Aviation catering — Guaratinguetá, Brazil
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Guaratinguetá (SBGW / GUJ)
GUJ (IATA) · SBGW (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code governs the one runway at Guaratinguetá, so every rotation through SBGW is sequenced rather than run in parallel, and inflight catering here is planned around that one slot at a time. AERO GOURMET provides in-flight catering and aviation catering at Guaratinguetá (GUJ) by hi-loader to galley height, boarding scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights with wide-body-grade discipline on a narrow-body field, uplift by uplift, airside.

Ramp access at Guaratinguetá is the whole argument: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen and goes straight to the galley door, never set down on the apron in between. That single hand-off is what a catering uplift is measured against at SBGW, on the one runway this narrow-body station is built around. Every crossing of the ramp is logged the same way, whatever the size of the rotation waiting on stand.

Between our kitchen and the single stand at Guaratinguetá sit screening, an escort and whatever else is moving on the apron at that hour, and a narrow-body reference code at SBGW leaves no second lane to work around any of it. We plan the galley catering run against the busiest version of that ramp, not the easiest, so the chain of custody holds even when the apron does not cooperate. Temperatures are logged at sealing and again at handover, and the load carries a signature at both ends, so a catering uplift at Guaratinguetá is accountable stand-side and not just on paper.
One coordinator signs for the load, from the sealed cart to the galley door.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at GUJ
The flight kitchen provisioning airport catering in Guaratinguetá runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, built to HACCP standards from intake to seal, and staged to the single narrow-body reference code held at GUJ. Airport catering in Brazil answers to the same procedure at every field we cover, and here that means a production plan sized to one runway rather than a bank of them. Having every section under one roof is what lets a flight kitchen at SBGW commit to a fixed window instead of a variable one.
The team behind government flight catering at Guaratinguetá is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool booked in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a protocol movement requires before it is ever asked for. That standing team, rather than a specification written once and reused, is what a sealed uplift at SBGW is actually built on.
VIP flight catering menus for Guaratinguetá (GUJ) departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at SBGW
Menus at Guaratinguetá are written to the cabin and the mission before they are written to a season, so a scheduled rotation and a state movement through SBGW do not end up on the same standing order. Where local sourcing is possible we draw on the produce of the Guaratinguetá region and the wider country, orchard fruit, dairy and fish worked into the plan rather than named on it. Inflight catering here still runs on a written specification for every flight, VVIP menus included, so nothing on board depends on memory. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that same paper trail, not against the day's improvisation.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Guaratinguetá are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed in advance. VIP flight catering here follows that same document from kitchen seal to cabin service, so a repeat rotation gets the same standard as the first.

Business cabins
Business cabins routed through GUJ get multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's own galley, boxed as tray sets rather than plated loose. Crew meals in Guaratinguetá are boxed to the roster the same way, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept separate on the loading sheet.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary work at Guaratinguetá covers household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, including halal and kosher sets produced on a dedicated line and sealed before it leaves that line. The full range of IATA special meal codes is worked from the same documentation, so inflight catering at SBGW carries a paper trail a protocol officer can check on arrival.

Flight catering airside delivery at SBGW / GUJ
Guaratinguetá is a narrow-body field, one runway and one reference code, and that traffic profile turns catering into a sequencing problem rather than a capacity one: each rotation gets its own slot at the stand, worked in order rather than in parallel. Airline catering in Guaratinguetá is planned around that single slot, with ground handling covering the apron and airport catering at SBGW built stand by stand rather than assumed across several at once.
The uplift itself travels from our kitchen by sealed cart, crossing the ramp under escort and boarding by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than being set down on the apron first. Inflight catering at GUJ and aviation catering in Guaratinguetá both run off that one route, with our own badges holding ramp access for the crossing.
On every rotation through SBGW one coordinator owns the load, the carts stay sealed until the galley, and the handover carries a signature, in-flight catering in Brazil held to that same commitment wherever the runway count is this short.

Mariam — Airport Services Coordinator
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Guaratinguetá (GUJ/SBGW) and booked BBJ catering for the sector. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

What operations gets asked every week about Guaratinguetá.
Ask operations directly →Does SBGW support private jet catering delivery to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Every business aviation movement through Guaratinguetá is reached on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering covering the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike.
At what point does an order need to be placed for a rotation through Guaratinguetá, and how late can the specification change?
The lead time starts with the cabin count and the loading window at booking, and how far in advance an order should be placed depends on the mission; last minute airline catering is worked where the kitchen schedule allows it, with changes to the specification held open as close to boarding as the sealed-cart process permits.
Where does the figure for airline catering cost at Guaratinguetá come from?
The quotation is built from the loading sheet: cabin count, specification and the loading window at SBGW, since airline catering cost is never fixed to a price list and always comes back from the desk against the actual rotation.
Who signs off halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at GUJ?
For every passenger requiring one, halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are produced on a dedicated line and documented per seat, so special meals travel with the same paper trail as the rest of the uplift.
