Private jet chef — Sena Garcia

When the sector stretches beyond six hours, Sena Garcia plans the menu around how each dish holds at altitude. Cold preparations are sealed in the final hour before loading; hot mains are packed with reheating steps written for your galley. For two-service flights, a second round—cheese, fruit, pastries—is boxed separately and labelled by service sequence. Crew meals travel on the same order, portioned and packed to the same standard. Sena Garcia answers directly: send your departure slot, passenger count, and any restrictions, and the proposal is returned the same day.

How to order flight catering for departures from ESM

Smaller aircraft with limited galley space require tighter coordination. ESM has modest handling infrastructure; orders are typically placed seventy-two hours before departure to allow production, packing, and airside transfer. Late changes—an added passenger, a revised ETA—are absorbed where the kitchen schedule and delivery run permit. To order private jet catering, send your departure time, passenger count, and any dietary restrictions. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours, with final menu confirmation and delivery slot aligned to your pre-flight checks.

Jet catering Tachina

With no on-site catering infrastructure at Carlos Concha Torres International Airport (ESM / SETN), your private aviation catering is prepared in a dedicated facility equipped to handle same-day production when lead time allows. The kitchen preparing your order maintains separate cold rooms for proteins, dairy, and prepared dishes, with documented allergen protocols on every label. Pâtisserie and garde-manger posts work to your departure slot, plating is sealed immediately after finishing, and cold-chain control runs through every stage. Tachina's limited handling hours mean earlier coordination matters—your flight attendant and ops team should confirm orders further ahead than at busier fields. Business aviation catering here is timed around the realities of a smaller airport, where planning replaces infrastructure and kitchens adapt to the schedule you set, not the reverse.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery and flight catering operations at ESM

On sectors of eight hours or longer, dishes are chosen for how they hold. Cold plates—cured proteins, grain salads, chilled soups—travel sealed and ready to serve. Hot mains reheat in the galley oven; timing and oven capacity are confirmed with your crew before loading. Crew meals follow the same cold chain. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering share the same airside run, delivered by badged drivers in temperature-controlled vehicles to your FBO or directly to the aircraft door. High loader service is available where ramp access permits, confirmed at the time of order.

Inflight catering — Ecuador

Flight catering at ESM: seasonal ordering and inflight menus

Your inflight menu at ESM reflects what the market gives each month. Cooler months bring root vegetables and hearty greens; warmer weeks shift the balance toward lighter salads and stone fruit. A private jet menu ordered three days ahead allows the kitchen preparing your order to source produce at its peak. Same-day requests are typically accommodated, though choice narrows as the window closes. Late adjustments—swapping a garnish, adding crew meals—are absorbed on your schedule where kitchen capacity and cold-chain timing allow.
