Private jet catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (WALS / AAP), Samarinda

Catering to your aircraft in Samarinda.

Samarinda flights tend to be working trips into East Kalimantan, so food has to hold in humidity and survive a changed slot. We build the order around your aircraft and hand it to the FBO or handling agent.

Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Samarinda on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at AAP

East Kalimantan cooks from the Mahakam. The river gives ikan patin, a catfish usually served in a sour-and-spicy yellow broth, and udang galah, the giant freshwater prawn that grills well and travels better than most shellfish. For a private jet menu out of Samarinda, these are the local specialities worth asking for. Amplang, crunchy fish crackers from the region, make a dry private jet snack that survives any galley. An inflight menu here can also lean on tropical fruit such as langsat and cempedak in season, plus nasi kuning for a plated hot dish. Private jet food from Kalimantan Timur is spiced but rarely extreme, which suits mixed cabins. We keep sambal in a separate pot so each passenger sets the heat, and fish is packed so it can be finished in a small galley oven without drying out. If you tell us the tail and the headcount, we write the private jet menu around what is fresh that week in Samarinda.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (WALS)

Samarinda sits on the Mahakam river, and the menus that work out of WALS lean on its freshwater fish and the coal-and-timber traffic that fills the apron. Private jet catering here means planning around humid heat in the galley and a short list of local suppliers. For inflight catering and aviation catering we build to the aircraft, not to a template. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same discipline, and cabin crew meals are packed alongside the guest trays.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (AAP)

Business jet catering at Samarinda mostly serves executives travelling to coal, timber and plantation sites. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here favour dishes that tolerate humidity: grilled prawn, fish in broth with sauce apart, rice served warm. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu for charter flight catering, and luxury inflight catering stays simple, since small galleys limit what can be finished onboard.

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport

Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering use a named team and quiet handover, and VIP aviation catering stays discreet, with no passenger names on labels.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (WALS)

Special meals at Samarinda start with the local kitchen: fish sauce, shrimp paste and peanut appear in many regional dishes, so allergen free and gluten free requests are checked dish by dish. Halal is the default for most local suppliers, kosher needs separate sourcing and is confirmed against your request, and vegan and kids meals are built from tempeh, tofu, rice and fruit.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Samarinda (WALS)

On a long day at WALS the crew eats last, so we plan for that. Crew meals are ordered on request and billed with the rest; flight crew meals and pilot meals sit in their own boxes. Crew catering is adapted to the stop, cockpit meals are easy to eat in a seat, and crew meal boxes carry seat or role markers. If the operator's policy asks for different meals for pilots, we cook two dishes. Cabin crew meals stay with the crew set.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport

We pass the order to the FBO and your handling agent, who meet the aircraft with it. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are agreed ahead with the general aviation terminal, ground handling catering stays sealed and marked, and handling agent catering is confirmed by phone or email.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (AAP)

Aircraft that sit on the WALS apron range from turboprops to larger charters, and the galley decides how we pack. A large cabin may need a high loader for galley catering, while a light jet is loaded by hand. We plan airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning around the door height and the number of carts or boxes your tail takes.

About the airportWALS / AAP

About Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (AAP): airport catering for business aviation

Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International serves Samarinda and the Mahakam basin, with a runway used by regional and charter traffic. For airport catering it is a small field where handover is simple and coordination with ground staff is direct.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is too grand a label, but WALS carries steady corporate and resource-sector traffic. General aviation and FBO services are modest, ground handling services are arranged per flight, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are built to each aircraft. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same plan, diplomatic flight catering is cleared with protocol, and cabin crew meals ride with the order.

Customs & food import

Food entering Indonesia is checked by customs, especially animal products and fresh items. Catering prepared locally and passed sealed to the aircraft sidesteps most restrictions, which is why we source in East Kalimantan wherever we can.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Several practical details needed attention at AAP, with a charcuterie board and fresh bread requested for 4 guests and a revised passenger count to accommodate. For our team, the strongest part of their business aviation catering was how they handled final order confirmation. The Galley Girls grouped the salads by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Rather than an elaborate service at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport, our 7 guests wanted a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables, organised sensibly around a family lunch request. The snack boxes came from The Galley Girls in individual containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. I appreciated the emphasis on crew briefing throughout the jet catering arrangements.”

Rebecca H. | FBO operator

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“We kept the passenger brief simple at WALS: mushroom risotto and a green salad for 11 guests, organised with a tight boarding window in mind. The Galley Girls labelled the canapés in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the sauces without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I would discuss VIP flight catering with them again, especially when portion planning needs careful coordination.”

Before you order at WALSAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Samarinda, and what do Indonesian food-import rules change?+

A short local menu from East Kalimantan costs far less than a mixed international one. Customs rules on imported food in Indonesia make the local route the sensible default, and we quote per menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at WALS, and does the aircraft's galley change it?+

A narrow galley means a simpler order, which is also easier to arrange late. We handle last-minute orders at WALS and design to the aircraft in front of us.

What do customs involve for catering at Samarinda, and how does the season affect departures?+

Locally made meals clear without fuss. Weather in the Mahakam basin decides when jets leave, and we choose dishes that hold through delays.

Can you bring food from home on a return leg from Samarinda, or order for the way back?+

Order the way back from here and it is boxed and marked for the next sector. Personal food from another country may be stopped at customs, which is why many crews order locally.

Is catering part of a charter departing from Samarinda at night or early morning?+

Catering sits outside a private jet charter contract; it is ordered and billed separately. Night and early departures from Samarinda are handled by agreeing the handover with your handling agent.
