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

Local specialities from Baracoa for your inflight catering

Baracoa is where Cuban cacao grows, and the Guantánamo Province coast around it is wet, green and coconut-heavy. A private jet menu for Baracoa leans on that: fish simmered in coconut milk, the shredded-coconut sweet called cucurucho, plantain in several forms, and chocolate made from local cacao. We treat these as local specialities and pack them for a galley, not a plate in a restaurant.

On the inflight menu, the coconut sauce goes in its own pot, the fish travels chilled, and the cucurucho is portioned per seat. Private jet food from Baracoa is humid-climate food, so we keep fried items out and pack anything crisp separately. Private jet platters of tropical fruit and cacao sweets suit a short stop, while gourmet inflight meals such as the coconut fish suit a longer sector. Private jet snacks lean on plantain chips and dark chocolate.

Whatever we plan for Baracoa, produce stays inside what Cuban customs allow onto the aircraft, so the menu is agreed with that in mind. Guantánamo Province gives us seafood and tropical fruit, and the kitchen builds around them.

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

Rain comes off the Atlantic onto the Baracoa apron without much warning, and Gustavo Rizo (MUBA/BCA) is a small field where light business aircraft and the occasional executive jet catering order show up together. We write private jet catering for crews who need food that survives a wet ramp: sealed, labelled, and finished in your oven. In-flight catering, business aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same method here, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Gustavo Rizo Airport (BCA)

Business jet catering at Baracoa is shaped by a small galley and a humid ramp, so a brief here is short: who is flying, how many seats, what the oven can finish. For corporate jet catering and charter flight catering we write a bespoke menu with the private jet chef, and VIP flight catering stays simple enough for one oven and a wet apron. Luxury inflight catering at MUBA means sealed trays that survive the weather, with in-flight catering that re-plates cleanly and inflight catering that never needs more galley than the aircraft has.

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Gustavo Rizo Airport

Government flight catering at MUBA is rare but handled with protocol first: the menu is cleared before cooking, and head of state flight catering uses a named team and sealed, traceable trays. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering stay discreet.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Gustavo Rizo Airport (BCA)

Ask for crew meals on a Baracoa rotation and they arrive apart from the guest trays, billed as a normal order. Flight crew meals travel in crew meal boxes, while pilot meals can be split into different meals for pilots. Cockpit meals are easy to eat at the controls, and crew catering is labelled by seat, never by name.

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Gustavo Rizo Airport

At MUBA, catering delivery to the FBO means working with the general aviation terminal and whoever clears the apron. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated around your slot, and FBO catering reaches the aircraft sealed.

The aircraft type decides loading here: a light jet takes trays by hand, a larger one may need a high loader the field may not have. Galley catering and airside catering delivery are planned with the agent, and aircraft provisioning fits the galley.

About the airportMUBA / BCA

Airport catering at Gustavo Rizo Airport (MUBA)

Gustavo Rizo serves Baracoa from a narrow coastal strip, mostly general aviation with some domestic flying. For airport catering it is a field where the apron and the weather decide the day.

Business aviation

Business aviation here is occasional, so inflight catering and in-flight catering at BCA are planned per aircraft. Aviation catering and business aviation catering use local cacao, fish and fruit, executive jet catering suits a quick turn, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request. Airport catering, general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services all matter on a field this small, though it is hardly a business aviation hub.

Customs & food import

Cuba regulates food import, and customs can inspect anything carried onto the aircraft. We plan the order inside those rules so cleared local produce does the work.

“Passenger preferences led us to a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables at Gustavo Rizo Airport; 10 portions were needed, with a changing departure schedule factored into preparation. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the crew provisions and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. For our team, the strongest part of their crew meals was how they handled catering handover. Knowing where the sandwiches were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Getting a cheese board and savoury canapés ready for 4 guests at MUBA required an order that accounted for a family lunch request. I would discuss FBO catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination. We changed the quantities of sauces, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The snack boxes remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Nothing about the 5 guest order at BCA called for excess complexity: just chicken skewers with a couscous salad and sensible planning for limited fridge space. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover. I asked The Galley Girls for the breakfast portions in stackable containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the main courses as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

Ordering for MUBA, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight into Baracoa when Cuban customs rules limit the produce?+

A Baracoa order costs what its ingredients cost, and Cuban food-import rules narrow the choice. We tell you what is allowed, price it, and invoice it on its own.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Gustavo Rizo when the handling agent controls airside access?+

The practical lead time question here is access, not cooking. Your handling agent decides who reaches the aircraft, so we confirm that first, and orders placed late are handled.

Do customs inspect a kosher, halal or allergen-free meal request into Cuba?+

Food import into Cuba is regulated, so we clear the special-meal request against those rules before cooking. Kosher, halal and allergen-free orders are packed apart and sealed.

Can you bring food of your own onto an aircraft at Baracoa with a small galley?+

Technically yes, though a tight galley rewards food made for it. We cook and pack for the aircraft you are flying, and what comes from outside is subject to Cuban customs.

Is catering part of a charter into Baracoa on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

A repositioning leg with no passengers still carries a crew who eat. The private jet charter itself does not include food, so crew meals are ordered separately and invoiced separately.
