Catering to your aircraft in San Luis Potosí.
At MMSP the rhythm follows the industrial week: business jets in, short stays, a crew that needs a proper meal. We pack for the galley and hand it over at your FBO.
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.
San Luis Potosí is the Huasteca's gateway and the heart of the Altiplano, and its table travels better than most. For a private jet menu out of SLP, enchiladas potosinas are the classic: corn masa coloured with chile ancho and filled with fresh cheese, served from the oven with the sauce apart. Queso de tuna and colonche, both made from the prickly pear, are real local specialities, and the fruit pairs well on a cold board. Cecina huasteca, thin salted beef, and zacahuil, the giant Huasteca tamal, round out an inflight menu that tastes of the region. Nopal salad, bocoles and fresh tortillas give private jet food a clear identity for San Luis Potosí.
What a guest remembers from San Luis Potosí is the plateau: chile ancho, prickly pear, fresh cheese, corn. A private jet menu built here uses those, not a generic international card. Enchiladas potosinas finish in the galley oven with the sauce in its own pot; a cold board carries queso de tuna, nopal and sliced fruit; cecina huasteca is portioned for the plate. Those local specialities make the inflight menu specific to this region, and the private jet food arrives packed for the galley of your aircraft.

At San Luis Potosí the industrial corridor fills the ramp with corporate jets midweek, and the cabin wants lunch that eats well after a short sector. Private jet catering at MMSP is built for that galley: aviation catering and business aviation catering that suit an operator's standard trip, executive jet catering for the principal, and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation lands. Everything is packed for the crew who will re-plate it.
Business jet catering at SLP follows the corporate calendar. Corporate jet catering for a plant visit, VIP flight catering for the principal, and charter flight catering for an empty cabin that suddenly fills: each starts from the type and the headcount. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu with luxury inflight catering touches, such as enchiladas potosinas and queso de tuna on a cold board.
Government flight catering at MMSP starts with protocol, not with the kitchen. Head of state flight catering means a named team, traceable ingredients and a closed handover. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are priced per menu, with discretion on every label.
At San Luis Potosí, special meals are handled as a procedure shaped by the local kitchen. Corn, chile, peanut and tree nut turn up in sauces and masa, so allergen free requests are traced through every component, and gluten free uses corn tortillas that stay separate from wheat. Kosher, halal and vegan meals travel sealed, with the seat number on the lid, and kids meals are simple plates a child will actually eat.
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.
Crew meals at SLP are packed for the people who fly the aircraft, on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed, hot or cold, and crew meal boxes are marked CREW. We can send different meals for pilots, since the captain and first officer should not share a dish, and cockpit meals are made to be eaten one-handed. Crew catering is a line of the order, not an afterthought.
At MMSP the order passes through your handling agent: FBO catering, catering delivery to the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering all land at the aircraft on your slot. Handling agent catering is simply the agent opening the right gate.
A large aircraft at SLP needs galley catering planned around its door height and the airside catering delivery to the stand. The aircraft type decides whether a high loader is needed, and how aircraft provisioning is staged on the ramp. Tell us the type and its galley, and the trolleys are built to fit your configuration.
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.

Ponciano Arriaga International Airport sits on the Altiplano at 6,035 feet above sea level, and airport catering here is shaped by that altitude and by the plant-visit calendar of San Luis Potosí. General aviation parks and turns beside the commercial schedule, and FBO services and ground handling services decide which gate opens for the catering delivery.
Inflight catering and in-flight catering at SLP follow the corporate week. Aviation catering and business aviation catering serve crews flying executives in, executive jet catering suits the principal, diplomatic flight catering covers official visits, and cabin crew meals complete the order. It is a business aviation hub of the Altiplano rather than a tourist airport.
Mexico controls the entry of raw animal products and fresh produce, so a plate prepared outside the country is the one that gets questioned. At San Luis Potosí the order is cooked from local ingredients and sealed for the galley, then passed through the handling agent. Ground handling services and FBO services only need the tail and the slot to open the right gate.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Rather than an elaborate service at SLP, our 9 guests wanted a charcuterie board and fresh bread, organised sensibly around an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of canapés with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the crew provisions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I would discuss aviation catering services with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination.”
“My order at Ponciano Arriaga International Airport covered mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 11 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of an evening cabin service. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sauces to be packed accordingly. I want an aviation catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Our colleague could take over the main courses without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“Between cabin checks at MMSP, I coordinated mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 7 guests and explained our concerns about a changing departure schedule. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience. I needed the main courses checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The sauces remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
What moves the price at SLP is sourcing: local Potosino ingredients sit at the low end, imported delicacies and regulated products at the high end. Customs rules for the country are the reason. We quote after the menu is chosen, billed like any other order.
Airside access runs through your handling agent, so we start from that: the agent, the stand, the slot. After that the order is straightforward, and last-minute orders are handled day or night.
Customs in Mexico limits raw animal products and fresh produce, which matters most for dietary meals. A halal or kosher plate that must cross the border is the risky one; one prepared at San Luis Potosí is not.
Food from your own side is possible, but local rules apply, and the size of the galley matters. On a short-range jet we recommend a cold board and one hot dish, packed to fit.
Catering sits outside the charter contract. An aircraft that repositions empty to San Luis Potosí needs nothing; once passengers are booked, the menu is ordered and billed as a separate order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
