Catering to your aircraft in Lolak.
At WAMI the day depends on weather and the departure window. Tell us the aircraft and the seat count, and we build a menu that survives the drawer, with sauces packed apart.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.

North Sulawesi eats from the sea first, and a private jet menu built at Bolaang Mongondow Airport should say so. The inflight menu for a Lolak departure leans on cakalang (skipjack tuna) and other reef and pelagic fish, cooked the Minahasan way with chilli, lemongrass and kaffir lime. Private jet food from this region travels best when the fish is grilled, the rica-rica style sambal is packed in its own pot, and the rice is portioned per seat. These local specialities of Sulawesi Utara work for private jet platters and gourmet inflight meals alike. Tropical fruit such as papaya, pineapple and salak fills out private jet snacks without needing a galley at all. For {Region} in general, the rule is simple: keep the heat in the sauce, not in the plate.
A private jet menu for Lolak starts with what the Bolaang Mongondow coast actually produces: skipjack, tuna, mackerel, coconut, corn and chilli. Inflight menu choices at WAMI work best when fish is grilled or steamed and the sambal travels separately. Private jet food from Sulawesi Utara tends to be bright, acidic and spicy, so we adjust heat per passenger and mark it on the lid. Local specialities such as cakalang fufu, woku-style fish and nasi kuning become private jet platters for the cabin and gourmet inflight meals for the table. Sulawesi Utara (North Sulawesi) fruit gives private jet snacks a clean, fresh finish for the second leg.

Bolaang Mongondow Airport (WAMI/LKM) serves Lolak on the Sulawesi Utara coast, where fishing boats set the pace of the local kitchen. Private jet catering here is built around that: grilled cakalang, clove-scented sauces, tropical fruit. The same galley-ready work applies to inflight catering for light and mid-size business jets, to in-flight catering for charter legs, and to aviation catering that reaches the apron through your handling agent. Business aviation catering for executive jet catering requests, diplomatic flight catering briefs and cabin crew meals is ordered and invoiced like any other order.
Business jet catering at LKM usually supports a small party on a light or mid-size aircraft. Corporate jet catering here is often cold plates and fruit, with a private jet chef available for a bespoke menu. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same discipline: luxury inflight catering that fits the galley, not the other way round.
When a delegation lands at Lolak, the menu is approved first, then prepared. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are labelled, sealed and handed over to the aircraft; VIP aviation catering keeps a short chain of hands.
At Lolak the kitchen leans on fish, shrimp paste, peanuts and coconut, so allergen planning starts with those four. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests are handled as special meals, each built and sealed on its own board and marked by seat. Halal is the common baseline in this part of Indonesia; kosher and strict vegan plates are cooked separately and labelled. Kids meals can drop the chilli entirely: plain grilled fish, rice, fruit.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For the crew turning at WAMI, we pack crew meals in boxes marked CREW. Flight crew meals and pilot meals can be hot or cold, and cockpit meals are easy to eat in a seat. Crew catering is a catalogue item, ordered and billed on request. Crew meal boxes suit short sectors, and different meals for pilots can be arranged so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals ride on the same order, boxed apart from the guest trays.
Plan the handover at Bolaang Mongondow around the general aviation terminal and the aircraft door. FBO catering is brought to the FBO and passed to the crew there, or taken on to the stand when your handling agent opens the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering share one plan: tail, slot, and who signs for the boxes. Small general aviation traffic means few hands on the ramp, so the name on the box and the seat labels do the work.
Most traffic at Bolaang Mongondow Airport is light and mid-size, so galley catering usually reaches the cabin door by hand or trolley rather than by high loader. Airside catering delivery at WAMI is arranged with your handling agent, who tells us how the apron works for your aircraft. Aircraft provisioning for a larger type is planned around door height and galley position, and agreed before the slot. Tell us the tail and we adjust the loading method.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

LKM is a low-lying strip on the Sulawesi Utara coast, and for airport catering the useful fact is its scale: a small apron, a short list of movements, a very local supply chain. General aviation here means light and mid-size aircraft arriving when the weather and the sea allow it.
Business aviation hub it is not, but WAMI sees charter and private traffic tied to the region, and general aviation crews know to plan their own provisioning. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here are written for small cabins. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering requests follow the aircraft's galley; diplomatic flight catering briefs and cabin crew meals are built on request, and crew meals for the pilots can sit in the same order.
Indonesia applies customs and quarantine to imported food, especially meat, dairy and produce. For airport catering at LKM, ordering locally keeps the galley compliant, which matters to any general aviation operator arriving without a local supplier. Your handling agent can confirm paperwork for FBO services and ground handling services.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at Bolaang Mongondow Airport, where 2 guests expected vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection despite several individual meal preferences. We changed the quantities of sandwiches, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the snack boxes against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. For airline catering, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“Packing a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 4 passengers at WAMI needed careful thought, especially given a small galley worktop. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the snack boxes had been grouped. We could account for the desserts before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the crew meals arrangements.”
“I wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 2 guests at LKM, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a changing departure schedule. The crew provisions supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about FBO catering. We could distinguish the desserts at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
For WAMI, the slot decides the style of service. Early departures favour chilled platters and fruit; midday legs can carry fish dishes finished in the oven. Private jet catering cost follows that choice, plus seafood availability on the day.
One product often decides the whole menu here: cakalang, salak or coconut. We lock that first, then build the rest. Last-minute orders are handled, and a substitute is offered whenever the sea or the market says no.
Indonesian customs treat catering as imported food unless it is sourced locally. At WAMI that means local catering is the easiest route. Your handling agent will confirm any permit or declaration for special cargo or unusual items.
Bringing food is possible, with customs and handling-agent rules in mind. Bring it chilled and sealed. For anything needing heat, check whether your galley has an oven at all.
Not by default. The private jet charter price covers flying. Catering at Lolak is ordered and billed as its own line. Rainy-season weather can move departures, so we keep menus flexible for it.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
