Catering to your aircraft in Durango.
Durango's high plateau sets the tone: calm apron, mountain light, and a galley that needs food that survives altitude. We cook and pack accordingly.
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.
Durango's table is built on beef, goat cheese, mezcal and desert fruit, and several of these local specialities travel well in a galley. For a private jet menu out of Durango, we start from what holds at altitude: cured and grilled meats, quesadillas of regional cheese, tortillas wrapped to stay supple. Our inflight menu leans on these local specialities, sauces packed apart so they never soak the plate. Private jet food from the Durango region reads honestly: simple, smoky, generous, and finished by you in the galley oven.
The Durango region gives a private jet menu its backbone: carne asada from the cattle ranches, fresh cheeses, nopal, chile and the sweet preserves of the Sierra. As an inflight menu these local specialities need small adjustments: sauces in pots, tortillas wrapped warm and then sealed, fruit cut for the table. Private jet food from Durango should taste of the place, so we cook it the way the region does and pack it for your galley, not a restaurant pass. Ask for the Durango plate and tell us the seat count.

Durango's General Guadalupe Victoria International sits at 6,104 feet, and the plateau air shapes what survives in a galley drawer. Private jet catering here is built around that: cold plates that hold their texture, hot dishes that finish in your oven, and crew meals boxed apart. We pack for business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering alike, and cabin crew meals travel in their own marked boxes. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders at MMDO are handed to the FBO or your handling agent, and aviation catering for the whole cabin is cooked by former VIP flight attendants.
Corporate jet catering out of Durango tends to be built around a small cabin and a short stay. Business jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all start with a bespoke menu from a private jet chef, and luxury inflight catering is the plated version of it.
When a state visit aircraft lands at MMDO, government flight catering is arranged through the protocol office. State visit aircraft catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are written around discretion, a named team and a sealed handover to the handling agent. Aviation catering for an official flight is cleared before anything is cooked.
At Durango, allergens hide in the tortilla press, the lard in the beans, the nuts in the mole and the shared grill. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are handled as a procedure: separate boards, separate boxes, sealed trays marked by seat. Special meals, allergen free plates and kids meals are agreed before cooking, so the label on the lid matches what is inside.

Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Here, a crew meal is something you ask for with the trip, and it is billed as its own line. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering come in marked crew meal boxes; cockpit meals are packed to eat with one hand, and different meals for pilots can be arranged so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals are packed in a separate box from the guest trays.
At the general aviation terminal in Durango, FBO catering is passed to your handling agent for the walk to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are matched to your slot, and handling agent catering stays sealed until the cabin.
Galley catering at MMDO depends on the aircraft: door height, a high loader or a simple step, and the size of your oven. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the loading order the crew gives us. Tell us the type and where the galley is, and we pack to fit.
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.

Durango airport catering serves a quiet general aviation field on the high Mexican plateau, where FBO services and ground handling services keep private and business flights simple.
Durango works as a small business aviation hub for mining, cattle and film-location trips. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders here are small and exact, and FBO services shape how they are received. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same routine; cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed apart from the guest trays.
Mexican customs treat catering as aircraft stores and restrict imported meat, dairy and fresh produce. Buying local at Durango avoids most questions, and ground handling services at the field clear the paperwork with your handling agent.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“I wanted fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 6 guests at MMDO, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a short ground stop. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of main courses with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the canapés before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about flight catering services.”
“With a late menu amendment to consider at DGO, we needed a practical way to serve a mezze selection with flatbreads to 10 passengers. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the main courses to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. My main takeaway from this airline catering order was the practical approach to written menu details.”
“Choosing beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 4 people at General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a small galley worktop. I wanted clear identification on the sauces; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. My main takeaway from this crew meals order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. Keeping the crew provisions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
A short turnaround at Durango usually means one plated service, and that keeps the bill modest: a chilled cheese and nopal platter costs less than a saucy caldillo with sides. Tell us the slot and the headcount and we price how much private jet catering you actually need, dish by dish.
Ordering is easy here because the terminal is uncomplicated and local produce needs no import paperwork. If you want the return leg ordered from Durango for the way back, send the whole itinerary in one go. Last-minute orders are handled, and the phone is open 24/7; lead time rarely becomes the problem.
Mexican customs look at what comes off the aircraft as much as what goes on. If your passenger count changes at the last minute in Durango, trays are re-counted and re-labelled rather than re-cooked. Leftover food from abroad should not be carried through, and your handling agent will advise on in-flight catering remains.
Personal food is not forbidden, yet customs are strict on what crosses the Mexican border. Putting a Durango product such as cured beef or nopal on the menu avoids the question. Tell us what you would otherwise carry and we match it locally, delivered to the FBO.
No. Catering is not part of a charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced separately. An early departure from Durango suits a breakfast plate, a night departure a lighter supper, and either one is its own order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
