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.

Lages on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at LAJ

Lages lies in the Santa Catarina highlands, a cattle and pine country where winter mornings start below freezing. A private jet menu here follows the table of the serra: churrasco cuts, fresh cheeses and pinhão in season.

The inflight menu for Lages is mostly about serra beef. Costela and fraldinha travel well cooked ahead and finished in the galley oven, with farofa and vinagrete packed apart. Private jet food from this region stays simple, and local specialities carry the page.

Pinhão arrives from April into the cold months and goes into soups, with sausage or in a warm salad. The cheese of the serra, a firm, salty queijo serrano, works as a private jet platter with quince paste and bread. For private jet snacks, a box of roasted pinhão keeps in any drawer.

Gourmet inflight meals from Santa Catarina can also include the Lages bread baskets, sweet doce de leite and hearty soups. All of it is local specialities of the region, plated and labeled for your seat plan.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Lages Airport (LAJ)

Business jet catering at Lages Airport is usually a compact brief for four to eight guests flying a midsize jet, often to or from São Paulo or Porto Alegre. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here are built around the galley you actually have. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering use the same kitchen discipline. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the serra's beef and cheese when you want something local.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Lages Airport

Special meals at Lages follow the cuisine of the serra, which leans heavily on beef, cheese and wheat. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free or allergen free meals, we plan the kitchen route first, since cheese bread and farofa carry gluten and dairy in plain sight. Kids meals are simple, like rice, beans and chicken, and each special meal is sealed and marked by seat number.

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Lages (SBLJ)

Crew meals at SBLJ are an item of the order, never an extra we hand out. Flight crew meals can be cold or warm, and pilot meals should be easy to eat on a short turn. Crew catering is packed in labeled crew meal boxes, with cockpit meals bagged apart from the passenger service. If the operator wants different meals for pilots, we plan two separate dishes.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Lages Airport

A high loader is rarely a question at Lages Airport: this is a regional business aviation field, and the aircraft using it are mostly turboprops, light and midsize jets. Galley catering follows the aircraft's door and galley layout, so tell us the type and we plan the carts and boxes to match. Airside catering delivery runs with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning for larger types is arranged on request.

About the airportSBLJ / LAJ

General aviation and airport catering at Lages Airport (LAJ)

Lages Airport is a regional field on the Santa Catarina plateau, used for general aviation and business flights, with a quiet apron and a single general aviation terminal. Airport catering here is arranged through the FBO and your handling agent, and the FBO services on the field cover access, parking and the handover at the aircraft. Ground handling services are straightforward, which makes SBLJ a modest business aviation hub for the serra.

Business aviation

The rhythm at Lages follows the seasons: frost and pinhão in winter, wine-route and ranch visitors in summer. FBO services at SBLJ are simple and personal, so inflight catering is planned around the slot you were given. In-flight catering and aviation catering requests are taken 24/7, and business aviation catering adapts to turboprop and jet galleys alike. Executive jet catering for ranch trips, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals follow the same plan, with crew meals added to the order on request.

Customs & food import

Brazilian customs and food-import rules decide what may leave and what may arrive, and meat and dairy are the usual sticking points. For an international leg out of SBLJ, catering is sealed and declared through your handling agent, with the FBO services on the field supporting the paperwork at the aircraft. Settle the menu before you settle the packing.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Food presentation mattered to our 8 guests, but a changing departure schedule also had to be considered when organising vegetarian wraps and colourful salads at Lages Airport. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. With in-flight catering services, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“An order of a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 9 people at SBLJ had to be organised around a tight boarding window. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the aviation catering arrangements. The Galley Girls prepared the salads for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The sauces stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Daria Q. | FBO operator

Global 7500

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Rather than an elaborate service at LAJ, our 8 guests wanted mini sandwiches and individual desserts, organised sensibly around different crew meal preferences. The order made aviation catering services feel manageable because the galley preparation had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the side dishes, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. Knowing where the sandwiches were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

Lages in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Lages?+

Start with what the galley can finish on board. At Lages Airport a small jet gets platters and snacks cooked ahead, while a bigger one can handle hot courses. Private jet catering is quoted from the aircraft type and the passenger count.

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

Slots at Lages are rarely crowded, which makes lead time simple. Whether you depart at night or at first light, we build the order around your slot and the product on the menu. Contact us by phone or email at any hour.

What are the customs rules for catering on a long leg from Lages?+

Plan customs before you choose the menu. A flight from SBLJ with a second meal service often uses cold items with a clear shelf life. Brazil allows catering on board, but the destination's rules on meat and cheese decide what you can leave on the aircraft.

Can you bring food of your own on a flight from Lages?+

Own food is allowed on board, but allergies and religious diets are better handled in advance. A child's meal can be simple, such as rice, beans and chicken, and an allergen free dish is cooked apart. Send the details and we confirm.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Lages?+

A private jet charter does not cover the food. For Lages we quote the catering separately, and a regional item like queijo serrano is priced like the rest. You tell us what to load, and we deliver to the aircraft.
