Private Jet Catering at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (SEQM / UIO), Quito
Prepared for long sectors, your inflight catering at UIO in Quito includes dishes that hold over multi-hour cruise, second-service planning, and crew meals on the same order—all delivered airside with cold-chain control.
You will not send the same instruction twice. Lea Garcia answers your first message and stays your contact through delivery: the brief you send is the one she cooks to. Changes are typically absorbed up to twelve hours before your slot, on your schedule, not a fixed grid. She builds each order around what can be sourced that week and what will hold through the sector you fly—cold service for a daylight leg, reheatable mains for evening departures, crew meals labelled and packed separately on request.
Lea Garcia brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation, combining classical French techniques with contemporary global influences. Her expertise lies in crafting elegant, multi-course menus that elevate the in-flight dining experience to restaurant-quality standards.
The rhythm of aviation catering in Quito follows the airport's departure patterns: early-morning slots for Europe-bound flights, midday charters to the Galápagos, and evening departures toward North America and Asia. Chef Lea Garcia schedules production to align with these windows, starting prep before dawn for breakfast service and coordinating late-afternoon dispatch for overnight sectors. Delivery runs are timed around refuelling queues and customs clearance, particularly during high season when charter traffic increases. Your crew receives a briefing note with each order, covering oven capacity, refrigeration limits for your aircraft type, and reheating instructions for hot items. Handling agents at the FBO coordinate ramp access and communicate any slot changes that affect load timing, ensuring your inflight menu boards when the aircraft is ready, not before.
