Catering to your aircraft in São Raimundo Nonato.
NSR is a small apron in the Piauí sertão, used by visitors to the national park and by research flights. Crew-run catering, packed for a galley with little space, delivered to the aircraft.
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.
Piauí is sertão country, and the food of São Raimundo Nonato follows it: carne de sol, goat slow-cooked until it falls apart, cassava in every form, rice cooked with cheese and pequi-free local cashew. A private jet menu for Serra da Capivara draws on these local specialities and adapts them to a galley: the stew travels hot and gets finished in the oven, the farofa stays dry in its own tub, the fruit is cut at the last moment. An inflight menu built on Piauí produce reads differently from any generic list, and it is private jet food your passengers will remember.
The Serra da Capivara area, in the south of Piauí, eats from the caatinga: umbu juice and jam, cashew fruit, baked cassava, grilled cheese, dried sun-cured beef. Our private jet menu for NSR keeps these local specialities recognisable while making them workable at altitude: sweets travel chilled, sauces come apart, cheese is sliced for re-plating. The inflight menu changes with the season, since mango, cashew and umbu come and go. Private jet food from São Raimundo Nonato is simple, regional and packed for a small galley.

A quiet field on the edge of the Serra da Capivara national park, NSR sees private flights that come for archaeology, research and the occasional delegation heading to São Raimundo Nonato. Private jet catering at this airport is shaped by the interior of Piauí: goat, cassava, cashew, umbu. We handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for light jets and turboprops alike, plus aviation catering for operators repositioning through the region. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are quoted per menu; cabin crew meals can be added to the same order.
Flights into São Raimundo Nonato carry researchers, executives and small tour groups. We offer business jet catering and corporate jet catering with a private jet chef, a bespoke menu for each tail, VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering for charter flight catering requests, all sized to a light galley.
Government flight catering at Serra da Capivara covers officials visiting the national park and the region. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow protocol: menus cleared in advance, a named team, discreet handover. State visit aircraft catering is handled the same way at NSR.
In the interior of Piauí the allergen risk sits in cassava flour blends, cashew and peanut garnishes, and shared grills, so special meals at São Raimundo Nonato are cooked on their own board and packed in their own box. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are confirmed per tail, allergen free orders get a sealed tray, and kids meals are marked by seat number.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At a remote field like NSR the crew often waits for the passengers to return from the park. We supply crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals on request, billed as ordered. Crew catering comes as cockpit meals in crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots when policy requires.
FBO catering at Serra da Capivara Airport (NSR) means catering delivery to the FBO, where the boxes are handed to you at the general aviation terminal or carried out to the aircraft. With a light apron and few movements, we agree the door and the slot with your handling agent, so handling agent catering and ground handling catering stay one simple handover at São Raimundo Nonato.
Serra da Capivara handles light and midsize business aircraft, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand rather than by high loader. If your type needs one, tell us the door height and we plan airside catering delivery around the aircraft provisioning on the apron.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Serra da Capivara Airport serves São Raimundo Nonato and the national park in the south of Piauí. Airport catering here supports general aviation and FBO services in a simple terminal.
NSR is no business aviation hub, yet park visitors and research teams bring steady private traffic to São Raimundo Nonato, and ground handling services are arranged flight by flight. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered per trip; business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are quoted per menu, and cabin crew meals or crew meals can join the same order.
Brazil restricts fresh animal products and produce brought in on aircraft, so catering at NSR is cooked from local ingredients, and your ground handling services agent will tell you what must be declared on arrival from abroad.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“One detail shaped our order at Serra da Capivara Airport: a revised passenger count, alongside a request for smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 2 passengers. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the breakfast portions, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the sandwiches before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. My main takeaway from this inflight catering services order was the practical approach to written menu details.”
“For 11 passengers departing from Serra da Capivara Airport, the agreed menu was mini sandwiches and individual desserts; our main consideration was a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls prepared the desserts for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. I want an inflight catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Keeping the fruit plates aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“Getting a breakfast basket with individual preserves ready for 4 guests at NSR required an order that accounted for a late menu amendment. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. The Galley Girls grouped the main courses by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
Crew duty time decides it. If the pilots wait for a delegation to return from the park, we pack a full cockpit meal with sauce apart; a quick turn takes snacks. Prices follow the dishes you pick.
Brazilian customs and food-import rules are the thing to plan around. Because the menu is sourced and cooked locally, nothing needs clearing, and last-minute requests for NSR are handled.
A return leg is a separate set of boxes. Customs on the other side may not accept fresh dairy or meat, so we favour sealed, shelf-stable items when the destination is strict.
An empty positioning leg usually needs only a crew snack. You can bring food, but Brazilian customs may stop fresh items from abroad, which is why many crews order locally instead.
Is catering part of a charter into NSR? No, it is ordered and invoiced separately. For a delegation the menu is cleared in advance, and we handle government flight catering with discretion.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
