Catering to your aircraft in Almeirim.
A 677 ft airfield in the Pará interior, Serra do Areão sees business aviation that arrives self-reliant. Our job at MEU is to make the food part simple for whoever is serving.
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.
Almeirim and the lower Amazon give a private jet menu its character: river fish, açaí, cupuaçu and Brazil nut, the tastes of Pará. For SBMD we build an inflight menu and private jet food around them, as local specialities that travel in a galley: tucupi-based sauces packed apart, fish chilled and finished on board, fruit cut per passenger. Pará is the region that decides the produce, and we order it for the day you fly.
Pará cooking is not a São Paulo menu, and Monte Dourado is a company-town strip on the Jari, not a big-city airport with a deep supplier base. Our private jet menu for Almeirim leans on what the region does well: pirarucu and tambaqui, manioc flour, cupuaçu cream, Brazil nut. That inflight menu stays honest to the local specialities, and the private jet food is packed to reach a small galley in good order. Pará produce is seasonal; we say so when we confirm.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Monte Dourado sits on the Jari river in Pará, a company-town strip where the apron is small and the nearest full provisioning is not on the field. Private jet catering for SBMD is therefore packed to leave nothing to chance: inflight catering that works with the galley you actually have, in-flight catering for the leg onward, and aviation catering that covers the crew as well as the cabin. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are handed to your FBO or handling agent, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same route.
Business jet catering at Monte Dourado is usually a brief for a small group on a corporate or charter flight: a few executives, a long lunch, a simple galley. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here lean on a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around river fish and local fruit. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering for SBMD are packed to be re-plated, not cooked, on board.
Government flight catering at Monte Dourado is rare but real: officials visiting the Jari region need a menu cleared by protocol, packed with traceability and handed over discreetly. We staff head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering with a named team, whatever the size of the aircraft.
Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are possible at SBMD, but local cooking in Pará leans on fish, manioc and sauces that can hide allergens. Special meals are cooked and packed separately, allergen free orders are sealed, and kids meals can be simple and fresh.

At a remote strip, the crew often eats last and fastest. Our crew catering for MEU is ordered on request and billed on the order. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed for the leg; crew meal boxes are marked CREW, and different meals for pilots are kept apart. Cabin crew meals are available the same way.
FBO catering at SBMD is handed over at the aircraft by your handling agent or the FBO. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering so the trays reach the aircraft on your slot. Whether you use the general aviation terminal or deal with a handling agent catering is straightforward: one contact, one handover.
Not every aircraft at Monte Dourado needs a high loader, but large cabins sometimes do. We plan galley catering and airside catering delivery by aircraft type, and aircraft provisioning is packed to match door height and galley space.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Serra do Areão sits at 677 ft in northern Brazil and handles general aviation for the Almeirim area. Airport catering at SBMD is built for the aircraft type and the slot, delivered to the apron.
Business aviation catering at Monte Dourado is practical rather than lavish. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here mean provisioning for a galley with limited kit. Aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all start with the aircraft. Cabin crew meals are ordered on request, as part of an aviation catering order, and invoiced like the rest. FBO services and ground handling services at this business aviation hub are minimal, so we plan for self-reliance.
Brazil controls the import of fresh and animal-origin food, so catering for international arrivals into MEU is best provisioned locally. Customs may inspect what leaves the aircraft; ordering inside Brazil avoids surprises and keeps the handover to the FBO simple.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“My order at SBMD covered yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 7 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of limited fridge space. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of fruit plates with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. Our brief for private jet catering was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence.”
“An order of mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 2 people at MEU had to be organised around an evening cabin service. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the starters had been grouped. The fruit plates went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet catering services.”
“Clear quantities were essential at Monte Dourado - Serra do Areão Airport: we had 2 passengers expecting roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings and were working around an evening cabin service. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the desserts into stackable containers that were easy to handle. I want a private jet catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Separating the crew provisions from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
Short empty legs into Almeirim are the cheapest kind of order to write: crew meals, a snack box, fruit. Costs rise with fish, seasonal produce from Pará or a plated cabin service. We price what you choose, line by line.
Government and delegation flights add steps: protocol sign-off, traceability, named staff. Lead time at Monte Dourado is mostly that, and last-minute orders are handled when a visit changes. We coordinate with your handling agent from the first email.
On a quick turn, the risk is food being held up, not the menu. Brazilian customs scrutinise fresh and animal products arriving from abroad; ordering locally for Monte Dourado means nothing has to clear before the slot.
The aircraft type is the first question. A turboprop galley takes a cold lunch; a large-cabin jet handles hot courses. Bring food if you like, though catering from Pará is packed to match your galley.
The private jet charter covers the flight. Catering does not come with it; you order and pay for it as its own line. Night and early morning departures from SBMD are routine to arrange, on request, day or night.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
