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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Villa Dolores

Villa Dolores sits in the Traslasierra valley, on the western flank of the Sierras de Córdoba, and Córdoba Province eats like the interior of Argentina: grilled meat, empanadas, cured goat and sheep cheeses, honey and olive oil from the valley, and dulce de leche with everything sweet. A private jet menu for Villa Dolores works with that table, and the local specialities are adapted to travel instead of copied from a restaurant. The inflight menu keeps the grill flavours but finishes them in the galley: sliced beef packed cold with chimichurri in its own pot, empanadas that go into the oven, cheese and cured meat boards that need nothing. Private jet food from this region is simple and generous, so private jet platters are built around regional cheese, olives, nuts and fruit, gourmet inflight meals take the provincial cuts and tame them for a small oven, and private jet snacks lean on alfajores, dried fruit and almonds. Córdoba Province is a good place to order local and plan little.

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

A hillside valley, a short general aviation apron and an aircraft that may sit for a few hours: that is SAOD. Our private jet catering for Villa Dolores starts from what your galley can really do. We pack inflight catering and in-flight catering for the next leg, aviation catering marked by seat, and cabin crew meals for the people flying. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering get the same plane-side handover, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Villa Dolores for business and VIP flights (VDR)

Corporate jet catering at Villa Dolores is usually a small order: a few passengers on a corporate jet or charter flight, arriving for the valley and leaving after a short stop. Business jet catering and VIP flight catering here start from the galley you have, so a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Córdoba Province produce, with sauces in their own pots and the oven dishes marked. Charter flight catering follows the same brief, and luxury inflight catering, whether inflight catering or in-flight catering for the next leg, stays simple and generous.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Villa Dolores Airport

Special meals at Villa Dolores are a procedure, not a promise on a menu. Kosher and halal orders are agreed in advance and kept sealed, vegan and gluten free meals are prepared on their own boards, and allergen free trays are cooked separately and marked by seat number. The local kitchen leans on beef, wheat in empanada pastry, dairy in dulce de leche and nuts in sweets, so those are the points we watch. Kids meals are simple and familiar: plain pasta, grilled chicken, fruit.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Villa Dolores Airport

FBO catering at Villa Dolores means catering delivery to the FBO or straight to the aircraft. We coordinate with your handling agent for ground handling catering, and the general aviation terminal is where the handover usually happens. Handling agent catering is arranged on your slot.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Villa Dolores Airport

Most traffic at SAOD is light and midsize aircraft, so galley catering is carried by hand or by cart to the cabin door, with no high loader needed. For a larger aircraft that needs a lift, tell us the type and we plan the airside catering delivery around it. Aircraft provisioning here is about the galley you really have: its oven, its drawers and the space for the return leg.

About the airportSAOD / VDR

Aviation catering and business aviation at Villa Dolores Airport (VDR)

Villa Dolores Airport is a small airport serving the Traslasierra valley in Córdoba Province. Airport catering here supports general aviation traffic, with FBO services and ground handling services kept simple, and the airport works as a modest business aviation hub for the region.

Business aviation

Seasonal weather shapes business aviation here: summer storms and winter fog change departures. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are adjusted to the slot, aviation catering and business aviation catering stay flexible, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed for the crew.

Customs & food import

Argentina controls imported fresh food, so catering for Villa Dolores is best sourced locally. Your handling agent can confirm customs rules for any food you carry in, and we keep crew meals and passenger trays separate for inspection.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“The 6 passenger portions of a cheese board and savoury canapés were the easy part; managing two separate meal services at Villa Dolores Airport took more planning. The order made inflight catering services feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the starters could be arranged during service. The desserts stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Good preparation made the difference at SAOD, where 7 guests expected fresh fruit and breakfast pastries despite limited fridge space. I want an inflight catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The starters from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the canapés properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Packing prawn salad and small fruit plates for 9 passengers at VDR needed careful thought, especially given several individual meal preferences. After a final adjustment to the canapés, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the main courses against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience.”

The Villa Dolores questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg out of Villa Dolores?+

An example from this field: two services on a long leg, empanadas and grilled beef first, a fruit and cheese plate later. That costs more than one boxed lunch, mainly for the extra cooking and packing. Local items from Córdoba Province are good value; imported or out-of-season items are not. We quote per menu once we know the aircraft, seats and legs.

What lead time should I plan for private jet catering at Villa Dolores?+

Plan your order around the weather window, not the calendar. When the valley is clear, departures from SAOD are straightforward; when a front arrives, schedules slide. We handle last-minute orders and changes, so give us the trip as you know it and tell us when it moves.

How do customs work for catering at Villa Dolores, with crew waiting on the ground?+

Customs on an Argentine field means imported fresh food is the risk, and local catering avoids it. For Villa Dolores that suits crews with duty-time limits: crew meals and passenger meals made from local produce are on the aircraft without inspection delays on imported items. Ask your handling agent about your specific cargo, and we arrange the rest.

Can you bring food on a short repositioning flight into Villa Dolores with an empty cabin?+

Bringing your own food on a repositioning flight works until you reach customs. Argentina limits imported fresh food, so we usually advise ordering crew meals locally at SAOD and a light welcome tray for the passengers boarding after. It stays simple and nothing is stuck at the door.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Villa Dolores on a small aircraft?+

Catering is not part of a private jet charter, however small the aircraft. A light aircraft flying into SAOD often has limited galley space, so we keep the menu compact: cold platters, a single oven dish and sealed snacks. It is ordered and invoiced separately.
