Catering to your aircraft in Itaituba.
The Amazon heat decides how food travels from Itaituba. At ITB we keep platters chilled and finish hot dishes in the aircraft oven, packed by former VIP flight attendants for the galley you have.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Pará is Amazon country, and a private jet menu for Itaituba should taste of it. The Tapajós gives tambaqui and pirarucu, cooked as steaks or served as a light moqueca, and the forest gives açaí, cupuaçu and tucumã. We build the inflight menu from these local specialities, thinking about how each travels in a small galley. Private jet food from this region leans on fish, manioc and fruit, so private jet platters of grilled tambaqui with farofa, gourmet inflight meals such as pirarucu with tucupi, and private jet snacks of tapioca and Brazil nut keep the character of Pará at altitude.
Itaituba is a river and gold-trade town in Pará, and local specialities reflect the Tapajós rather than the coast. For a private jet menu we use tambaqui ribs, pirarucu, manioc flour, tucupi and jambu, plus fruit like cupuaçu and açaí. The inflight menu keeps these dishes simple to plate, because Pará ingredients are strong on their own. Private jet platters carry the cold fish and fruit, gourmet inflight meals finish in the oven, and private jet snacks such as castanha and tapioca rest in the drawer. All of it is private jet food written for a Pará departure.

Itaituba's runway serves a river economy, and the aircraft that land at SBIH are mostly light jets and turboprops with small galleys. Private jet catering here is built around that: compact trays, fish from the Tapajós, and food that holds up in the Amazon heat. Inflight catering and aviation catering for ITB run to the same standard as any large airport, with business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all written to the aircraft's galley. Cabin crew meals are packed separately from guest trays.
Business jet catering at Itaituba usually serves executives flying out of the Tapajós gold and logistics trade. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here mean a compact brief for a small galley, and charter flight catering follows the same method. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu with luxury inflight catering touches such as pirarucu or tambaqui, adjusted to the type and the seat plan.
Official flights into SBIH are rare but possible, and we prepare for them. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are written with protocol first, then the kitchen. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering use a small, named team and no public mention of the passengers.
Special meals at Itaituba start with the local kitchen: fish, manioc and fruit are naturally gluten free, but tucupi, farofa and fried items can hide gluten and shellfish traces, so we check each one. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are sealed and marked by seat number, and kids meals are simple rice, chicken and fruit.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
A crew waiting at SBIH on duty time needs real food. We supply crew meals and flight crew meals on request, billed as part of the order. Pilot meals, crew catering and cockpit meals are boxed apart from the passengers, crew meal boxes are labelled by role, and different meals for pilots are available.
FBO catering at Itaituba is handed over at the aircraft through the general aviation terminal. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, so ground handling catering reaches the apron on your slot. Handling agent catering here depends on airside access, which we confirm with them.
Aircraft that use SBIH are mostly light jets and turboprops, so galley catering rarely needs a high loader; trays go up by hand through the door. For a larger aircraft on a charter into Itaituba, airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are planned with the handling agent beforehand, including cooler boxes for the Pará heat.

SBIH sits in Brazil's Amazon interior and handles regional and general aviation traffic. Airport catering here has to be flexible, because schedules follow weather and river-region business, and ground handling services at the field are small and personal, so we agree the handover with them before anything is cooked.
Business aviation at Itaituba is driven by trade and logistics along the Tapajós, and the aircraft are light jets with compact galleys. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around that galley; aviation catering and business aviation catering use Pará produce, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are written to protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed apart from the guest trays. Itaituba is no major business aviation hub, but it is a steady general aviation field, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through the FBO on the day.
Customs in Brazil treat food arriving on international flights strictly, especially animal products, so ground handling services at SBIH will ask what is on board. Local preparation keeps the order simple, and we tell you what must be declared.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Rather than an elaborate service at Itaituba Airport, our 2 guests wanted a breakfast basket with individual preserves, organised sensibly around a late menu amendment. This experience of in-flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure. I needed the main courses checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the starters against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“For 2 passengers departing from SBIH, the agreed menu was a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides; our main consideration was a family lunch request. With vip inflight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the crew provisions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
“Clear quantities were essential at ITB: we had 12 passengers expecting prawn salad and small fruit plates and were working around a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the starters before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the breakfast portions to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. With private jet catering, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
Pará's seasons matter here: when the Tapajós is high, fish and fruit are easier to source and prices shift. A private jet catering order for SBIH is quoted per menu, not per tray, once we know the dishes.
Itaituba is a small field, so access through the handling agent is the one thing to settle. After that the order moves, including last-minute orders.
Customs rules in Brazil apply to what an aircraft brings in. Catering from Itaituba is local, and a new headcount just means a new tray count.
Bringing your own food is possible, though a crew on duty and waiting at ITB eats better with a packed meal. Customs in Brazil may stop certain items.
Catering stands apart from the charter. Itaituba orders are quoted and invoiced separately, and Brazilian customs rules on food shape the menu.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
