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

The Caldas Novas table, packed for private jet catering

Caldas Novas sits in southern Goiás, and the private jet menu for SBCN leans on what the interior of Brazil actually grows and cooks. Our inflight menu starts with pão de queijo, baked fresh and re-plated warm, then moves to pequi rice, a Goiás signature that we pack with the sauce apart. Private jet food from this region is generous and unfussy: arroz com frango, empadão goiano, galinhada, and fruit from the cerrado such as cajuzinho and buriti. These local specialities travel well in a galley when chilled items stay chilled and hot items go in the oven. For gourmet inflight meals we build private jet platters of cheeses, cured meats and tropical fruit, plus private jet snacks such as cassava chips, castanhas and doce de leite. {Region} in this case means Goiás, and Caldas Novas guests expect it on the tray.

Goiás cooking is the reference point for any private jet menu out of Caldas Novas. The inflight menu we write for CLV mixes cerrado ingredients with what a cabin can serve cleanly: empadão goiano that goes in the oven, pamonha served cold or re-plated, and pequi rice with the sauce apart. That is private jet food with a sense of place, and the local specialities of Goiás give each tray something a generic kitchen cannot copy. For hot-springs weekends, gourmet inflight meals lean light: grilled fish, salads, tropical fruit. Private jet platters carry queijo minas, linguiça and fresh fruit, and private jet snacks cover pão de queijo, cassava chips and brigadeiro. Caldas Novas, in Goiás, shapes the whole list.

Caldas Novas fills up on holiday weekends, when business jets and turboprops bring families to the thermal resorts of southern Goiás, and Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães sits at 2,307 ft on that rhythm. Private jet catering here means a galley brief built around pão de queijo, pequi and a short, light-aircraft-friendly menu. The same team also covers inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for the crews who work the field. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for CLV are written by former VIP flight attendants. We also handle diplomatic flight catering on request and cabin crew meals for the ones who actually carry the trays.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at CLV is usually a modest brief: a few passengers heading for the thermal resorts, a light or midsize aircraft, and a galley that may have only a small oven. Corporate jet catering here favours short menus, such as grilled fish and a fruit plate. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the type, and luxury inflight catering means trays that are easy to re-plate in a small galley.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport

Government flight catering at SBCN is mostly a matter of protocol. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering need cleared menus, names kept off labels and a named team. State visit aircraft catering into Caldas Novas is prepared with the traceability that official movements require, handed over discreetly at the aircraft through your handling agent.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport

Caldas Novas guests bring every kind of restriction, and Goiás cooking hides allergens in places a visitor does not expect: cheese in the bread, peanut in sauces, pequi cooked with oil that is shared. We work the local menu as a procedure. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each cooked on a separate board and sealed in their own box, marked by seat and restriction so the flight attendant never has to guess. Special meals are confirmed with the order, not at the apron.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Caldas Novas (CLV)

At CLV, crew catering is something you ask for, and it is billed like any other order. We pack flight crew meals into crew meal boxes, labelled CREW, with pilot meals and cockpit meals easy to eat between tasks. When the operator wants it, we prepare different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew meals at Caldas Novas travel separately from passenger trays.

FBO catering at Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport (CLV): delivery to your aircraft

At Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães, FBO catering is handed over where the aircraft stops, either at the general aviation terminal or on the apron. We organise catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows your slot. Handling agent catering at Caldas Novas is a short chain: you, the agent, the aircraft.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport (CLV)

At SBCN the aircraft on the apron tend to be light and mid-size, so galley catering is usually loaded by hand through the main door. When a larger type comes in for a hot-springs weekend, the airside catering delivery changes: aircraft provisioning may need a high loader, and your handling agent arranges that on the field. Tell us the type and we plan the carts, the boxes and the order of loading around its galley.

About the airportSBCN / CLV

General aviation and airport catering at Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport (CLV)

Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães sits at 2,307 ft in southern Goiás and serves Caldas Novas, one of Brazil's best-known hot-springs destinations. Airport catering for private flights follows a simple pattern here: a general aviation field, a quiet terminal and ground handling services that meet the aircraft on the apron.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at CLV follow the seasons: holiday weekends are busy, midweek is quiet. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are sized to the aircraft that actually land, from turboprops to mid-size jets, and executive jet catering stays short and light. Diplomatic flight catering is arranged on request, as are cabin crew meals and other crew meals for the people working the cabin. General aviation traffic, FBO services and the ground handling services behind them keep this field a modest business aviation hub.

Customs & food import

Brazil applies strict customs rules to food entering the country, especially animal and plant products. For catering at SBCN we cook and pack in Brazil, so nothing is imported, and your ground handling services agent can confirm the current customs position for your flight.

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“My order at CLV covered beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 8 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a revised passenger count. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of breakfast portions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the sauces before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
Alessia D. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER
“On this departure from Nelson Ribeiro Guimarães Airport, 7 passengers had chosen avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and limited fridge space needed to be reflected in the order. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the salads had been grouped. Knowing where the side dishes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover.”
Noor X. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★LIGHT JET
“Choosing a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 4 people at SBCN was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the side dishes into shallow trays that were easy to handle. We placed the crew provisions in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. With flight catering services, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Caldas Novas in five questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight into Caldas Novas?+

Start from who is flying. An empty-cabin repositioning to CLV is a handful of crew meals and drinks. A guest flight with local dishes costs more, and a full seated menu more again. Seasonal items such as cerrado fruit move the price as well. Every order is quoted before the slot, and invoiced like any other.

What lead time do you need for a delegation or government flight at SBCN?+

Short-notice requests are accepted, and that includes delegation flights. What makes a state or official trip easier at Caldas Novas is a clear passenger count, dietary notes, and a named contact at the FBO. Send the lead time you have and we adapt the menu to it.

What do customs mean for catering when the turnaround at Caldas Novas is tight?+

A tight turn means no room for a delayed box. At SBCN we avoid the problem by preparing everything in Brazil, so there is no import to clear and no customs hold on food. We time the handover to your slot, and the trays are labelled for the cabin crew.

Can you bring food from home to Caldas Novas, given the aircraft type and galley?+

Carrying food from home is possible for sealed, non-perishable items, but fresh food runs into Brazilian customs rules. At CLV, aircraft vary from small props to larger jets, and the galley size changes what can be re-plated. That is why we ask for the type before we write the menu.

Is catering part of a charter departing Caldas Novas at night or in an early slot?+

Charter contracts do not bundle food. If you leave SBCN late at night or at dawn, the catering is its own order, handed over at the aircraft when your slot comes up. Give us the passenger count and any restrictions, and the rest follows.
