Catering to your aircraft in Jauja.
A morning at Francisco Carle starts with frost on the apron and thin air in the lungs. Catering for JAU is planned around that: warm soups, clean plates and sealed boxes, packed for crew who serve in a hurry.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Junín Region is potato country, and the private jet menu for Jauja starts there: native potatoes in dozens of colours, boiled, mashed or turned into a papa a la huancaína with its yellow ají sauce. The inflight menu draws on the Mantaro Valley, where trout from highland lakes and rivers is the everyday fish. Private jet food from this region is honest and warm: pachamanca-style meats, locro-type soups, quinoa and chuño. These local specialities travel well when packed in separate pots, with sauces apart and herbs fresh.
For {Region} think of Junín Region as a larder of high-altitude produce: tubers, corn with big kernels, fava beans, trout, and the herbs that grow on the cold plateau. A private jet menu for Jauja can be built from these without shipping anything in. The inflight menu we write for SPJJ keeps the plates simple, because altitude dulls the palate and heavy sauces tire guests. Private jet food here is warm broth first, then a clean main. Local specialities such as huancaína, trout ceviche and quinoa salads suit the cabin well.

At 11,034 feet, Francisco Carle Airport in Jauja is one of the highest fields business aviation uses in Peru, and the cabin feels it: appetites dip, the air is dry, and rich food sits badly. Private jet catering for SPJJ is planned around that, with lighter plates, warm broths and plenty of still water. Inflight catering here covers short repositioning legs as well as full trips, and in-flight catering is packed for the galley you actually have. Aviation catering for the Mantaro Valley leans on potatoes, trout and fresh herbs. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same brief, with cabin crew meals ordered on request and invoiced like the rest.
Business jet catering at SPJJ is usually a brief about guests who may feel the altitude. For corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering, a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around trout, quinoa and native potato. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same plan: light, warm, no heavy sauces.
For government flight catering, Francisco Carle Airport sees a small named team working quietly, with no fuss on the apron. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering follow the protocol of the delegation, and VIP aviation catering is cleared before anything is cooked. The menu stays plain and traceable.
Jauja's kitchen is already rich in vegetables and grains, so a vegan or gluten free plate here can be built from quinoa, fava beans, corn and native potato rather than substitutes. We watch where allergens hide locally: cheese in the huancaína, peanuts in some ají sauces, fish stock in broths. Kosher, halal, kids meals and other special meals are handled as a procedure, with allergen free items boxed separately and marked by seat number.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At SPJJ the flight deck eats when the cabin allows. We pack crew meals as crew meal boxes: flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals, with different meals for pilots if the operator needs it. Crew catering is on request, and cabin crew meals can be added to the same order.
At Francisco Carle Airport the general aviation terminal is where FBO catering begins. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, and ground handling catering covers the last step to the aircraft. Handling agent catering is a single, clean handover.
The aircraft type decides how food reaches the cabin at SPJJ. Smaller business jets are loaded by hand from the van on the apron; larger aircraft may need a high loader, which your handling agent arranges. We plan galley catering around the galley you have, with a drawer and a small oven in mind, and we agree airside catering delivery with the FBO beforehand. Aircraft provisioning here also means thinking about thin air and cold: sealed pots stay warm, and cold items travel in insulated boxes.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Francisco Carle Airport serves Jauja and the Mantaro Valley in Junín Region. It is a regional field at 11,034 feet, and airport catering here means planning for altitude, cold mornings and a small general aviation terminal. FBO services and ground handling services are available through your handling agent.
Business aviation hub is a big phrase for a field like Jauja, but general aviation does land here, from corporate trips to the valley to survey and charter movements. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are planned around thin air, and business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same rules. Cabin crew meals complete the order.
Peruvian customs and the agricultural authority control the import of fresh food, so locally cooked meals are simpler for any arrival. Your handling agent confirms current rules on the day. We size the order to your galley and to what the aircraft can carry out again.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around a revised passenger count at Francisco Carle Airport, I asked for poached fish with steamed rice in portions appropriate for our 2 passengers. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sandwiches clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the crew provisions listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. I want a private jet catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Despite a small galley worktop, we wanted the 7 guests at SPJJ to enjoy a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides without a complicated cabin service. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the salads to be packed accordingly. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at cabin service sequence after this experience. That left time to check the sauces properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Getting avocado toast components and breakfast fruit ready for 9 guests at JAU required an order that accounted for a late menu amendment. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about storage requirements. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the crew provisions could be arranged during service. We could finish the sandwiches as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
How much does private jet catering cost? In Jauja it varies with the menu, the number of seats and the access your handling agent can arrange. A warm quinoa soup and grilled trout menu sits very differently from a multi-course tasting. We send a clear quote with each line, invoiced like any other order.
What makes an order easy in Jauja is knowing the special-meal needs at the start. With them, even a late request is manageable. Last-minute orders are handled, day or night, and standard local menus rarely need much planning.
Customs in Peru focus on imported fresh items, and the practical consequence is about the galley: a small cabin means small provisions. For Jauja we recommend ordering locally prepared meals, which stay within normal rules. Ask your handling agent about specific products before the trip.
On a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin, crew often just want something simple, and bringing a packed lunch is normal. For guests, we suggest ordering fresh local food so nothing needs customs clearance. Anything you carry in should be sealed and declared if arriving from abroad.
No. Catering is not part of the charter: the aircraft is one contract, the food is another. You order the meals separately, they are invoiced on their own, and we hand them over at the FBO. For crews waiting out duty time at SPJJ, crew meals on request are the practical answer.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
