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

Local specialities from Ahuano for your inflight catering

Ahuano lies in Napo Province, on the Napo River where Amazon cooking is built from river fish, cassava, plantain and tropical fruit. A private jet menu for Jumandy leans on those local specialities, packed to survive jungle humidity rather than a long hold in the galley.

Tilapia and river fish arrive wrapped in leaf and are finished in the oven, with the sauce apart so the skin does not soften. Cassava bread and verde (green plantain) travel well at room temperature and suit private jet snacks and light platters. Tropical fruit such as naranjilla, guava and papaya is cut and chilled, then re-plated cold.

Ecuadorian chocolate and Amazon coffee close the inflight menu; both are sealed and labelled by seat. Our private jet food for this region is written for the crew who serve it: gourmet inflight meals that come out of the drawer and onto the plate without a second thought. Private jet platters are built per passenger, not per tray, with local specialities named on every card.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Jumandy Airport for VIP flights

A typical business jet catering order at Jumandy is a lodge party of four to six heading out, or an expedition link flown on a short hop. For corporate jet catering here, heat is the constraint: the dishes have to hold in a small galley with little oven space. Charter flight catering and VIP flight catering lean on river fish and tropical fruit, sealed and chilled. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what the cabin can finish, and luxury inflight catering for this strip is packed for humidity before anything else. Whether it is inflight catering or in-flight catering for a lodge charter, the handover is the same at the FBO.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Jumandy Airport

Allergens hide in local cooking more than people expect: peanut in sauces, shellfish stock in soups, wheat in the fried plantain batter. At Jumandy we adapt each dish to the guest card, using a separate board and a separate box for kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals. Special meals are written against the restriction on the passenger list, not guessed at the tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Jumandy Airport

For a crew waiting at SEJD, crew meals come by request and are invoiced with the order. Flight crew meals can be hot or cold, pilot meals are two different dishes when you ask, and crew catering is matched to your duty time. Cockpit meals are easy to eat in a seat, crew meal boxes are sealed, and different meals for pilots separate captain from first officer. Cabin crew meals are listed separately.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Jumandy Airport (SEJD)

Jumandy handles light aircraft and small turboprops, so a high loader is rarely in play; the galley you actually have decides how we pack. Galley catering here is built for a compact cabin and limited oven space. Airside catering delivery goes to the FBO or your handling agent at the apron, and aircraft provisioning is matched to the type before anything is cooked.

About the airportSEJD / TNW

About Jumandy Airport: business aviation and airport catering

SEJD is a low-key field on the Napo River, built for light traffic into the Amazon basin. Airport catering at Jumandy follows the apron routine of any small airport.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Jumandy is small but steady: lodge transfers and expedition flights. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering, aviation catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering are all handled the same way here, and we supply diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals when requested. General aviation and FBO services are limited, and ground handling services are arranged by your agent; as a business aviation hub it is quiet, but orderly.

Customs & food import

Entering Ecuador with raw produce or animal products can lead to seizure at inspection. For Jumandy, catering sourced in-country avoids the question and the paperwork.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“For 3 passengers departing from SEJD, the agreed menu was vegetarian wraps and colourful salads; our main consideration was different crew meal preferences. The desserts came from The Galley Girls in individual containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. The crew provisions were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination.”

Alice S. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“One detail shaped our order at TNW: two separate meal services, alongside a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 7 passengers. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the breakfast portions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. For aviation catering services, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage. There was enough information about the snack boxes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

Chiara Y. | FBO operator

Falcon 7X

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Getting vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection ready for 6 guests at Jumandy Airport required an order that accounted for a revised passenger count. I want an aviation catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls prepared the breakfast portions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. Keeping the crew provisions aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Before you order at SEJDAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin out of Jumandy?+

Jumandy repositioning flights are often the lightest orders we see: a pilot box, local fruit, perhaps a coffee flask. Anything beyond that is added by request and invoiced as part of the same order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Jumandy when I order the return leg from here?+

If you want the return meal waiting at the FBO when you come back, order it now; we hold it against your slot. The only thing that complicates it is a produce item out of season, in which case we swap it. Last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs rules mean for food at Jumandy, Ecuador?+

Entering Ecuador with fruit, cheese or cured meat from another country can lead to confiscation. At Jumandy, the handling agent will tell you what must be declared. Our catering is made locally, so there is nothing to clear.

Can you bring food into Jumandy while the crew waits on the ground on duty time?+

During a ground wait at Ahuano, there is little nearby in the way of food service, so crews tend to want something ready. Bringing your own works for sealed items; for anything fresh, ordering crew meals through us avoids import issues.

Is catering part of a charter into Ahuano when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Not at all: private jet charter pricing leaves out meals. A late change in headcount at Jumandy is handled by phone or email, and we revise the order, with the invoice following the final tray count.
