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

Inflight catering with the flavours of La Serena-Coquimbo (LSC)

{Region} here means two things at once: a long coastline and a dry interior valley where grapes and papayas share the same sun. For La Serena-Coquimbo we write the private jet menu around fish from the Coquimbo port and produce from the Elqui. An inflight menu might open with ceviche, move to grilled reineta with quinoa, and end on a papaya dessert. Goat cheese from Combarbala, olives and dried fruit make the platter. Local specialities do not need dressing up; they need packing.

Private jet food from the Coquimbo Region splits easily: the sea gives merluza, scallops and crab for the hot side, the valley gives papaya, avocado and goat cheese for the cold. Private jet platters come together fast with these, gourmet inflight meals use the fish and the oven, and private jet snacks lean on dried fruit and nuts. The private jet menu for SCSE is written around that split, with each local speciality labelled for how it finishes: oven, chilled, or sauce apart.

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

La Florida sits at 481 ft in the Coquimbo Region, a coastal field where winter fog and the clear Elqui sky decide the day. Private jet catering here follows the same logic: seafood and fruit are fresh, the galley is the limit, and the FBO is where we pass everything over. We cook and pack as inflight catering written for your galley, never a generic tray. Business aviation catering for LSC covers the cabin and the flight deck, and executive jet catering is briefed per tail.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from La Serena-Coquimbo (SCSE)

Business jet catering at La Florida is mostly mining executives, observatory visitors and weekend arrivals from Santiago, so corporate jet catering here is short and precise. VIP flight catering follows the guest list, charter flight catering the operator's brief, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Coquimbo fish and Elqui fruit. Luxury inflight catering at SCSE rarely needs more than a clean plate and a good wine.

Head of state and government inflight catering at La Florida Airport (LSC)

Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering at SCSE are handled by a small named team, sealed and traceable. VIP aviation catering for Coquimbo Region visits stays discreet.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at La Florida Airport

At La Serena-Coquimbo the allergen map is simple but real: shellfish rides on most of the seafood menu, nuts hide in the dried-fruit platters, and the goat cheese is a dairy line of its own. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are built on separate boards and boxes, with special meals and kids meals marked by seat number rather than name.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from La Serena-Coquimbo (LSC)

For La Serena-Coquimbo we pack crew meals as a separate order, on request and billed with the rest. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals travel in their own crew meal boxes, away from the passenger trays. Crew catering at LSC includes different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never eat the same dish.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at La Florida Airport (SCSE)

FBO catering at La Florida starts with the general aviation terminal: we deliver to the FBO and coordinate with your handling agent for the ramp. Catering delivery to the FBO means the food waits in the right place, ground handling catering is passed plane-side, and handling agent catering follows the slot you set.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at La Florida Airport (LSC)

A light or midsize jet at La Florida usually takes galley catering through the cabin door, by hand, without a high loader. For larger cabins on the ramp, airside catering delivery means the handling agent coordinates the lift and the aircraft provisioning is staged in the order your galley uses it: cold at the top, ovenware below, drinks last.

About the airportSCSE / LSC

Aviation catering and business aviation at La Florida Airport (LSC)

SCSE is the main gateway to the Coquimbo Region, a mix of seaside, vineyards and clear-sky science, and a small business aviation hub for northern Chile. Airport catering at LSC is organised around general aviation traffic, with FBO services and ground handling services working from the same apron.

Business aviation

La Florida sees business aviation for mining, astronomy and the January beach season, and it works as a quiet business aviation hub the rest of the year. Inflight catering here leans on local seafood; in-flight catering for long legs adds hot plates. Aviation catering and business aviation catering at SCSE are busy in summer, when FBO services and ground handling services stay stretched. Executive jet catering suits the Elqui Valley wine trips, diplomatic flight catering the rare official visit, and cabin crew meals and crew meals the crews who wait on the apron.

Customs & food import

Chile's agricultural authority controls fresh produce, meat and dairy on arrival. For La Florida, we plan the order so that nothing uneaten is a problem at the ramp, and local ingredients make clearance easier. Your handling agent and the FBO services desk know the inspection routine, and ground handling services at SCSE follow it for every business aviation hub arrival.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 4 guests at LSC, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with two separate meal services. For our team, the strongest part of their charter flight catering was how they handled portion planning. I asked The Galley Girls for the fruit plates in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the canapés as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

Mia M. | FBO operator

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“My order at La Florida Airport covered poached fish with steamed rice for 2 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a late menu amendment. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sauces to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. For private jet food, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Henry M. | Royal family manager

★★★★☆LIGHT JET

“Having 5 guests request prawn salad and small fruit plates at SCSE meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a short ground stop. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the desserts, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the breakfast portions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the private jet meals arrangements.”

La Florida: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight into La Serena-Coquimbo, given Chile's food-import rules?+

The answer changes with the dish. Bought in the region, merluza and papaya keep an order modest; fillet or imported cheese does not. Chilean customs add a second reason to cook locally, since agricultural restrictions make a tray prepared in the Coquimbo Region easier to clear than one carried in.

What lead time does private jet catering at La Florida need for a light jet with a small galley?+

Galley size sets the order. A light jet at La Serena-Coquimbo is easy: fewer dishes, simpler packing, no high loader. Larger business jets bring more complexity, which is why we ask for the tail first. Last-minute orders are handled for every size.

What customs rules apply at La Florida, and how does the weather window change the order?+

Chile's agricultural service inspects fresh fruit, meat, dairy and honey on arrival, so we label everything and pack what will be uneaten separately. Around La Serena the morning marine fog can shift departures, so we keep hot items flexible and cold items ready to hold if the slot moves.

Can you bring food into Chile for a return leg ordered from La Serena-Coquimbo?+

Personal food can go through, but fruit, dairy and meat may be taken at Chilean customs. A return meal ordered from LSC avoids that: it is cooked for your galley, labelled by seat, and delivered at the apron, ready to be re-plated for the flight home.

Is catering part of a charter into La Serena-Coquimbo for a night departure?+

A private jet charter agreement rarely covers food, and at La Serena-Coquimbo the catering is billed apart. Night departures change the menu more than the process: we favour dishes that hold well and are easy to finish, and the FBO passes them over at the aircraft.
