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

Regional dishes of Curitiba for jet catering at BFH

Paraná eats like the highlands it is. Curitiba's private jet menu leans on pinhão, the araucaria pine seed that arrives in autumn and winter, boiled or roasted, and on barreado, the slow-cooked beef stew of the coast that travels better than most dishes you could name. For an inflight menu out of Bacacheri we pack local specialities the way they have to fly: the barreado sealed and hot, farofa and banana on the side, with the sauce kept apart so nothing goes soft.

Private jet food from Curitiba works best when it respects Paraná's own pantry. Erva-mate shows up in drinks and in a green, slightly bitter cha gelado that cabins like on a warm leg. For snacks we use pão de queijo, cheese bread that re-warms in the galley oven, and brigadeiro for the end of the meal. Private jet platters of Paraná cheeses, cured meats and fruit make a clean cold option, and gourmet inflight meals can follow the highland kitchen: grilled meats, polenta and local vegetables. Private jet snacks stay simple and easy to hand across the aisle. Local specialities are written onto the menu so the crew knows exactly what is under each lid.

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

Bacacheri sits at just over 3,000 feet in the Paraná highlands, where a cold front can turn a mild afternoon into drizzle and a hot galley into a priority. Private jet catering at SBBI is built around that: dishes that hold on a cool apron, packed for the drawer, with inflight catering and aviation catering planned around your aircraft type. In-flight catering for a Curitiba stop also covers business aviation catering and executive jet catering for corporate crews, diplomatic flight catering for delegations, and cabin crew meals for the people working the cabin.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Bacacheri Airport (SBBI)

A Bacacheri brief is usually short and specific: a corporate group from São Paulo, a turboprop with a small galley, a charter flight carrying a family north. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour plated cold lunches and one hot dish. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same rule: the galley decides what flies. Luxury inflight catering uses Paraná produce, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu once the covers and diets are known.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Bacacheri Airport

Official travel through Bacacheri is handled with the discretion of a protocol office. Government flight catering for a ministerial group and head of state flight catering for a visiting delegation follow the same chain: menu cleared first, kitchen second, handover through the handling agent third. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering at Curitiba carry traceability on every dish.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Bacacheri Airport (SBBI)

Curitiba's kitchen leans on cassava flour, wheat, dairy and cured pork, so special meals at SBBI start with reading the recipe, not the label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free dishes are cooked and packed separately from the rest of the order, with kids meals handled the same way. Each is marked by seat number and restriction so the crew can serve without a second question.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Bacacheri Airport (BFH)

Cockpit meals at Curitiba are written with one thing in mind: someone has to eat them between tasks. Crew meals on request, ordered and invoiced like any other item, cover flight crew meals for both seats, and pilot meals are kept separate so there is no sharing of a dish. Crew catering at Bacacheri uses crew meal boxes marked by role, and different meals for pilots are arranged whenever the operator's rules require it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Bacacheri Airport

Handover at Bacacheri takes place at the FBO or through your handling agent, at the aircraft. FBO catering for SBBI follows the apron routine: a vehicle, a name, a door. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against your slot, and the general aviation terminal is where the paperwork is signed. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering work from the same instruction set.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Bacacheri Airport (SBBI)

Bacacheri handles mostly turboprops, light and mid-size jets, so most deliveries are carried to the aircraft door. When a larger cabin comes in, galley catering is loaded by high loader through your handling agent. Airside catering delivery at SBBI is arranged with the FBO, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the type: door height, galley layout, how much fits in the ovens and drawers.

About the airportSBBI / BFH

General aviation and airport catering at Bacacheri Airport (BFH)

Bacacheri is Curitiba's general aviation airport, sitting at over 3,000 feet in the Paraná highlands. Airport catering here serves corporate and private traffic, and the field's cool climate shapes what travels well. General aviation is the daily business, and the FBO services and ground handling services on site are what the crew deals with.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at Bacacheri are shaped by the field's calm. Aviation catering and business aviation catering here serve corporate and charter traffic alike, executive jet catering covers small cabins, diplomatic flight catering supports official trips, and cabin crew meals are packed for the team. As a business aviation hub for Paraná, Curitiba rewards a menu that suits the weather.

Customs & food import

Customs in Brazil focuses on animal products and fresh produce entering from outside, and a general aviation stop at SBBI is no exception. The practical consequence is simple: order locally, avoid carrying leftovers across the border, and keep the galley clean for the next sector.

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“The 6 passenger portions of poached fish with steamed rice were the easy part; managing a tight boarding window at SBBI took more planning. I wanted clear identification on the snack boxes; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. I found the breakfast portions without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Timing and organisation mattered at BFH, where our order of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 4 people involved two separate meal services. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements. The breakfast portions from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the snack boxes stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Good preparation made the difference at Bacacheri Airport, where 6 guests expected a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables despite a small galley worktop. Our brief for aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the snack boxes could be arranged during service. Keeping the salads aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Asked before every SBBI slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight stopping at Curitiba, and do Brazilian food-import rules change it?+

Brazil's customs treat meat, cheese and fresh produce brought from outside with caution, and that shapes what private jet catering at Bacacheri costs: you pay for local ingredients, not for dishes that might be seized. Price follows the dishes you pick, so a simple platter sits well below a three-course plated menu.

What lead time should I give for the return leg from Curitiba?+

Return legs are easier than first legs, because we already know your aircraft and your galley. Send the tail, the departure slot and any changes in headcount, and we plan the way back from SBBI. Last-minute orders are handled, and a menu agreed on the inbound leg can simply be repeated.

What do customs require for catering on a short repositioning flight out of Curitiba with an empty cabin?+

A repositioning leg changes the order, not the rules. You may need nothing but crew meals, and customs does not need to hear about anything coming from outside Brazil because it is all bought locally. We keep the paperwork light: tail, slot, covers.

Can you bring food on board for a delegation or government flight into Bacacheri?+

A delegation arrives with its own tastes and its own security needs, and Brazil's food-import controls can interfere with both. We recommend local catering at Bacacheri: traceable, labelled, cleared in advance by the protocol office, and handed over through your handling agent.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Curitiba, and does the departure slot change how it is ordered?+

No: catering sits outside the contract and is ordered with us directly. For a short stop at Curitiba, we plan a menu that suits the turnaround, and a longer ground time allows hot dishes and a proper re-plating.
