Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Inflight catering with the flavours of Cabatuan (ILO)

Ask what makes a private jet menu from Iloilo different and the answer is the sea and the rice paddies of Panay. Cabatuan's field serves a province where fish arrives daily, so private jet food here starts with prawns, squid or fresh fish, packed chilled with the sauce apart.

The headline local speciality is batchoy, the noodle soup of Iloilo, and it is the one dish that needs a procedure: broth sealed in its own container, noodles and toppings in another, re-plated and finished by the flight attendant. Local specialities also include the delicate pinasugbo candies and ginger-forward sweets from across Panay.

An inflight menu for RPVI can mix those with something lighter. Calamansi dressings, mango from the Visayas in season, and grilled chicken inasal with its marinade packed apart suit cold-plate service, and each item is labelled for the galley it will meet.

Iloilo Province is also strong on seafood allergens, so we separate shellfish by tray, and the menu lists them clearly. A regional private jet menu is only useful if the crew can serve it without opening every lid.

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

Cabatuan's airfield sits on the flat rice country of Iloilo Province, and the galley orders that leave it tend to lean on seafood from the Visayan Sea. Private jet catering at Iloilo International is written for the flight attendant who has to plate it: inflight catering packed for a small oven and a single drawer, aviation catering for corporate and charter tails alike, and business aviation catering that respects the tight turnarounds of a regional field. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same rule: you tell us the tail and the headcount, we cook and pack to that galley.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Iloilo International Airport (ILO)

Business jet catering at Iloilo International is usually a small brief with strong local flavour. Corporate jet catering here leans on seafood and inasal, and VIP flight catering for visiting executives often asks for batchoy done properly. Charter flight catering suits groups heading into the Visayas, and luxury inflight catering means a private jet chef who understands that your galley has one oven. A bespoke menu is built around who is flying and what the cabin can handle.

Dietary orders at Iloilo International work from the kitchen outward: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are each cooked and sealed apart. In Panay, shrimp paste and peanuts hide in sauces that look innocent, so we list them by dish and mark every box with a seat number, never a name.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Iloilo International Airport (ILO)

Aircraft sizes at Iloilo International vary from light jets to larger corporate and charter types, and the galley dictates the loading: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and how many drawers the oven takes. Galley catering for the larger tails is packed for aircraft provisioning at the door, with airside catering delivery coordinated through your handling agent.

About the airportRPVI / ILO

Aviation catering and business aviation at Iloilo International Airport (ILO)

Iloilo International Airport serves Panay from Cabatuan, replacing the old city airfield with a runway built for larger aircraft. It is a quiet field for general aviation, and airport catering here is organised around the general aviation terminal, which handles business traffic alongside scheduled flights.

Business aviation

Business aviation in Panay is mostly corporate and tourism-led, and the airport catering for it is handled through FBO services at the general aviation terminal. Private jet catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all follow the same route to the aircraft, supported by ground handling services on a small business aviation hub apron. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering, cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered the same way, through the FBO.

Customs & food import

Philippine customs rules on imported food are strict. Leftover meat or dairy from abroad is usually declared or discarded, and ordering airport catering at Iloilo avoids the question altogether.

★★★★★CHARTER

“My order at RPVI covered a mezze selection with flatbreads for 9 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a changing departure schedule. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the starters, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the breakfast portions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Despite limited fridge space, we wanted the 6 guests at ILO to enjoy prawn salad and small fruit plates without a complicated cabin service. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The sandwiches remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. With flight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 3 guests at Iloilo International Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls grouped the sauces by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. We left the salads stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. The order made flight catering services feel manageable because the written menu details had been considered beforehand.”

The Iloilo International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Iloilo International?+

Ask us what you actually need on board. A repositioning sector with an empty cabin has a small bill, a corporate charter with local seafood has a larger one, and we price each at the same standard. That is the honest answer to how much private jet catering costs here.

What is the lead time for catering at Iloilo International?+

Order as soon as you know the tail and the slot. Panay seafood is the item that needs the most notice, because it has to be bought fresh. Anything off the standard menu is still handled at short notice.

What customs rules apply to inflight catering at Iloilo?+

If your aircraft arrives from abroad with leftover catering, expect it to be declared or discarded under Philippine rules. Ordering local catering at Iloilo International means no carried-in meat or produce to explain, even on an empty-cabin positioning flight.

Can you bring food to Iloilo International or must it be ordered?+

Yes, within customs rules. But fresh seafood from Panay is a better reason to order here than to bring anything in.

Is catering part of a charter into Iloilo?+

Charter and catering are two contracts. If your aircraft is flying empty to or from Cabatuan, you will still need crew meals, and those are ordered and invoiced separately.
