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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Atalaya (AYX)

The Ucayali Region is Amazon country, and a private jet menu for Atalaya (SPAY) should taste of it. Think river fish, forest fruit, plantain in every form and the leaf-wrapped juane that Peru's jungle is known for. These local specialities are cooked for a galley, with the hot dishes marked for the oven and the sauce in its own pot.

Our inflight menu for Atalaya mixes the river and the Pacific side of Peru. Hot dishes of paiche, gamitana or chicken juane arrive packed for the galley oven, while cold private jet platters carry ceviche-style plates, tropical fruit and cheese. Private jet food from the jungle works best simple: fresh, well seasoned and easy to re-plate. We also pack gourmet inflight meals for the long return leg and private jet snacks for the cabin.

Local specialities such as tacacho, cecina, patarashca and fruit from the forest are written onto a private jet menu the same way as a European dish: by seat, by restriction and by how it finishes on board. Private jet snacks of toasted corn, plantain chips and Brazil nuts round out the drawer.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport (AYX)

A typical business jet catering brief at Atalaya, SPAY, comes from a corporate or charter party heading deeper into the Amazon or back toward Lima. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here is built around a galley with limited ovens, and a charter flight catering order often arrives with a changing passenger list. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around river fish, fruit and the oven you have, and luxury inflight catering for Atalaya stays simple, fresh and easy to re-plate.

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport

When an official aircraft lands at Atalaya, the catering is agreed with the protocol office, not improvised. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule here: a small named team, a cleared menu and nothing left to chance on the apron.

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport (AYX)

At SPAY, crew meals are an item on the order you ask for, billed like the others. Flight crew meals for a rainforest stop should be simple and hot or cold as you choose; pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed separately, with different meals for pilots when the captain and first officer should not share a dish. Crew catering arrives in crew meal boxes, and cabin crew meals ride in the same drawer, labelled CREW.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport

FBO catering at Atalaya is handed over where the aircraft stops. Catering delivery to the FBO, or to the general aviation terminal if that is your stop, goes through your handling agent: ground handling catering here means a named contact, an apron slot and a clear door to open. Handling agent catering is planned so the galley is loaded once.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport (SPAY)

Before anything is cooked for Atalaya, we ask what you are flying: the door sill, the galley layout, and whether a high loader is needed or the cart can be lifted by hand. Galley catering for SPAY is packed to the oven and drawers you actually have. Airside catering delivery runs through your handling agent to the apron, and aircraft provisioning follows the type, not a standard load.

About the airportSPAY / AYX

Airport catering at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport (SPAY)

SPAY, also known as AYX, is a small Amazon airfield with straightforward operations. It handles business and charter traffic into the Ucayali Region, and airport catering here is delivered airside, with the handling agent and general aviation arrangements guiding the details.

Business aviation

General aviation at Atalaya is shaped by the weather and the river: rain can close the window and reopen it, and FBO services and ground handling services are basic, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are best confirmed with the handling agent early. As a business aviation hub it is quiet but real: business aviation catering and executive jet catering for owner trips, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals for the people working the trip all need a plan before the aircraft arrives.

Customs & food import

Peru restricts the import of fresh meat, dairy, fruit and plant products, and agricultural inspectors can seize food declared or found on arrival. For catering at SPAY, that means ordering locally rather than carrying food in, and treating leftovers from an international arrival as waste to be disposed of under local rules.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“I wanted smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 9 guests at Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a late menu amendment. With aviation catering services, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the starters had been grouped. Knowing where the snack boxes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Packing avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 9 passengers at SPAY needed careful thought, especially given a tight boarding window. I want an aviation catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the crew provisions could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the canapés ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
Ibrahim Y. | Chief cabin officer — private jet
Gulfstream G650ER
★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Despite a small galley worktop, we wanted the 9 guests at AYX to enjoy avocado toast components and breakfast fruit without a complicated cabin service. The main courses supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the starters without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience.”

What crews ask before AtalayaAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Atalaya?+

Think of it as a menu question rather than an airport question. Amazon fish costs more than rice and chicken, and fresh fruit from the forest moves with the season. Private jet catering at Atalaya is quoted from your dish list and headcount.

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

A long sector out of the Ucayali needs a breakfast and a dinner or similar, and the key is knowing your galley. Tell us if there is one oven or two, and we pack accordingly. Orders arriving late are handled, day or night.

What about customs for catering at Atalaya?+

Peru's agriculture rules cover fresh fruit and animal products, and a short slot leaves no time to clear a surprise. Food cooked and packed locally for SPAY avoids that, and leftovers from an international leg should be treated as waste.

Can you bring food on board at Atalaya?+

For a return leg ordered from here, bringing your own food from another country raises the customs problem rather than solving it. Peru limits fresh produce, meat and dairy, so a meal ordered at Atalaya for the way back is easier than carrying one in.

Is catering part of a charter into Atalaya?+

No. With a headcount that can move until the doors close, catering stays a distinct order beside the charter, invoiced like the rest. We adapt portions for SPAY the moment you tell us.
