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

The Rio Grande table, packed for private jet catering

Tierra del Fuego Province is lamb country. Cordero fueguino, slow-roasted over an open fire on the island's estancias, is the dish people remember, and it travels well as a private jet menu item: carved, packed in its own jus, finished in the galley oven. Rio Grande also sits on cold South Atlantic water, so centolla, the Patagonian king crab, shows up on every inflight menu we build here, served chilled and cracked in advance so nobody fights a shell at altitude.

For private jet food at Rio Grande we lean on what the region does best: lamb, king crab, Atlantic hake and trout from the island's rivers. These are the local specialities that guests ask for after a day of fishing or a mine-site visit, and they fit a private jet platters order as easily as a hot service. The snacks side stays simple: empanadas, alfajores and regional cheese, boxed for the cabin.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Rio Grande (SAWE)

Business jet catering at Rio Grande is usually a short brief: four to eight passengers, a fishing or mining trip, and a galley with one oven. Corporate jet catering here leans on lamb and trout, while VIP flight catering for charter flight catering clients adds king crab. Luxury inflight catering follows the same rule: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what your galley can finish, in Tierra del Fuego or anywhere else.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport (RGA)

When a state aircraft lands at Rio Grande, discretion matters more than novelty. Government flight catering here is cooked by a small team and handed over plane-side. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering all run on the same procedure: cleared menu, sealed boxes, no names on the lids.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport

Rio Grande is a lamb-and-seafood kitchen, so allergens hide where you would expect: shellfish in the crab dishes, wheat in the empanada pastry, dairy in the regional cheeses. We treat kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders as a procedure, with a separate board and a separate box, sealed and marked by seat number. Special meals and kids meals follow the same labelling, so the person serving knows what is on each tray.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport (RGA)

FBO catering at SAWE ends where the aircraft stops. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the apron rules at the general aviation terminal in Rio Grande. Handling agent catering means one contact, one delivery, one signature.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport

Business jets at SAWE are small enough that galley catering usually travels by hand or trolley, but larger airliner-based VIP aircraft do land here. For those, airside catering delivery means a high loader at the door, and aircraft provisioning planned around the galley layout. Give us the aircraft type and what the galley holds, and the order is cooked and boxed to fit.

About the airportSAWE / RGA

About Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International (RGA) is a quiet southern airport with a long runway and a small general aviation area. Airport catering is simple here: one apron, one point of delivery, and catering coordinated through ground handling services.

Business aviation

Rio Grande is a niche business aviation hub: fishing seasons, expedition groups and island logistics drive the traffic. General aviation operators use FBO services and ground handling services for refuelling and passenger transfer, while we handle inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering. Executive jet catering for owners and diplomatic flight catering for official visits follow the same path as cabin crew meals.

Customs & food import

Argentina's food import rules restrict fresh meat, dairy and seafood crossing the border. If your leg out of Rio Grande is international, plan the order with that in mind and ask your handling agent about declarations for leftovers.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Food presentation mattered to our 9 guests, but a changing departure schedule also had to be considered when organising grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at RGA. For FBO catering, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage. 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.”

★★★★☆ROYAL FLIGHT

“We kept the passenger brief simple at Gobernador Ramón Trejo Noel International Airport: a cheese board and savoury canapés for 12 guests, organised with different crew meal preferences in mind. We changed the quantities of snack boxes, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the fruit plates against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. My main takeaway from this airport catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Choosing a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 10 people at SAWE was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. I wanted clear identification on the canapés; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The salads were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. This experience of inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing crew briefing on another departure.”

Before you order at SAWEAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a night departure or an early morning slot from Rio Grande?+

Departure hour matters less to the price than the menu. A quiet slot at Rio Grande lets us cook calmly, but the bill follows what is on the tray: platters, hot courses, special meals.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when you want a local product like king crab at Rio Grande?+

Local specialities at Rio Grande are simple to add: tell us you want fueguino lamb or centolla and we confirm what is fresh. Same-day requests are handled, and we say honestly if a dish cannot be sourced.

What about customs when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Rio Grande?+

Headcount can move up or down until you leave. We re-portion by seat, and for international sectors out of RGA we explain what the border will and will not allow on board.

Can you bring food on board at Rio Grande on a return leg ordered from here?+

Yes, within customs limits. The practical option for a return flight from SAWE is to order here, with the seat plan and special meals marked, and receive it plane-side.

Is catering part of a charter departing Rio Grande, given the departure slot and the length of the turnaround?+

The charter price does not cover the menu. Whether your turnaround at SAWE is brief or long, catering is requested, confirmed and invoiced on its own.
