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 Tocopilla table, packed for private jet catering

Antofagasta Region is desert coastline, and its private jet menu leans on what the Pacific and the northern valleys provide. Around Tocopilla the local specialities are seafood: ceviche of reineta or corvina, machas a la parmesana, locos with mayonnaise, and empanadas de mariscos. Pastel de choclo and humitas come from the corn of the valleys inland, and pisco sour is the regional signature. For the inflight menu we keep the cold plates cold, the hot plates sealed for your oven, and the sauce in its own pot. Private jet food from this coast travels well when it is built for a galley: private jet platters of seafood and avocado, gourmet inflight meals finished by your crew, and private jet snacks such as dried fruit, olives and almonds. These local specialities are chosen for the aircraft you actually fly.

Tocopilla looks onto the Pacific, so the private jet menu for Barriles starts at the water. Fresh fish ceviche, machas, locos, and empanadas are the local specialities of Antofagasta Region, with pastel de choclo and humitas for a hot course and chilled pisco sour mixers for the bar. Inflight menu choices are made around a galley, not a restaurant: raw seafood travels chilled and sealed, baked dishes are packed for the oven, and sauces ride apart. Private jet food here includes private jet platters of seafood, cheese and cold cuts, gourmet inflight meals plated by your cabin crew, and private jet snacks of nuts, dried mango and local olives.

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

Barriles Airport sits at 3,475 ft on the dry Antofagasta coastal range above Tocopilla, and a flight attendant here plans the galley around desert air, a small apron and a stop that rarely runs long. Private jet catering at SCBE is built on that: cold-forward menus, sealed trays, hot items finished in your own oven. For executive jet catering, cabin crew meals and inflight catering, one team of former VIP flight attendants cooks, packs and labels. In-flight catering and aviation catering are handed over to your FBO or handling agent, and business aviation catering requests for diplomatic flight catering are cleared before anything is cooked.

Business jet catering at Barriles Airport for VIP flights

A typical corporate or executive brief at Barriles is a small cabin, a mining-region itinerary and a menu that must survive dry heat. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here lean on chilled seafood platters and one or two sealed hot courses. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method, with luxury inflight catering designed around the aircraft's oven. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for each tail, and the tray goes to your handling agent at SCBE.

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Barriles Airport (SCBE)

When an official party flies into Tocopilla, government flight catering is a procedure, not a menu. State visit aircraft catering and head of state flight catering at TOQ are planned with the protocol officer: ingredients traced, dishes pre-approved, trays sealed. VIP aviation catering is passed to the handling agent, with a named team behind the order.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Barriles Airport

Special meals at Barriles follow a procedure built for the local kitchen: in a seafood and corn region, shellfish and gluten hide in sauces, stuffings and breaded coatings, so allergen free dishes get their own board, their own box and a separate label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are cooked and sealed apart from the other trays, marked by seat number, and handed to the handling agent with the rest of the order.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Barriles Airport (TOQ)

At TOQ, crew catering is a separate order for a team that eats last and fastest. Our flight crew meals come as sealed crew meal boxes, and pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten between tasks. Crew meals are on request and billed like the rest, with different meals for pilots when operator policy asks for it. Everything is handed to your handling agent for the aircraft.

FBO catering at Barriles Airport (TOQ): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Barriles is handed over at the aircraft, through the general aviation terminal or to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO follows your slot, and ground handling catering means we coordinate with the handling agent for airside access. For a small strip like SCBE, handling agent catering is simply one phone call and one door to open.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Barriles Airport (SCBE)

The aircraft decides how the food is loaded at Barriles. A light jet takes its trays through the cabin door and the galley is small, so galley catering is packed in compact, stackable containers. For a larger aircraft, airside catering delivery may call for a high loader at the door and a larger galley layout. Tell us the type and tail and we pack for the galley the aircraft actually carries, with aircraft provisioning coordinated through your handling agent.

About the airportSCBE / TOQ

About Barriles Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Barriles (SCBE / TOQ) is a coastal-range airfield above Tocopilla, northern Chile. It serves business and charter flights tied to Antofagasta's copper and port activity, with a terminal sized for small groups.

Business aviation

Airport catering at Barriles for the small business aviation hub in Tocopilla means inflight catering sized for light and midsize jets. In-flight catering and aviation catering for general aviation traffic are planned around dry desert weather and long hauls. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all follow a simple path: order, cook, seal, hand over. FBO services and ground handling services are modest here, which keeps the process direct.

Customs & food import

Chile's customs and agricultural authority restrict fresh fruit, meat, dairy and plant material arriving from abroad, and leftover food may be taken at the aircraft. For orders at Barriles, buying and packing locally avoids declaring items and keeps the galley compliant.

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Barriles Airport, the next request was roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 11 guests, with a family lunch request to work around. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the salads had been grouped. The cabin team could match the sandwiches to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”
Anders A. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“The 8 passenger portions of a breakfast basket with individual preserves were the easy part; managing a family lunch request at SCBE took more planning. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. Our brief for in-flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for catering handover. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
Henry A. | FBO operator

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“A request for smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit, 8 passengers, and two separate meal services: that was our brief for the departure at TOQ. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the aviation catering arrangements. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the snack boxes to arrive in stackable containers. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Ordering for SCBE, in shortAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight into Barriles?+

What moves the price at Barriles is the menu you choose and who is on board. A state or government party may want hot courses finished in the aircraft's galley plus cabin crew meals and a separate set for the security team. We quote after the menu is settled, and private jet catering is invoiced like any other order.

What is the lead time for a kosher, halal, allergen or child's special meal at Barriles?+

At SCBE a kosher or halal order is easiest when we know it early, because sealed components must be sourced. Allergen free and child meals follow a procedure rather than a promise. Last-minute special meals are handled: we keep a short list of dishes that suit most restrictions.

What do customs mean for crew duty time and waiting on the ground at Barriles?+

Chile's agricultural authority is strict about imported produce and animal products, and it matters when crew sit out a long duty day at SCBE. Food bought locally and packed here stays on the right side of customs. Crew meals are delivered to the handling agent, so a delay on the ground does not become a food problem.

Can you bring food from the departure slot into Barriles on a short turnaround?+

A short turnaround at TOQ leaves little room for a customs conversation. You can bring sealed, commercially packaged food, but fresh items are a gamble. Local private jet catering is passed to the handling agent on your slot and goes straight into the galley.

Is catering part of a charter flight into Tocopilla?+

The charter price covers flying, not food. If you want locally caught fish and corn dishes on board from Tocopilla, you order and pay for them as a separate catering service.
