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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Cabo Frio

Cabo Frio is a coastal city in the state of Rio de Janeiro, known for its salt flats and its beaches, and the private jet menu here follows the sea. The inflight menu at Umberto Modiano is built from local specialities: fresh fish, shrimp from the nearby lagoons, and tropical fruit from the region. Private jet food in Rio de Janeiro state is generous and bright, so we pack it to travel: seafood served chilled, moqueca sauce in its own pot, rice and farofa boxed separately. Private jet platters of tropical fruit and cheese pao de queijo, gourmet inflight meals built on grilled fish, and private jet snacks such as coxinha and brigadeiro make up the local specialities that fit a galley. Each item is labelled by seat so your crew re-plates without guessing.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Umberto Modiano Airport (BZC)

Umberto Modiano Airport sits at sea level on the Costa do Sol, a seaside field where Cabo Frio weekenders and Buzios-bound guests arrive by jet, and private jet catering here is built around that holiday rhythm. The galley is stocked with what the Rio de Janeiro coast grows and catches, packed to be served from the drawer. Inflight catering for these legs leans on seafood and tropical fruit, and in-flight catering is re-plated by the crew, not cooked aboard. Aviation catering at BZC covers business aviation catering for owners and executive jet catering for corporate groups, with diplomatic flight catering handled under protocol and cabin crew meals ordered alongside.

Business jet catering for an executive flight at Umberto Modiano (BZC), Cabo Frio

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Umberto Modiano Airport for VIP flights

A typical business flight into Cabo Frio carries an owner and a few guests heading to the coast, often at the weekend. Business jet catering at BZC means a light seafood lunch or a chilled platter, planned around the galley you have. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the same brief, as does charter flight catering, where each menu is agreed with the operator. Luxury inflight catering here uses what the coast offers, from shrimp to tropical fruit. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the guest list and the aircraft, so nothing arrives that the crew cannot serve.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Umberto Modiano Airport

Government and state flights into Cabo Frio are rare and handled with care. Government flight catering for a delegation starts with a menu cleared by protocol before anything is cooked. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are prepared by a named team with traceability, and VIP aviation catering keeps every label by seat, never by name. Discretion is part of the work.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Umberto Modiano Airport

Dietary requests at BZC are handled as a procedure adapted to Brazilian cooking: kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are cooked on separate boards and boxed apart from the guest trays. Special meals and allergen free meals matter here because cassava flour, dende oil, shellfish and cheese bread turn up in so many local dishes, so we check each recipe line by line. Kids meals are simpler, such as rice, beans and grilled chicken, and each box carries the guest's seat number, never a name.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Cabo Frio (SBBZ)

At Umberto Modiano the crew often waits on the apron while guests head to the beach, so crew meals are built to eat quickly and one-handed. Flight crew meals, whether boxed or plated, are ordered with the flight and invoiced like the rest. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten at the controls, with crew meal boxes labelled CREW. On request we pack different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering is only prepared when you ask for it. Cabin crew meals can be different from the cockpit ones, and every box is marked by role.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Umberto Modiano Airport

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Umberto Modiano Airport (BZC)

Cabo Frio sees mostly light and mid-size jets, so most loading at BZC is done by hand through the main door, while a larger cabin may call for a high loader at the sill. Light and mid-size jets are served through the main door by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader at the door. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent, and galley catering is packed to match the ovens and drawers of your type. Aircraft provisioning at BZC stays simple: tell us the tail, we plan the carts and the boxes around it.

About the airportBZC

About Umberto Modiano Airport (BZC): airport catering for business aviation

BZC is the airport for Cabo Frio, on the Rio de Janeiro coast, sitting almost at sea level. General aviation is the main use of the field, so airport catering is oriented toward private flights and quick turnarounds with careful planning.

Business aviation

Cabo Frio brings beach traffic in summer and a calmer rhythm in winter. Inflight catering and in-flight catering follow the same curve. Aviation catering for business aviation catering and executive jet catering is steady, while diplomatic flight catering is occasional and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip. BZC works as a small business aviation hub, with FBO services and ground handling services that are quick to coordinate.

Customs & food import

Brazil restricts imports of fresh animal products and produce, which is why food loaded locally is the simplest path. For an international leg into Umberto Modiano, the handling agent confirms what may stay on board and what must be cleared at customs.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Packing beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 10 passengers at Umberto Modiano Airport needed careful thought, especially given a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the main courses, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. I want a private jet catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We could account for the salads before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Getting a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides ready for 9 guests at Umberto Modiano Airport required an order that accounted for a revised passenger count. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at final order confirmation after this experience. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the starters to arrive in compact food boxes. The sandwiches were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Good preparation made the difference at BZC, where 10 guests expected roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables despite different crew meal preferences. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about storage requirements. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the breakfast portions to be packed accordingly. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

What crews ask before Cabo FrioAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight out of Cabo Frio?+

Quotes start from the tail and the passenger list. A delegation with protocol requirements needs a menu cleared first, then priced. If you want crew meals on the same order, they appear as a separate line, requested and invoiced like everything else.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Umberto Modiano?+

Order when the slot is confirmed, and add the menu details as they firm up. Umberto Modiano has a compact apron, so coordination with your handling agent is straightforward. Orders placed at the last minute are handled the same way, with the seafood subject to what is available.

Does customs affect private jet catering for a jet of this type and galley size?+

For an international arrival, foreign meals left on board can raise questions with customs, so many crews reorder locally. The size of your galley decides the plan: one oven means staggered service, two ovens allow a hot main for every seat.

Can you bring food on board instead, for a night departure or an early morning slot?+

If the departure falls at dawn or after dark, the market is not an option, so ordering ahead replaces it. Own food is allowed within customs limits; most crews still prefer a labelled, galley-ready tray.

Is catering part of a charter into Cabo Frio, on a long leg with two services on board?+

No, food sits outside the charter agreement and is requested, confirmed and invoiced separately. Planning two services on one leg means we split the order by course, with sauces and garnishes packed apart.
