Private jet catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (SGME / ESG), Mariscal Estigarribia

Catering to your aircraft in Mariscal Estigarribia.

At SGME in the Boquerón Department, the apron is quiet and the heat is steady, and nobody on the ramp is going to find you a lunch. We pack the meal, label it by seat, and hand it to your handling agent for the aircraft.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Mariscal Estigarribia (ESG)

Boquerón Department is cattle and quebracho country, and the private jet menu for Mariscal Estigarribia leans on what the Chaco does well. Paraguayan asado cuts are the obvious local specialities: beef ribs and flank, packed raw or cooked, with the chimichurri-style sauce in its own pot so the meat does not sit in it. Chipa guasu, the corn and cheese cake, and sopa paraguaya travel well and re-plate warm from the oven.

For a private jet menu out of SGME, think in terms of what survives the Chaco heat on the ramp. Mbejú, the cassava and cheese flatbread, works as a private jet snack for the cabin. Mandioca, grilled meats and fresh fruit from the region make up an inflight menu that tastes of Paraguay without needing a kitchen on board. Private jet food here is simple, hearty and packed for the galley you actually have, and the local specialities of Boquerón Department do not need dressing up.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (SGME)

Dr. Luis María Argaña International sits in the heat of the Paraguayan Chaco, and what you carry on board is what you serve. Private jet catering for ESG is built for that: in-flight catering that is cooked and packed in advance, business aviation catering for corporate crews, executive jet catering for owners' trips, diplomatic flight catering for state movements, and cabin crew meals boxed for the flight deck.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (SGME)

A business jet into ESG usually carries a small party for a short stay in the Chaco, with a galley that has a single oven and a drawer. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here means a chilled starter, one hot main and a local dessert, packed for that galley. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same plan, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around the seat plan, and luxury inflight catering kept simple enough to serve in a small cabin.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (SGME)

State movements into Mariscal Estigarribia are rare and low-profile, and the catering is planned the same way. For government flight catering we agree the menu with the protocol office, name the people who will pack it, and seal the trays. Head of state flight catering uses traceable ingredients, VIP aviation catering covers official delegations, and state visit aircraft catering is handed over directly at the aircraft.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (SGME)

A dry Chaco kitchen puts beef, cheese and wheat or corn flour in almost every dish, so special meals at SGME are planned as a separate route from the start: kosher and halal sourced and sealed on their own, vegan and gluten free cooked away from the cheese-heavy local dishes, allergen free packed on a separate board, and kids meals kept plain. Ask for the dietary card when you order and we mark each box by seat.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (ESG)

On a remote Chaco stop, the crew eats what we packed or nothing. Crew meals at ESG are on request, billed with the rest of the order, and built as flight crew meals that a flight attendant can re-plate from the drawer. Pilot meals are different from the cabin food, cockpit meals travel in their own crew meal boxes, and crew catering can include different meals for pilots when the operator asks for it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (ESG): delivery to your aircraft

Give us the tail and the slot and we arrange FBO catering for SGME with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO means the order is packed, labelled and handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft, whichever the agent prefers. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are the same job, and the crew's only task is to sign for it.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (ESG)

Larger cabins are provisioned through the handling agent on the apron at SGME. For a bigger aircraft the galley catering is loaded with the high loader and the door height decides how: we confirm the aircraft type, the galley layout and the door in advance, so airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning match what the crew can actually stow. Narrow-body private jets with a single galley are simpler and need only a trolley to the door.

About the airportSGME / ESG

Airport catering at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport (SGME)

Dr. Luis María Argaña International serves Mariscal Estigarribia in the Paraguayan Chaco, and airport catering here is aimed at general aviation, military and government flights. The field has a long runway and little infrastructure, so FBO services and ground handling services are simple and arranged in advance.

Business aviation

Traffic at SGME is occasional: business aviation hub it is not, but the strip is useful for corporate visits, government movements and technical stops of larger aircraft. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are therefore planned per trip. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are packed for the crew and guests, executive jet catering for owners' flights, diplomatic flight catering for delegations, and cabin crew meals for the long day on the apron.

Customs & food import

Paraguay applies national controls on imported meat, dairy and plant products, and a Chaco airport has few facilities for inspection. We keep the order to products that travel with their documentation, and your handling agent confirms the customs position for any food you bring.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“With a family lunch request to consider at Dr. Luis María Argaña International Airport, we needed a practical way to serve yoghurt pots and fresh berries to 6 passengers. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the sauces, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I want an aviation catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Separating the starters from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Timing and organisation mattered at SGME, where our order of avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 12 people involved a late menu amendment. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the crew provisions could be arranged during service. We could finish the main courses as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

Charlotte N. | FBO operator

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“A request for roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, 8 passengers, and an evening cabin service: that was our brief for the departure at ESG. The meal organisation stood out more than any sales pitch about flight catering. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the desserts had been grouped. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

Ordering for SGME, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a trip into Mariscal Estigarribia?+

How much does private jet catering cost here depends on one thing first: what is in the menu. A simple snack box is light on the invoice, a full beef asado service for the cabin is not, and we quote each line.

What lead time should I allow for catering on a short empty repositioning flight to SGME?+

Lead time at ESG depends on what is being collected on the departure, not on the arrival. On an empty positioning leg we deliver crew meals to the aircraft and hold the guest menu for the outbound slot, and last-minute orders are handled.

What are the customs rules for bringing a local product like Chaco beef on board at SGME?+

Beef is the product that matters at SGME, and it is also the product customs care about. We pack and label it so it can be checked, and we recommend you ask your handling agent about customs rules for any food you carry.

Can you bring food from outside into the aircraft at ESG on a repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

It is allowed within customs rules, but most crews at SGME prefer to order. An empty-cabin repositioning leg needs only cockpit meals, and those are easier to pack here than to carry in.

Is catering part of a charter into Dr. Luis María Argaña International, for example when chipa guasu is on the menu?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter: the flight and the food are two bookings. Pick your local items, such as chipa guasu or a grilled meat main, and we handle the order and the invoice separately.
