Catering to your aircraft in Chetumal.
MMCM runs slowly: a few business jets, the Belize border close at hand, tropical weather that comes and goes. We prepare inflight meals for the real galley and deliver to the aircraft through 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.
Chetumal is the capital of Quintana Roo and the gateway to the Mayan south, with Belize a short step across the Rio Hondo. Mexico's Caribbean coast shapes the local table here, and a private jet menu built around it reads very differently from a Cancun-style hotel menu. Local specialities travel well when you choose them with the galley in mind: ceviche and aguachile keep cold, habanero salsas ride in their own pots, and tropical fruit gets cut late and sealed. Our inflight menu for Quintana Roo leans on seafood, achiote-marinated pork, and fresh lime, all of which we pack as private jet food that survives a drawer and a service. For crews planning private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, the region gives a clear palette: cold mariscos, warm tortillas wrapped in cloth, and fruit with chile and lime. Ask for local specialities and we say honestly what holds up on board and what is better left on the ground.
Quintana Roo is not only beaches: the south, around Chetumal, cooks with the lagoon, the Rio Hondo and Mayan pantry staples like achiote, sour orange and habanero. A private jet menu for this region is about what you can serve from a drawer and a small oven. Local specialities such as cochinita-style pork, shrimp ceviche and tamales hold their shape, while delicate fish needs a chilled plate and a quiet cabin. Our inflight menu for Chetumal is written around those limits. We pack private jet food by galley: private jet platters for the cold service, gourmet inflight meals for the hot course, private jet snacks for the leg back. If a dish is not worth carrying, we tell you.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Chetumal sits on the Bacalar lagoon side of Quintana Roo, a quiet field with a low apron and humid air that works against anything left uncovered in a drawer. Private jet catering here is built around that humidity: sealed lids, chilled items kept separate, sauces apart. Our team of former VIP flight attendants plans inflight catering for the aircraft you actually fly, not for a generic galley.
Business jet catering at Chetumal is usually a short, specific brief: a corporate party heading to the Mayan south or onward to Belize, six to ten on board. Corporate jet catering here leans on Quintana Roo ingredients, and we tailor VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering to the aircraft. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what the galley can actually do.
Delegations and officials passing through MMCM expect quiet service. Our government flight catering is traceable, with named staff and sealed packing, and head of state flight catering follows the instructions of the protocol office. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are handled the same way: no names on labels, only seat numbers.
At Chetumal the allergen question starts with the local pantry: shellfish is everywhere on the coast, peanuts and sesame appear in moles and salsas, and corn and lime are the base of much of the cooking. We build special meals as a procedure around that, with kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free dishes made on separate boards and sealed in separate boxes, and allergen free requests written against the real ingredient list. Kids meals follow the same rules, simpler and without chile.
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.
A crew on the ground at MMCM wants something cold, simple and sealed. Crew meals are on request, never assumed, and invoiced with the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals go in separate crew meal boxes, our crew catering keeps cockpit meals apart from the guest trays, and we make different meals for pilots when captain and first officer must not share a dish. Cabin crew meals are packed beside them.
FBO catering at Chetumal means one thing: the order is handed over at the aircraft, through the FBO or the general aviation terminal, on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, who clears airside access. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the same path, so nobody is waiting at a gate.
Chetumal is a field where the aircraft decides the loading, not the airport. A light or midsize jet is served by hand through the main door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader, which is arranged through your handling agent. Galley catering is packed to the aircraft's real galley: how many drawers, how big the oven, whether there is a chiller. Airside catering delivery at MMCM goes through the FBO or handling agent to the foot of the aircraft, and aircraft provisioning is planned from the type and the tail you give us.

Chetumal International is the main airport of southern Quintana Roo, serving the state capital and the Mayan south. Airport catering here means working around a small general aviation apron and a handling agent who knows the field. FBO services and ground handling services are modest and personal, and the airport is used by business jets heading into the region.
What makes Chetumal particular is how quiet it is. A business aviation hub in the sense that matters, with a few arrivals a day and nothing to compete with them. Business aviation catering is a matter of the aircraft and the season, and inflight catering follows the galley. Executive jet catering suits small parties best, in-flight catering stays simple, aviation catering for official visits includes diplomatic flight catering through the protocol office, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request.
Mexican customs applies to international arrivals at Chetumal, and food rules are strict on meat, dairy and fresh produce brought in from abroad. For catering, that means sourcing locally and packing sealed, labelled boxes. Your handling agent explains declaration and airside access; our delivery follows the same route.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“With a family lunch request to consider at CTM, we needed a practical way to serve vegetarian wraps and colourful salads to 6 passengers. The Galley Girls kept the side dishes separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the canapés as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. The order made private jet catering feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand.”
“Several practical details needed attention at Chetumal International Airport, with beef fillet with roasted potatoes requested for 9 guests and a tight boarding window to accommodate. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sandwiches, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The breakfast portions were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. Our brief for private jet catering services was met with a sensible plan for portion planning.”
“I wanted a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 6 guests at MMCM, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with different crew meal preferences. After a final adjustment to the salads, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. I want a private jet catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The canapés remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
If you are bringing officials into Chetumal, start with the cost drivers: number of distinct menus, hot versus cold service, and any security or protocol handling. The price of private jet catering then follows the menu you choose. A cold ceviche lunch and a hot achiote pork service are not the same line, and we say so in the quote.
Lead time depends on what you want to serve and where the aircraft is coming from. Mexican customs treat imported meat, dairy and fresh produce strictly, so we build from local ingredients and avoid anything that needs clearance. Short-notice requests are still handled; they just work best with a regional menu.
Customs rules in Mexico apply to the aircraft and to the food it carries. We deliver through the handling agent or FBO and label every box by seat and content. If an inspector opens a tray, the label answers the question. Tell us your arrival type and we plan accordingly.
Bringing food is possible but not always practical. If a passenger needs a kosher, halal or allergen free meal, we prepare it from a written brief and seal it. That also avoids customs questions about meat, dairy or fresh produce coming in from outside Mexico.
No: a private jet charter does not include catering. The aircraft type decides what we pack, and a light jet at MMCM needs a short menu with cold items and one oven dish. We invoice it separately and deliver to the aircraft through the FBO.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
