Private Jet Catering Cascavel (SBCA / CAC) and Divinópolis (SNDV / DIQ): Crew and Passenger Guide
Private jet catering in Cascavel (SBCA / CAC) and Divinópolis (SNDV / DIQ) brings the Global Diners menu to two regional airports that matter more than their size suggests. Cascavel is the business capital of western Paraná, a region shaped by grain, cooperatives and agricultural technology. Divinópolis sits in the Centro-Oeste of Minas Gerais, close to the clothing and metalworking companies of the region and to the lakes and canyons of Capitólio. Both welcome executives, buyers, farming families and weekend travellers, and both deserve the same calm, galley-ready service as any major hub.
Global Diners prepares VVIP inflight catering in our own kitchens in Paris, Nice and Madrid and in our kitchens across more than 2,500 airports. In Brazil, Cascavel (SBCA / CAC) and Divinópolis (SNDV / DIQ) join a network that also includes Curitiba (SBCT / CWB), Foz do Iguaçu (SBFI / IGU) and Belo Horizonte (SBCF / CNF). This guide is written for both audiences on board: the crew who plan the galley, and the passengers who simply want to enjoy a good meal between meetings, farms and family weekends.
Two regional airports with a strong business pulse
Cascavel lies on the fertile plateau of western Paraná, at the crossroads of highways that link the grain belt with the port of Paranaguá and the border region around Foz do Iguaçu. Cooperatives, agricultural machinery dealers, seed companies and food processors bring a steady flow of business aircraft, especially around Show Rural in February and through the soybean and corn harvests. Many flights are short regional hops to Curitiba, São Paulo or neighbouring farm towns, followed by a quick turnaround for the return leg.
Divinópolis, about two hours west of Belo Horizonte by road, has a different rhythm. The city is known across Minas Gerais for its clothing industry and metalworking, and business visitors come to meet manufacturers, buyers and suppliers. At weekends and during holidays, the airport also serves families and groups heading to Capitólio and the Furnas lake, one of the most popular leisure destinations in the state. Flights here tend to be short, informal and friendly, and the catering should feel the same.
Cascavel (SBCA / CAC): agribusiness meetings, Show Rural visits, harvest-season trips, and regional connections across Paraná.
Divinópolis (SNDV / DIQ): fashion and industry visits, Capitólio weekends, July holidays and year-end family travel.
One process for both: one Global Diners menu, a dedicated quote for each request, and orders through order@globaldiners.com.
What crews need to know before ordering
Regional airports reward good planning. At both Cascavel and Divinópolis, our specialised team recommends ordering 24 hours ahead, and a little earlier during Show Rural, the harvest peaks or the Capitólio summer season. Share the aircraft registration, date, delivery time and passenger count, together with any dietary needs, and our team confirms the menu with a dedicated quote and a written confirmation.
Delivery is always coordinated with your FBO or handler. At Cascavel, the business aviation operators listed in our FBO guide below welcome crews regularly. At Divinópolis, where general aviation services are smaller, our team agrees the delivery time and place directly with your handler, so that everything arrives calmly before the passengers do. Our article on how handling agents and caterers coordinate explains why that early conversation makes such a difference.

On a regional flight, the best catering is the one the crew never has to think about twice: labelled, portioned and ready the moment the door closes.
Regional flavours from western Paraná
Western Paraná was settled largely by families from Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, and its table carries a strong gaúcho and European colonial stamp. Churrasco is part of daily life, and slow-roasted beef ribs are a regional pride. Sliced cold, beef from the grill makes excellent cabin sandwiches and cold platters; packed for reheating, it becomes a generous main course for the return leg. Tilapia, farmed widely in the region, is light and delicate when grilled, and colonial cakes, breads and preserves reflect the German and Italian heritage of many local families.
For passengers who prefer international dishes, the full Global Diners menu remains available: smoked salmon, caviar, cheese and pastries from our menu card, as well as chicken, fish and vegetable dishes prepared for galley ovens. Many crews like to combine the two, with a regional starter or snack and a familiar main course.
Mineiro comfort food from Divinópolis
Minas Gerais has one of Brazil's most loved home-cooking traditions, and Divinópolis follows it faithfully. Pão de queijo, the chewy cheese bread made with cassava starch, is the obvious choice for breakfast and afternoon coffee, and it travels well when baked shortly before delivery. Quitandas, the baked goods served with coffee in every Mineiro home, include cornmeal broas, polvilho biscuits and sweet roscas. Frango caipira, free-range chicken slowly stewed, and feijão tropeiro, beans with cassava flour, sausage and greens, bring real local character to a warm main course.
Minas cheeses, from fresh queijo minas to aged artisanal styles, pair beautifully with goiabada, the firm guava paste that Brazilians call Romeu e Julieta when served together. Doce de leite completes the picture. A small Mineiro coffee service of pão de queijo, cheese, guava paste and a good Brazilian coffee is one of the most appreciated touches on a short flight from Divinópolis (SNDV / DIQ).
Breakfast: pão de queijo, quitandas, fresh fruit and Brazilian coffee.
Light lunch: sandwiches with Minas cheese, salads, chicken and seasonal vegetables.
Warm main course: frango caipira or grilled beef, packed with reheating guidance.
Dessert: doce de leite, guava paste with cheese, and pastries from the Global Diners menu card.
