Catering to your aircraft in Manzanillo.
At Manzanillo the ramp is warm, the product is Pacific, and the aircraft is usually a light or midsize jet. We pack for that galley and hand the trays to your FBO at MMZO.
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.
Manzanillo calls itself the sailfish capital, and a private jet menu built here follows the fishing boats: sailfish ceviche cut fresh, shrimp from the Colima coast, grilled fish kept apart from its sauce. Inflight menu choices lean on lime, coconut and tropical fruit, all part of the local specialities you will find in Colima. Private jet food for this coast travels best cold or lightly heated, so we pack seafood chilled and finish it plated in your galley.
For a private jet menu out of Manzanillo, the region gives you tamarind, lime, mango and coconut, plus the tatemado-style meats common across Colima. Inflight menu items should survive a warm ramp, so ceviche stays on ice and dressings go in a separate pot. Private jet food here is simple and bright. These local specialities from Manzanillo suit a short hop up the coast as well as a long leg north.

Manzanillo works as a winter and holiday destination, and the jets that land at ZLO arrive with galleys already planned for the return. Private jet catering here means coastal produce and trays that cope with warm ramps. We supply inflight catering and in-flight catering for business aviation catering orders, executive jet catering for owners, and cabin crew meals for the people working the cabin.
A business jet catering brief at Manzanillo is usually short: a handful of seats, a coast-to-city leg, a menu with fish from the Pacific. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the same line, and charter flight catering at ZLO often adds a return order. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef cooking sailfish and lime at its best, and a bespoke menu written around your passengers.
Government flight catering at Manzanillo runs on protocol: a cleared menu, named staff, and sealed trays traced from kitchen to aircraft. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering at MMZO are kept discreet, with the handling agent receiving the order.
Dietary requests at Manzanillo are handled as a procedure, not a label. On the Colima coast the risks are shellfish in shared fryers, lime marinades with hidden soy and corn-based sauces, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are cooked on separate boards and sealed apart. Special meals and kids meals are marked by seat so the galley never opens the wrong tray.
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 at ZLO, crew meals are a separate request, invoiced on their own. Flight crew meals and crew catering arrive boxed and marked CREW, pilot meals are packed so the cockpit meals can be eaten between tasks, and different meals for pilots are prepared on separate boards. Crew meal boxes stay apart from guest trays, and cabin crew meals are listed with them.
At MMZO the order goes to your FBO, or to the aircraft if the handling agent cleared it. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are arranged around the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering follows your slot. Handling agent catering stays with the same contact, day or night.
Playa de Oro International mostly sees business jets, so most galleys are loaded by hand at the stairs. For a larger aircraft that needs a high loader, tell us the type and the galley layout and we plan the airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning around the door height. Galley catering at MMZO is packed to the ovens you actually have on board.
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.
Manzanillo's airport handles business and holiday traffic, with a general aviation area for private aircraft. Airport catering at MMZO is arranged through the FBO or handling agent on the ramp.
Business aviation catering at Manzanillo follows the winter season, when owners fly in for sailfish tournaments and beach stays. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered per leg, with executive jet catering for owners and diplomatic flight catering for official visits. Cabin crew meals are listed on the same order. General aviation and FBO services at ZLO are straightforward, and ground handling services follow your handling agent. A business aviation hub in miniature.
Entering Mexico with fresh produce, raw meat or dairy invites inspection, so cooked and sealed items clear more easily at Manzanillo. Tell us your origin and route and we choose what travels and what is bought locally.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“One detail shaped our order at MMZO: several individual meal preferences, alongside a request for yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 2 passengers. The main courses came from The Galley Girls in clearly marked packs, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the breakfast portions to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the aviation catering arrangements.”
“Before our guests boarded at ZLO, we needed roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables divided into 4 portions suitable for two separate meal services. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the starters to be packed accordingly. The desserts were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the aviation catering services arrangements.”
“With a small galley worktop to consider at Playa de Oro International Airport, we needed a practical way to serve herb chicken with a quinoa salad to 2 passengers. After a final adjustment to the breakfast portions, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. I want an aviation catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We checked the sandwiches against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
What moves the price here is the product: Pacific shrimp and huachinango sit above tamarind chicken or a fruit plate. Two services also mean two sets of garnishes and sauces packed apart. We quote the real menu for your leg, never a standard rate.
If the turnaround is tight, simple menus work best here: ceviche packed cold, fruit cut that morning. Lead time depends on that choice more than on the airport. We take late requests and handle last-minute orders day or night.
Customs depends where you land next. We label contents, keep allergens listed and avoid fresh produce when the destination restricts it. Send your route for the return and we confirm.
Yes, you can bring food, though customs and the galley both prefer packed, labelled items. If the headcount shifts in Manzanillo, we add or remove individual trays rather than rework the whole order.
A charter contract normally leaves the food out. Order it from us, and pick one product that says Manzanillo, whether tamarind-glazed chicken or a Pacific fish dish. It is billed with the catering order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
