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

Ponte de Sor on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at LPSO

Portalegre District is cork, olive and holm oak country, and the plate follows it. A private jet menu built for Ponte de Sor starts from Alentejo bread, sheep and goat cheeses, and cured black pork, which ride well in a galley because they need almost nothing from the oven. The inflight menu can lean on azeite from the region, ripe figs in season, and clear soups that keep their heat in a vacuum jug.

Local specialities such as açorda, migas with pork and slow-cooked lamb are rich, so we pack them as private jet food with the sauce apart and the garnish separate, ready to re-plate. Private jet platters of cured meats, cheeses and fruit travel cold and hold up through a long taxi. Private jet snacks from the Alentejo, like almonds, dried fruit and small pastries, fill the drawer for the return leg. Portalegre District gives the menu its character, and the galley decides how it is finished.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor

Dietary needs in the Alentejo hide in unexpected places: pork lard in a bean stew, bread crumbs in a croquette, almond in a pastry. For Ponte de Sor, special meals are a procedure, not a promise: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free dishes are cooked on their own board and sealed, with the seat number on the lid so the flight attendant never has to guess. Kids meals follow the same rule, with the plain version of the local dish, sauce apart, so a small passenger can eat without a negotiation.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor

At LPSO, the crew often has a longer wait than the passengers, so crew catering is worth planning. On request, we pack flight crew meals and pilot meals in crew meal boxes, each marked with the seat number. Cockpit meals are easy to handle at the controls, and different meals for pilots avoid the same dish for both seats. Everything is invoiced like any other item in the order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor (LPSO)

At LPSO, the FBO is where food changes hands. Our FBO catering is delivered to the general aviation terminal, then walked airside with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow one simple rule: the order goes to the aircraft, never to the terminal bin.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor (LPSO)

The runway at LPSO takes widebodies, so galley catering here is often for aircraft with high doors and large carts. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent so the high loader meets the aircraft at its parking spot. Aircraft provisioning for a larger type is planned from the galley layout, with carts, boxes and bulk items loaded in the order your crew will need them.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Keeping the galley organised at Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor meant planning poached fish with steamed rice for 11 guests with limited fridge space in mind. With in-flight catering services, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the side dishes, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

Sven R. | Charter operator

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Several practical details needed attention at Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor, with a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables requested for 10 guests and a late menu amendment to accommodate. The main courses supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The salads were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. For aviation catering, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Diego T. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Service planning came first at LPSO, with 4 passengers choosing a breakfast basket with individual preserves and a tight boarding window influencing our preparation. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in divided catering boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the side dishes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. The order made aviation catering services feel manageable because the galley preparation had been considered beforehand.”

What crews ask before Ponte de SorAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Ponte de Sor when the crew waits on the ground for a long duty day?+

Think of it per menu, not per flight. A crew waiting at Ponte de Sor might want breakfast, a hot lunch and snacks for the leg home; each is a line you can add or remove. Alentejo cheese and cured pork are a lighter spend than lamb or seafood, and special diets are priced like any other dish.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when Portuguese food-import rules apply?+

Customs shape how early you should write to us. A menu from Portalegre District ingredients is the easy case; specialities flown in from elsewhere are the slower one. We tell you which is which as soon as you send the tail and slot. Last-minute orders are handled.

How do customs work for private jet catering at Ponte de Sor when you order a return leg meal from here?+

The rule is simple: the next border decides. If your return leg from Ponte de Sor is within the EU, local Portuguese food travels freely; if not, we help you choose dishes that satisfy the destination's import rules.

Can you bring food to a private jet at Ponte de Sor on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

Short flights with no passengers are the easiest to cater: nothing to re-plate, no service. A pair of pilot boxes, labelled by seat, is handed over at the aircraft by your handling agent, and you are away.

Is catering part of a charter for a delegation or government flight into Ponte de Sor?+

No, it is not part of the charter. Delegations flying into Ponte de Sor order food separately, and we prepare it with the same discretion as a head of state flight: named contact, clear labels, nothing improvised.
