Private jet catering at Itaipú Airport (SGIB), Itaipú

Catering to your aircraft in Itaipú.

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

Itaipú on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at SGIB

The private jet menu for Itaipú Airport draws on Paraguayan cooking from Alto Paraná Department, and most of it travels well. Local specialities such as chipa guasu, sopa paraguaya and mbeju are baked corn and cassava breads that keep their shape in a galley drawer, while surubí, the river catfish of the Paraná, and grilled beef are the dishes that guests ask for first. We write the inflight menu around what your galley can finish, so a private jet food order from Itaipú might be chilled platters for the cabin and a hot main that goes in the oven. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks carry the same local logic, and the private jet platters can be built from Paraguayan cheese, cured meats and tropical fruit.

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

Itaipú sits at 762 feet above sea level beside the dam that gives the airport its name, and the aircraft that land here are usually dropping off engineers, officials and visitors bound for the hydroelectric complex. Private jet catering at SGIB is built around that short, purposeful stop, with the galley sized to the aircraft and the order handed to your handling agent at the FBO. The same inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering we pack elsewhere is cooked for this apron: business aviation catering for the corporate crowd, executive jet catering for the cabin, cabin crew meals for the flight deck, and diplomatic flight catering when the visit is official.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Itaipú Airport (SGIB)

Business jet catering at Itaipú is usually a small, precise order: engineers, officials or executives flying in for the dam. Corporate jet catering here means a chilled platter and one hot main that suits the galley, with VIP flight catering for the cabin when needed. For charter flight catering, a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for the tail, and luxury inflight catering is built around the Paraguayan dishes your guests ask for.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Itaipú Airport

Itaipú orders are written with a diet card for each seat. Corn, cassava starch and cheese are the base of much Paraguayan cooking, so gluten free and allergen free meals are built from clean ingredients and packed apart from the cheese breads. Vegan and kids meals sit alongside kosher and halal requests, all handled as special meals with the same care as the rest of the order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Itaipú Airport

The order reaches the aircraft through the FBO. We handle FBO catering at SGIB, with catering delivery to the FBO as the normal route, and your handling agent at the general aviation terminal takes it to the apron. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated with the agent so nothing waits at the gate.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Itaipú Airport

Itaipú handles light and mid-size business aircraft far more often than large airframes. When a bigger aircraft does land, galley catering is sized to the type: door height, trolley access and whether a high loader is needed for airside catering delivery are settled with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at this airfield is agreed by tail and aircraft type.

About the airportSGIB

About Itaipú Airport: business aviation and airport catering

SGIB is an airfield tied to the Itaipú hydroelectric project. For catering, that means a quiet apron, a small general aviation terminal and a few aircraft at a time. FBO services and ground handling services are limited in scale, which keeps airport catering orders straightforward.

Business aviation

Itaipú is a modest business aviation hub in Alto Paraná, with inflight catering and in-flight catering arranged by tail and slot. Aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the dam visitor calendar, executive jet catering suits corporate crews, diplomatic flight catering covers official visits, and cabin crew meals are packed with the order.

Customs & food import

Paraguayan customs control fresh meat, dairy and produce brought into the country, and Itaipú is a border area, so imported food is checked. Catering prepared locally and delivered to the aircraft keeps the order simple, and your handling agent can confirm what has to be declared.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Keeping the galley organised at SGIB meant planning a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 3 guests with a short ground stop in mind. With business jet catering, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The salads from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the starters properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Working around a revised passenger count at Itaipú Airport, I asked for beef fillet with roasted potatoes in portions appropriate for our 8 passengers. This experience of business aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure. The Galley Girls suggested individual containers for the main courses, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the sandwiches to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Getting yoghurt pots and fresh berries ready for 11 guests at Itaipú Airport required an order that accounted for a short ground stop. The Galley Girls kept the starters separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The canapés stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. For our team, the strongest part of their jet catering was how they handled catering handover.”

Before you order at SGIBAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight into Itaipú when the passenger count can change at the last minute?+

Private jet catering at Itaipú is priced after you choose between a light chilled spread and a full hot service. Passenger numbers that shift late are common on dam visits, so the order is kept flexible and the invoice follows the final count.

What lead time does private jet catering at Itaipú need for a small jet versus a larger galley?+

Give us the aircraft type and we will say how the order should be shaped. A large galley can finish a surubí main in the oven, while a smaller one gets chilled plates. Short-notice orders are handled for either case.

What do customs rules mean for private jet catering at Itaipú if the passenger count changes late?+

If you are carrying food from another country, Paraguayan customs can ask what is on board. Ordering from us avoids the question, since everything is prepared inside the country and handed over at the FBO. A changed passenger count changes the portions, not the paperwork.

Can you bring food onto a business jet at Itaipú, and what does the galley of your aircraft allow?+

You can bring your own, but check the galley first. Many light jets have one oven or none, and Paraguayan customs treat imported fresh food carefully. Ordering from us gives you dishes finished for the galley you really have.

Is catering part of a charter into Itaipú when the passenger count is still moving?+

Catering sits outside the charter agreement and is ordered and invoiced separately. A shifting passenger count is common for visits to the dam, so we keep the order open and update it with you before departure.
