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 Lençóis

The Bahia plateau around Lençóis has its own table, and a private jet menu here should read like it. Local specialities travel well when you choose them for the galley: moqueca baiana, built on coconut milk and dendê oil, is cooked and packed with the sauce in its own pot, rice apart. Acarajé is a fried dish that does not like a long wait, so on an inflight menu it is better as a bolinho de peixe or a vatapá served warm from the oven. Carne de sol with aipim, the sun-dried beef of the Bahian interior, is a natural for private jet food on a Chapada Diamantina charter. Cold, the region gives you tropical fruit, queijo coalho and tapioca crepes that work as private jet snacks. Bahia is the region, Lençóis the airfield, and every dish is packed for the galley you actually have.

A private jet menu for Lençóis starts from Bahia rather than from a generic list. The inflight menu leans on what the Chapada Diamantina kitchens do well: carne de sol cut thin, aipim fried or mashed, farofa packed separately so it stays dry. Moqueca is the dish guests ask for, and it travels when the sauce comes in its own pot and the fish is portioned for re-plating. For private jet food at altitude and in a small cabin, we keep strong dendê notes measured, since a closed cabin holds smell. Cold plates use cashew, cupuaçu, mango and queijo coalho. These are the local specialities of Bahia, written into the menu for Lençóis.

Lençóis sits at 1,676 ft on the Bahia plateau, gateway to the Chapada Diamantina, and private jet catering at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport (SBLE / LEC) is packed with a small galley and a short ramp in mind. Inflight catering and aviation catering for business aviation catering flights; executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same brief.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport (LEC)

Lençóis is a leisure and expedition destination more than a hub, so corporate jet catering at SBLE is usually written for a small party. Business jet catering here means a short brief and a galley that decides everything: our private jet chef builds a bespoke menu with few hot dishes and a stronger cold course. Charter flight catering and VIP flight catering follow the same rule, quality over quantity, and luxury inflight catering shows up in the plating, not the volume. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders for the Chapada Diamantina are packed to be finished by hand.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport

Government flight catering at SBLE is uncommon, which is why it is run with extra discipline: protocol clears the menu before anything is cooked, one named team packs it, every box is traceable. For head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering, sealed packaging and a single contact at the handling agent matter more than volume. State visit aircraft catering into Lençóis follows the same line, handed over at the aircraft and nowhere else. It is aviation catering where discretion is part of the order.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport (LEC)

On request, we pack crew meals for the people flying into Lençóis: flight crew meals sized for a long wait on the ramp, pilot meals that need no plate, and crew catering that stays apart from the passengers' trays. Cockpit meals are boxed so each pilot gets a different dish, matching the idea of different meals for pilots. Crew meal boxes carry a label, and cabin crew meals are billed with the order like everything else.

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport (SBLE)

FBO catering at SBLE is delivered to the aircraft through your handling agent. For catering delivery to the FBO, give us the tail and the slot, and we coordinate ground handling catering with the general aviation terminal. Handling agent catering means one contact for access to the ramp, and we hand the order over where the aircraft stands.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport (SBLE)

Galley catering for aircraft at Lençóis is almost always light-aircraft work, done by hand through a small door. Airside catering delivery means walking the order to the aircraft with the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning for a larger type is possible, and the aircraft type decides whether a high loader is needed.

About the airportSBLE / LEC

Aviation catering and business aviation at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport (LEC)

Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport serves Lençóis, the town at the edge of the Chapada Diamantina in Bahia. It is a small business aviation hub in character if not in size: a modest apron, a short list of ground handling services and mostly light aircraft. Airport catering here is built for general aviation, with orders handed over plane-side through the handling agent.

Business aviation

The Chapada Diamantina drives the traffic at Lençóis, so business aviation catering and inflight catering are shaped by expeditions and weekend stays. Executive jet catering is the usual brief, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with it. Aviation catering, in-flight catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow one plain process, with general aviation and FBO services keeping the rhythm slow. Ground handling services are limited, so the FBO contact matters, and the field works as a quiet business aviation hub for the plateau.

Customs & food import

Brazilian customs and sanitary rules apply to food: animal and plant products arriving from abroad are inspected and may be refused. Catering produced in Brazil for a departure from Lençóis avoids that problem. Your ground handling services provider confirms what must be declared, and the order is built around what clears easily at this business aviation hub.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Working around different crew meal preferences at LEC, I asked for smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit in portions appropriate for our 3 passengers. The order made flight catering services feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand. After a final adjustment to the snack boxes, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the breakfast portions quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Breakfast was already sorted; at Coronel Horácio de Mattos Airport, the next request was beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 11 guests, with limited fridge space to work around. The starters supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The side dishes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. With airline catering, careful attention to storage requirements matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Keeping the galley organised at SBLE meant planning mushroom risotto and a green salad for 4 guests with a changing departure schedule in mind. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The cabin team could match the side dishes to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. My main takeaway from this crew meals order was the practical approach to written menu details.”

What crews ask before LençóisAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a light jet into Lençóis?+

Cost depends on what the galley can finish. For SBLE, where the aircraft tend to be small, we usually suggest fewer hot dishes done well rather than many done badly. That choice changes the invoice more than the airport does. How much private jet catering costs for your flight is written out line by line once we have the type and headcount.

What is the lead time for a night departure or an early slot at Lençóis?+

Departures from Lençóis tend to cluster around the day trips to the Chapada Diamantina, so early morning slots are common. A short brief is all the order needs: tail, slot, headcount, any dietary line. Lead time then follows the menu, and an order added at the last moment is still taken.

Do customs apply to catering on a long leg with two services on board?+

For a flight leaving Lençóis, local catering is not an import and raises no customs question. It is food arriving from outside Brazil that gets inspected, especially meat, cheese and fruit. Plan both services from Bahia ingredients, and ask your FBO about anything you want to bring.

Can you bring food for a kosher, halal, allergen or child meal at Lençóis?+

Yes: a sealed meal brought to the aircraft is accepted for special diets, and we handle it like our own, labelled and kept apart. Where a dish can be cooked here, we do it with a separate board and a procedure rather than a promise. Child and allergen meals get their own box.

Is catering part of a charter into Lençóis when we want a local product on the menu?+

Charter contracts rarely cover meals, and Lençóis is no exception. Anything local you want on board, from carne de sol to goiabada with cheese, is ordered from us and invoiced on its own, apart from the aircraft.
