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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Guanare

Portuguesa State is plains country, and the private jet menu for Guanare comes straight from it. Carne en vara, the beef cooked slowly over embers, is the dish people mean when they say llanero food, and it travels well sliced and packed for re-plating. Local specialities here are simple and strong: arepas, cachapas folded over fresh white cheese, fried cassava. For private jet food at SVGU, we keep these tasting like themselves rather than dressing them up.

The inflight menu from Guanare leans on tropical fruit and cold plates for lighter flights: mango, guava, passion fruit, papaya cut for the tray. Private jet platters of queso de mano and cured meats hold up in a drawer through a long wait on the apron. Gourmet inflight meals follow the same logic as everywhere, a hot main that finishes in the galley oven and a sauce in its own pot. Private jet snacks are corn-based: tequeños, small empanadas, plantain chips.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Guanare Airport (GUQ)

A corporate jet into Guanare usually carries a small group heading to ranch business or a family visit in Portuguesa State. Business jet catering for that brief is simple and local, with arepas, grilled beef and cheese. For corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering, the private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the passengers and the galley. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same method, set down in writing before the trip.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Guanare Airport (GUQ)

When an official delegation lands at SVGU, the order is agreed with the protocol office, not the kitchen. We provide government flight catering and head of state flight catering with traceable ingredients and a small team. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering use the same sealed process, kept quiet and exact.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Guanare Airport (GUQ)

Special meals at Guanare start in the pantry: a plains kitchen cooks with beef, cheese, wheat-free corn flour and frying oil, so allergen free work means a separate board and a separate box. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are handled as a procedure agreed with you before cooking, marked by seat and restriction. Corn flour makes arepas a natural gluten free base, and kids meals can be built from the same cachapas and soft cheese.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Guanare Airport (GUQ)

On a Guanare turnaround, crew meals are something you ask for, and they appear on the invoice like every other line. For flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals, we pack single boxes that can be eaten with one hand during a long wait on the apron. Crew catering is built for the duty day, with crew meal boxes labelled CREW and, on request, different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals ride in the same order but are plated for the galley.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Guanare Airport (SVGU)

FBO catering at Guanare is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft, depending on the apron that day. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the airport's rules for airside access. Handling agent catering is agreed on the order: who opens which door, and where the trolleys stop.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Guanare Airport (SVGU)

What goes through the door at SVGU depends on the aircraft type, and the galley is loaded to match. Light and mid-size jets are provisioned through the cabin door by hand, while a larger jet may need a high loader at the door. For galley catering at SVGU we ask for the type and the door height, then pack to fit. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO or your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is staged by trolley, cooler or box depending on what the apron allows.

About the airportSVGU / GUQ

Aviation catering and business aviation at Guanare Airport (GUQ)

SVGU is a plains airport in Portuguesa State, low and hot, with general aviation sharing the field with scheduled traffic. Airport catering for private jets is a local operation, built around what the region produces and what the apron allows.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Guanare is seasonal. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for private jets peak around the Coromoto pilgrimage and harvest periods, and executive jet catering follows ranch and agriculture trips. Aviation catering here is built for light jets, and business aviation catering for larger visits is planned on the type. Diplomatic flight catering is rare and handled quietly, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the rest. As a business aviation hub, Guanare is modest; FBO services and ground handling services are what matter.

Customs & food import

Customs at Guanare follow Venezuelan food-import rules: fresh animal products and produce are the items most likely to be questioned, and catering waste from an international leg has to be cleared separately. We buy locally in Portuguesa State for that reason, and the order is written so your handling agent knows what is arriving.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“It was the packing plan I cared about at GUQ, with 5 servings of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and limited fridge space to consider. Our brief for in-flight catering was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls prepared the canapés for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. We could finish the side dishes as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 9 guests at Guanare Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with an evening cabin service. Our brief for vip inflight catering was met with a sensible plan for written menu details. We changed the quantities of sandwiches, 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.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Food presentation mattered to our 6 guests, but two separate meal services also had to be considered when organising mushroom risotto and a green salad at SVGU. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the fruit plates to arrive in clearly marked packs. I could hand the sandwiches to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I would discuss private jet catering with them again, especially when written menu details needs careful coordination.”

The Guanare questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost into Guanare?+

Priced per menu, with the customs question deciding a lot. Venezuela restricts what food can enter, so a local menu is cheaper and simpler than one built on imported ingredients. For private jet catering at SVGU, a plated main is a different line from a platter; we price each one and send it with the confirmation.

What is the lead time for catering at Guanare?+

The product that matters is local: carne en vara, the plains beef, which needs cooking over embers and cannot be rushed. Lead time for a menu with it is easier to plan if you tell us early which dish you want; last-minute orders are handled and we move to a cold plate when the grill is not an option.

What do customs require for food on a flight into Guanare?+

Customs touches both directions. Food arriving on board by the FBO is checked with the handling agent, and uneaten food from an international leg is treated as catering waste under Venezuelan rules. A short turnaround keeps this tidy; a long one lets you clear the galley first.

Can you bring food on board at Guanare?+

Yes for sealed, commercially packaged items, with limits on fresh produce and animal products under Venezuelan rules. For a long crew wait, we recommend ordering crew meals locally instead of carrying food in.

Is catering part of a charter into Guanare?+

No: the charter covers the aircraft. Food comes as its own order, and special meals such as kosher or allergen free are the reason to place it early. We label each tray by seat number and restriction so cabin crew serve without guessing.
