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

What São Gabriel da Cachoeira brings to your in-flight catering (SJL)

The Amazonas table is built on the river and the forest, and a private jet menu for São Gabriel da Cachoeira can use that without strain. Tambaqui, a large Amazon river fish, goes into the galley grilled or as a ribs cut, packed with the sauce in its own pot. Tucupi, the yellow manioc broth, and jambu, the leaf that numbs the lips, anchor the pato no tucupi tradition of the state; for an inflight menu we keep jambu apart so each guest decides how much to add.

Manioc turns up everywhere: farinha, tapioca crepes and beiju, all of which hold well in a drawer and suit private jet snacks. Amazon fruit such as cupuaçu, açaí and bacaba give private jet platters a local note, served chilled and re-plated cold. Private jet food from Amazonas works best when the pieces are simple, so the gourmet inflight meals we pack from these local specialities survive a long ride to a remote runway and still look right on the plate.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SBUA)

Few airports sit as deep in the Amazon as SBUA. For a crew landing at São Gabriel da Cachoeira, private jet catering means deciding before departure what the galley will carry, because aviation catering choices on the ground are limited and every item has to travel well. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are taken by phone or email at any hour, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same routine, with the same label on every box.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SBUA)

Business jet catering at São Gabriel da Cachoeira usually starts with a small party flying in for work or an expedition. Corporate jet catering here is kept simple, VIP flight catering is plated from the drawer, and charter flight catering for private jet charter trips follows the same brief. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around river fish and Amazon fruit, and luxury inflight catering is built so the cabin crew can re-plate it alone.

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SJL)

Officials do use SBUA, and a state visit aircraft catering order here is handled as quietly as anywhere. Government flight catering is approved by the delegation first; head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are packed under seal, one named contact, and handed over at the aircraft without anything left visible on the apron.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SJL)

In Amazonas the allergen to watch is the fish itself: river fish is on most local plates, along with Brazil nuts and manioc flour used as thickener. Kosher and halal requests, vegan plates, gluten free and allergen free meals, kids meals and other special meals are cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate box, marked by seat, so nothing mixes at the SBUA handover.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SJL)

On a field this far into the Amazon, a crew rarely finds a meal on the ground, so crew meals are worth ordering. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and different meals for pilots are available on request, billed with the order. Crew catering is packed in crew meal boxes, cockpit meals are eaten one-handed between tasks, and each box is labelled CREW, apart from guest trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SBUA)

The handover happens at the aircraft. We coordinate FBO catering with the handling agent at São Gabriel da Cachoeira, who opens the airside access. Ground handling catering, handling agent catering and catering delivery to the FBO are confirmed against your slot, so the general aviation terminal staff know what is coming.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SJL)

SBUA handles business aircraft on a modest apron, so the aircraft decides the loading: a turboprop or light jet takes boxes through the cabin door, while a larger type with a high galley may need a high loader arranged with the handling agent. Galley catering for this field is sized to the oven and drawers you actually have. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning at São Gabriel da Cachoeira are agreed with the FBO before the slot, never at the gate.

About the airportSBUA / SJL

Airport catering at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport (SBUA)

São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport serves one of the most remote municipalities in Brazil, on the upper Rio Negro. Airport catering here is shaped by that isolation: general aviation traffic is limited and almost everything must be planned ahead. FBO services and ground handling services are modest, so a clear order matters.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub it is not, but SBUA matters for expedition, mining and government flights. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders are simple here; business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same discipline, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are packed alike, and rainy-season weather can move a slot.

Customs & food import

Food rules depend on where you fly next. Brazil is firm on animal and plant products, and the Amazon region adds checks on fish and forest produce. We prepare packs and a contents list for the handling agent, so inspections go smoothly.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The cabin briefing at São Gabriel da Cachoeira Airport included 10 passenger meals, a request for a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables, and instructions addressing several individual meal preferences. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the main courses to be packed accordingly. This experience of aviation catering services gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure. Our colleague could take over the snack boxes without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

David F. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

Falcon 8X

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“We kept the passenger brief simple at SBUA: roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 6 guests, organised with a tight boarding window in mind. I want an aviation catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The salads supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the side dishes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

Joao Q. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Good preparation made the difference at SJL, where 11 guests expected avocado toast components and breakfast fruit despite two separate meal services. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience. The Galley Girls prepared the side dishes for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. It made a difference to have the salads ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

The São Gabriel da Cachoeira questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for an early-slot flight out of São Gabriel da Cachoeira?+

A cold lunch of tapioca, cheese and cupuaçu is a very different price from grilled tambaqui with farinha. How much private jet catering costs at São Gabriel da Cachoeira follows what you pick for the slot and who is flying.

What lead time suits a Gulfstream versus a turboprop at SBUA?+

Aircraft size shapes the order more than the date does: a small galley means fewer hot items, packed to fit the drawers. Last-minute requests to SBUA are handled, as long as we know the type.

What about customs when departing São Gabriel da Cachoeira at night?+

Customs do not change with the hour, but your options do. Overnight, fewer offices are open, so we ask for the destination and prepare food that can pass without comment.

Can you bring food on a long leg with two services from SBUA?+

Yes, crews and passengers may carry their own food, though customs rules at the destination can restrict fresh items. For two services on a long leg, we pack the first and second meals separately, so the second stays sealed until you need it.

Is catering part of a charter if one guest needs a kosher meal into São Gabriel da Cachoeira?+

No, the charter does not cover food. A special-meal request such as kosher, halal, allergen or a child's plate goes on its own catering order.
