Private jet catering at Mercedes Airport (SATM / MDX), Mercedes

Catering to your aircraft in Mercedes.

Mercedes sits among the Corrientes marshlands and cattle estancias, where trips run on weather and on estancia weekends, not on a fixed schedule. We cook for a light-jet galley, pack it by seat, and meet the aircraft on your slot.

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 Mercedes table, packed for private jet catering

Corrientes Province eats from the Paraná and the Iberá wetlands, and its local specialities hold up in a galley better than you might expect. Surubí keeps its shape when reheated; dorado is better served cold or grilled just before the doors close. That river fish is the backbone of a private jet menu that tastes of Corrientes rather than of somewhere else.

Beef is the second pillar. Cattle country means asado cuts, and chipá, the cheese bread of the northeast, is the snack every passenger recognises. On a Mercedes inflight menu the asado comes sliced by seat with chimichurri in its own pot, and the chipá in a foil sleeve for the oven. Private jet food at this field works best when it is plain, local and labelled for the galley you actually have.

A Mercedes trip usually means river and ranch in one day, so a box often pairs a cold fish plate with a hot beef main. Each item carries a note: oven, or eat as it comes.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Mercedes Airport (SATM)

Mercedes, in Corrientes Province, is a grass-and-gravel country field where a ranch weekend sets the pace: few passengers, a long lunch, a sun that bakes the apron. Private jet catering here is built before the aircraft lands, because the town offers little fresh supply to fall back on. In-flight catering for these trips means food that holds at forty degrees, and inflight catering for the crew is packed to eat standing at the door.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Mercedes (SATM)

Business jet catering at Mercedes is rarely a boardroom flight. Corporate jet catering here usually means a landowner, a lodge guest list or a rural investor flying in for the day, often four to six on board. VIP flight catering for these trips leans on grilled beef, river fish and cold salads that hold through a long ground time. Charter flight catering is written around the sun and the heat: luxury inflight catering that tastes right at forty degrees on the apron. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu from the passenger list, and we keep crew trays apart from guest service.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Mercedes Airport

Government flight catering at Mercedes is occasional and tied to provincial business in Corrientes. Head of state flight catering is not routine on this field, but VIP aviation catering for officials and delegations is handled the same careful way: a named contact, a menu cleared before cooking, and sealed trays with no passenger names. For a state visit aircraft catering request, give us the tail and the handover window early, because the field has little local backup if a plan changes.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Mercedes Airport

On a ranch-country menu the allergen risk sits in the grill and the shared board, so special meals are prepared apart from the main service and packed sealed. Kosher and halal trays stay closed until served, and the same goes for vegan and gluten free dishes, with allergen free meals boxed separately and kids meals marked by seat number. In Corrientes, check chipá for cheese and wheat and the stews for hidden flour; we flag both on the label.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Mercedes (MDX)

Crew meals at Mercedes are commanded on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Pilot meals and flight crew meals suit a long wait on a hot apron, so crew catering here is packed to eat without a table: a grilled chicken sandwich, fruit, water. Cockpit meals are labelled CREW and kept apart from guest trays, and different meals for pilots are possible when the operator asks. Crew meal boxes also work for cabin crew meals when the cabin is quiet but the day is long.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Mercedes Airport

FBO catering at Mercedes means a small general aviation terminal and a short apron, with access arranged through the handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering staff so the van is cleared to the aircraft on your slot. Tell the handling agent catering contact the tail and the time in advance, because the field is quiet and gates are not always staffed. We confirm who opens the door, then hand over at the aircraft.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Mercedes Airport (MDX)

Mercedes sees small and mid-size business jets, so galley catering is carried aboard by hand and no high loader is expected. Airside catering delivery is simple: trays go up the stairs, packed to fit the drawers and the single oven. Aircraft provisioning for a larger type is possible on request, but tell us the aircraft first so we pack for the galley you actually have.

About the airportSATM / MDX

About Mercedes Airport (MDX): airport catering for business aviation

Mercedes Airport, SATM or MDX, serves the town of Mercedes in Corrientes Province, ringed by cattle estancias and the Iberá wetlands. Traffic is general aviation and the occasional charter, with no scheduled service, so the field has no airport catering of its own and the whole order has to arrive with the van. FBO services and ground handling services run through one handling agent, and executive jet catering for a lodge or estancia trip is planned around that single contact. Business aviation catering here is quiet work: a few trays, a clear slot, a named person at the gate.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Mercedes follows the calendar of the region: estancia weekends, fishing season on the Paraná and Iberá tourism, with summer heat deciding what you can serve. It works as a small business aviation hub for the northeast of Argentina, with flexible slots and little support on the ground. Diplomatic flight catering is rare on this field, but a visiting delegation is handled with the same sealed, unnamed trays as any other movement.

Customs & food import

Argentina controls the import of fresh meat, dairy and produce at customs, and food arriving from abroad can be held or refused. Plan to source on the ground in Argentina rather than carry perishables in, and tell us at ordering so we stay within the rules.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“For 7 passengers departing from MDX, the agreed menu was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the starters against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet catering menu.”

Matteo R. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Small packing details became important at Mercedes Airport: our 6 passengers wanted a cheese board and savoury canapés, and we had two separate meal services. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. For our team, the strongest part of their private aviation catering was how they handled packing arrangement. We left the starters stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Passenger preferences led us to grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at SATM; 11 portions were needed, with several individual meal preferences factored into preparation. With business jet catering, careful attention to storage requirements matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the main courses, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the salads to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

Questions crews ask about MercedesAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Mercedes if a passenger needs a kosher or halal meal?+

A kosher or halal meal sealed for one passenger usually costs more than a standard plate, because it is prepared apart and packed in its own tray. A surubí lunch for five costs less than a mixed grill for the same headcount. Send the menu and the passenger numbers and we price that flight.

What is the lead time for catering at Mercedes, with the handling agent and airside access?+

Order about ten hours before departure where you can, since airside access at Mercedes goes through the handling agent and the gate has to be opened for the van. Last-minute orders are handled, but clearance still takes time, so send the tail and the slot as soon as you have them.

What are the customs rules for catering at Mercedes, Argentina?+

Argentina restricts fresh meat, dairy and produce at entry, and food arriving from abroad can be held or refused. That is why we cook and source in country rather than ship perishables in. Tell us what you carry and we say what is safe to declare.

Can you bring food on a government or delegation flight into Mercedes?+

Passengers may carry their own food, but on a delegation flight the handling agent and customs can ask to inspect it. For official movements we prefer sealed trays with no names, cooked locally and cleared before anything is prepared.

Is catering part of a charter into Mercedes for a night departure or early slot?+

No. The charter covers the aircraft; food is a separate order with its own invoice. For a night or dawn slot, give us the departure time so the van meets the aircraft while the FBO is staffed and the crew is on board.
