Viktor Rossi: private jet chef at SJO

The cabin crew no longer chases separate suppliers for each leg or re-plates supermarket trays an hour before boarding. Viktor Rossi cooks every order for SJO departures, answers directly when the passenger count changes, and adjusts portioning when the aircraft type is swapped. Allergen labelling is literal, reheating instructions are tested per galley model, and cold items are packed to hold across the flight time you specify. One kitchen, one contact, and no gaps between the order and what boards.

Cooked for your slot, packed for your galley.

Background

Viktor Rossi brings classical European culinary training and two decades of fine dining expertise to private aviation. Specializing in contemporary French-Italian fusion cuisine, he crafts sophisticated menus that honor traditional techniques while embracing modern presentation and bold, refined flavor combinations.

How to order private jet catering for departures from SJO

Individual trays fit single-aisle galleys; family-style platters suit larger cabins with counter space for service. Each format is portioned per seat count and labelled for allergens. To order private jet catering, send your departure time, passenger count, and any dietary restrictions; a private jet catering quote returns within two hours. Lead time is typically twelve hours for cold menus, eighteen for hot mains that require oven finishing. Late changes are absorbed where production has not yet closed. Delivery runs are timed to your slot, and crews are briefed on oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type.

Jet catering San José (Alajuela) for SJO departures

Your crew specifies the cabin layout, and the kitchen preparing your order adapts every tray, platter, and portion accordingly. Private aviation catering for SJO is built around individual service—sealed trays labelled by seat, family-style platters sized to galley width, and portioning that matches your manifest. The facility works with cold rooms dedicated to inflight work, a pâtisserie post for same-day baking, and garde-manger stations timed to your departure slot. Every dish is plated, sealed immediately, and moved under documented cold-chain control. Allergen protocol appears on each label. Business aviation catering here responds to narrow-body galleys, wide-cabin trolley fit, and single-aisle service flow—format follows function, and the kitchen adjusts portion count, plate size, and packaging to what your cabin can actually handle on departure from Juan Santamaría International Airport.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Juan Santamaría International Airport

Breakfast trays with pastries, sliced fruit, and hot items packed separately for galley reheating. Cold plates built to hold across a four-hour leg: cured fish, grain salads, and vegetables that do not wilt. Hot mains portioned in oven-safe containers, reheating instructions printed on each lid. Crew meals on the same order, labelled separately. Every item carries literal allergen marking: dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts. Portioning matches your seat count; nothing is packed in bulk without a clear service plan.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery and galley loading at Juan Santamaría

When your aircraft is on stand, badged drivers deliver VIP flight catering and charter flight catering directly to the ramp or to your FBO. Temperature-controlled vehicles hold the cold chain from the kitchen preparing your order to handover at the galley door. High loader access is confirmed at the time of order for larger cabin types, reaching galley doors at height without manual lifting. Delivery timing is set by you: aligned with fuelling, pre-flight checks, or a revised slot. Charter operators and owner flights are served on the same airside run, packed to the same standard.

Seasonal produce sourced near San José (Alajuela)
Inflight catering — Costa Rica

Flight catering adapted to departure schedules at SJO

Adapting to slot pressure and customs hours at SJO, orders are prepared to match your confirmed departure window rather than a fixed production schedule. Seasonal produce shapes what can be plated: tropical fruit holds well cold, root vegetables reheat cleanly in a galley oven, and leafy greens are dressed separately to travel. Your private jet menu reflects what the market gives each month, and the inflight menu adjusts when supply tightens. Cold preparations for morning departures, hot mains portioned for midday slots, and pastries baked the night before a dawn push.
