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 Fernando de Noronha for jet catering at FEN

Pernambuco gives Fernando de Noronha its table: the island sits in the Atlantic, and its private jet menu leans on what the sea and the Northeast kitchen offer. Fresh grilled fish, lobster when it is in season, tapioca in all its forms, cassava, coconut and tropical fruit shape the inflight menu we cook for SBFN.

Private jet food here is local specialities adapted to a galley. Moqueca-style seafood stews travel with the sauce apart and finish in the oven. Cold items such as ceviche-style fish, tropical fruit boards and cheese with local honey are packed as private jet platters. Gourmet inflight meals follow the same logic: nothing that depends on a hob, everything that survives a drawer.

Private jet snacks for the island run to tapioca crisps, cashew and Brazil nut mixes, coconut bites and fruit cups. Because the passenger count at Fernando de Noronha can change late, snacks and platters scale easily while hot dishes stay portioned by seat.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Fernando de Noronha Airport (SBFN)

Most flights into FEN are leisure trips to a protected marine park, and the passenger count often changes late. Private jet catering at Fernando de Noronha is therefore built around flexibility: platters that scale, boxes that hold, dishes that finish in an oven or stay chilled. Business aviation catering at SBFN covers the cabin and the flight deck, from gourmet plates to cabin crew meals marked by seat. For heads of state and ministers on island visits, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol before anything is cooked. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and executive jet catering are all written to the aircraft you fly, handed over at the FBO.

VIP flight and private jet catering at Fernando de Noronha Airport (SBFN)

Business jet catering at Fernando de Noronha is usually a leisure trip: a few guests, a protected island, a late change of plans. Corporate jet catering and charter flight catering here are shaped by a light galley, so our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around it. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering for SBFN keep dishes simple to finish.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Fernando de Noronha (FEN)

Crew meals at SBFN are asked for on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals are packed in crew meal boxes marked by seat, so nobody opens a guest tray by mistake. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed on a jumpseat, and when the operator allows it we pack different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering on a long ground wait at Fernando de Noronha is built around that wait, not around the guests.

About the airportSBFN / FEN

About Fernando de Noronha Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Fernando de Noronha Airport, SBFN, serves an island archipelago in Pernambuco at 193 ft. Airport catering here supports general aviation arrivals, FBO services and the few ground handling services available, for a destination reached by air or sea.

Business aviation

For business aviation, FEN is a leisure destination more than a hub: a business aviation hub in function only when guests arrive for a stay. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are shaped by the season. Aviation catering and business aviation catering for SBFN are cooked for crews who know the weather decides everything, and executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are prepared with the same care. Cabin crew meals are marked by seat.

Customs & food import

Brazilian customs and food import rules apply at SBFN, and the island adds restrictions to protect its marine park. The practical consequence: cooked in Brazil, declared and handed over through your handling agent keeps the catering order simple.

★★★★☆LARGE CABIN
“Clear quantities were essential at FEN: we had 2 passengers expecting a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables and were working around limited fridge space. The order made private jet meals feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls updated the sauces in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the side dishes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

“What impressed me at Fernando de Noronha Airport was how a request for mini sandwiches and individual desserts was handled despite limited fridge space. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet menu. I wanted clear identification on the breakfast portions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I found the crew provisions without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
Margot T. | FBO operator

★★★★★CHARTER
“Menu approval at SBFN covered a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 8 guests, leaving us to organise the service around limited fridge space. The Galley Girls grouped the sauces by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The main courses were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. I want a private jet chef to understand crew briefing, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Questions crews ask about Fernando de NoronhaAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Fernando de Noronha when the menu features local lobster?+

Take lobster: on Fernando de Noronha it is a seasonal product and priced as one, whereas grilled fish with coconut rice costs far less. The final figure follows your choice of dishes, not the aircraft. A quote is agreed before the slot.

What lead time should I expect for private jet catering at FEN during rough sea and weather windows?+

A late departure should not mean a stale lunch. Because we cook to your confirmed slot, a moved departure simply moves the packing. Last-minute orders are handled, and your lead time stays simple.

How do customs work for inflight catering at SBFN through the handling agent?+

Food imported into Brazil is checked, and an island airport adds one more layer of access control. Our answer is practical: let us deliver to the FBO through your handling agent, and keep the catering local and declared.

Can you bring food on board at Fernando de Noronha if the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Guests can carry their own food, subject to Brazilian customs. For late changes in the party size, a local order is simpler, because platters adapt and we hold spare portions for the aircraft.

Is catering part of a charter into Fernando de Noronha when crew wait on the ground?+

Not part of a private jet charter: catering sits on its own invoice. For waiting days on the island, tell us the crew count and we pack cockpit and cabin crew meals for the ramp.
