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 Rio de Janeiro for jet catering at SBAF

Rio de Janeiro eats from the Atlantic and from the Minas hinterland, and a private jet menu built here borrows from both. The inflight menu can open with a moqueca capixaba style fish stew kept sauce apart, a feijoada reduced into a re-platable pot, or pão de queijo straight from the oven. Private jet food that travels well from this coast leans on grilled fish, hearts of palm, tropical fruit and tapioca crepes. Local specialities such as açaí, cassava and passion fruit work as private jet snacks, and the same dishes read as gourmet inflight meals once they are plated in the galley. Rio de Janeiro produce changes with the rains, so a private jet platters order is confirmed by what the market has that week.

A private jet menu for Rio de Janeiro starts with produce rather than a fixed list: mango, papaya, passion fruit, palm hearts and fresh river and sea fish. The inflight menu keeps proteins simple, grilled or braised, with farofa and rice packed apart so nothing steams in the drawer. Private jet food from here carries Brazilian character without needing a chef on board: coxinha, brigadeiro, pão de queijo and tapioca are local specialities that survive a cabin. Private jet platters of fruit and cheese, private jet snacks and gourmet inflight meals are all built around Rio de Janeiro ingredients and the weather of the day.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport (SBAF)

Heat and humidity shape every order at SBAF, the Rio de Janeiro airfield also known as Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport. Private jet catering is built around what holds in a tropical afternoon: chilled plates, sauces apart, fruit cut late. We write the order as aviation catering for business aviation catering clients, inflight catering for the cabin, in-flight catering for long legs, executive jet catering for owner flights, diplomatic flight catering for state movements, and cabin crew meals for the team in the back.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Rio de Janeiro (SBAF)

A corporate jet landing at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos usually carries four to eight passengers and a galley with one oven. Corporate jet catering, business jet catering and VIP flight catering are built for that galley, with inflight catering and in-flight catering planned around a rainy afternoon. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same logic, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu rather than a standard list.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Rio de Janeiro (SBAF)

For an official movement through Rio de Janeiro, the menu is approved by protocol first. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share the same discipline: sealed trays, no names on labels, one point of contact.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport (SBAF)

At SBAF the allergen question usually hides in cassava flour, peanuts in farofa and shellfish stock in the stews, so special meals are cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate box. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders are agreed with the catering team against the Brazilian ingredients in use, and kids meals get their own labelled box. Each tray carries a seat number rather than a name, and nothing is opened by mistake in the cabin.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport (SBAF)

What the cabin of your jet allows decides how the order moves from the FBO to the door at SBAF. A light or midsize aircraft takes galley catering through the door by hand, tray by tray; a larger cabin may call for a high loader, which is arranged through your handling agent as airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning. Send us the type and a note on the oven, drawers and chiller you actually have, and we pack to that.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“With two separate meal services to consider at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport, we needed a practical way to serve fresh fruit and breakfast pastries to 4 passengers. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience. After a final adjustment to the salads, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The desserts remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Before our guests boarded at SBAF, we needed herb chicken with a quinoa salad divided into 11 portions suitable for a family lunch request. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the starters and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the desserts were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. I would discuss flight catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination.”

Lea N. | FBO operator

Falcon 8X

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Small packing details became important at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport: our 10 passengers wanted poached fish with steamed rice, and we had a tight boarding window. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the main courses into stackable containers that were easy to handle. I could hand the canapés to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. Our brief for flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for written menu details.”

Ordering for SBAF, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a departure from Rio de Janeiro?+

Think of the Rio rainy season and the sunny months as two different markets. Mango in peak season is cheap and abundant, while a prawn dish after a rough sea week costs more. How much does private jet catering cost here? We answer with a written quote built on your menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at SBAF?+

The question at Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos is rarely the kitchen, it is the gate pass. Your handling agent controls airside access and we work to that. A last-minute order is still handled, and you reach us 24/7 by phone or email.

What about customs when ordering catering for Rio de Janeiro?+

Customs here rewards simplicity: Brazilian produce sourced in Brazil avoids most of the questions. If the passenger count moves, we adjust and tell you the new cover count, and your agent handles the declaration.

Can you bring food to an aircraft at SBAF yourself?+

You can, within customs rules, but long waits on the ground and tight duty time argue for a meal delivered to the aircraft. Crew meal boxes are on request, labelled CREW, and billed like any other line.

Is catering part of a charter into Rio de Janeiro?+

No, and Brazil's food-import rules explain why it matters. The private jet charter contract covers the flight; catering is ordered and invoiced separately, and sourcing locally keeps customs simple.
