What is the shortest notice you can typically accept at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport?

Same-day orders are typically accommodated when the request reaches the kitchen before the final production window and ingredient availability supports the full menu. Notice requirements vary with the complexity of the brief, the number of passengers and whether dietary restrictions require dedicated preparation, so it's always worth confirming timing as soon as your departure slot is locked.

Can you accommodate specific dietary and allergen requirements?

Yes. Every private jet catering order is prepared to the dietary profile and allergen restrictions you specify, with separate workstations used for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and other restricted menus. Each tray is labelled with ingredient lists and allergen flags, and substitutions are discussed before production begins to ensure the alternative meets both safety and flavour expectations.

Do you offer high-loader service at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport?

High-loader capability for aviation catering at SBGL is available where ground support equipment and apron access are confirmed by your handling agent at the time of order. Availability depends on daily resource allocation and the aircraft parking position, so we recommend flagging the requirement early in the booking process to allow coordination with the FBO and the operations team on the ground.

How do I place an order for a flight departing Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport (GIG/SBGL)?

Provide your departure time, passenger count, dietary requirements, aircraft type and preferred delivery point—either FBO or planeside—and we'll confirm the menu, timing and any adjustments needed to fit your galley configuration. Orders placed with full details and reasonable notice give the kitchen the best opportunity to source fresh ingredients, time production to your slot and deliver everything sealed, labelled and ready for the crew to load.

Local calendar

Private jet catering calendar – Rio de Janeiro peak weeks

Late December and the weeks spanning February to March bring sustained surges in private aircraft movements at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with New Year celebrations and Carnival drawing charter traffic from across South America, North America and Europe. Apron congestion tightens PPR windows, slot coordination becomes less flexible, and high-loader availability can be constrained by the volume of simultaneous departures. Order lead times typically need to be moved forward by at least a day during these periods, and menu flexibility helps when ingredient supply or kitchen capacity reaches daily limits. Confirming your private jet catering requirements as soon as the departure slot is locked ensures production can be scheduled, delivery aligned with the compressed apron timeline, and any dietary or galley constraints addressed before the crew arrives for pre-flight briefing.

Réveillon (New Year)

late DecemberIn townHeavy demand

On the field

Réveillon drives peak traffic at GIG with significantly increased business aviation movements. Expect apron congestion, mandatory PPR, earlier slot requests, and extended FBO handling delays during the holiday week.

What we do about it

Serving fifteen to twenty departures in a compressed late December window, private jet catering and charter flight catering orders multiply: multi-course menus for eight to twelve passengers per aircraft, all requiring New Year presentation standards. We batch-produce components two days ahead, then finish and pack to each tail number's specific departure slot.

Carnival

February to MarchIn townHeavy demand

On the field

During Carnival, you can expect saturated apron capacity at GIG, tighter slot availability, and extended handling delays as private aviation traffic peaks alongside commercial operations. Advance PPR and early coordination with your handling agent are essential.

What we do about it

Charter operators no longer schedule turboprops for February to March inbound traffic. Gulfstream and Global galleys handle full VIP flight catering loads without trolley stacking — we prep each course for sequential plating rather than bulk hold. Business aviation catering timings align with your actual wheels-up, not the filed slot.

Periods shift year to year — confirm the date with us when you order.
