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

What Rio Turbio brings to your in-flight catering (RYO)

Santa Cruz Province is lamb country. Cordero patagonico, roasted slowly on the cross or braised, is the dish people name first, and it is the anchor of a Rio Turbio private jet menu. For a galley it travels sliced and chilled, or portioned hot with the jus in a separate pot, so the cabin crew plate it rather than rescue it. Our private jet platters here pair cold lamb, local cheeses and pickled vegetables.

The inflight menu draws on what the south actually grows and bakes: calafate berries, which turn up in preserves and desserts, trout from the lakes further north in Patagonia, and the dulce de leche that finishes almost every sweet course. These local specialities of Rio Turbio and the wider Santa Cruz Province become gourmet inflight meals, labelled by seat.

For a short stop at 28 de Noviembre we keep private jet food simple and cold-friendly: empanadas that finish in the oven, alfajores, sandwiches de miga, fresh fruit. Private jet snacks for the cabin are packed sealed, since a Patagonian wind on the apron is no place for open trays.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at 28 de Noviembre Airport (SAWT)

At 909 feet on the edge of Patagonia, 28 de Noviembre serves a coal town and the steppe around it, so a visiting jet arrives into wind, cold and very little provisioning. Private jet catering at SAWT is therefore built before the aircraft lands: lamb, bread and fruit packed for a galley, handed over at the FBO. Inflight catering here is a short brief, and aviation catering is only as good as what survives the apron. Business aviation catering for Rio Turbio crews, executive jet catering for the occasional charter, diplomatic flight catering when a delegation passes through, and cabin crew meals boxed apart from the guest trays.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at 28 de Noviembre Airport for VIP flights

A corporate jet or charter flight into SAWT usually lands, waits a few hours and leaves, so the brief is short. Corporate jet catering at 28 de Noviembre leans on cold lamb, trout and calafate desserts. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley you actually have, and business jet catering stays simple on a Rio Turbio apron. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same restraint; inflight catering and in-flight catering here are chilled first, with one hot dish at most.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at 28 de Noviembre Airport

When a delegation passes through 28 de Noviembre, government flight catering is arranged through the protocol office, not the kitchen. Head of state flight catering needs traceable ingredients and a small named team; state visit aircraft catering and VIP aviation catering are handled with the same quiet.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at 28 de Noviembre Airport (RYO)

Special meals at 28 de Noviembre are handled as a procedure, not a promise. Argentine kitchens lean heavily on wheat, dairy and meat, so gluten free, vegan, kosher, halal, allergen free and kids meals are cooked on separate boards and packed in separate boxes, labelled by seat. In a lamb-and-empanada region, we check the pastry, the stock and the sauces before anything is marked safe.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at 28 de Noviembre Airport (RYO)

Crew meals at Rio Turbio matter because there may be little to buy nearby. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals on request, invoiced like the rest of the order. Cockpit meals are made to be eaten one-handed, and crew meal boxes are labelled and kept apart from the guest trays. Different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks, and cabin crew meals follow the same rule. Crew catering is ordered with the flight.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, 28 de Noviembre Airport

Ground handling catering at Rio Turbio means the food reaches the aircraft through the FBO, not around it. Our catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent. FBO catering and handling agent catering stay simple at a small field, and the general aviation terminal is the usual meeting point.

High loader delivery for jet catering at 28 de Noviembre Airport (RYO)

Aircraft at Rio Turbio range from turboprops to the occasional larger charter, and the type decides how food is loaded. Smaller cabins take galley catering in boxes carried up the stairs; a larger aircraft may need a high loader for aircraft provisioning at the door. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent so the right vehicle meets the right door.

About the airportSAWT / RYO

Airport catering at 28 de Noviembre Airport (SAWT)

Airport catering at 28 de Noviembre serves a field built for a mining town and a remote corner of Patagonia. It sits at 909 feet in Santa Cruz Province, used for general aviation and the occasional charter. FBO services and ground handling services are modest, so catering is planned ahead.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a generous label for 28 de Noviembre, but private flights do come: charters to the mining area, visitors heading to the steppe. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are quiet. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are arranged ahead, executive jet catering follows the same rule, diplomatic flight catering arrives when delegations pass through, and cabin crew meals are packed apart.

Customs & food import

Argentina regulates fresh meat, dairy and produce crossing its borders, and an international flight out of Rio Turbio must declare what is on board. We pack catering sealed and itemised so your handling agent can clear it. The rules differ by destination, so plan the return leg before loading.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“As the person coordinating a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 11 passengers at RYO, I needed an arrangement that considered different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of sandwiches with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. With FBO catering, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. We also checked the salads before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

“An order of vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 2 people at 28 de Noviembre Airport had to be organised around a short ground stop. The cabin service sequence stood out more than any sales pitch about airport catering. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the canapés before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the snack boxes to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Small packing details became important at SAWT: our 6 passengers wanted a mezze selection with flatbreads, and we had a changing departure schedule. Our brief for inflight catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the canapés, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the main courses identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

The 28 de Noviembre questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered from Rio Turbio for the way back?+

Think of the return as its own order. A hot service with sauces costs more than chilled platters, and trout costs differently from lamb. How much does private jet catering cost at 28 de Noviembre? It depends on what you put in the galley.

What lead time does catering at 28 de Noviembre need around the departure slot and the turnaround?+

Tell us when you depart 28 de Noviembre and how long the aircraft sits. That shapes the lead time: a longer turnaround allows a fuller service, a tight one a lighter cold order. We handle last-minute requests, day or night.

What do customs mean for catering on a long leg with two services on board out of Argentina?+

A two-service leg out of SAWT carries more perishable food, which is the part customs look at. Argentine lamb and cheese are fine to serve but may not clear abroad. We pack with that in mind and label everything for inspection.

Can you bring food of your own at 28 de Noviembre if the season or weather window decides departures?+

Bringing your own food is possible, though customs rules may apply across borders. At Rio Turbio, a closing weather window can shorten the stop, so fresh catering ordered locally avoids carrying spoiled lunches back.

Is catering part of a charter into Rio Turbio when crew duty time and waiting on the ground are an issue?+

Catering is separate from the charter contract. Duty time and a long wait on the ground at 28 de Noviembre make crew meals especially useful, so we add them on request and bill them like any other item.
