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 Santa Rosa for your inflight catering

Santa Rosa sits in El Oro Province, the Ecuadorian coast where shrimp farms, banana plantations and cacao groves run down to the Gulf of Guayaquil. Our private jet menu for Santa Rosa is built from that table, so the inflight menu reads as the province eats rather than as a generic hotel list.

The strongest private jet food here is seafood: camaron al ajillo, ceviche de camaron, encebollado-style fish broths and grilled corvina. Cold plates travel best, so ceviche is packed with the lime and the crunchy corn kept apart, and the broth goes in a sealed container for the oven. Local specialities such as patacones, maduro and yuca are packed for the galley, crisp items separate from sauces.

For private jet platters we lean on tropical fruit from El Oro: banana, papaya, passion fruit, soursop and mango in season. These are cut by seat, chilled and re-plated at altitude. Gourmet inflight meals can pair a shrimp main with coconut rice, and private jet snacks include banana chips, roasted corn and cheese empanadas.

Because coastal humidity is high at 20 feet elevation, we keep fried items and sauces in separate lidded containers so nothing softens before the crew serves it. Tell us the aircraft and the galley and we write the menu around it.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport (SERO)

A low coastal strip at 20 feet above sea level, Santa Rosa in El Oro Province sits in banana and shrimp country, and that shapes every private jet catering order we pack for SERO. Cold seafood plates, plantain sides and fruit boxes are built for the aircraft you actually fly, then handed over at the FBO. Inflight catering here leans on what the province grows, and in-flight catering for a long leg out of ETR is planned around the galley and the seats. Aviation catering and business aviation catering orders reach us any hour, and executive jet catering follows the same rules as every other airport on the map. For state movements we run diplomatic flight catering with a named team, and cabin crew meals are available on request, invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport (ETR)

A business jet catering brief at Santa Rosa usually comes from a corporate flight crew heading for Quito, Guayaquil or beyond with four to eight on board. Corporate jet catering here means cold coastal plates and one hot course for the oven, with VIP flight catering touches such as cut tropical fruit by seat. For charter flight catering and private jet charter movements we plan around the slot, and luxury inflight catering is built on a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu to the aircraft type.

State visit aircraft catering in El Oro means few people see the food, and that is how it should be. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are prepared by a small named team, with VIP aviation catering packed, sealed and labelled to the protocol list.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport

Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are handled as a procedure, not a promise: on the El Oro coast, the allergen to watch is shellfish, which sits in many local dishes, so shrimp and fish stocks are kept off any special meals board. Special meals are prepared on a separate surface and sealed with the seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport (ETR)

When the aircraft sits on the apron at ETR, the crew wants food that is simple and quick to eat. Crew meals, ordered on request and invoiced with the order, are packed in crew meal boxes marked CREW. Flight crew meals and pilot meals can differ by seat, which gives different meals for pilots when policy asks. Cockpit meals avoid sauces that spill, crew catering for the cabin crew follows the same pack, and cabin crew meals are listed on the same sheet.

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport (ETR)

FBO catering at Santa Rosa means the food is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft, by someone who knows the apron. We coordinate catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent, ground handling catering is booked against your slot, and handling agent catering stays one line on your trip sheet.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport (ETR)

On the ramp at Santa Rosa, the airframe you fly sets the way the trolleys and boxes get up to the cabin door. For a larger cabin we arrange galley catering that is carried to the door with the right equipment, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning follows the galley of the airframe: ovens, drawers, chillers. Tell us the type and whether a high loader is needed and we plan the load around it.

About the airportSERO / ETR

Airport catering at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport (SERO)

Santa Rosa airport sits at 20 feet in El Oro Province, a coastal Ecuadorian field serving the banana and shrimp economy. For airport catering it is a small field with straightforward access, and general aviation traffic is mostly regional and corporate. FBO services and ground handling services here are organised through your handling agent.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is too big a phrase for Santa Rosa, yet the airport sees steady private traffic tied to agriculture and coastal business. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these trips lean on fresh seafood and fruit. Aviation catering and business aviation catering orders are placed ahead by the crew, executive jet catering follows the same rules as everywhere, diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled, and cabin crew meals are available on request.

Customs & food import

Ecuador regulates the import of fresh animal and plant products, so food from a foreign origin is declared to your handling agent on arrival. Catering loaded here is sourced locally, sealed and labelled, which keeps customs simple. Your handler confirms the current rules at the FBO.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Small packing details became important at Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport: our 4 passengers wanted vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection, and we had a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls suggested individual containers for the sandwiches, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the main courses to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I want an inflight catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“My order at SERO covered poached fish with steamed rice for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of limited fridge space. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the starters and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“We kept the passenger brief simple at ETR: roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 9 guests, organised with a revised passenger count in mind. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. This experience of in-flight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing crew briefing on another departure. The starters were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Asked before every SERO slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost when a passenger needs a halal or allergen-free meal at Santa Rosa?+

How much does private jet catering cost for a guest with allergies? The answer starts with the ingredient list. Plantain, rice and grilled chicken are inexpensive; imported kosher items cost more. We quote each special meal as its own line.

What is the lead time for private jet catering on a long leg out of Santa Rosa with two services on board?+

Lead time here is shaped by the produce: El Oro shrimp is a daily buy, so a two-service menu built around it is easy to confirm once we have the slot. Last-minute orders are handled, and we just need the seat plan.

What do customs require for inflight catering on a night departure from SERO?+

Ecuador controls the import of fresh meat, dairy and produce, and the same rules apply to leftover food coming off an inbound flight. On a night departure we load only locally sourced food, so customs has little to examine. Your handling agent confirms the formalities.

Can you bring food of your own to a light jet with a small galley?+

You can, but a small galley limits what is practical. Without an oven, home-prepared hot dishes are hard to serve, and customs may query imported items. We pack cold plates and sealed hot items sized to your drawer.

Is catering part of a charter when the turnaround at Santa Rosa is short?+

Is catering part of a charter? No. The charter covers the aircraft and crew, while food for your Santa Rosa departure is ordered separately and invoiced on its own. A short turnaround only changes where on the apron we meet the aircraft, never the way the order is placed.