Halal, kosher and alcohol-free menus on regional flights
Regional flights carry international visitors as often as local families. Halal, kosher and alcohol-free menus are available at both airports, together with vegan and vegetarian dishes, and every item carries an allergen label. Brazilian wines from the Serra Gaúcha, including its well-regarded sparkling wines, are offered subject to local rules, and fresh juices such as passion fruit, cashew fruit and orange make delicious alcohol-free alternatives. Coconut water and guaraná are always popular in the warmer months.
Restaurant pick-ups can also be coordinated on request, for example from a favourite churrascaria in Cascavel. Our team simply builds the transfer time into the schedule and agrees the delivery with your FBO or handler. For crews spending a night or two in the region, our guide to crew catering on layovers shares practical ideas.
Connecting Cascavel and Divinópolis with the rest of Brazil
Few itineraries end at a regional airport. Cascavel often connects with Curitiba (SBCT / CWB) for meetings in the state capital, or with Foz do Iguaçu (SBFI / IGU) for guests who want to see the Iguaçu Falls. Divinópolis is a natural companion to Belo Horizonte (SBCF / CNF), the main gateway to Minas Gerais. Our team can prepare the catering for every leg in one request, so the crew receives a coherent menu across the whole trip rather than a series of separate orders.
Our article on coordinating aviation catering worldwide describes the same approach on a global scale. We are also pleased to share that our new stations at Querétaro (MMQT / QRO) and Buenos Aires Ezeiza (SAEZ / EZE) have received very positive feedback from crews, a sign that Latin American routes are a growing part of the Global Diners story.
Coming very soon: the client portal and crew training
The Global Diners client portal is coming very soon. It is designed to bring the Global Diners menu, order requests, confirmations and documents into one space for crew, operations and finance. Until it opens, every request goes through order@globaldiners.com.
A Global Diners crew training programme will also launch soon, designed for the cabin crews and flight departments who fly with us, from regional Brazilian airports to the largest hubs in our network.
Key Dates for Business Aviation Catering at Cascavel (SBCA / CAC)
Cascavel's busy periods are set by agriculture. February brings Show Rural, one of Brazil's major farm technology fairs, filling hotels and restaurants and putting more business aircraft on the apron. The soybean harvest runs from January into April and the second corn crop in mid-year, keeping traders and cooperative staff on the move. Winter brings crisp, cool mornings on the plateau, and our team simply plans delivery times with your handler. Order earlier than the standard 24 hours during fair week and harvest, confirm passenger counts as soon as you can, agree timings with your handler and favour items that keep well, such as sandwiches, salads and baked goods.
Event | When | Where |
Show Rural Coopavel | February | Cascavel |
Soybean harvest | January to April | Western Paraná |
Second-crop corn harvest | June to August | Western Paraná |
Cool winter season | June to August | Cascavel plateau |
Christmas and New Year holidays | Late December to early January | Nationwide |
Show Rural Coopavel at Cascavel (SBCA / CAC): February
Show Rural is a large agricultural technology fair on the outskirts of Cascavel, showcasing seeds, machinery, livestock and research to tens of thousands of visitors. Executives from agribusiness, banks and equipment makers fly in for meetings and site visits, so the apron is unusually busy. Book catering several days ahead and send final numbers early. Sealed lunch boxes work for groups going straight to the showground, and cold boards with regional cheeses and cured meats suit the evening flights home.
Fair dates and harvest timing shift from season to season, so do confirm the current year's calendar with our team when you place an order.
Things to do around Cascavel (SBCA / CAC)
Cascavel is a working agricultural city with wide avenues and plenty of green space. Lago Municipal is a large lake and park in the city, used for walking, cycling and weekend picnics, and the zoo sits close by. The surrounding countryside is dotted with cooperatives, farms and agro-industrial sites, some of which run visits for business groups. Many visitors combine a stay with the Iguaçu Falls and the Itaipu Dam, around two hours west by road. Lakes formed by the Iguaçu river reservoirs offer fishing and boating for those staying longer.
Culture and heritage near Cascavel (SBCA / CAC)
Cascavel was settled mainly from the 1930s onwards, as timber and then farming drew families from southern Brazil. The city grew fast in the second half of the twentieth century around agribusiness and cooperatives. Its cultural life reflects gaúcho traditions, with Centres of Gaúcho Traditions hosting dances and music, alongside Italian and German colonial customs. A municipal museum and the cathedral are the main heritage stops in the centre.
Also in this guide: Divinópolis (SNDV / DIQ)
Brigadeiro Cabral Airport serves Divinópolis, the main city of the Centro-Oeste region of Minas Gerais, west of Belo Horizonte. Traffic is modest and practical: corporate flights linked to the city's large clothing and fashion industry, metalworking and foundries, healthcare and regional commerce, along with agribusiness and private owners. It is also a useful airfield for leisure visitors heading to the Furnas lake and the canyons of Capitólio, known as the 'sea of Minas', and to the Serra da Canastra further west. Weekday business traffic is steady, and summer and July holiday weekends bring more leisure flights.
The Furnas lake, created by a hydroelectric dam, is the region's top leisure destination. In Capitólio, boat trips pass through narrow canyons with waterfalls, and lookouts give wide views over the lake. Many visitors rent lake houses or stay in pousadas for swimming, fishing and paddle sports. The Serra da Canastra national park, further west, has the source of the São Francisco river and the Casca d'Anta waterfall. Closer to Divinópolis, the countryside offers farm visits, cachaça distilleries and cheese makers, and the city's parks are pleasant for walking. Sunsets over the lake are a highlight.
