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 Bermejo table, packed for private jet catering

Tarija Department is the one part of Bolivia where the private jet menu can lean on wine country. The valley around Tarija grows grapes at altitude, and the local table shows in the inflight menu: singani, the Bolivian grape spirit, is better left for the ground, but the dishes that go with it travel well. Sugar cane runs along the Bermejo river, so Bermejo itself brings citrus and sweet cane products to private jet food. Local specialities worth building a menu around include saice, a spiced minced beef stew with rice, and chancho a la cruz, the slow roasted pork of Tarija. For the galley they are cooked, portioned and packed so the sauce stays apart and the meat re-plates cleanly. Private jet platters from the valley pair local cheese, cured meats and fruit, gourmet inflight meals follow your type's oven, and private jet snacks stay dry and simple for a crossing into Argentina. All of it is written as a private jet menu for Tarija Department, not a generic list.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Bermejo Airport

A typical Bermejo brief is a business jet or turboprop carrying a small party between the Tarija valley and Argentina, often for sugar, energy or mining work. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here means a compact menu that fits a one-oven galley. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering at BJO are cooked with a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around the type, the seat plan and the border rules, so luxury inflight catering stays realistic.

FBO catering at Bermejo Airport (BJO): delivery to your aircraft

High loader delivery for jet catering at Bermejo Airport (BJO)

Galley catering at Bermejo is sized to the aircraft that actually lands: turboprops and business jets rarely need a high loader. Airside catering delivery is made by hand or small vehicle at the door, and aircraft provisioning follows the type's galley and door height.

About the airportSLBJ / BJO

Airport catering at Bermejo Airport (SLBJ)

Bermejo is a regional airport in the far south of Bolivia, beside the Argentine border. Airport catering here suits a quiet field with a short apron, where ground handling services are run by a small team that knows each arriving aircraft by tail.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Bermejo is regional: oil, gas and sugar interests and visiting officials. Inflight catering and in-flight catering plans follow each type, executive jet catering is tailored to small galleys, aviation catering is hand-delivered, business aviation catering stays discreet, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals can be added alongside the crew meals for the flight deck. The field works as a modest business aviation hub for the valley, with general aviation traffic, FBO services and ground handling services on a small footprint, and an FBO that coordinates the apron.

Customs & food import

Customs at Bermejo covers two countries: Bolivia on departure and Argentina on arrival. Meat, cheese and fresh fruit are the usual items to check, so we label every drawer, and your handling agent, who provides the ground handling services on the apron, clarifies the paperwork.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“My order at BJO covered smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a small galley worktop. This experience of crew meals gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure. The Galley Girls labelled the side dishes in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the sauces without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“We kept the passenger brief simple at Bermejo Airport: prawn salad and small fruit plates for 3 guests, organised with limited fridge space in mind. My main takeaway from this FBO catering order was the practical approach to portion planning. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the fruit plates had been grouped. We could account for the salads before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Despite a family lunch request, we wanted the 8 guests at SLBJ to enjoy a charcuterie board and fresh bread without a complicated cabin service. I needed the sandwiches checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the fruit plates against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation.”

Bermejo: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Bermejo for a small turboprop versus a larger jet?+

Think in terms of galley, not guests. The same flight from Bermejo to Salta on two different aircraft produces two different quotes, because a one-oven galley means sauce apart and simple re-plating, while a bigger galley allows more cooked components.

What is the lead time for private jet catering on a night departure or early slot from Bermejo?+

Lead time at Bermejo depends on the menu you pick: valley products are straightforward, special meals need a little more care. Early morning slots are no problem, and last-minute orders are handled.

Do customs rules affect catering for a long leg with two services on board out of Bermejo?+

Two services over a long leg means two risks at customs. We label each drawer by service and ingredient, keep restricted items out of the second meal, and your handling agent confirms what remains permitted at the next airport.

Can you bring food from outside when a passenger needs a kosher, halal, allergen or child meal at Bermejo?+

You can, but a sealed meal brought from elsewhere may be held at customs or by the handling agent, and the galley cannot always re-plate it safely. For a special meal at Bermejo we prefer to cook it here, separate board, separate box, and handed over still sealed.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Bermejo, if I want a local product on the menu?+

No, a charter does not include food. Ask for a local item, say empanadas tarijeñas, and we add it to a separate invoice alongside the rest of the menu.
