot, ground handling catering is coordinated with whoever holds the ramp, and handling agent catering instructions are confirmed before cooking starts.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Francisco Bangoy International Airport

On the Davao apron, it is the tail you fly that settles how the cabin gets loaded. A light or midsize jet takes trays through the door by hand; a larger cabin may need a high loader at the ramp. Galley catering for the DVO apron is packed to your galley, with airside catering delivery coordinated through your handling agent. For aircraft provisioning on bigger types, tell us the tail and we plan the lift before the food is cooked.

About the airportRPMD / DVO

About Francisco Bangoy International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Francisco Bangoy International is Davao City's main airport, serving southern Mindanao, and its general aviation traffic is mostly corporate and charter. Airport catering here depends on the heat, the produce and the handling agent more than on a runway, and the FBO services and ground handling services on the field decide who signs for the boxes at the aircraft.

Business aviation

Davao's business aviation hub is modest but active, with executive jet catering needs tied to agriculture and regional government. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are built for short sectors, and aviation catering for a business aviation catering client is often tuna and fruit. Diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, cabin crew meals and crew meals ride on the same booking, and the FBO services and ground handling services at RPMD shape where each box changes hands.

Customs & food import

Philippine customs and quarantine rules govern food arriving from abroad: fresh meat, fruit and plant products are the most restricted. Our Davao catering is sourced locally, so for an outbound flight little of that applies. For inbound aircraft, tell us your onboard stock and route, and we will check it against what the FBO services and ground handling services at DVO can clear.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“With a revised passenger count to consider at DVO, we needed a practical way to serve a cold lunch with cheese and fruit to 10 passengers. The Galley Girls kept the canapés separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The desserts stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. I would discuss aviation catering services with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Despite a short ground stop, we wanted the 9 guests at Francisco Bangoy International Airport to enjoy chicken skewers with a couscous salad without a complicated cabin service. The breakfast portions supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I want an aviation catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We could distinguish the sandwiches at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Johan F. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“On this departure from RPMD, 8 passengers had chosen herb chicken with a quinoa salad, and a small galley worktop needed to be reflected in the order. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the breakfast portions into divided catering boxes that were easy to handle. Separating the starters from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

Ordering for RPMD, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Davao?+

Think of the turnaround first. A quick Davao stop usually means a chilled order with one hot item, which keeps cost modest. A longer wait on the DVO ramp opens room for a full course. How much does private jet catering cost is shaped by those choices, so we quote after the brief.

What is the lead time for catering at Davao RPMD?+

What simplifies a Davao order is a stated slot and a named handling agent. Lead time then follows the menu: a cold board is easiest, a hot course needs a bit more planning. Last-minute orders are handled, and we pick up day or night.

Do customs affect catering at Davao International?+

Because we use Davao produce, customs rarely enter the picture for an outbound flight. For an inbound one, onboard stock may be inspected, and the length of your turnaround affects whether we should pack fresh or sealed. Brief us on the route.

Can you bring food on board at Davao instead of ordering?+

Passengers sometimes arrive at RPMD with their own food, and the ramp rules depend on your handling agent. If you want something local, we can pack Davao cacao and fruit rather than carrying it through the terminal.

Is catering part of a charter into Davao?+

Catering sits as its own order, with its own invoice, whatever the charter contract says. For a Davao slot, tell us the length of the turnaround and we propose a menu to match.
