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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Franca

The private jet menu for Franca leans on the interior of São Paulo state: coffee country, cattle country, and a town that is proud of its shoes. An inflight menu here reads more like a fazenda lunch than a hotel buffet, and private jet food works best when it is built from what the plateau grows. Local specialities travel well when you choose the right ones. Pão de queijo is baked for the oven and re-plated warm. Feijão tropeiro keeps its texture if the sauce stays apart. Cheese from the Minas border, cured meats and fruit from the interior complete the private jet platters. In São Paulo state the guests are often Brazilian business owners who expect their own food at altitude, so we cook it plainly and pack it for the galley you have. The gourmet inflight meals on the hot side finish in the oven, and the cold ones stay chilled until you re-plate.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Tenente Lund Pressoto Airport (SIMK)

Franca's airfield sits at 3,292 ft on the plateau of northern São Paulo state, in a town built on shoemaking, and the owners and buyers who fly into SIMK tend to arrive with a short, specific brief. Private jet catering at Tenente Lund Pressoto is written around that brief and the galley of the aircraft on the ramp. The same kitchen logic covers inflight catering for a turboprop hop and in-flight catering for a larger cabin on a charter rotation. Aviation catering for FRC is ordered by phone or email, any hour, and handed over through the FBO or your handling agent. Business aviation catering here stays practical, and executive jet catering follows the number of seats actually flying. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol before the cooking starts, and cabin crew meals are packed apart from the guest trays.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Franca for business and VIP flights (FRC)

Business jet catering at Franca serves owners and buyers who fly in for the shoe and leather trade. Corporate jet catering here is a short brief: how many seats, what time the guests have eaten, and whether the galley has an oven. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same pattern, with luxury inflight catering for the guest who wants a proper meal at altitude. A private jet chef at SIMK builds a bespoke menu around the plateau's produce.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

When the crew spends a short turn at Franca, a hot dish eaten in the cockpit beats a sandwich. Crew meals are on request, flight crew meals are boxed by seat, and pilot meals stay different from the cabin menu.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Tenente Lund Pressoto Airport

The aircraft at Franca park close to the general aviation terminal, so FBO catering is a short carry to the cabin door. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, with ground handling catering made straightforward by the small apron. Handling agent catering stays in step with the slot.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Tenente Lund Pressoto Airport

Larger aircraft at Franca are uncommon, but when one arrives the galley catering is loaded the same way. Airside catering delivery by van or cart reaches the cabin door, and aircraft provisioning for a bigger cabin may call for a high loader. Tell us the type and the door height before the slot.

About the airportSIMK / FRC

Airport catering at Tenente Lund Pressoto Airport (SIMK)

Tenente Lund Pressoto Airport serves Franca, a footwear and leather town in northern São Paulo state, with the field sitting at 3,292 ft on the plateau. Most traffic is light and mid-size business aircraft, so FBO services stay compact: one general aviation terminal, a small apron, a handling agent who knows each tail. Ground handling services here move at the pace of the aircraft, and airport catering follows the same rhythm.

Business aviation

Franca works as a modest business aviation hub, busiest when buyers fly in to visit the shoe and leather makers. Inflight catering for the outbound and in-flight catering for the return are usually ordered together as one brief. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are handed over through the FBO or your handling agent. Executive jet catering follows the seats actually flying, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations is cleared by protocol first, and cabin crew meals and crew meals travel in their own labelled box. Charter and owner flights alike use the same general aviation ramp.

Customs & food import

Domestic sectors inside Brazil carry few food restrictions, but anything leaving Franca for another country falls under Brazilian agricultural rules and the customs of the arrival state. Fresh meat, dairy and produce are the items most often questioned. Your handling agent presents the paperwork, and the FBO services team can confirm what stays on board. Sealed, labelled food clears most easily.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Timing and organisation mattered at SIMK, where our order of a cheese board and savoury canapés for 6 people involved different crew meal preferences. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the crew provisions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The breakfast portions went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

Antonio R. | VIP flight attendant

Phenom 300

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Nothing about the 6 guest order at FRC called for excess complexity: just chicken skewers with a couscous salad and sensible planning for limited fridge space. The Galley Girls grouped the main courses by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The canapés were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. This experience of in-flight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure.”

Tao Z. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★CHARTER

“Keeping the galley organised at Tenente Lund Pressoto Airport meant planning a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 9 guests with two separate meal services in mind. After a final adjustment to the sauces, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the side dishes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. My main takeaway from this aviation catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”

Ordering for SIMK, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for the return leg out of Franca?+

Return legs are where a good brief saves money. If you order the way back from Franca at the same time as the outbound, we can plan one set of ingredients for both. Beef, seafood and out-of-season fruit drive the total up; rice, beans and local cheeses keep it down.

What is the lead time for catering when the aircraft repositions empty to Franca?+

Lead time depends on the dishes more than the distance: a cold platter is simple, a cooked menu with several diets takes planning. For a positioning flight into Franca, give us the departure slot and we confirm the menu. Last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs require for catering on a delegation or government flight at Franca?+

Check the destination as well as Franca: customs for the next country decide what can stay on board. We recommend fresh Brazilian-made dishes and no uncooked meat or dairy on an international leg. Diplomatic and government flights are handled by the appropriate officer, and the meals are boxed by seat.

Can you bring food of your own, given the departure slot and the turnaround at Franca?+

Yes, personal food can go on board, subject to Brazilian customs on international sectors. At SIMK the turnaround is often brisk, so any food you carry must already be packed, chilled and easy to stow. We suggest ordering the main service from us and bringing only a favourite snack.

Is catering part of a charter on a light turboprop or a mid-size jet at Franca?+

No, it is a separate order. Charter terms for a flight out of Franca cover the aircraft, and each type of jet has its own galley limits. Send us the type and we tell you what finishes in the oven and what stays cold.
