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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Yacuíba (BYC)

Yacuíba lies in the Tarija Department, in the Gran Chaco, where the table leans on grilled beef, corn and cassava rather than delicate plating. A private jet menu for Yacuiba Airport follows that: local specialities that travel well in a galley, such as sonso made from cassava and cheese, humita wrapped in corn husk, and empanadas salteñas-style with a juicy filling. The inflight menu keeps the Chaco grill in mind, with sliced asado packed cold and sauces in separate pots. Private jet food from the border region also means tropical fruit, queso criollo and fresh bread. For private jet platters, think of a cheese and charcuterie board with regional fruit; for gourmet inflight meals, a plated beef dish finished in your oven; for private jet snacks, corn-based bites and nuts. These local specialities are packed to fit your galley, and a bottle from the Tarija Department wine tradition can ride along as a cabin pairing, on request.

For SLYA, the Tarija Department supplies the cooking: beef from the Chaco, corn in every form, cassava, peanuts and subtropical fruit. Any private jet menu written for Yacuíba begins with those ingredients. Our inflight menu leans on local specialities: sonso, humita, cuñapé cheese bread, and a grilled-meat plate that is packed apart from its sauce. Private jet food in this region is generous and rustic, so we adapt it for a small galley and a seat-side tray. As private jet platters, we propose regional cheeses, cured meats and fruit; as gourmet inflight meals, slow-cooked beef or river fish plated cold or finished in the oven; as private jet snacks, cuñapé, roasted peanuts and fruit cups. Each of these local specialities is packed, labelled by seat and handed over through your FBO.

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

Yacuiba Airport sits at 2,112 ft in the Tarija Department, a working border-region field where corporate and energy-sector flights land more often than leisure ones. Private jet catering for SLYA is planned around that traffic: regional dishes, boxed crew meals and sealed trays that survive a hot apron and a small galley. Whether you call it inflight catering, in-flight catering or aviation catering, the brief stays the same: tell us the tail, the slot and the seat plan. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are handed over through your FBO or handling agent, and diplomatic flight catering follows protocol rules. Cabin crew meals are an on-request item here, invoiced like the rest.

Business aviation catering at Yacuiba Airport (BYC)

Corporate jet catering at SLYA starts with a short brief: the tail, the headcount and the galley you actually have. Business jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for Yacuiba Airport lean on Chaco beef, corn and cassava. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around those products, plated cold or finished in your oven. For an inflight catering or in-flight catering order here, luxury inflight catering means tidy seat-numbered trays, handed over at the aircraft through your FBO.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Yacuiba Airport (SLYA)

In Yacuíba the allergens hide in familiar places: peanuts in snacks and sauces, cheese in cassava breads, wheat in empanada pastry, shared grills for meat. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are handled as a procedure: separate board, separate box, seat number on the lid, and a chef who reads the diet card before cooking. Corn and cassava make gluten free natural here, while vegan options use local vegetables, beans and fruit.

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

At SLYA, the FBO and the general aviation terminal set the pace for delivery. Our FBO catering is handed over at the aircraft on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering run through one contact, so the galley is loaded once.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Yacuiba Airport (BYC)

Here at Yacuiba Airport, the aircraft type dictates how the galley gets loaded. Smaller business jets take trays and boxes by hand through the cabin door, while larger aircraft may need a high loader or steps agreed with your handling agent. Galley catering is sized to the oven and drawers you actually have, and airside catering delivery follows the apron access set by the FBO. For aircraft provisioning at Yacuiba Airport, tell us the type and the galley layout so the load matches the space.

About the airportSLYA / BYC

About Yacuiba Airport (SLYA): aviation catering and general aviation

BYC is a modest airport in a hot, dry subtropical zone, used for regional services, energy-sector flights and visiting delegations. Airport catering here is simple and local, handed over at the aircraft.

Business aviation

Yacuíba is not a big business aviation hub, but it is a working one. General aviation traffic depends on FBO services and ground handling services for each landing. We provide inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at SLYA, plus business aviation catering and executive jet catering, with diplomatic flight catering for official flights and cabin crew meals on request.

Customs & food import

Import rules for fresh food depend on the country you fly to next. Bolivian authorities check meat, dairy and fruit at SLYA, so we use sealed packaging and clear labels, and confirm the plan with your handler.

★★★★☆VIP AIRLINER
“Service planning came first at Yacuiba Airport, with 2 passengers choosing a mezze selection with flatbreads and a small galley worktop influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the crew provisions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering. The cabin team could match the side dishes to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
Mateusz F. | Chief cabin officer
BBJ
★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Despite a changing departure schedule, we wanted the 2 guests at SLYA to enjoy a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables without a complicated cabin service. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about vip inflight catering. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of salads with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the desserts listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
Finn I. | Chief flight attendant
Falcon 8X
★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Before our guests boarded at BYC, we needed beef fillet with roasted potatoes divided into 5 portions suitable for a family lunch request. This experience of private jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure. We changed the quantities of desserts, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the starters quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Questions crews ask about YacuíbaAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Yacuiba Airport for a return leg ordered here?+

A return leg is a good moment to simplify. Cold regional platters and snacks keep the total modest, while hot gourmet meals and special diet preparations raise it. Private jet catering at BYC is quoted per menu and invoiced on its own line.

What is the lead time for catering on a short repositioning flight into Yacuiba?+

Short hops with an empty cabin rarely need a full menu, so lead time here depends on the slot and customs for fresh produce. At Yacuiba Airport, last-minute orders are handled; tell us the aircraft type and we adapt the load.

How do customs work for catering on a delegation or government flight at Yacuiba?+

Delegations pass through Yacuíba with strict expectations on traceability. Customs rules for fresh food depend on the onward country, so the menu is agreed with protocol and your handler before the slot.

Can you bring food on board at Yacuiba, depending on the departure slot and turnaround?+

If your slot at BYC is tight, we recommend one handover rather than several. You may bring food, but destination customs rules still apply, and the order we pack arrives labelled for the galley.

Is catering part of a charter flying a midsize jet into Yacuiba?+

On a midsize jet into Yacuíba, catering sits outside the charter price. It is ordered and invoiced separately, and sized to the galley you actually have.
