Private jet catering at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport (SKRG / MDE), Medellín

Catering to your aircraft in Medellín.

Rionegro sits high above Medellín, and the cool, thin air changes how a tray behaves. We plan private jet catering at MDE around that, for the crew who serve it.

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.

What Medellín brings to your in-flight catering (MDE)

Antioquia is coffee country, and a private jet menu for Medellín can say so without effort: a clean filter-coffee service, fresh arepas and fruit that actually tastes of something. Not every regional dish suits a cabin, so we pick the local specialities that hold up in a galley. Arepas de choclo are best served warm, so they go with the oven in mind. Bandeja paisa is the region's famous plate, but it is heavy and rarely suits a flight, so we adapt it into a lighter inflight menu: grilled meat, rice, plantain and avocado, plated for re-service. Ajiaco, the chicken and potato soup, makes sense when the aircraft has an oven and the evening is cool. Tropical fruit such as lulo, maracuyá, mango and guanábana turns up on private jet platters and in juices. Gourmet inflight meals can mix these local specialities with a classic European or Asian plate. Private jet snacks follow the same idea: cheese and bocadillo, roasted nuts, cacao, small pastries. We build each private jet food order around the Medellín region and the passengers' habits.

If your passengers land in Medellín, they are in Antioquia, and the private jet menu can show it. The inflight menu starts from regional products: Colombian coffee, cacao, hearts of palm, cheeses, plantain and a long list of tropical fruit. Local specialities such as empanadas, arepas, ajiaco and sancocho are cooked to travel and finished on board: oven, sauce apart or served chilled. Fresh fruit plates are the easy win here, since lulo, maracuyá and pitahaya are impressive to look at and light to eat. Private jet platters can pair them with local cheese and cured meat. Gourmet inflight meals for a longer flight lean on fish and grilled meat with clean sides. Private jet snacks cover the gaps: cacao nibs, coffee biscuits, dried fruit. We write every private jet food order for the aircraft and the guest list.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport (SKRG)

Jose Maria Córdova International sits on a high plateau above Medellín at 6,955 ft, and that altitude shapes how a galley is stocked here. Private jet catering at SKRG is built for cool evenings, early departures and the produce of Antioquia. Our former VIP flight attendants plan each tray as inflight catering that survives your galley, never as restaurant food in a box. In-flight catering for business aviation, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same logic: the aircraft type and the slot decide the menu. Aviation catering for crews, including cabin crew meals, is ordered separately and invoiced like the rest. For business aviation catering at MDE, the tray changes hands at the FBO door or with your handling agent, whichever meets the aircraft.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport

Special meals here are a procedure for the Medellín kitchen: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and packed apart. In Colombian cooking, gluten and dairy hide in arepas, empanadas, fritters and cheese-filled sides, and peanuts and nuts show up in sauces and sweets, so each is checked. Kids meals are simple and familiar, and every tray is marked with the seat number, never a name.

FBO catering at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport (MDE): delivery to your aircraft

Where the food is handed over matters at a high-altitude airport with weather that can change fast. Our FBO catering for Medellín is delivered to the FBO or the general aviation terminal and passed to the aircraft. We work through your handling agent for ground handling catering, and handling agent catering requests are agreed ahead of the slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged by phone or email.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport

Up on the Rionegro plateau, the aircraft type decides how galley catering is loaded. A light jet takes a few trays carried to the door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader, and we plan that with your handling agent. Airside catering delivery at SKRG follows the airport's access rules, and aircraft provisioning is written around the galley you have: oven, chiller, drawers, sizes. Tell us the type and the seat plan and we pack accordingly.

About the airportSKRG / MDE

General aviation and airport catering at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport (MDE)

Jose Maria Córdova International serves Medellín from the Antioquia plateau, and its general aviation traffic includes corporate jets and charters. Airport catering here is shaped by altitude, cool weather and afternoon cloud, which affects both menu and handover. General aviation operators use FBO services and ground handling services at the airport.

Business aviation

Medellín is a business aviation hub for northwest Colombia, with executive jet catering, in-flight catering and business aviation catering all in demand for short regional hops and long international legs. Our aviation catering follows the aircraft: inflight catering for a long leg is planned differently from a quick domestic trip. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are available too, on request, at SKRG.

Customs & food import

Colombia checks imported fresh food, including meat, dairy and plant products, and rules can apply to leftovers from earlier sectors. Local catering at MDE avoids the problem. Rules and handling vary by operator, so confirm the details with your handling agent when you order.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Small packing details became important at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport: our 6 passengers wanted a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides, and we had a small galley worktop. We changed the quantities of main courses, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The order made private jet meals feel manageable because the crew briefing had been considered beforehand. There was no need to reconstruct the desserts quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

★★★★★CHARTER
“My order at SKRG covered a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 12 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a tight boarding window. My main takeaway from this private jet menu order was the practical approach to portion planning. The canapés came from The Galley Girls in clearly marked packs, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the sauces in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Several practical details needed attention at MDE, with a charcuterie board and fresh bread requested for 9 guests and a small galley worktop to accommodate. I want a private jet chef to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls prepared the main courses for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. Keeping the snack boxes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Ordering for SKRG, in shortAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for an aircraft out of Medellín?+

Asking about private jet catering cost at MDE usually comes down to cabin size. A midsize jet with an oven and a chiller gives us room for a hot main and a plated starter; a very light jet may call for cold platters and snacks. We confirm the figure when you send type and headcount.

What is the lead time for a night departure or an early slot at Medellín?+

What makes this easy at Medellín is that the whole operation runs round the clock. A night departure or a first-wave slot is planned like any other, as soon as we have tail, slot and guests. If your plans change, call or email and we adjust.

Do customs rules in Colombia affect catering on a long leg with two services?+

Customs in Colombia treat imported fresh produce, meat and dairy strictly, and that affects a long flight with two services. Leftovers from an earlier sector may have to be declared or discarded at MDE. Ordering locally lets us pack both meals sealed, with the second service marked for re-plating.

Can you bring food for a special-meal request, such as kosher, halal, allergen or child?+

You can, but at Medellín it is safer to order it from us. Special meals are cooked and packed apart, with no mixing and a seat number on the tray. If you do carry food in, Colombian customs may restrict fresh items, and an allergen request deserves a kitchen we can name.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Medellín?+

Not with a charter. Food is ordered separately, and it is invoiced as its own line. Into SKRG, a local product makes the menu feel right, whether it is Antioquia coffee, tropical fruit or arepas, and we fit the rest around your cabin.
