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

Regional dishes of Cayo Coco for jet catering at CCC

On a flight out of Cayo Coco, the private jet menu usually starts with what the island does best: lobster, red snapper, fresh pineapple, mango and guava. These local specialities from Ciego de Ávila Province are easy to love and awkward to serve if the galley is not considered, so each dish is packed with its finish noted: oven, sauce apart, chilled, re-plate cold. The inflight menu for Jardines Del Rey favours cold seafood plates, fruit boards and rice-based hot dishes that hold. Private jet food for this terminal is built for a warm apron and a small galley, never for an idealised kitchen.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Jardines Del Rey Airport (MUCC)

Jardines Del Rey sits on a causeway-linked cay in the Jardines del Rey archipelago, a sun-and-beach terminal where business jets arrive with resort guests and leave with empty or lightly loaded cabins. Private jet catering at Cayo Coco has to work around that rhythm: inflight catering built for the galley you actually have, aviation catering that keeps seafood chilled on a warm apron, and cabin crew meals packed for crews who wait on the ground. For business aviation catering and executive jet catering at MUCC, we cook and pack with former VIP flight attendants' habits, including diplomatic flight catering protocol when a state aircraft calls. In-flight catering is delivered to the FBO or your handling agent.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Jardines Del Rey Airport (MUCC)

Business jet catering at Jardines Del Rey mostly serves resort-bound guests, so a corporate jet catering order here is usually lobster, fruit and something cold that survives a warm apron. Charter flight catering and VIP flight catering follow the same logic, with luxury inflight catering kept to what the galley can hold. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the oven, the drawer and the guest count, and says plainly what will not fit. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the Cayo Coco leg stay simple on purpose.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Jardines Del Rey Airport

Special meals at Jardines Del Rey follow a written procedure rather than a label: each dish is cooked and packed on its own board, then sealed with the seat number. Kosher and halal meals arrive sealed in their own tray and stay sealed until the guest opens them. Vegan and gluten free plates avoid the usual island hidden sources, such as lard in rice or flour in sauces, and allergen free meals are cooked apart with a card listing what is in the box. Kids meals are portioned for small hands and served the same way as the rest of the order. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and the plate comes marked.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Jardines Del Rey Airport

A crew waiting at CCC needs food that suits a long ground wait. Crew meals are something you ask for when you place the order, and they appear on the invoice like any other line. We pack flight crew meals in boxes marked by role, pilot meals and cockpit meals for the flight deck, and different meals for pilots when policy requires it. Crew catering and crew meal boxes are handed over at the aircraft.

FBO catering at Jardines Del Rey Airport (CCC): delivery to your aircraft

We deliver FBO catering at Cayo Coco to the general aviation terminal or straight to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering are arranged with the people who run your handling, so nothing is left at the gate.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Jardines Del Rey Airport (CCC)

What the aircraft is decides how the trays get up to the galley at Jardines Del Rey. Smaller business jets are loaded through a low door by hand, while larger cabins may need a high loader to reach the galley. Our galley catering is packed with the aircraft in mind: cart or box, hot or cold, drawer or oven. Airside catering delivery at CCC is coordinated with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning for a large cabin is planned around the galley size rather than the menu. Give us the type and the galley layout and we build the load to fit.

About the airportMUCC / CCC

Aviation catering and business aviation at Jardines Del Rey Airport (CCC)

Jardines Del Rey is a resort-island terminal on the north coast of Cuba, a business aviation hub in miniature: one runway built for holiday traffic, a small general aviation apron, and a handful of tails on a busy day. Airport catering here is shaped by that smallness. The field is quiet, and the apron is warm most of the year.

Business aviation

General aviation at Jardines Del Rey is mostly charters bringing guests to the Cayo Coco resorts, which makes it a business aviation hub for the cays rather than for a city. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around warm days and idle cabins. Aviation catering and business aviation catering cover the usual resort orders, executive jet catering the larger cabins, diplomatic flight catering official visits, and cabin crew meals and crew meals the crews who wait. FBO services and ground handling services run through your FBO and handling agent.

Customs & food import

Customs in Cuba apply food import rules to aircraft as well as to cargo, and Jardines Del Rey, as a small business aviation hub, follows them strictly. Perishables arriving on board can be held, so it is simpler to order locally for the next leg and confirm the rule of the day with your handling agent.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Packing avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 7 passengers at Jardines Del Rey Airport needed careful thought, especially given two separate meal services. I asked The Galley Girls to review the sauces quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of side dishes matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. Our brief for private aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Service planning came first at MUCC, with 8 passengers choosing herb chicken with a quinoa salad and different crew meal preferences influencing our preparation. I wanted clear identification on the crew provisions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. This experience of business jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure. The fruit plates were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Working around a small galley worktop at CCC, I asked for a breakfast basket with individual preserves in portions appropriate for our 11 passengers. With business aviation catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence 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 cabin team could match the sauces to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

Asked before every MUCC slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost when a guest needs a special-meal request at Cayo Coco?+

How much does private jet catering cost at Jardines Del Rey? Look at what is on the plate. Red snapper with herb oil, chilled lobster and a cut fruit board are three very different lines. A special-meal request adds its own preparation and its own packing, which is why we ask for the restriction first. We quote the order as a list you can check against the menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Jardines Del Rey, and does the aircraft change it?+

Aircraft type is the first question we ask about lead time at Cayo Coco. Small galleys limit what can be served hot, so those orders are quick to prepare; larger cabins allow more. Last-minute orders are handled, and 24/7 phone and email mean you can place one at any hour.

What do customs require for inflight catering on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin into Cuba?+

Customs rules on food entering Cuba apply to a crew and an empty cabin just as to a full one. Fresh produce, meat and dairy can be removed at arrival. For a short positioning flight into Cayo Coco, order crew meals and snacks here rather than carrying them in, and confirm details with your handling agent.

Can you bring food of your own on board at Cayo Coco while the crew waits out duty time on the ground?+

You can carry some food, but in Cuba fresh items can be inspected or removed at customs. A crew waiting on the ground at Jardines Del Rey has a duty limit and a need for a real meal, so it is more reliable to order crew meals and have them delivered to the aircraft. We pack pilot meals for the long wait and cabin crew meals for the return leg, labelled by role.

Is catering part of a charter into Cayo Coco, and how do the seasons affect departures?+

The charter price and the food are two separate things. At Jardines Del Rey, the season shapes the flight plan, so we keep the menu flexible: dishes that hold through a delay and cold plates that suit a hot apron. Order by phone or email, and the invoice is separate.
