Catering to your aircraft in Caicara del Orinoco.
Most flights into SVCD are light turboprops and small jets heading up the Orinoco. We pack for a short galley and the Venezuelan heat, and the order goes to the aircraft through your handling agent.
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.
Caicara del Orinoco stands on the Orinoco in Bolívar State, and the local table is a river table. The private jet menu here leans on fish from the river, cassava bread and the beef of the llanos, all of them local specialities that adapt well to an inflight menu if the packing is right. Private jet food from this region needs care with heat: the same dish that is ideal on the ground can tire after a long leg on a warm cabin.
Private jet platters built on the region's produce are the simplest start: sliced cheese from the llanos, plantain, cassava bread, fruit from Bolívar State. Gourmet inflight meals take the river fish and the beef and finish them in the aircraft's oven, with the sauce packed apart so the plate stays clean. Private jet snacks for CXA are small and dry: cassava chips, roasted nuts, fruit that holds. Each of these local specialities is labelled so the flight attendant knows what is cold, what goes in the oven and what waits.

Caicara del Orinoco Airport sits at 141 ft on the banks of the Orinoco, in Bolívar State, and most arrivals here are light turboprops and small jets heading deeper into the interior. Private jet catering for SVCD is built for that reality: compact trays, a galley that may only have a cooler and a kettle, and ingredients that come from the river and the llanos. Inflight catering and aviation catering are ordered here the same way as at any field, and the order reaches the aircraft through your handling agent. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for CXA follow the same discipline; diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are briefed to the type and the passenger list.
A business jet catering brief for SVCD is usually short: a few guests, a light aircraft and one or two services. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here mean compact trays, a private jet chef cooking regional fish and beef, and a bespoke menu that suits a small galley. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same rule: nothing that needs more equipment than the aircraft carries.
Government flight catering at SVCD starts with protocol: the passenger list, the menu clearance and the people who will touch the food. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are prepared by a named team with full traceability and discretion. For a state visit aircraft catering order, the protocol office signs off before anything is cooked.
Special meals at Caicara del Orinoco are a procedure, not a label: we ask what the guest eats and what they cannot, then cook it separately. In regional cooking, allergens hide in cassava-based breads, fried plantain oil, shared grills and sauces thickened with flour, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are packed apart, sealed and marked by seat. Kids meals are simple, mild and easy to re-plate.
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.
On a turn at CXA, the crew eats fast and last. Crew meals here are ordered on request and billed like any item, and flight crew meals are packed to travel. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are separate boxes with separate dishes, so different meals for pilots are never a problem. Crew catering and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and cabin crew meals follow the same rule at SVCD.
FBO catering at Caicara del Orinoco is handed over through your handling agent at the general aviation terminal. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering rules on the apron, and handling agent catering means one contact who opens the gate and walks the order to the aircraft at SVCD.
Aircraft at Caicara del Orinoco are mostly small, and the type decides how galley catering is loaded: a light turboprop takes a few sealed boxes by hand, while a larger jet may need a trolley or lift. Airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is briefed by tail number so the right containers reach the right door.

Caicara del Orinoco Airport sits at 141 ft in Bolívar State and serves a town on the Orinoco. Airport catering here is shaped by the small aircraft that use the field and by the general aviation terminal where orders are received.
What sets SVCD apart is its place on the river and its small aircraft. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are cooked for compact galleys, aviation catering and business aviation catering stay simple, and executive jet catering uses regional produce. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are agreed in advance, and FBO services and ground handling services at this small business aviation hub run through one handling agent.
Food import is regulated in Venezuela: meat, dairy and fresh fruit carried in can be checked or seized. At CXA the simplest route is a local order, with the declaration passed through your handling agent.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Several practical details needed attention at SVCD, with prawn salad and small fruit plates requested for 11 guests and a revised passenger count to accommodate. I want a private jet chef to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We changed the quantities of breakfast portions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the desserts quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
“For 8 passengers departing from CXA, the agreed menu was a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides; our main consideration was a tight boarding window. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the in flight catering arrangements. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sandwiches clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the fruit plates before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Service planning came first at Caicara del Orinoco Airport, with 8 passengers choosing grilled salmon with a lemon dressing and a short ground stop influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls kept the main courses separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the salads as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering services.”
Price follows what ends up on the tray. For a guest with an allergy flying out of CXA, the cost reflects dedicated cooking and sealed packing; a platter of cheese and fruit sits at the other end. Private jet catering here is quoted per menu, never as a flat rate.
A head-of-delegation menu is agreed first, then cooked. In Bolívar State the approval step is what you plan around, and we handle last-minute orders when approval comes late.
A late change in passengers at Caicara del Orinoco usually means a different quantity of food, and that quantity appears on the documents customs read. We adapt the order and your handling agent presents the updated list.
You may carry your own food, though meat, dairy and fresh produce can be held at customs. For a long leg with two services from Caicara del Orinoco, one local order covers both courses cleanly.
No: a charter agreement does not cover catering, on a full flight or an empty one. For a short repositioning leg into Caicara del Orinoco, you place a small separate order, often only crew meals.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
