Private jet catering at Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport (SAMM / LGS), Malargue

Catering to your aircraft in Malargue.

Malargue's runway sits high in the Andean foothills, and the season decides who lands. Ski jets in winter, mining and survey flights otherwise: we prepare catering to suit either, delivered plane-side at SAMM.

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 Malargue for your inflight catering

Mendoza Province is wine country, and Malargue is its southern, high-desert corner, so a private jet menu for SAMM leans on what the province does well: Malbec for the cellar list, olive oil, and lamb and goat from the Andean pastures. The local speciality is chivito malargüino, young goat, which we cook and pack so it can be finished in the galley oven with its sauce apart. Gourmet inflight meals built around it travel well on a short leg and need only re-plating. For the cold side, empanadas mendocinas, provolone, cured meats and dulce de leche sweets fit the drawer and the tray without fuss. Private jet food for a ski party looks different: hearty, hot, and easy to serve from one oven. A private jet menu for a survey crew is lighter and boxed. Every inflight menu is agreed with your flight attendant against the galley you actually have, and each local speciality is sealed and labelled before it leaves us. Private jet platters for the cabin, private jet snacks for the climb and a Malargue-sourced cheese board can all be added, ordered and invoiced like the rest.

Malargue gives the menu a clear regional voice. Mendoza Province supplies wine, olives, walnuts and a long tradition of asado, and the high-altitude pastures around the town give the kitchen young goat, the dish people ask for by name. For a private jet menu at LGS we usually build one local main, one cold plate and one sweet, so the inflight menu stays short and the galley stays manageable. Local specialities travel differently from each other: the goat is cooked and finished in the oven, empanadas are re-plated warm, and provolone and charcuterie ride chilled. Private jet food for charters heading back to Buenos Aires or on to Chile is packed for the leg, with sauces kept apart. Gourmet inflight meals are not a premium add-on here, just the normal standard of the kitchen. Private jet platters and private jet snacks sit alongside, and the Mendoza Province wine list is cleared with your crew before loading.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Malargue for business and VIP flights (LGS)

A business jet at Comodoro D.R. Salomón is usually a small group heading to the ski slopes or a mining site, in a light or midsize aircraft with a modest galley. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at SAMM are planned around that kitchen. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method: one hot main, one cold plate, a sweet. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around local goat and Mendoza produce, finished in your oven.

When an official flight lands at LGS, the order starts with protocol. Government flight catering needs approved dishes, sealed packaging and a small, named team. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering add discretion and traceability. State visit aircraft catering at Malargue is handled quietly, and your handling agent receives the paperwork.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport (SAMM)

Special meals at Malargue are handled as a procedure, not a label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each cooked and packed separately, with seat numbers on the lids. The local kitchen leans on wheat in empanada dough and on dulce de leche, so milk, nuts and gluten are the points we check first. Tell us who is on board and what they can't eat, and we plan the dish around it.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Malargue (SAMM)

At SAMM the crew often turns the aircraft on a cold apron, so crew meals are built to be hot and simple. Flight crew meals travel in sealed boxes, pilot meals are packed for one hand, and crew catering is ordered with the flight on request. Cockpit meals go in separate boxes with the pilots' names kept off the lids. Crew meal boxes are invoiced like any other item. Different meals for pilots are prepared when you ask, so captain and first officer never eat the same dish.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport

FBO catering at Malargue is handed over at the general aviation terminal or the apron, to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the slot, and ground handling catering follows the airport's access rules. Handling agent catering at SAMM is simple: tell us who meets the aircraft and we send the order to them.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport (LGS)

On the SAMM apron, the type of aircraft sets how the order goes aboard. Smaller business jets are served by hand at the door, with galley catering carried up in boxes and drawers. A larger type with a high sill may need airside catering delivery with a lift, which your handling agent arranges on the apron. Tell us the type and its galley and we plan aircraft provisioning to match, from a single oven to a full set of trolleys.

About the airportSAMM / LGS

About Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport (SAMM): aviation catering and general aviation

Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport serves Malargue in southern Mendoza Province, at 4,685 ft above sea level. It is a small field with a general aviation apron, used by charters, ski flights and technical visitors. Airport catering here is simple: it arrives at the terminal or the aircraft, ready for the galley, and your handling agent receives it. The ground handling services and FBO services on the field are modest, so we keep the order light and clearly labelled.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Malargue follows the seasons: ski flights in winter, mining and survey flights the rest of the year. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these groups are usually light. Aviation catering for business aviation catering customers is built around the aircraft type. Executive jet catering suits private groups, diplomatic flight catering is occasional, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered alongside. A business aviation hub in the strict sense, it isn't, but it has a steady rhythm. FBO services and ground handling services stay basic, so the order arrives ready to serve.

Customs & food import

Argentina applies animal and plant health controls to imported food, and fresh meat, dairy and produce are the items most often checked. A catering order for Malargue is built around local products and sealed packaging. Customs and the FBO services team on the field decide what clears on the day, and your ground handling services contact confirms it. We adjust the order if something is held.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Food presentation mattered to our 8 guests, but a short ground stop also had to be considered when organising a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables at Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the salads, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The sauces went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. I want an aviation catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Breakfast was already sorted; at SAMM, the next request was herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 5 guests, with limited fridge space to work around. The Galley Girls labelled the fruit plates in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. Keeping the sauces identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Timing and organisation mattered at LGS, where our order of a mezze selection with flatbreads for 5 people involved a family lunch request. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The order made flight catering feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

What crews ask before MalargueAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Malargue with a local goat main?+

Ask what the menu contains, then price it. At Malargue a goat main, a cold board and alfajores come to one figure, while a plain crew lunch for the same flight comes to another. How much private jet catering costs depends entirely on those choices, and we quote them one by one.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Malargue if the passenger count changes late?+

If one more guest joins or two drop off, send us the new count and we change the order. The simplest menus, boxed cold plates and empanadas, flex easily. Dishes built around goat need a little more notice, but last-minute orders are still taken, 24/7, and the lead time stays workable.

What about customs when ordering a return leg from Malargue for the way back?+

Customs rules sit with the arrival country, and Argentina is strict about agricultural products. A return-leg menu from LGS is written with that in mind: baked empanadas, packaged sweets, sealed cheese. We list contents so your handling agent can present them.

Can you bring food of your own on the aircraft at SAMM, given the departure slot and turnaround?+

Own food is possible, though customs and galley space both set limits. At Malargue, where a departure slot can be tight, we suggest sending us the details and letting us pack for the leg, then hand it over at the FBO. It is simpler for your crew when you can bring food through one order rather than several.

Is catering part of a charter on a long leg from Malargue with two services on board?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter contract, so a long flight with two meals needs its own order, invoiced separately. We build the first service around a hot main and the second around cold plates, each labelled by seat.
