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

The Bahía de Caraquez table, packed for private jet catering

Manabi Province is Ecuador's seafood coast, and a private jet menu from Bahía de Caraquez reads that way: ceviche de camarón, encebollado, corvina, and a grilled fish with patacones. Our inflight menu for Los Perales translates these local specialities into what travels in a galley. Ceviche is packed chilled with the lime and the toasted corn in separate pots, so the guest plate is assembled at the seat. Encebollado is a broth and goes in a sealed container for the oven. Private jet food from this coast also means tropical fruit: papaya, pineapple, maracuyá, cut and boxed cold. For {Region}-style private jet platters, we build a tray of shrimp, avocado, plantain chips and a spiced sauce on the side. Gourmet inflight meals for a longer sector lean on seco de pollo or a grilled corvina with rice. Private jet snacks are simple: plantain chips, roasted nuts, fresh fruit.

Bahía de Caraquez gives a private jet menu a clear identity: shrimp, tuna, corvina, plantain, coconut and the cacao that grows inland in Manabi Province. When a crew flies into Los Perales, the inflight menu can lean on these local specialities rather than a generic international card. Private jet food from here is cooked for the galley you have: fish that holds in the oven, sauces kept apart, salads re-plated cold. We assemble private jet platters from shrimp, avocado and mango, and gourmet inflight meals around a grilled tuna steak with rice and sautéed greens. Private jet snacks from the region include banana chips, dried fruit and chocolate made from Ecuadorian cacao. Everything is packed, labelled by seat and handed over plane-side.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Los Perales Airport (SESV)

On the Manabi Province coast, Bahía de Caraquez is a place where the sea decides the menu, and Los Perales (SESV / BHA) is the airfield that serves it. We provide private jet catering for business aviation catering requests here: seafood cooked and chilled, fruit cut for the cabin, executive jet catering sized to the seat plan. Diplomatic flight catering gets a protocol-cleared menu, inflight catering for ordinary charters gets a simple order, and cabin crew meals are added on request and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Los Perales Airport (BHA)

A typical business jet catering order at Los Perales is a small cabin, a short ground time and a menu that leans on the coast. Corporate jet catering here means ceviche, grilled corvina and tropical fruit, with VIP flight catering extras on request. Charter flight catering for a holiday group follows the same logic. Luxury inflight catering is a matter of detail: sauce apart, seat numbers on the lid. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around the aircraft and the guests.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Los Perales Airport

State visits to the Ecuadorian coast are rare and discreet. Our government flight catering for BHA is built around the protocol office: head of state flight catering follows a menu agreed in advance, VIP aviation catering uses sealed packing, and state visit aircraft catering is traced from kitchen to hold.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Los Perales Airport

At Los Perales the coast makes allergens easy to lose track of: shellfish sits in half of the local dishes, peanut and sesame show up in sauces, and cooking oil is shared between fish and plantain. Special meals for kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are built as a procedure on our side, with a separate board and sealed packaging, so that a dietary request stays a dietary request all the way to the seat.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Los Perales Airport (BHA)

For a rotation through SESV, crew meals come after the guests are served. Flight crew meals can be fish and rice, pilot meals a cold plate or a hot tray, and crew catering stays separate from the passenger trays. Cockpit meals travel in sealed crew meal boxes, and we pack different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. Cabin crew meals are on request and invoiced as part of the order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Los Perales Airport (BHA)

FBO catering at Los Perales means a handover at the FBO or general aviation terminal, or at the aircraft if your handling agent clears us onto the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering, and handling agent catering is agreed before the slot.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal
High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Los Perales Airport (BHA)

Aircraft that call at Los Perales are mostly light and midsize business jets and turboprops, so galley catering rarely needs a high loader. Airside catering delivery is made by vehicle to the apron, boxes passed up the stairs, and aircraft provisioning follows the tail you give us: the door height, the drawers, the one oven. If a larger aircraft is on the schedule, tell us and we plan the loading with your handling agent.

About the airportSESV / BHA

General aviation and airport catering at Los Perales Airport (BHA)

SESV is a small airfield on Ecuador's Pacific coast, used mainly by general aviation. As a business aviation hub it is modest: one apron, a terminal a few steps from the aircraft, and FBO services arranged through your handling agent. Airport catering here stays simple, and ground handling services for catering run through the same agent.

Business aviation

The field sits at about ten feet above sea level, so performance is rarely the issue; coastal weather and the rainy season matter more. Inflight catering and in-flight catering follow the season: lighter plates in the heat, hot soups when it cools. Aviation catering and business aviation catering stay plain at a business aviation hub of this size, executive jet catering is sized to the cabin, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals, like all crew meals, are added on request.

Customs & food import

Customs at Bahía de Caraquez follow Ecuador's national rules: fresh food from abroad is controlled and agricultural inspection can be strict. We provision locally, so what leaves with you is Ecuadorian and needs no import paperwork; leftovers from the inbound leg go through your ground handling services provider.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“One detail shaped our order at SESV: a short ground stop, alongside a request for a cheese board and savoury canapés for 2 passengers. The Galley Girls suggested separate meal boxes for the snack boxes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the sauces from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. I would discuss private jet catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET
“The 5 passenger portions of mushroom risotto and a green salad were the easy part; managing a tight boarding window at BHA took more planning. After a final adjustment to the side dishes, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the fruit plates quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet catering services was how they handled cabin service sequence.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“With a tight boarding window to consider at Los Perales Airport, we needed a practical way to serve chicken skewers with a couscous salad to 5 passengers. I asked The Galley Girls for the side dishes in individual containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. I want a private jet catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Keeping the snack boxes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Questions crews ask about Bahía de CaraquezAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a departure from Bahía de Caraquez?+

Slot and ground time are the first things that move the price here. If you turn the aircraft around quickly at SESV, a cold ceviche plate and a fruit board are enough; if you stay on the ground, a cooked corvina or seco de pollo is possible. Private jet catering cost is then set by the menu you choose, not by a standard tariff, and your quote arrives itemised.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Los Perales?+

When a delegation or head of state flight is planned for Manabi Province, send the request as soon as the visit is known. We handle last-minute changes, but protocol, dietary clearances and handover at the FBO are easier when we hear about them early.

What are the customs rules for catering at Los Perales?+

Short positioning flights are the simplest case: little or nothing on board, so little or nothing to declare. We provision from local sources in Manabi Province, and for anything that arrived from abroad your handling agent clears it with customs at Los Perales.

Can you bring food on board at Los Perales?+

Crew and passengers can bring their own food, within Ecuador's import rules. For the way back from SESV, we recommend ordering locally, so seafood, fruit and cooked dishes come packed for your galley and nothing is left to customs.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Bahía de Caraquez?+

The charter price does not include food. Catering is ordered and invoiced separately, and for flights into Los Perales we source in Manabi Province, which sidesteps most customs questions about imported food.
