Catering to your aircraft in Rubelsanto.
MGRB is a lowland strip in Alta Verapaz at 426 ft, with its own pace and its own produce. We plan your menu around the type you fly and the slot you have, then deliver to your handling agent.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Alta Verapaz is coffee, cardamom and cacao country, and Rubelsanto sits in its lowlands. A private jet menu for Rubelsanto leans on that: Guatemalan coffee in sealed bags for the galley, cardamom-scented pastries, fresh tropical fruit cut to order. Our inflight menu keeps local specialities simple to finish, with sauce apart and nothing that needs a grill at altitude.
For private jet food around Alta Verapaz Department, we cook what the region does well: slow-cooked pepián-style stews, black bean spreads, grilled chicken with chirmol, tamales wrapped in banana leaf. Each local speciality is packed the way it travels in a galley, hot items for the oven, cold items chilled, sauces in separate pots. Gourmet inflight meals, private jet platters and private jet snacks all draw on this table.

In the Alta Verapaz lowlands, Rubelsanto's apron at 426 ft sees light and mid-size aircraft far more often than large cabins. Private jet catering for MGRB is therefore built around compact galleys and simple finishing. In-flight catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering all start from the type and the seat plan; diplomatic flight catering is cleared in advance with the protocol office.
A business jet catering brief at Rubelsanto is usually short: a few passengers, one compact galley, a clear menu. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around that cabin. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method, with luxury inflight catering touches such as plated cardamom desserts. It is priced per menu, not per tray.
State visit aircraft catering into MGRB is a procedure: menu cleared by the protocol office, sources documented, discretion kept. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering use the same named team, and VIP aviation catering is delivered to the aircraft with the handling agent present.
Special meals for MGRB start with the diet card: kosher sealed, halal sourced, vegan built from beans and plantain, gluten free tamale alternatives, allergen free packed apart, kids meals simple. Corn and nut traces are checked locally.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For the crew, the order is separate and on request: crew meals, packed in crew meal boxes. Flight crew meals for a long day, pilot meals that keep, cockpit meals that need no plate, different meals for pilots when policy requires. Crew catering at Rubelsanto is invoiced as its own line; cabin crew meals are listed alongside.
FBO catering at Rubelsanto means catering delivery to the FBO or, where there is none, to the general aviation terminal. We coordinate with your handling agent for ground handling catering and airside access, so the handover happens at the aircraft. Handling agent catering is arranged with the tail and the slot.
The type decides the loading at MGRB: a small cabin takes boxes by hand, a larger one may call for a high loader. We plan galley catering and airside catering delivery around that, as part of aircraft provisioning.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
MGRB sits at 426 ft in the Guatemalan lowlands and works as a small general aviation field rather than a major business aviation hub. FBO services here are limited, so airport catering means agreeing access with the handling agent and keeping the order compact enough for a light cabin.
The wet season shapes the work at MGRB: fruit that holds, dishes that re-plate cold, boxes closed against the humidity. Ground handling services are thin on this strip, so the plane-side handover is planned around the tail and the slot. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are written for the aircraft in front of us; business aviation catering and executive jet catering suit the small cabins that land here, diplomatic flight catering needs advance clearance, and cabin crew meals and crew meals come on request.
Customs in Guatemala can remove foreign fresh food on arrival, so locally prepared meals suit Rubelsanto best. Your handling agent, who provides the ground handling services at the field, can explain any declaration needed before the order is cooked.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Rather than an elaborate service at MGRB, our 2 guests wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries, organised sensibly around a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the sandwiches readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. We left the sauces stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for portion planning.”
“Good preparation made the difference at RUV, where 8 guests expected a selection of petits fours and sandwiches despite a short ground stop. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the crew provisions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. I appreciated the emphasis on crew briefing throughout the flight catering services arrangements.”
“What impressed me at Rubelsanto Airport was how a request for smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit was handled despite several individual meal preferences. The sauces came from The Galley Girls in stackable containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the airline catering arrangements. The sandwiches were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
Cost depends on what the request demands: a halal stew sourced separately, a gluten-free tamale alternative, a dairy-free dessert. A tropical fruit platter for the same flight costs far less. We price private jet catering line by line, and special meals are shown as their own lines.
Our lead time at Rubelsanto follows access: who clears the vehicle, which gate, which door. Tell us which handling agent you use and the slot, and we plan the plane-side delivery around it. Last-minute requests are handled the same way.
Food-import rules here mean uneaten catering from another country may be removed on arrival. For Rubelsanto flights, we advise sourcing meals locally so nothing needs to be declared. Send the itinerary and we adapt.
For a delegation landing at RUV, you can carry food aboard, but customs may inspect it. Most government flights prefer a menu cleared in advance and cooked locally. Send the aircraft type and the passenger list structure.
A charter contract does not cover meals. On an early-morning leg from Rubelsanto, you order catering apart and we hand it over to your handling agent. It is billed independently.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
