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 Juiz de Fora for jet catering at JDF

Minas Gerais has one of the most recognisable tables in Brazil, and a private jet menu for Juiz de Fora draws on it directly. Our inflight menu pairs pão de queijo, queijo minas curado, doce de leite and feijão tropeiro with the cold plates a galley can actually serve.

Private jet food from Minas Gerais travels well when you plan it: the cheese is sliced and kept chilled, the tropeiro beans go to the oven in a sealed tray, and the sweets stay as the last course. Private jet platters built from these local specialities give the cabin something that belongs to Juiz de Fora rather than to any airport. Gourmet inflight meals follow the same logic, and private jet snacks such as small cheese breads and goiabada with fresh cheese suit short legs.

Whatever you pick from the local specialities, we label it by seat and tell you which part goes to the oven, which stays chilled and which is re-plated cold.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Francisco de Assis Airport (SBJF)

Francisco de Assis Airport sits at 2,989 ft in the hills of Minas Gerais, and a rotation into Juiz de Fora is usually a short business leg that fills the galley with local cheese before it fills it with anything else. We build private jet catering for that galley, a plain brief for an inflight catering order where the aircraft is light on seats and heavy on the Mineiro table. In-flight catering here is written for the flight attendant who has one oven and one drawer. Aviation catering for SBJF stays simple: you tell us the tail, the slot and the headcount, and we hand over at the FBO. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and business aviation catering all follow the same route into this field, and cabin crew meals are ordered with them.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Francisco de Assis Airport (JDF)

Business jet catering at Juiz de Fora is mostly a corporate rotation: two to six passengers on a Minas Gerais trip, with a galley that has little space. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering at SBJF start from the headcount and the type, and charter flight catering follows the same brief. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around the local table, from queijo minas to tropeiro beans.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Francisco de Assis Airport

Dietary requests at Juiz de Fora run into the Minas Gerais kitchen quickly: cheese, wheat flour and pork appear in nearly every traditional dish. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders are handled as a procedure, with separate preparation and sealed trays labelled by seat, and special meals are marked by restriction so the flight attendant can serve them without checking. Kids meals are available in simple versions, and cheese bread can be replaced with a gluten free version on request.

Pilot meals and crew meals at Francisco de Assis Airport (JDF)

A long wait at SBJF changes what the crew needs. Crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed on request and handed over at the FBO, with crew meal boxes marked CREW so nobody opens a guest tray. Crew catering for cockpit meals can mean different meals for pilots, separate for captain and first officer, and cabin crew meals are handled the same way.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Francisco de Assis Airport (SBJF)

FBO catering at Francisco de Assis is a handover: we deliver to the FBO, your handling agent opens the airside door, and the trays go to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO and the general aviation terminal is coordinated with ground handling catering and handling agent catering in one call.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

The type decides the loading. At Francisco de Assis a light business jet takes galley catering through the cabin door, while a larger aircraft may need airside catering delivery with a high loader arranged through the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at SBJF follows the galley you actually have: tell us the type and we pack the trays to fit its ovens and drawers.

About the airportSBJF / JDF

About Francisco de Assis Airport (JDF): airport catering for business aviation

Francisco de Assis is a regional field serving Juiz de Fora in Minas Gerais, and airport catering here is built for general aviation: small jets, corporate crews and the occasional delegation. FBO services and ground handling services keep the apron workable for business traffic, which is why the field works as a modest business aviation hub for the Zona da Mata.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at Francisco de Assis follow the pattern of a small business aviation hub: executive jet catering for corporate rotations, diplomatic flight catering when a delegation visits, and cabin crew meals ordered with the flight. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are written for the galley you actually have, and crew meals ride along on request.

Customs & food import

Brazil controls the import of meat, dairy and fresh produce through its agricultural and customs authorities, and the rules apply to international arrivals at this business aviation hub. Food prepared locally and served from the galley is not an import, so ordering here removes the declaration step.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Nothing about the 3 guest order at SBJF called for excess complexity: just roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and sensible planning for a late menu amendment. I asked The Galley Girls to review the snack boxes quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about written menu details. There was enough information about the sandwiches to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

Ahmed R. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“An order of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 11 people at JDF had to be organised around a family lunch request. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet catering menu was how they handled galley preparation. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the snack boxes had been grouped. The fruit plates went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Menu approval at Francisco de Assis Airport covered a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 7 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a changing departure schedule. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the private aviation catering arrangements. I wanted clear identification on the sandwiches; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Ordering for SBJF, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Francisco de Assis?+

Costs come from the dishes. A season with fresh goiaba and good cheese makes a simple platter inexpensive, while a hot Mineiro dinner for six costs more. Departures at Francisco de Assis can move when the weather does, so we quote for the menu and adjust only if you change it.

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

Lead time is shaped by airside access more than by the kitchen. At Francisco de Assis we work with your handling agent on the day, and last-minute requests are treated like any other order.

What are the customs rules for catering at Juiz de Fora?+

Customs at Francisco de Assis matters mainly on international arrivals, and a passenger count that changes at the last minute can change what has to be declared. Locally prepared Brazilian food served on a domestic leg raises no issue, while foreign meat and dairy on an arriving aircraft are another matter.

Can you bring food on board at Francisco de Assis?+

Bringing your own food is allowed for domestic legs, though foreign products on an arriving international flight fall under customs control. For crews waiting on the ground, a fresh meal handed over at the FBO usually suits duty time better.

Is catering part of a charter into Juiz de Fora?+

The charter contract covers the aircraft, not the food. Because customs in Brazil limit what comes in on arrival, ordering catering in Juiz de Fora is the cleaner route, and it is quoted and invoiced separately.
