Catering to your aircraft in Mamburao.
A short strip, a warm climate and a galley with limited room: that is RPUM. Our team of former VIP flight attendants prepares catering to match, day or night.
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.
Mamburao is the provincial capital of Occidental Mindoro, and the table here is built on coconut, rice, calamansi and fish from the Mindoro coast. Our private jet menu for Mamburao uses these as local specialities, packed the way a galley needs them: grilled fish and chilled kinilaw travel cold with the dressing in its own pot, while adobo and sinigang finish in the oven. The inflight menu favours dishes that hold in the humid air of Occidental Mindoro Province without losing texture.
For private jet food, think tropical and light. Mango, pineapple, banana and calamansi anchor the private jet platters, with coconut-based sauces kept apart until service. These local specialities become gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks that a flight attendant can re-plate in a small galley, so the private jet menu stays short, seasonal and honest to Mindoro.

Occidental Mindoro is a long way from the usual business aviation circuit, which is why a good brief matters at MBO. We write private jet catering for Mamburao around sea air, heat and a small apron: inflight catering with chilled items, in-flight catering that re-plates cold, aviation catering for charter crews, and business aviation catering for island hops. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are available on request, invoiced like the rest of the order.
Flying a business jet into MBO means planning around heat and a modest galley. Business jet catering, corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are prepared for that, with luxury inflight catering and charter flight catering offered. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu around Mindoro produce.
When an official party lands at RPUM, government flight catering follows protocol: a cleared menu, a small named team and quiet handover. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are treated the same way.
Special meals at Mamburao follow a procedure, not a label. Island cooking leans on fish sauce, shrimp paste, soy and peanuts, so allergen free requests are checked dish by dish before anything is packed. Vegan, gluten free, halal and kosher orders are sealed and marked by seat, and kids meals are written for the flight you are actually operating.
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.
Crew meals at Mamburao are sized for people who eat between legs. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed, and crew catering comes as crew meal boxes labelled by seat. We offer different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. On request, invoiced with the order.
Catering delivery to the FBO works through your handling agent at RPUM. FBO catering, ground handling catering and handling agent catering all pass through the general aviation terminal, with the tray handed to the crew at the aircraft.
The aircraft type decides how Mamburao is loaded. Light jets and turboprops are served through the door by hand, and galley catering is packed in compact trays that fit a small galley. If a larger type needs a high loader, we agree airside catering delivery with the handling agent first, so aircraft provisioning matches the gear that is on the ramp.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

RPUM is a modest airfield for a modest crowd: general aviation, small charters and the occasional visiting official. Airport catering is arranged through a simple brief.
Mamburao is not a classic business aviation hub, but a few operators fly to Occidental Mindoro for beach properties and island trips. We supply inflight catering and in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering, with executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering on request. For the people up front and in the cabin, cabin crew meals ride along on the same order, packed the way a small Mindoro galley can actually handle.
The Philippines enforces strict quarantine on imported meat, fruit and dairy. For Mamburao we order local produce, so general aviation crews avoid customs problems. At RPUM, FBO services and ground handling services run through your handling agent, who tells us what can be passed airside.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“With an evening cabin service to consider at Mamburao Airport, we needed a practical way to serve prawn salad and small fruit plates to 7 passengers. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the private jet catering services arrangements. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. We checked the crew provisions against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at RPUM, where our order of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 2 people involved a small galley worktop. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the main courses and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the sandwiches before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I want a private jet catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 5 guests, but a revised passenger count also had to be considered when organising smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit at MBO. The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The main courses stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience.”
Think of three levers: dishes, headcount and the turnaround at MBO. Fresh fish costs more than rice dishes, tropical fruit platters sit in between, and a hot service adds galley work. How much does private jet catering cost depends on that mix, so we invoice it per order.
A small field like MBO means a short list of people involved. We coordinate with the FBO or handling agent, confirm airside access, and treat last-minute orders as normal work.
The practical rule: do not count on carrying fresh items in. Quarantine officers can hold meat and fruit, so for Mamburao we use local product and keep paperwork simple, whatever the slot length.
Passengers sometimes arrive with food from home. The handling agent decides what passes airside at MBO, so we suggest a short brief to us instead and have it delivered to the aircraft.
Is catering part of a charter into Mamburao? No, and that is useful: you choose the menu yourself, and we invoice it on its own once the aircraft has been served.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
