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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Quezaltenango

Quetzaltenango Department is where Guatemala's western highlands turn serious: volcanic soil, cool nights, and a food culture built on corn, black beans and coffee. A private jet menu for Quezaltenango starts there, because the best inflight menu is the one that tastes like where you landed. Private jet food from the region travels well when it is chosen for the galley: caldo de res and pepián for the oven, tamales colorados wrapped and sealed, chilled platters of local cheeses, avocado and tomato.

Private jet platters from Quezaltenango lean on what the highlands grow: Quetzaltenango Department coffee, sweet corn, pacaya, avocado and soft white cheese. Gourmet inflight meals follow the local table, such as pepián with rice and tortillas in a separate box, while private jet snacks include roasted pumpkin seeds, plantain chips and bread from the local bakeries. These local specialities are packed to be re-plated, not reinvented, so the inflight menu still reads as Guatemalan on the tray.

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

Quetzaltenango Department is Guatemala's highland, and the airport at Quezaltenango (MGQZ / AAZ) reflects it: thin air, cold mornings, a ramp that sees few but demanding business flights. Private jet catering here means choosing dishes for altitude and a short turn, with inflight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering built around your galley. Cabin crew meals, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are packed by former VIP flight attendants and in-flight catering is handed over at the FBO.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Quezaltenango (MGQZ)

Corporate jet catering at MGQZ usually starts with a short brief: who is flying, how many seats, and what the galley can do. A private jet chef plans a bespoke menu that tastes of the Guatemalan highlands and still works from a small oven, with business jet catering and VIP flight catering packed to match. Charter flight catering, luxury inflight catering and plain inflight catering or in-flight catering all follow the same rule at Quezaltenango: cook it, label it, hand it over at the FBO.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Quezaltenango Airport (AAZ)

Highland Guatemalan cooking leans on corn, beans, chilies and fresh cheese, so the hidden allergens at MGQZ are dairy in the sauces, nuts and seeds in pepián and its pumpkin-seed base, and wheat in the bakery bread. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals are cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate sealed box, and kids meals are planned the same way, labelled by seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Quezaltenango Airport

On a cool highland ramp, crew catering is about being practical: crew meals that travel, flight crew meals that stay warm, pilot meals that fit a tray table. Cockpit meals are packed in separate boxes, crew meal boxes are labelled by role, and different meals for pilots are prepared when the operator's policy asks for it. Everything is requested and invoiced like any other item.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Quezaltenango Airport

FBO catering at Quezaltenango means one handover at the general aviation terminal, where the handling agent receives the boxes and walks them to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering so the order reaches the galley, and handling agent catering stays simple: one name on the paperwork, one door to open.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Quezaltenango Airport (AAZ)

Quezaltenango sees mostly light and midsize business aircraft, so galley catering is rarely a high loader job: the cart is rolled to the stairs and the boxes go up by hand. When a larger type is expected, we plan airside catering delivery with your handling agent, check the door height and the aircraft provisioning list, and pack to the galley you actually have.

About the airportMGQZ / AAZ

General aviation and airport catering at Quezaltenango Airport (AAZ)

MGQZ is a highland field where general aviation tails come and go at their own pace. Airport catering here is about working with the FBO services available and the ground handling services of the day, and with what the Quetzaltenango market has that morning.

Business aviation

The field acts as a small business aviation hub for the western highlands. We provide inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering for its traffic, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering for official visits, and cabin crew meals for the crews that fly in.

Customs & food import

Customs at MGQZ focus on what comes in with the aircraft, not on catering cooked locally. We cook in Guatemala, hand over at the FBO and let your handling agent manage the paperwork.

★★★★☆VIP AIRLINER

“Between cabin checks at MGQZ, I coordinated a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 12 guests and explained our concerns about a revised passenger count. I asked The Galley Girls to review the canapés quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. My main takeaway from this private jet menu order was the practical approach to meal organisation. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

Pierre O. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“A request for poached fish with steamed rice, 9 passengers, and limited fridge space: that was our brief for the departure at AAZ. I want a private jet chef to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The sandwiches supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the crew provisions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Leo O. | Government flight manager

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Having 9 guests request mini sandwiches and individual desserts at Quezaltenango Airport meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for several individual meal preferences. My main takeaway from this in flight catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the starters readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The sauces were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”

Questions crews ask about QuezaltenangoAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Quezaltenango when the crew waits on the ground?+

Cost at Quezaltenango follows what you choose: sealed tamales and a cheese plate are lighter than a plated hot course with local coffee service. When duty time forces the crew to wait on the apron, we suggest crew meal boxes that need no oven. The quote is sent before the slot, so how much private jet catering costs is clear before you commit.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Quezaltenango for a short empty repositioning flight?+

Repositioning flights into highland strips are often decided late, and we know it. At Quezaltenango, a short empty-cabin order is simple to build, and last-minute orders are handled; lead time rises only when you want local specialities in season.

What do customs require for inflight catering into Guatemala and Quezaltenango, and does the aircraft type matter?+

Tell us the type and we plan the load: smaller galleys get boxed and chilled dishes, larger galleys can handle plated hot service. Customs formalities for the food stay with your handling agent.

Can you bring food from abroad into Quezaltenango, or should a special-meal request be ordered with us?+

A special-meal request is easier to fulfil here than to import: we cook kosher, halal, vegan or allergen free dishes in Guatemala and hand them over at the FBO. Foreign food can be stopped at customs, so most crews order with us.

Is catering part of a charter into Quezaltenango, and who meets the aircraft airside?+

No: charter and catering are two separate bills. At Quezaltenango the handling agent controls airside access, and we coordinate with them so the delivery reaches your aircraft.
