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

Local specialities from Ciudad Victoria for your inflight catering

Tamaulipas eats from two worlds: the cattle country of the north and the Gulf coast not far to the east. For a private jet menu out of Ciudad Victoria, that means cabrito al pastor and carne asada tampiqueña on one side, and shrimp and fish from the Gulf on the other. We shape the inflight menu around what the Tamaulipas region does best and what a galley can finish without drama.

Private jet food here travels well when it is built on stews and grills. Machaca con huevo, the dried-beef breakfast of the north, reheats cleanly. Tamales and gorditas keep their shape in a drawer. Local specialities like pan de elote and dulce de leche cajeta finish a flight. Passengers asking for private jet food with a Ciudad Victoria identity usually want these plates, and the inflight menu is written around them.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport (MMCV)

General Pedro Jose Mendez International sits at 761 ft on the plain below the Sierra Madre Oriental, and the airport runs on a rhythm of oil-and-gas charters, state government flights and the odd family trip from the hills. Private jet catering at MMCV is built around that mix: Tamaulipas plates that survive a galley, written up for the person who serves them. Our team of former VIP flight attendants also covers inflight catering and aviation catering for business aviation catering requests, plus executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering when a state delegation lands. Cabin crew meals are quoted on request, like everything else.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Ciudad Victoria for business and VIP flights (CVM)

Business jet catering at CVM tends to be written around a small cabin and a galley with one oven. Corporate jet catering for oil-and-gas teams leans on hot mains that hold, while VIP flight catering for family trips is more about cold plates and local sweets. Charter flight catering for a quick turn is boxed by seat. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef shaping a bespoke menu around Tamaulipas ingredients, not a generic hotel list.

State visit and VIP aviation catering at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport

Official flights into Ciudad Victoria bring protocol, traceability and a short list of named people. Head of state flight catering and government flight catering share the same routine: menu cleared, trays sealed, route documented. State visit aircraft catering and VIP aviation catering are handled quietly through your handling agent.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport

At Ciudad Victoria, the diets that matter are the ones hidden in a Tamaulipas kitchen: flour tortillas and lard in the rice, wheat in the thickened sauces, shellfish stock behind a simple broth. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are written as a procedure: separate board, separate box, seat number on the lid. Special meals and kids meals follow the same drill, so nobody opens the wrong tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport (CVM)

On the ground at MMCV, the crew is usually out of the aircraft for a short while, so crew meals need to be easy: crew meal boxes with a clear label and a re-heat that suits the galley. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are ordered with the trip, cockpit meals are packed apart, and crew catering stays on the invoice as a separate line. Different meals for pilots are written in when the operator wants them.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport (CVM): delivery to your aircraft

At CVM, the order goes to the FBO or to your handling agent, who passes it airside. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed in advance, and FBO catering is handed over at the foot of the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is the usual meeting point, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the airport's own access routine.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport (CVM)

MMCV handles light and mid-size business jets far more often than wide-bodies, so galley catering usually goes in through the cabin door by hand. When a larger aircraft needs a high loader, we confirm the aircraft type and door height with your handling agent for airside catering delivery and agree how the cart reaches the door. Aircraft provisioning for a bigger type is planned around its galley, not the other way round.

About the airportMMCV / CVM

About General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport (MMCV): aviation catering and general aviation

General Pedro Jose Mendez International is the main airport for Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas. Airport catering here follows a mixed traffic of corporate flights, government movements and small charters, with a general aviation ramp and a terminal that receives private arrivals next to scheduled service. Ground handling services at MMCV are the link between the kitchen and the cabin door.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub traffic at Ciudad Victoria is modest but steady: executive jet catering for corporate teams, inflight catering for regional charters and aviation catering for the occasional state visit. In-flight catering at CVM follows the aircraft rather than the airport, and diplomatic flight catering is handled by the protocol side. Business aviation catering for small cabins is boxed and labelled, and cabin crew meals can be added. General aviation and FBO services are the usual interface.

Customs & food import

Mexican customs rules decide what a galley can carry in: fresh meat, dairy and produce arriving from abroad can be held at inspection, which is why a Ciudad Victoria order is sourced locally. Food leaving Mexico is rarely the issue. Your handling agent and the ground handling services on the ramp pass the sealed order airside.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Good preparation made the difference at General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport, where 4 guests expected poached fish with steamed rice despite a tight boarding window. The main courses from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the side dishes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. My main takeaway from this private jet menu order was the practical approach to meal organisation.”

Eva Q. | VIP flight attendant

Falcon 8X

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 4 guests at MMCV to enjoy herb chicken with a quinoa salad without a complicated cabin service. The crew provisions came from The Galley Girls in separate meal boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the salads to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I want a private jet chef to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Mathieu A. | Chief flight attendant

Global 6000

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Small packing details became important at CVM: our 10 passengers wanted a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides, and we had a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls labelled the breakfast portions in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. For in flight catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. The crew provisions were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

General Pedro Jose Mendez International: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Ciudad Victoria when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Gulf shrimp is not priced like pan de elote, so the total depends on what rides in the cabin, not on the airport. If the headcount moves after you order, send the new number and portions are rebalanced. Everything lands on one invoice, like any other order.

What lead time works for a menu built on a local Tamaulipas product at CVM?+

Cabrito and machaca are easy to source in Tamaulipas; fresh Gulf fish and seasonal nopal can shift the plan. Name the local item you want and we confirm what is good that week. Last-minute orders are handled, and substitutions are settled by phone.

What does customs mean for a night or early-morning departure from Ciudad Victoria?+

Customs at MMCV may not staff an unsocial hour, so a night or dawn slot is worth confirming with your handling agent. Food leaving Mexico is not the sticking point; produce and meat arriving from abroad can be held at inspection.

Can you bring food on a delegation or government flight out of MMCV?+

You can, but expect inspection at the ramp and a slower handover. If we supply it instead, it arrives sealed, labelled by seat number, with the route to the aircraft documented, which suits a state delegation.

Is catering part of a charter into Mexico, given its food-import rules?+

No. A private jet charter covers the aircraft; food is a separate order with its own invoice. Because imported fresh food can be held at inspection, most operators let us source locally in Tamaulipas.
