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 Coca for jet catering at OCC

Orellana Province is Amazon country, and the private jet menu for Coca leans on what the river and the rainforest actually produce. Local specialities that travel well in a galley include tilapia and river fish cooked ahead and packed with the sauce in its own pot, plantain in several forms, yuca, palm hearts and tropical fruit such as naranjilla, passion fruit and pineapple.

Our inflight menu for Francisco De Orellana Airport is written around those ingredients. Private jet food from Coca works best when fish is served warm from the oven and the fruit is cut at the last moment on board, since cut fruit does not hold in this humidity. Private jet platters of fruit, cheese and cured meat go cold and sealed, gourmet inflight meals finish in the galley oven, and private jet snacks such as roasted plantain chips or toasted corn travel without any fuss. Local specialities of the region can be swapped for something plainer if the passenger prefers.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Coca for business and VIP flights (OCC)

A typical business jet brief for Coca is a corporate or executive flight supporting oil and logistics work in Orellana Province, often a small cabin with limited galley space. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour compact boxes, a private jet chef who understands humidity, and a bespoke menu built around river fish and fruit. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same method: seal it, label it, hand it over.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Francisco De Orellana Airport

In the Amazon kitchen, the allergen risk is shared fryers and peanut or nut-based sauces, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals are cooked and sealed separately from the main run, with a card that names the restriction. Kids meals follow the same route, kept plain: rice, chicken, fruit. Special meals for Coca are confirmed with the ordering crew against the passenger list.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Francisco De Orellana Airport (OCC)

On a Coca turnaround the crew dishes are something you ask for, and they appear on the invoice as a normal line. Flight crew meals are packed for a short Amazon turnaround: rice, grilled chicken or fish, fruit, one hand free. Pilot meals are separate, and different meals for pilots can be arranged so the captain and first officer do not share a dish. Crew catering and cockpit meals are labelled CREW, crew meal boxes are sealed against humidity, and cabin crew meals can be added to the same order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Francisco De Orellana Airport

At Coca, the handover happens at the aircraft or the general aviation terminal, arranged through your handling agent. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO follow the same route as any other order; ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the gate is open when the van arrives.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Francisco De Orellana Airport (OCC)

Most traffic at Coca is turboprops and light to midsize jets, so galley catering usually goes up by hand through the main door. For larger aircraft, airside catering delivery can be arranged with your handling agent, who confirms whether a high loader is available on the apron for that type. Aircraft provisioning is planned from the type and the galley layout, not guessed on the day.

About the airportSECO / OCC

Airport catering at Francisco De Orellana Airport (SECO)

Francisco De Orellana Airport serves Coca, the gateway to Orellana Province and the Ecuadorian Amazon. Sitting at 834 ft and tied to energy and river-region logistics, it is a working field for general aviation and a modest business aviation hub, with FBO services and ground handling services arranged through your handling agent. Airport catering here is about what survives humidity and rain on the apron.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Coca is steady rather than showy: corporate shuttles, oil-sector charters and the occasional delegation, all served by FBO services and ground handling services at the general aviation terminal. As a small business aviation hub, the field asks for inflight catering and in-flight catering that avoid anything which spoils in humidity. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are built around river fish, plantain and fruit; executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same discipline. Cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered separately.

Customs & food import

Ecuador controls fresh meat, dairy, fruit and plants arriving from abroad, so food on an inbound international flight is declared and unused fresh items may be removed. For general aviation traffic at Coca, the practical answer is local produce and sealed packaging, and the ground handling services of your handling agent confirm what the aircraft may carry out.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“On this departure from Francisco De Orellana Airport, 11 passengers had chosen a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables, and a small galley worktop needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls labelled the sauces in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the canapés without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at final order confirmation after this experience.”

★★★★☆LIGHT JET

“An order of prawn salad and small fruit plates for 4 people at SECO had to be organised around a family lunch request. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of desserts with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the salads listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. For our team, the strongest part of their flight catering was how they handled portion planning.”

Elena L. | VIP flight attendant

Learjet 75

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Several practical details needed attention at OCC, with a charcuterie board and fresh bread requested for 3 guests and different crew meal preferences to accommodate. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the breakfast portions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. With flight catering services, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The cabin team could match the fruit plates to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

The Francisco De Orellana questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Francisco De Orellana Airport?+

It depends on the menu, the headcount and what your handling agent needs to get airside, and it is quoted per order rather than from a rate card. A fruit platter costs far less than river fish with a hot side, and the quote is built from what you actually select for Coca.

What is the lead time for catering at Coca?+

Seasonal rain makes departures from SECO unpredictable, so the order process is built around changes: menu first, slot confirmed with your handling agent, adjustments accepted. Last-minute orders are handled.

What are the customs rules for catering at Coca?+

Rules at Coca follow national practice: declare food on arrival, expect fresh imports to be restricted, and use local produce for the outbound menu. Naranjilla and passion fruit are good examples of what travels with no issue.

Can you bring food on board at Coca?+

Outside food is possible; the catch is traceability. If a guest needs a nut-free, halal or kosher meal, a labelled box from our kitchen removes the doubt, and that is the one we recommend for flights out of OCC.

Is catering part of a charter flying out of Coca?+

The charter contract covers aircraft and crew, not food. If your flight from OCC has two services, say a hot lunch and a later snack, both are ordered and invoiced as catering.
