Catering to your aircraft in Puerto Barrios.

At MGPB the weather decides the menu: heat, rain, a short apron. We pack for a crew that has to plate with one oven and no extra hands.

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.

What Puerto Barrios brings to your in-flight catering (PBR)

Izabal Department is Guatemala's Caribbean corner, and the private jet menu for Puerto Barrios reads like it. Local specialities here come from the Garifuna communities of the coast and the banana ports: tapado, a coconut-milk seafood stew, is the signature, and it travels well if the broth is packed apart and finished in the galley oven. An inflight menu built on this region also leans on plantain, fresh coconut rice and grilled snapper, plus Guatemalan coffee and tropical fruit for the morning leg.

For private jet food at MGPB we treat each dish as something that has to survive a heat-soaked apron and a galley with limited space. Private jet platters of sliced pineapple, papaya and melon are cut to order; private jet snacks run to plantain chips and roasted nuts; gourmet inflight meals take the form of coconut-braised fish with rice. The local specialities of Izabal Department are Caribbean in spirit, so we keep sauces in their own pots and chilled items sealed until you plate.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR)

Business jet catering at Puerto Barrios usually means a corporate jet with a few passengers bound for the banana coast or the port. Corporate jet catering is built around the galley, VIP flight catering follows the guest list, and charter flight catering is ordered separately from the aircraft. Luxury inflight catering here favours light, cold-friendly dishes, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around tapado, grilled fish and fruit.

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Puerto Barrios Airport (MGPB)

High loader delivery for jet catering at Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR)

Larger aircraft at MGPB call for a different loading plan than a light jet. Galley catering is sized to the galley of your type, and airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent. For wide cabins that need a high loader, aircraft provisioning is planned around the door height and the carts you actually have.

About the airportMGPB / PBR

Aviation catering and business aviation at Puerto Barrios Airport (PBR)

MGPB is a small Caribbean-side field in Izabal Department, where airport catering follows the modest pace of the apron. Ground handling services here are lean, so your crew deals with one handling agent from the stand to the galley door, and the field works as a quiet business aviation hub for the banana coast and the port.

Business aviation

General aviation at PBR is quiet, with corporate jets arriving for the port and the coast. FBO services are limited, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are confirmed by phone and by email with the FBO. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering suit the small turns of this business aviation hub, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered on request.

Customs & food import

Guatemala controls fresh food imports, so customs rules favour local sourcing at MGPB. Ground handling services on this field include the customs liaison: your handling agent clarifies the position on any imported item, which is part of what keeps a small business aviation hub like Puerto Barrios workable.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Rather than an elaborate service at MGPB, our 9 guests wanted mini sandwiches and individual desserts, organised sensibly around a small galley worktop. For aviation catering services, that attention to packing arrangement made the order noticeably easier to manage. The canapés supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the main courses identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Sophie A. | Royal family manager

★★★★★CHARTER

“Packing vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 11 passengers at PBR needed careful thought, especially given a short ground stop. The Galley Girls grouped the sauces by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The main courses were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. I want an aviation catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Ravi U. | Charter operator

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Getting yoghurt pots and fresh berries ready for 4 guests at Puerto Barrios Airport required an order that accounted for several individual meal preferences. The salads came from The Galley Girls in clearly marked packs, with a packing list that matched the contents. The sandwiches were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience.”

Puerto Barrios: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost into Puerto Barrios, and do customs rules change the price?+

We quote after seeing the menu and the customs picture. Local snapper and coconut rice cost less than flown-in beef; Guatemalan food rules reward a menu from the Izabal coast. That is the honest shape of private jet catering pricing here.

What lead time does a government or delegation flight need at MGPB?+

Lead time for a delegation at MGPB starts with approval. Once protocol agrees, we cook and label by seat number. Last-minute orders are handled when the list changes.

What should I know about customs for a night or early-morning departure from Puerto Barrios?+

Customs on a night departure from Puerto Barrios: confirm the hours with your handling agent, then we pack to inspection standard. Plane-side handover, day or night.

Can you bring food of your own into Puerto Barrios, or is local better?+

If you want a taste of the place, bring nothing and order tapado: it is a Garifuna coast dish we pack with broth apart, ready to finish in your oven.

Is catering part of a charter into Puerto Barrios if the passenger count changes?+

Catering stays a separate order even on a private jet charter to PBR. A changing passenger count simply changes the order, not the arrangement.
