Private jet catering at Golfito Airport (MRGF / GLF), Golfito

Catering to your aircraft in Golfito.

MRGF is a quiet strip on the Gulf of Dulce, and most flights here are small jets and turboprops with a tight galley. We prepare the food for that galley and hand it to you at the FBO.

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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Golfito

Golfito faces the Gulf of Dulce in Puntarenas Province, and the local table follows the water and the forest. A private jet menu for Golfito leans on Pacific fish: red snapper, mahi-mahi and corvina, sold straight off the boats, plus langostinos from the gulf. Costa Rica's national staples travel well: gallo pinto, plantain, and hearts of palm from the surrounding farms.

For an inflight menu, we turn these local specialities into private jet food that suits a small galley. Ceviche is packed chilled with its lime apart. Fish is cooked and finished in the oven. Tropical fruit, pineapple, papaya and mango, is cut per passenger. These private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks keep the Puntarenas Province identity on the tray.

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

Golfito's strip sits on the edge of the Gulf of Dulce, with rainforest behind the apron and the rainy season shaping every plan. Private jet catering at Golfito Airport is built around what the Pacific side offers: snapper, shrimp, tropical fruit, and a galley that rarely sees a full kitchen. We supply inflight catering for business aviation catering sectors, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering on request, plus cabin crew meals for the people working the leg.

Business jet catering at Golfito Airport (GLF), Costa Rica: corporate jet on the apron with galley service

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Golfito Airport (MRGF)

Business jet catering at Golfito is usually a brief for four to eight passengers on a light or midsize jet, flying in for fishing, eco-lodges or a private stay. Corporate jet catering here means a small galley, so VIP flight catering is packed per seat, with charter flight catering following the same logic. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around local snapper and tropical fruit, a kind of luxury inflight catering that suits the setting.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Golfito Airport (GLF)

For official visits to Puntarenas Province, government flight catering follows protocol: confirmed menu, sealed packing, named contact. Head of state flight catering at MRGF is rare, so VIP aviation catering is arranged ahead with the delegation. State visit aircraft catering is agreed with the protocol office, not at the apron.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Golfito Airport

Golfito's kitchens cook with a lot of rice, beans and fried plantain, so allergen traps are mostly shared oil and fish stock. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are built as a procedure: a separate board, a sealed box, and a card for each seat. Special meals can be adapted from local dishes, such as fish without butter or a vegan casado, and gluten free options are easy with corn and rice.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Golfito Airport (GLF)

At MRGF the crew often waits on the apron, so crew meals are boxed to be eaten anywhere. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are commanded on request and billed as a normal line. Crew catering with cockpit meals avoids shared dishes; crew meal boxes are labelled by role, and different meals for pilots follow operator policy.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Golfito Airport

FBO catering at Golfito is delivered to the aircraft through the FBO and your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is planned around the departure slot, and the general aviation terminal at MRGF is small enough that the handover is simple. Ground handling catering follows the airside rules, and handling agent catering coordination is done for you.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Golfito Airport (GLF)

Golfito Airport receives mostly small and mid-size aircraft, so galley catering is usually carried to the cabin door rather than lifted. Airside catering delivery follows the handling agent's access rules at the apron, and aircraft provisioning for a larger type is planned with the operator when the tail is known. The type decides the door height and the galley size, and we pack to that.

About the airportMRGF / GLF

About Golfito Airport (GLF): airport catering for business aviation

Golfito Airport sits in Puntarenas Province, close to the Gulf of Dulce, a gateway for fishing lodges, the Osa side of the peninsula and cross-border visits. Airport catering here serves a general aviation field with a simple terminal and a handling agent.

Business aviation

Golfito is not a business aviation hub in the Miami sense, but FBO services and ground handling services are available to owners flying in for the coast. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights are packed light. Aviation catering for business aviation catering needs is planned by the aircraft type. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are handled on request, and cabin crew meals complete the order.

Customs & food import

Costa Rica controls imported fresh food through its agriculture authority, so fruit, meat and dairy arriving on a flight can be removed. Catering made locally for Golfito avoids this, and waste from international legs is handled under the usual rules.

“What impressed me at MRGF was how a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings was handled despite a small galley worktop. I asked The Galley Girls for the crew provisions in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the sauces as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. Our brief for airline catering was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Small packing details became important at GLF: our 6 passengers wanted a selection of petits fours and sandwiches, and we had an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls grouped the canapés by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the crew meals arrangements. That left time to check the salads properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“My order at Golfito Airport covered fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 8 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a family lunch request. The written menu details stood out more than any sales pitch about FBO catering. I asked The Galley Girls to review the desserts quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of breakfast portions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

What crews ask before GolfitoAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Golfito Airport?+

Cost starts with what you choose. At Golfito, fresh snapper and langostinos are priced above rice and plantain dishes. A long wait on the apron lets us plan a hot service, while a quick turnaround favours chilled plates. We quote per menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Golfito?+

Order when you know the tail, even loosely. The handling agent at Golfito needs the airside access settled, and we work through that with them. Last-minute orders are handled, and we answer 24/7.

What are the customs rules for catering at Golfito Airport?+

Bring nothing fresh into Costa Rica if you can avoid it. At Golfito, catering is made locally and handed over plane-side, and the turnaround before departure decides how hot or cold it is.

Can you bring food on a private jet at Golfito Airport?+

It depends on what you carry and where it comes from. Fresh items are subject to Costa Rican controls, and the handling agent verifies airside access. For a clean handover, order catering for Golfito with us.

Is catering part of a charter into Golfito?+

The charter does not include it. Catering for a flight into Golfito is ordered through us and invoiced separately from the private jet charter, whatever the departure slot or turnaround.
