Private jet catering at Mataveri International Airport (SCIP / IPC), Isla De Pascua

Catering to your aircraft in Isla De Pascua.

Mataveri sits on a volcanic island in the Pacific, and every tail that lands here has crossed open ocean to do it. We cook and pack for the galley you actually have, and hand it over plane-side so the crew can re-plate and go.

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

Regional dishes of Isla De Pascua for jet catering at IPC

Easter Island cooks with what the sea and the volcanic soil give, and a private jet menu for Mataveri leans on that: fresh tuna as ceviche or seared, local lobster in season, sweet potato, banana and papaya grown on the island. A good inflight menu here is short and precise, because supply arrives by sea and by air and nothing is improvised at the last moment.

Local specialities such as tuna empanadas, umu-style roast chicken and fish with island sweet potato travel well in a galley when each element is packed apart. For crew meals the same kitchen sends something simpler and sturdier. Private jet food for Valparaíso Region and the island is chosen for what survives a long sector.

Private jet food at Isla De Pascua has a natural limit, and we state it plainly: when a produce item has not come in on the supply flight, we say so and substitute, never promise. The galley gets a labelled box for each seat, and the local specialities are cut and sauced to be re-plated by hand.

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

A single runway cut across the south-west tip of Easter Island, and almost nothing arrives without a long ocean leg behind it. Private jet catering at SCIP is shaped by that isolation: what is sealed, what is fresh, what the galley can hold for the next leg. Inflight catering for these tails is planned around the aircraft, the crew rest and the return sector. Aviation catering at Mataveri also means business aviation catering for owners who come for Rapa Nui and executive jet catering for operators positioning on to Tahiti or Santiago. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same sealed, labelled logic. In-flight catering here is written down before the wheels are chocked.

Business jet catering at Mataveri International Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Mataveri is built around the Pacific leg. Corporate jet catering here usually means chilled fish, island fruit and one hot course, packed for a galley that may have only one oven. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for owners visiting Rapa Nui follow the same logic: a bespoke menu agreed before the slot, luxury inflight catering that travels well, and a private jet chef who writes the plan around the aircraft.

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

A child on the manifest changes the tray more than people expect: plainer plates, smaller cuts, nothing that cannot be eaten with one hand over a seatbelt. At Mataveri the same care applies to kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals. On an island where supply is limited, we confirm each special meal before the slot, mark the seat number and the restriction on the box, and pack kids meals apart from the guest trays.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Mataveri International Airport

Crew meals at IPC are an on-request part of the order, invoiced like everything else. A crew crossing the Pacific eats differently from the guests: sturdier, one-handed, no sauce that stains a cockpit. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering are labelled CREW and packed apart, and we pack different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. Cockpit meals and crew meal boxes go in their own drawer so no one opens a passenger tray by mistake. Tell us the headcount and the leg.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Mataveri International Airport

FBO catering at Mataveri is delivered to the general aviation terminal, where the handling agent receives it. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering, so the box goes from our hands to the aircraft's door without waiting on the apron. Handling agent catering means one call, one name, one slot.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Mataveri International Airport

Large-cabin tails and state aircraft do land at Mataveri, and galley catering follows the type: door height, whether a high loader is needed, how much the galley can hold on a long Pacific sector. Airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent so aircraft provisioning goes up as one clean handover. Tell us the type and we match the loading to the galley, not the other way round.

About the airportSCIP / IPC

About Mataveri International Airport (SCIP): aviation catering and general aviation

Airport catering at Mataveri has to account for the island's isolation. Mataveri International is a general aviation field with a long runway built to take large aircraft, and it serves the island's tourism and its few scheduled flights. Business aviation lands here for Rapa Nui and for onward Pacific legs.

Business aviation

Mataveri is a business aviation hub of an unusual kind: no other field for thousands of kilometres. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around the crossing, aviation catering and business aviation catering around the supply that reaches the island. Executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals for the long sector are all packed before the tail arrives. FBO services and ground handling services are limited and well known.

Customs & food import

Chile controls food entering the country, and Easter Island is treated with extra care because of its isolated ecosystem. Fresh meat, dairy and produce are restricted; declared and processed food is accepted. For catering, we use island supply where we can and declare the rest.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Food presentation mattered to our 5 guests, but different crew meal preferences also had to be considered when organising a breakfast basket with individual preserves at Mataveri International Airport. The sauces came from The Galley Girls in stackable containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. I want a private jet chef to understand crew briefing, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I could hand the side dishes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

“An order of mushroom risotto and a green salad for 7 people at SCIP had to be organised around several individual meal preferences. For our team, the strongest part of their in flight catering was how they handled storage requirements. The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the sandwiches as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
Nils M. | Government flight manager

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER
“Nothing about the 3 guest order at IPC called for excess complexity: just poached fish with steamed rice and sensible planning for a family lunch request. I appreciated the emphasis on crew briefing throughout the inflight catering services arrangements. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the breakfast portions readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Asked before every SCIP slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Mataveri?+

If you ask how much private jet catering costs at Mataveri, the honest answer starts at the customs desk: Chile's food-import controls decide what can be brought in and what must be bought on the island. A menu of local tuna and fruit is simple; a menu built from imported delicacies adds lines. We send a written quote per menu.

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

What shortens or lengthens lead time at IPC is the galley. Light jets keep it simple; large cabins ask for more preparation and more supply. Last-minute orders are handled whatever the type, and we confirm what is available on the island before we write it down.

How do customs work for catering at Isla De Pascua?+

Customs for catering at SCIP depend on what is on the plate and when you leave. In high season, with departures decided by the weather, we prepare documents and food in advance. Chile's food-import controls apply to everything arriving by air.

Can you bring food on board at Easter Island?+

For the way back from Isla De Pascua, we pack a second sealed order for the return leg. Carrying your own food in is limited by Chilean customs, and what is not eaten often cannot stay on board; we plan the quantities so nothing is wasted.

Is catering part of a charter to Mataveri?+

A charter does not cover catering at Mataveri. Early and night departures are the norm for Pacific legs, and each one needs a separate order, invoiced separately. We confirm the menu and the handover point with you.
