Catering to your aircraft in Oaxaca.
At almost 5,000 feet, Xoxocotlán has its own rhythm: cool mornings, busy holiday weeks, a steady stream of corporate and leisure flights. We write the menu for your galley and meet you at the aircraft.
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.
Oaxaca is the most food-driven state in Mexico, and a private jet menu from MMOX can say so without being heavy. A private jet menu built here usually starts with the seven moles, of which negro and coloradito travel best: they sit in their own pot, reheat in the galley oven, and go over chicken or grilled vegetables at the seat. Oaxaca cheese, the pulled string quesillo, is the local specialty that works as cold private jet food and as a melting element on hot plates.
For an inflight menu from Oaxaca, tlayudas are the signature: a large crisp tortilla with asiento, beans, cheese and cecina. They go out flat and dry, and the toppings are packed apart so the base stays crisp until you re-plate. Tasajo, chapulines in small pots for the curious, hot chocolate tablets and fruit from the valley round out local specialities. Everything is packed for a galley with one small oven.
Mezcal belongs to Oaxaca, but on a private jet food order it appears as a flavour rather than a pour: mezcal-lime dressings, a smoked salt rim, a dessert with a mezcal syrup in a sealed pot. Local specialities we plan around also include tamales wrapped in banana leaf, memelas, and seasonal fruit such as mamey and tuna. The Oaxaca region gives the menu its identity; we keep portions plated for the cabin.

Oaxaca sits at nearly 5,000 feet, and the cabin air at Xoxocotlán is dry and cool by the time the doors open. Private jet catering at MMOX is built around that: mole that reheats without splitting, quesillo that holds in the drawer, and tlayudas that go out crisp. For inflight catering and in-flight catering on a long onward leg, we pack to the galley you actually have. Aviation catering for business aviation catering clients, executive jet catering for owners' trips, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals all come from the same team of former flight attendants.
Business jet catering at MMOX usually comes from a corporate flight department or an owner heading out with guests. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same brief: seat plan, restrictions, galley type. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Oaxaca's mole and cheeses, and luxury inflight catering means each plate is labelled for the seat.
Government flight catering at Xoxocotlán follows protocol before it follows a recipe. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared with the delegation, state visit aircraft catering is sealed, traced and handed over by a named team, with discretion kept throughout.
Oaxaca's table is built on corn, and that helps: tlayudas, tamales and memelas are naturally gluten-free when made from masa alone, but the wheat bread and some mole thickeners are where traces hide. We read the sauces before anything is plated, and kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are boxed apart with the seat number on the lid. Nut and seed content in the moles is declared on the card, because almond, peanut and sesame are common here.
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.
The crew at MMOX often eats last. Our crew meals are sealed boxes labelled CREW, with flight crew meals for the cabin and pilot meals for the cockpit. Crew catering is on request and invoiced with the order. Cockpit meals are easy to eat in the seat, crew meal boxes keep to the schedule, and different meals for pilots are packed separately.
FBO catering at Xoxocotlán is delivered to the FBO or the general aviation terminal, whichever your handling agent uses. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated through ground handling catering arrangements, and handling agent catering instructions are confirmed before we move.
Xoxocotlán handles business aviation on a modest apron, and the aircraft type decides the loading: a light jet takes the galley boxes by hand through the door, while a larger cabin needs a high loader. Galley catering and aircraft provisioning at OAX are planned around the door height and the galley you have, with airside catering delivery arranged through your handling agent. Tell us the type and we pack to its drawers and its oven.
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.
Xoxocotlán International Airport serves Oaxaca city and the valley, with a general aviation presence for business aviation. Airport catering here deals with altitude, a dry season and a compact apron, and FBO services and ground handling services cover the usual needs.
Business aviation at OAX peaks in the dry season and around festival weeks. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for owner flights, aviation catering and business aviation catering for corporate departments, executive jet catering for VIP guests, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals for the crew all follow the same plan. As a business aviation hub for the region it stays modest in size.
Mexican customs control the import of food, so outside fresh items may be inspected. Catering prepared in Oaxaca arrives already cleared, and for the return leg we match the menu to the destination country's rules on cheese, meat and produce.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Small packing details became important at Xoxocotlán International Airport: our 6 passengers wanted a breakfast basket with individual preserves, and we had a short ground stop. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about crew briefing. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the salads before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The sauces went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“One detail shaped our order at MMOX: limited fridge space, alongside a request for mushroom risotto and a green salad for 3 passengers. We changed the quantities of salads, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. This experience of private jet catering menu gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure.”
“The 7 passenger portions of a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides were the easy part; managing a changing departure schedule at OAX took more planning. The salads came from The Galley Girls in clearly marked packs, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the fruit plates from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. With private aviation catering, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
Ask how much private jet catering costs here and we start with the route. Two services over a long leg means two sets of plating and a second drawer. Local ingredients like quesillo and valley fruit keep the cost reasonable; imported seafood or a tasting menu raises it.
Tell us the slot first. Lead time for private jet catering at Xoxocotlán follows the turnaround: a longer ground time allows a full menu, a quick one favours a cold plate. Last-minute orders are handled, with the menu trimmed to suit.
Customs in Mexico concerns what comes in; the destination concerns what goes out. An order from MMOX for the return flight is built from allowed items for where you land, with cheese and fruit swapped if required. Give us the arrival airport and we advise.
Yes, but keep it sealed and packaged. Mexico may hold imported fresh items. If your passenger count changes late, tell us and we add portions, and your own food stays a supplement rather than a plan.
Catering sits as its own order, billed on its own. Into Oaxaca, a single local product like Oaxaca cheese can anchor the menu, and the rest is built around it. We deliver to your FBO or handling agent.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
