Private jet catering at Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes Airport (SKFL / FLA), Florencia

Catering to your aircraft in Florencia.

At Florencia, the day starts early, the air is warm and wet, and a light jet can sit on the apron between rain showers. We cook for that rhythm: river fish, fruit and coffee, packed for your crew to re-plate at SKFL.

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

Florencia on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at FLA

Florencia is the capital of Caquetá, where the Andean foothills drop into the Amazon, and the private jet menu here leans on that geography. A Caquetá inflight menu has river fish, plantain, yuca, arepas and tropical fruit that few galleys ever see. Private jet food from this region is honest and fresh, so we cook it for travel and mark what needs the oven and what stays chilled.

Local specialities from Caquetá are the point of ordering at SKFL. Our private jet platters carry fruit and cheese from the region, our gourmet inflight meals use river fish and plantain, and private jet snacks include coffee-region sweets. The private jet menu for Florencia reads like the Amazon foothills, each dish packed to survive a jet galley.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes Airport (SKFL)

Florencia sits on the western edge of the Amazon basin, and the kitchen follows the market: river fish, plantain, passion fruit and a wet-season rhythm that decides what is fresh. Private jet catering at SKFL is built around that, with inflight catering that travels well in a galley, in-flight catering plated by your crew, aviation catering for the aircraft you actually fly, business aviation catering for quiet corporate rotations, executive jet catering for charter legs, diplomatic flight catering when protocol applies, and cabin crew meals packed separately.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes Airport (SKFL)

At SKFL we run FBO catering through the general aviation terminal: the handling agent opens the access, and the catering delivery to the FBO ends at the aircraft door. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated by phone before the slot.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes Airport

SKFL is a small regional field, so most business jets are loaded from a truck or by hand at the FBO. For a larger cabin we confirm with your handling agent whether a high loader is needed for airside catering delivery. Galley catering and aircraft provisioning are planned around the actual galley of your type, with trolleys, trays and ovens counted before cooking starts.

About the airportSKFL / FLA

About Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes Airport (FLA): airport catering for business aviation

SKFL, also filed as FLA, serves Florencia on the western edge of the Colombian Amazon. The terminal handles scheduled traffic and a thin stream of general aviation, so it works as a small business aviation hub for crews working the Caquetá region. Airport catering for private jets is arranged ahead with the FBO.

Business aviation

Florencia sees jets between rain showers: small teams, short stays, specific needs. We supply inflight catering and in-flight catering for those stops, aviation catering for operators unfamiliar with the area, and business aviation catering with executive jet catering for charters. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are available, and SKFL remains a quiet general aviation airport with FBO services and ground handling services.

Customs & food import

Food entering Colombia through SKFL meets customs and agricultural inspection, and fresh produce brought from abroad can be pulled from the galley. We cook in-country, so what goes on board is already compliant, and your handling agent deals with leftover waste. This is also why SKFL works as a business aviation hub for crews who prefer to order here rather than carry food in.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes Airport, the next request was a cheese board and savoury canapés for 10 guests, with a late menu amendment to work around. I want a private jet chef to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls kept the main courses separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the crew provisions ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET
“Timing and organisation mattered at SKFL, where our order of yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 4 people involved an evening cabin service. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the snack boxes, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the canapés before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. The galley preparation stood out more than any sales pitch about in flight catering.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“We kept the passenger brief simple at FLA: fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 8 guests, organised with different crew meal preferences in mind. The fruit plates supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The starters were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. This experience of inflight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”

The Gustavo Artunduaga Paredes questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a trip into Florencia when the passenger count changes late?+

Think of private jet catering cost as menu plus portions. At Florencia, a surprise extra guest means one more fish plate and one more fruit portion, invoiced like any other item. Last-minute changes are handled.

What is the lead time for catering at SKFL when the crew is waiting on the ground?+

Lead time at SKFL depends on the market day and the produce; river fish is easiest when we know early. Orders placed close to departure are accepted and handled, with crew meals labelled CREW.

What do customs require for food coming into Colombia through Florencia?+

Arriving at SKFL from abroad, any raw animal or plant product in the galley may be declared and removed. We source locally, so the meal on board is cleared by the handling agent without conflict.

Can you bring food on board in Florencia, and can we order a return leg from here?+

Yes, though customs and the galley both impose limits. Better to order the return-leg meals from Florencia: we cook them, pack them cold or ready to heat, and hand them over at the FBO on your slot.

Is catering part of a charter into Florencia on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

No, and an empty repositioning flight does not change that. Whether you carry guests or only crew, food at SKFL is a separate order, invoiced on its own like everything else.
