Private jet catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR / GRU), São Paulo

Catering to your aircraft in São Paulo.

Guarulhos is Brazil's busiest field, and the business aviation apron sits behind the same airside rules as the airliners. We cook for your galley and hand over at the FBO, with pão de queijo that stays in its box until you reach for the oven.

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 São Paulo table, packed for private jet catering

The São Paulo private jet menu is built around what the city eats at lunch: feijoada on Saturdays, pão de queijo from the oven, coxinha, pastel and picanha cut thin. Our inflight menu keeps them recognisable and travelling well, because a feijoada that has been sealed in its tin at São Paulo comes out of your oven tasting like it was served in a Jardins restaurant. Private jet food from the region leans on feijão, farofa, mandioca and tropical fruit, and the local specialities that survive a long leg are the ones with a firm crumb, a sauce in its own pot and nothing that wilts. Crew meals for São Paulo crews tend to be a rice, beans and grilled protein plate, which is exactly what a pilot can eat with one hand.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR)

Runway 09R/27L at SBGR gets long haul bizjets from Miami, Teterboro and Europe, and most arrive with a galley that is empty and a crew that wants local food. Private jet catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos means a tray of pão de queijo, Brazilian coffee in a flask and a feijoada that travels in a sealed tin. Inflight catering here is written around what your oven can hold, and in-flight catering for the return leg is packed the same way. Our aviation catering for business aviation catering requests covers executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for delegations and cabin crew meals boxed by seat.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport

Business jet catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos is built around long flights to Miami, Teterboro and Europe, where the passengers want one proper meal and a cold board for the rest. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the owner's brief, and charter flight catering gets a leaner menu on a tighter plan. Luxury inflight catering for GRU starts with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around the galley you actually have, with Brazilian ingredients that hold on a long leg.

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU)

When a delegation flies out of Guarulhos, the protocol office decides the menu, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are handled by one named team, with traceable sourcing for VIP aviation catering. State visit aircraft catering is sealed and delivered plane-side.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR)

At GRU we handle kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals as special meals with their own box and card. The risk in São Paulo is hidden: farofa and feijão can carry gluten, bacon and egg, so we label each component and seal the box before it leaves the kitchen.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport

Crew meals at São Paulo/Guarulhos are a request that comes with the trip: flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering are ordered on demand and invoiced like the rest of the order. Cockpit meals are packed for one hand, a plate of rice, beans and grilled chicken, and different meals for pilots can be requested so captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew meal boxes go in the jumpseat bag or the bin by the door, labelled CREW, so nobody opens a passenger tray by mistake on a long rotation out of Brazil.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport

FBO catering at Guarulhos means the van comes to the FBO door with a trolley list agreed beforehand. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the handling agent, who opens the airside gate, and ground handling catering follows the same slot. The general aviation terminal at SBGR is the handover point, and handling agent catering is simple when the tail and slot are known.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU)

Larger cabins out of SBGR get galley catering on the high loader, which means airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning coordinated with the ramp. Tell us the type and the galley, and we plan trolleys and containers for the door height. A narrowbody business jet takes a van to the stairs, a long range VIP type takes a loader to the forward door, and the order is loaded top to bottom so the cold items go in last.

About the airportSBGR / GRU

About São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU): airport catering for business aviation

São Paulo/Guarulhos is Brazil's largest airport and a major hub for airport catering, with a general aviation side that handles business jets from across the Americas. FBO services and ground handling services are concentrated on the dedicated apron, and the field works as a business aviation hub for long haul departures.

Business aviation

Business aviation traffic at SBGR peaks around major trade fairs and the Formula 1 weekend at Interlagos, when inflight catering and in-flight catering demand rises. Aviation catering for business aviation catering clients follows the season, with executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations and cabin crew meals boxed for every rotation.

Customs & food import

Imported animal and plant products are tightly regulated in Brazil, and international catering waste cannot be left in the country. That is why we cook locally and seal the food, so your crew leaves without a customs question and with no regulated waste to declare.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Before our guests boarded at São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport, we needed prawn salad and small fruit plates divided into 4 portions suitable for a short ground stop. I asked The Galley Girls for the sandwiches in divided catering boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the side dishes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience.”

Carlos H. | Royal family manager

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“The cabin briefing at SBGR included 8 passenger meals, a request for a charcuterie board and fresh bread, and instructions addressing a family lunch request. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the main courses, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The cabin team could match the sandwiches to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Good preparation made the difference at GRU, where 7 guests expected vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection despite a late menu amendment. I wanted clear identification on the main courses; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. This experience of aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing portion planning on another departure. I found the breakfast portions without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

What crews ask before São PauloAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at São Paulo?+

Cost at GRU is set by what lands on the plate. Local picanha is cheaper than imported smoked salmon, and a fruit board with cupuaçu costs less than a ceviche of sea bass. We quote after we know the seats and the dishes.

What is the lead time for catering at GRU?+

The season decides here: afternoon storms in summer push departures, while winter mornings are calm. Last-minute orders are handled at SBGR, and we re-time the handover to your slot.

Are there customs rules for inflight catering at São Paulo?+

Customs here means the handling agent and the airside pass. Fresh meat, dairy and produce arriving from abroad need clearing, but food prepared locally and sealed passes through the FBO. We coordinate access with your handler.

Can you bring food from home on a flight from São Paulo?+

A last-minute change in passengers is the usual reason crews ask us to top up what was brought from home. Brazil restricts imported animal products, so we supply sealed local dishes and adjust the count.

Is catering part of a charter into São Paulo?+

Catering is not part of a charter. It is a separate order with its own invoice. When your crew sits on the ground at Guarulhos through a long duty day, that order is what puts a hot plate in front of them.
