Aviation catering — Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Pedro Juan Caballero (SGPJ / PJC)
PJC (IATA) · SGPJ (ICAO)
At Pedro Juan Caballero, a 1801 m runway sets a narrow-body ceiling on the traffic our kitchen provisions, and every rotation through it is worked to the same standard. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here, with hi-loader boarding to galley height and uplift staged for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
In-flight catering loading window at Pedro Juan Caballero
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at SGPJ / PJC
Sealing at our kitchen through to handover at the galley door is measured, not estimated, on every rotation through Pedro Juan Caballero. Ramp access is held on our own badges rather than requested stand by stand, which keeps the convoy moving once it clears the apron gate. What the timeline below shows is the sequence itself: seal, escort, hi-loader, signature, in that order, every catering uplift the same way.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Pedro Juan Caballero sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the best. The chain of custody runs on paper as much as on the ramp: a seal number is logged when the cart leaves the kitchen and checked again at the galley door before anyone signs for the load. That signature is what closes a rotation here, not the delivery time.
Galley catering handed over without a matching seal number does not board; the escort holds it at the foot of the hi-loader until the log is corrected. That discipline is what a narrow-body reference code and a single runway ask of a station with no room for a second attempt.
One seal, one signature, one kitchen: the load is accounted for end to end.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for SGPJ / PJC
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at SGPJ / PJC
Airport catering in Pedro Juan Caballero runs from a single production line built for narrow-body volume rather than for a wide-body peak, so hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, close enough to the ramp to keep the cold chain intact. That footprint is what lets flight kitchen at PJC hold a HACCP standard on every tray leaving the building, whatever the mission on the stand that day. Airport catering here is planned around one runway and one approach, which is exactly why the sequence from seal to stand is fixed rather than improvised.
Government flight catering at Pedro Juan Caballero is handled by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen's protocol cell, and is trained to the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift rather than behind it. That continuity is what a single-runway station without a second production line depends on for catering at SGPJ to stay accountable movement after movement.
Halal airline meals and special meals at SGPJ
VVIP catering to a written specification at Pedro Juan Caballero
Menus for Pedro Juan Caballero are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, not the other way round. Where local sourcing applies, the kitchen draws on Paraguay's dairy, orchard fruit and river fish rather than an imported standing list, which keeps inflight catering in Paraguay closer to what is actually in season on the day of the rotation. From a VIP flight menu down to a passenger meal box, the same specification sheet follows the tray through production. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, and travel sealed with the load rather than as a separate delivery.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins routed through Pedro Juan Caballero are plated to a written specification rather than to a general standing menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation reads the same on the second visit as on the first.
Business cabins
Business cabins at PJC take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand that day. Crew meals in Pedro Juan Caballero, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements for SGPJ are documented per passenger before the kitchen starts production, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Pedro Juan Caballero built to a household or religious specification is produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the rest of the load.

Aviation catering delivered to the stand at Pedro Juan Caballero (PJC)
Pedro Juan Caballero carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body-rated runway, which means every rotation is planned as an individual movement rather than absorbed into a bank of parallel departures. A government delegation here is a documentation problem before it is a volume one, and a charter peak is a capacity problem the kitchen has to size for in advance rather than on the day.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand under escort, sealed at departure and checked again at the galley door, with our own cleared drivers on the ramp rather than a rotating pool. Airline catering in Pedro Juan Caballero and airport catering at PJC both run off the same ops desk, so a schedule change on one flight does not require a second briefing for the crew handling the next.
On this station we commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts throughout, and a signed handover at the aircraft, whatever the mission on the stand that day.
Aviation catering for five mission types at PJC
01
Government and state flight catering at Pedro Juan Caballero
A 1801 m runway, and every head of state movement through it is worked as a single planned event rather than folded into the day's schedule. Government flight catering at SGPJ for state visits and official delegations means the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SGPJ
Our kitchen holds household standards across repeat rotations even where the aerodrome reference code caps the traffic at narrow-body, working from a written specification kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt each time. Royal flight catering at Pedro Juan Caballero extends to private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP — with halal and household requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at PJC
A single narrow-body-rated runway defines the scale of charter movement that Pedro Juan Caballero can take on any given day, and the kitchen sizes its production to that ceiling rather than to an assumed peak. Charter flight catering in Paraguay for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions means a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order; charter flight catering at SGPJ is planned the same way whatever the season.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Pedro Juan Caballero
A 1801 m runway sets what can divert into Pedro Juan Caballero on short notice, and that ceiling is exactly what an outstation desk has to plan an ad hoc airline catering order around. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with the tray standard held constant even as the menu cycle moves week to week.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at SGPJ
A business jet using the same 1801 m runway as the scheduled traffic here is worked from the GA terminal side of the field rather than from the main apron, though the kitchen behind it is the same one. Private jet catering in Paraguay reaches the FBOs on the field through FBO catering and business aviation catering on the identical cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with business jet catering following the same sealed handover.

Aircraft catering questions at Pedro Juan Caballero (PJC)
Crew meals, lead times and access at SGPJ
What operations gets asked every week about Pedro Juan Caballero.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering reach the aircraft in Pedro Juan Caballero?
The seal log on every cart shows the answer: airside delivery runs straight to the stand, and the uplift is boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed over at the foot of the steps.
How far in advance does an order need to be placed at Pedro Juan Caballero Airport?
The clearance our crews hold sets the floor on how late a change can be accepted; the lead time depends on the cabin count and specification, and last minute airline catering is worked case by case against the loading window still open.
At which point are halal and kosher sets confirmed for a rotation through PJC?
The specification sheet is fixed before production starts, so halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are logged against the passenger list at that first step and produced on a separate line.
Whose FBO gets served when private jet catering is ordered at SGPJ?
Across the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike, private jet catering follows the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with no distinction drawn by which apron the aircraft is parked on.
Are prices for airline catering fixed at Pedro Juan Caballero?
The coordinator assigned to a rotation builds the airline catering cost from the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than from a published list, and the desk returns a quotation once those are confirmed.
