Catering to your aircraft in Paipa.
Paipa is a weekend airport for thermal-spa guests and local business, and the apron is quiet. We pack Boyacá dishes for SKPA in trays that fit a small oven and a drawer, labelled by seat.
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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Paipa lies in Boyacá Department, known for dairy, potatoes and trout from the highland lakes, and the private jet menu we build for SKPA starts from that table. The inflight menu leans on local specialities such as ajiaco-style soup, papa criolla, arepa boyacense and Paipa cheese, all adapted so they survive the trip to the galley. Private jet food from this region is hearty by nature, so we balance it with lighter plates for the altitude. For the cabin we assemble private jet platters with local cheeses, cured meats and fruit, plus gourmet inflight meals such as grilled trout with herb potatoes, and private jet snacks like cheese arepitas and almojábanas. Every item is a local speciality packed for your seat plan and your galley.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
At 8,205 ft, SKPA is one of the higher fields in Colombia, and the cool Boyacá air shapes what people want to eat on board: warm soups, grilled trout, soft cheeses. Private jet catering at Juan Jose Rondon (RON) follows that rhythm, from a cold lunch for the cabin to hot dishes finished in the oven. We handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for Paipa arrivals, aviation catering and business aviation catering for corporate groups, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official visits, and cabin crew meals boxed separately.
Business jet catering at SKPA is usually a corporate group heading to Paipa for a short stay: light bites in the cabin on arrival, a hot dish on the return. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are built around local cheeses and trout, charter flight catering is kept simple for quick turns, and luxury inflight catering uses regional produce. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what the galley can finish.
Official visits to Boyacá use SKPA's quiet apron. State visit aircraft catering is cleared with protocol, head of state flight catering follows a fixed ingredient list, and government flight catering and VIP aviation catering are packed with seals and labels that leave no names on the trays.
Boyacá cooking leans on cheese, corn and dairy, so special meals at SKPA are handled as a procedure: kosher and halal meals sealed and labelled by seat, vegan plates built around potatoes, corn and local beans, gluten free substitutes for arepas and almojábanas, allergen free trays kept apart from cheese dishes, and kids meals such as plain grilled chicken with rice and mashed potato.
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.
On request, crew meals for SKPA are ordered and invoiced like any other line. Flight crew meals are boxed separately from guest trays, pilot meals suit a cockpit with one hand free, and crew catering is built around soups and arepas that eat easily. Cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes labelled CREW, with different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it, and cabin crew meals stay apart from guest plates.
At SKPA, we deliver to the FBO and the general aviation terminal as agreed with your handling agent. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are confirmed against the tail; ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow airside permissions.
A business jet on the Juan Jose Rondon apron is usually loaded by hand through the main door, but larger cabin aircraft depend on the airside setup the handling agent can provide. Galley catering is packed to match the aircraft's actual drawers and ovens, and airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent. For longer stays or bigger types, aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail and door height before anything is cooked.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Juan Jose Rondon Airport serves Paipa and the Boyacá highlands as an airport catering stop for general aviation, with FBO services and ground handling services for private and corporate flights. It acts as a modest business aviation hub for the region's thermal-spa tourism.
Paipa's season peaks on holiday weekends and during local festivals, when inflight catering and in-flight catering demand rises. Aviation catering and business aviation catering stay flexible for group arrivals, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official visits, and cabin crew meals for rotations.
Food import rules in Colombia are enforced by agricultural inspection, and a galley carrying foreign fresh produce can be checked at SKPA. Ordering from us means nothing needs declaring: it is cooked in-country and delivered through the FBO or handling agent.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“One detail shaped our order at Juan Jose Rondon Airport: a short ground stop, alongside a request for mushroom risotto and a green salad for 8 passengers. The order made aviation catering services feel manageable because the crew briefing had been considered beforehand. The crew provisions came from The Galley Girls in compact food boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the sandwiches in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
“Service planning came first at SKPA, with 10 passengers choosing a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides and a changing departure schedule influencing our preparation. I want an aviation catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I wanted clear identification on the sauces; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the salads identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Good preparation made the difference at RON, where 3 guests expected fresh fruit and breakfast pastries despite a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the crew provisions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. We could account for the snack boxes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”
Pricing is built per request. Ask for local Boyacá dishes, tell us the cabin size, and name your handling agent; we confirm airside access and return a quote you can approve before the slot.
A shifting headcount is easier when the menu is built in flexible portions, such as platters and arepa baskets. We take late updates by phone or email, 24/7.
When duty time forces a stop at Juan Jose Rondon, we supply crew meals that can be eaten during the wait. Food comes from Colombian producers, so customs paperwork stays simple.
Rules are enforced at the field: unlabelled meat and dairy can be discarded. We provide documentation-free local meals so there is nothing to declare.
Charter prices don't include galley supplies. Ask for a return-leg order from Paipa and we pack it with the same local dishes, billed apart.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
