Catering to your aircraft in Maceió.
SBMO fills with beach-bound private jets when the lagoons are at their best. Order private jet catering for Maceió and receive it at the FBO, packed for your galley, day or night.
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.
Alagoas gives a private jet menu its character: the lagoons and reefs around Maceió supply the fish and the shellfish, the groves supply the coconut, and the interior supplies sun-dried meat and cassava. An inflight menu for MCZ built on these is local specialities, not a generic tray.
Sururu, the small lagoon mollusc, is the signature of the state; it travels as a stew that goes into the galley oven, with the rice and the farofa packed apart. Moqueca de peixe is the other pillar, with coconut milk and dendê oil, packed sauce apart so the fish does not overcook in the re-plating.
Private jet food from Alagoas also means tapioca, cuscuz and the bolo de macaxeira, which work cold in the drawer. The seafood changes with the tide and the season, so the final private jet menu is confirmed against what the market has that day.
For guests arriving at SBMO, the fruit plate matters: cajá, graviola, pitanga and cashew fruit, plus coconut water served chilled in its own bottle.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Zumbi dos Palmares International sits on the Alagoas coast, where charter traffic follows the dry season and the beach calendar. Private jet catering here leans on the sea and the coconut grove: inflight catering with local seafood, aviation catering built around tapioca and tropical fruit, and business aviation catering for corporate groups heading to the lagoons. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are briefed the same way as any order, and cabin crew meals are a separate line on request.
Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at Zumbi dos Palmares International start with the group: executives flying to a coastal resort want light dishes, not a heavy tray. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering come from a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around Alagoas seafood.
For state visit aircraft catering in Maceió, the protocol office decides the menu. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are produced with named staff, and VIP aviation catering is delivered under the handling agent's escort.
At Maceió the hidden allergens sit in the local staples: cassava flour in farofa, wheat in the pão de queijo and the cakes, shellfish in the moqueca and sururu, and cashews in the sweets. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are cooked as a separate procedure, with their own board, and special meals are marked by seat number, never by name.
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.
Pilot meals and cockpit meals at SBMO are a separate order. We pack flight crew meals as crew meal boxes, labelled by seat or role, and crew catering covers the wait while guests are at the beach. Different meals for pilots can be specified; crew meals are on request and invoiced.
FBO catering at Zumbi dos Palmares is handed over through the FBO and the handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the apron's access rules.
Large aircraft landing at SBMO may need a high loader for the galley doors. Galley catering is sized to the aircraft's galley, with airside catering delivery coordinated with the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning planned around the door height of the type and the apron position.
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.

Airport catering at Zumbi dos Palmares International serves general aviation traffic on the coast of Alagoas. The FBO services and ground handling services at SBMO support private jets, and the airport works as a business aviation hub for the lagoons and beaches.
The traffic at MCZ is seasonal: beach groups and corporate trips dominate. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders spike with the dry season, and business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled, and cabin crew meals are ordered apart.
Brazilian customs control animal products, fresh fruit and dairy on international flights, and the same rules apply at Maceió. We plan menus around what can cross the ramp and keep the documents with the order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Clear quantities were essential at SBMO: we had 11 passengers expecting a breakfast basket with individual preserves and were working around an evening cabin service. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the sauces, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. Our brief for crew meals was met with a sensible plan for written menu details.”
“What impressed me at MCZ was how a request for mini sandwiches and individual desserts was handled despite different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sandwiches, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. For our team, the strongest part of their FBO catering was how they handled final order confirmation. The side dishes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport, with 6 servings of smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit and limited fridge space to consider. The cabin service sequence stood out more than any sales pitch about airport catering. The Galley Girls grouped the breakfast portions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The crew provisions were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
Maceió's weather window decides how busy the field is, and with it the market. A cashew and fruit snack box is inexpensive; spiny lobster is not. Give us the aircraft and the guests, and the quote comes from there.
At MCZ the thing that shapes an order is airside access through the handling agent. We need the aircraft and the slot so the delivery is cleared. Late changes are handled.
If the headcount moves on the day, the order moves with it. Customs rules on animal products and fresh fruit in Brazil are applied to international flights, so we keep the paperwork aligned with the final passenger list.
Crew duty time and long waits on the ground make it practical to order crew meals instead of carrying food. If you bring your own, customs rules on fresh produce still apply on international legs.
No. On a flight into SBMO the charter pays for the aircraft and the crew; the food is a separate order, commissioned and invoiced on its own. Brazilian food-import rules mean anything loaded for an international leg must be declared and documented, which is one more reason it travels as its own line.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
