Luso Jet Catering was born from a very personal journey—one that began at 45,000 feet.
Before founding the company, Rita, the founder, spent years as a VIP flight attendant, serving UHNW individuals, heads of state, and private jet operators across Europe and beyond. Immersed daily in the world of private aviation, she developed an intimate understanding of what truly defines exceptional private jet catering: precision, discretion, consistency, and an uncompromising standard of taste.
Between long-haul flights and elite cabins, a lifelong passion for gastronomy quietly took shape. What started as a love for cooking became a vision—to redefine inflight catering in Portugal by blending fine dining sensibility with operational excellence. That vision materialized as Luso Jet Catering, a boutique aviation catering specialist designed specifically for the demands of business aviation.Strategically established around Lisbon (LPCS-CAT), Faro (LPFR-FAO), and Porto (LPPR-OPO), our core operating hubs allow us to deliver high-end jet catering with speed and reliability across the country. From Lisbon (LPPT-LIS) and Cascais (LPCS-CAT) to Faro in the Algarve (LPFR-FAO) and Porto (LPPR-OPO), our aircraft catering solutions are trusted daily by crews who expect excellence without compromise.
Our reach extends seamlessly to the islands, with bespoke catering for private jet operations in Ponta Delgada (LPPD-PDL) and Santa Maria (LPAZ-SMA) in the Azores, Terceira Island (LPLA-TER), and Funchal, Madeira (LPMA-FNC). Each in flight catering order reflects the founder’s cabin-born attention to detail—menus designed for altitude, punctual delivery, and flawless presentation.Luso Jet Catering is not a factory. It is a story of experience, taste, and trust—crafted by someone who has lived private aviation from the inside and now elevates catering private jet standards across Portugal.
