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

Local specialities from Criciúma for your inflight catering

Criciúma and the wider Santa Catarina region eat like southern Brazil with an Italian accent, and a private jet menu built here should show it. The inflight menu can open with a chilled starter and move to a main that finishes in your oven, because private jet food that travels well is mostly a question of what survives a cabin drawer. Local specialities worth putting on a plate: pinhão in season from the highlands, fresh Santa Catarina seafood from the coast, and the polenta, risotto and grilled meats that families in this part of Santa Catarina grew up on.

We build private jet platters from these local specialities, add gourmet inflight meals for the main service, and pack private jet snacks for the legs when nobody wants a full plate. In Santa Catarina the best guest comment is usually about something small and regional: a cheese, a sausage, a jar of honey. Tell us your passengers' tastes and we will pick from what is actually good in Criciúma that week.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport (SSIM)

Criciúma sits in the southern tip of Santa Catarina, a ceramics and coal-mining region where Italian immigrant cooking still sets the table, and SSIM at 92 ft handles the executive flights that serve it. Private jet catering here means polenta, radicchio and local cheeses packed to survive a galley with no real kitchen. We write the order like cabin crew would: inflight catering by seat, in-flight catering by course, and aviation catering that respects your oven. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same discipline, and cabin crew meals ride in the same box with the CREW label.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Criciúma for business and VIP flights (CCM)

A typical brief out of SSIM is a corporate flight carrying a handful of executives from the Santa Catarina ceramics and industrial belt. Business jet catering here leans simple and regional: corporate jet catering with a private jet chef, a bespoke menu built around the galley you actually have, VIP flight catering for the guests and charter flight catering for the crew. Luxury inflight catering at Criciúma is often a cheese board and one good hot main.

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport (SSIM)

When a state delegation arrives at SSIM, the order is handled by a small named team. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: nothing is cooked before the menu is approved, and nothing leaves the boxes until the aircraft door is open.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport (SSIM)

Dietary requests in Criciúma are handled as a procedure, not a promise: special meals are written to the seat, with kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free versions cooked in a separate section of the kitchen. The Italian-influenced local table makes allergen free service worth a closer look, since wheat, dairy and nuts hide in sauces and baked goods; we mark every dish by seat and restriction. Kids meals are simple, small and easy to re-plate.

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport (CCM)

Delivery at SSIM goes to the FBO or the general aviation terminal, whichever your handling agent confirms. FBO catering and ground handling catering are coordinated so the box arrives where the crew expects it; catering delivery to the aircraft is handled with your handling agent catering contact.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport

At SSIM the aircraft type sets how the boxes are loaded. For a light or midsize jet, the galley catering is carried to the door and stowed by hand; for a larger cabin, we confirm the sill height and whether a high loader is needed before the slot. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is packed in labelled boxes so your crew can stow it without opening every lid.

About the airportSSIM / CCM

About Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport (CCM): airport catering for business aviation

SSIM sits in the south of Brazil's Santa Catarina state, with the quiet rhythm of a regional field. The traffic is mostly business and charter, and the airport catering here is about doing small orders well, with FBO services and ground handling services that turn a short stop into a clean handover. Criciúma is a modest business aviation hub, and that suits crews who prefer an apron without a queue.

Business aviation

Santa Catarina is an industrial state, and CCM serves business traffic more than leisure, a small business aviation hub for the ceramics and coal belt. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders are mostly for corporate flights; business aviation catering and executive jet catering are written per aircraft, diplomatic flight catering when a delegation visits, and cabin crew meals for every crew. FBO services and ground handling services stay simple here, and this is a quiet general aviation airport where crew meals are easy to coordinate.

Customs & food import

International arrivals at Criciúma follow Brazilian customs rules on food. Declare what you carry, expect restrictions on animal products and fresh fruit, and let us cook locally for the leg out. Your FBO services and ground handling services contact can confirm what the inspector expects on the day, and a business aviation hub this small keeps the clearance conversation short.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Timing and organisation mattered at Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport, where our order of grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 9 people involved two separate meal services. My main takeaway from this private aviation catering order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence. I asked The Galley Girls to review the sandwiches quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the starters before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Maya E. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★☆LARGE CABIN

“Keeping the galley organised at SSIM meant planning yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 7 guests with two separate meal services in mind. The Galley Girls suggested shallow trays for the breakfast portions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. We placed the starters in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. With business jet catering, careful attention to final order confirmation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Alejandro Z. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“As the person coordinating roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 6 passengers at CCM, I needed an arrangement that considered a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the sandwiches readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the crew provisions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. With business aviation catering, careful attention to crew briefing matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Questions crews ask about CriciúmaAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Forquilhinha - Criciúma when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

If your passenger count shifts late, tell us the new number and we reprice by dish. A platter of cured meats and local cheeses covers a sudden extra guest cheaply, while an extra plated main costs what a plated main costs. Nothing is rebuilt from scratch; we adjust quantities for the Criciúma slot.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at SSIM when crew duty time and waiting on the ground are tight?+

Crew duty limits shape the order more than the clock does. For CCM, tell us when the crew rests and when the cabin must be ready, and we build the lead time around that: seasonal produce, an uncomplicated customs path, a galley with one oven.

What should I know about customs for inflight catering into Brazil at Criciúma?+

Forquilhinha - Criciúma has a quiet clearance path, but the food-import rules are the same as everywhere in Brazil. Unopened packaged items are usually easier than fresh; leftovers from abroad may need to be disposed of. We will tell you what to leave behind.

Can you bring food on board at Forquilhinha - Criciúma, or order a return leg from here for the way back?+

Ordering the return leg from SSIM is the practical option. Tell us the departure airport and the headcount, and we label it by seat. Food brought in from elsewhere is a question for customs; food ordered here is ours to clear.

Is catering part of a charter flying a short repositioning leg into Criciúma with an empty cabin?+

Catering is ordered and invoiced separately from a charter. When you reposition empty into SSIM, we recommend a light crew meal and nothing else, then a full service on the loaded leg out of Criciúma.
