Catering to your aircraft in Los Angeles.
SCGE is a field where weather decides, and the Bío-Bío Region does not rush. We prepare crew-friendly trays, labelled by seat, and bring them to the aircraft when your departure finally firms up.
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.

Los Angeles, the Bío-Bío Region's regional hub, is where this part of Chile eats well and plainly. A private jet menu for María Dolores leans on what the south grows: lamb, trout and salmon from the lakes and sea, apples, berries and good dairy. Each local speciality is packed to travel, with the garnish and the sauce kept apart.
An inflight menu built around Los Angeles tells you a lot about the day: cold platters for the climb, a hot main for the cruise, snacks for the long final leg. This is private jet food that respects the Bío-Bío Region. Private jet platters carry the cured and fresh produce, gourmet inflight meals cover the hot service, and private jet snacks finish the loop. Every dish is one of the local specialities, chosen so the galley never has to improvise.
In the Bío-Bío Region, the pantry changes with the season: summer berries and stone fruit, autumn apples, winter stews of lamb and beans. Our private jet menu for Los Angeles follows it, so what reaches SCGE is what is actually good that week. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all built from these local specialities. Cold items stay cold, hot items arrive ready to finish, and nothing needs a kitchen on board.
Chilean tables run on a few honest products, and Los Angeles is no exception. Our private jet food for María Dolores draws on empanadas, pastel de choclo, grilled meats and farm cheeses from the Bío-Bío Region. Presented as private jet platters or gourmet inflight meals, with private jet snacks alongside, each of these local specialities is packed for a galley rather than a restaurant. The inflight menu stays short, seasonal and easy to serve.

The Bío-Bío Region is farm country, and SCGE reflects it: lamb, apples, berries and dairy sit close to the field's character. Our private jet catering at María Dolores turns that into trays a galley can finish without a full kitchen. You get in-flight catering for the cabin, plus business aviation catering and executive jet catering menus. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are written the same way, for the person standing in the galley.
A business flight into Los Angeles rarely needs a banquet; it needs the right five dishes for the cabin. At SCGE, corporate jet catering means local salmon, empanadas and fruit that travel well. Business jet catering for charter flight catering is planned around the galley, and VIP flight catering adds plating detail. For luxury inflight catering, a private jet chef drafts a bespoke menu with you.
Government flight catering at María Dolores follows protocol first: a menu cleared by the delegation, traced from the kitchen to the aircraft, handed over without fanfare. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering at SCGE rely on a named team, quiet handling and the airport's handling agent. State visit aircraft catering is written and checked the same way every time.
In a farm town like Los Angeles, the allergen question is less about exotic ingredients and more about the basics: wheat in the empanada dough, dairy in the sauces, nuts in the sweets. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are prepared as a procedure, each with its own board and its own box. Special meals, allergen free dishes and kids meals leave the kitchen marked by seat.
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.
Crew meals at María Dolores are an on-request service, ordered and invoiced like everything else. Flight crew meals for a long Pacific-side day suit one-handed eating, in boxes that open easily. Pilot meals travel separately from passenger trays, and crew catering is planned for the actual rotation. Cockpit meals are packed to be eaten between radio calls, in crew meal boxes labelled by role. We can prepare different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals follow the same logic, for whoever works the galley.
At SCGE, the FBO is the front door for every order. FBO catering for Los Angeles is delivered via the general aviation terminal, with ground handling catering planned around the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO and handling agent catering are one coordinated call, so the aircraft is served exactly where it stands.
Before anything is packed for SCGE, the type on your flight plan decides how trays get aboard. A light jet takes trays through the main door; a larger cabin may need a high loader to reach the galley door. Galley catering is planned around the aircraft's door height and the galley it actually has. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at SCGE is confirmed against the type before anything is packed.

María Dolores is a regional airfield serving Los Angeles in the Bío-Bío Region, at 374 ft above sea level. For business aviation it is a quiet, practical stop in southern-central Chile, used for regional trips and visits to the area's agriculture and industry.
Airport catering at María Dolores is shaped by what the region produces: lamb, salmon, apples, berries and dairy. General aviation traffic arrives for regional business, and FBO services keep the stop simple. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for this business aviation hub follow the local season. Executive jet catering and business aviation catering use the same fresh produce. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are written to the same standard, with ground handling services coordinating the airside handover.
Chile applies strict agricultural controls through the SAG, and fresh food rules are enforced at every border. For a departure from María Dolores, we plan menus that comply with your destination: sealed items, clear labels, nothing likely to be seized. For an arrival, we advise what can be uplifted.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Keeping the galley organised at LSQ meant planning chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 3 guests with a short ground stop in mind. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the crew provisions to be packed accordingly. This experience of jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Between cabin checks at María Dolores Airport, I coordinated vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 8 guests and explained our concerns about a tight boarding window. With VIP flight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the main courses before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Working around a late menu amendment at SCGE, I asked for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings in portions appropriate for our 11 passengers. For our team, the strongest part of their charter flight catering was how they handled catering handover. The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the sauces ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
Think of it as menu by galley. A Citation can finish almost nothing hot; a Global can run a full service. At SCGE, how much private jet catering costs follows that difference, plus the cost of seasonal products like berries or fresh fish.
Seasonal weather matters more than the clock here. Winter fog and spring storms can reshuffle a day at SCGE; summer rarely does. Our approach to lead time is to stay available 24/7 and re-plan around your actual departure.
Returning from Los Angeles, the question is less what we can pack and more what your arrival country allows. Fresh produce, cured meats and cheeses often cannot cross a border. We help you choose a return-leg menu that complies with destination rules.
Night departures from Los Angeles are quiet, with few services open. You can carry food on, but we recommend ordering ahead for a clean, labelled handover. Customs applies either way, so we keep produce and animal products compliant.
Is catering part of a charter into Los Angeles? It is not. You order it with us, and it arrives through the FBO or handling agent. Airside access is controlled, so we coordinate with them rather than direct.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
