Cold rooms hold at 2°C until the final pack, then transport begins in vehicles that log temperature across the journey to CUE. Andres Garcia prepares orders for early morning business departures and late afternoon long-haul legs, adjusting production schedules to match the rhythm of the field rather than a fixed kitchen day. He answers directly when a slot changes, when a passenger brief arrives an hour before wheels-up, or when a charter manifest grows from eight to fourteen. What he cooks is timed to when you depart, and the menu is written around what reheats cleanly in your galley and what the season allows that week.

How private jet catering runs at Mariscal Lamar Airport

Aviation catering in Cuenca aligns with the airport's rhythm: early-morning departures to Quito and the coast dominate weekdays, while leisure charters and repositioning flights cluster on Friday evenings and Sundays. We schedule production runs to those peaks, with kitchen prep beginning at 04:00 for breakfast service and a second shift covering late-afternoon departures. Delivery rounds are timed around refuelling windows and customs formalities, so catering arrives after ground power is connected but before the final walk-around. During Cuenca's cultural festivals and long weekends, charter volume rises and handling queues lengthen; we brief flight attendants on oven capacity and refrigeration limits for each aircraft type, and we work with your handling agent to confirm apron access and equipment availability. The process remains flexible—menu adjustments, portion changes, and crew-meal additions are logged in real time—so the catering you ordered matches what boards.

One contact across your fleet — the kitchen preparing your order for CUE handles supplier coordination, cold-chain control, and departure-timed plating so you don't juggle multiple vendors. Private aviation catering at Mariscal Lamar Airport is managed through a dedicated facility with documented allergen protocols on every label, separate prep posts for pâtisserie and garde-manger, and same-day capacity when your schedule demands it. High loader capability is available where aircraft size requires it. Business aviation catering is sealed after plating, held in temperature-controlled conditions, and delivered airside with full traceability from purchase through handover.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Mariscal Lamar Airport

For a departure from CUE, you can order breakfast trays that hold three hours without refrigeration, cold plates built to travel across a long leg, mains that reheat in a galley oven without drying, and crew meals on the same order. Portioning is set per seat, and every item carries a printed allergen label. The kitchen preparing your order adapts the menu to oven capacity, refrigeration limits, and the length of the sector, so what leaves the ramp arrives as intended in the cabin.

Poached chicken breast with herb yoghurt and baby greens

Served cold, holds four hours in galley refrigeration, contains dairy and may contain mustard.

Braised beef short rib with root vegetables and thyme jus

Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, contains celery and sulphites.

Airside delivery

Flight catering delivered airside at Mariscal Lamar Airport

VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for departures from CUE are delivered on the same airside run, timed to your slot. Early morning business legs and afternoon long-haul departures set the rhythm; orders are packed and transferred accordingly. Badged drivers in temperature-controlled vehicles meet your FBO or hand over ramp-side at the aircraft door. For large cabins, high loader capability is confirmed at the time of order where available. The same cold-chain standards apply whether the passenger count is two or twenty, and the handover is logged against your departure time.

Seasonal produce sourced near Cuenca
Inflight catering — Ecuador

Inflight menus adapted to what the season offers at CUE

When infrastructure on the field is limited, the private jet menu adapts to what can be sourced fresh that week and delivered within the handling window. Orders for departures from CUE are planned around produce availability and the lead time required to prepare, pack, and transfer to the ramp. The inflight menu adjusts as the market changes: lighter cold plates when supply favours greens and stone fruit, warming mains when root vegetables and proteins dominate. What travels well in a galley and what holds across a long leg guide every choice, and the kitchen preparing your order works within those constraints rather than against them.
