Catering to your aircraft in Ketapang.
At WIOK the pace follows the mining and government traffic of Kalimantan Barat. Private jet catering here is cooked locally, labelled by seat and handed over at the aircraft.
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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Ketapang looks out on the Kalimantan coast, so the private jet menu here starts with what comes off the boats: prawns, snapper, squid, and the freshwater fish of the rivers inland. Local specialities travel well when you plan for the galley. Grilled fish in sambal arrives with the sauce apart, rice is packed warm, and the greens stay chilled until you plate.
Our inflight menu for Kalimantan Barat draws on Malay, Dayak and Chinese-Indonesian cooking, all of which show up in West Kalimantan. Think chicken satay with peanut sauce in its own pot, nasi goreng built for the oven, and fruit from the region such as pineapple and rambutan. Private jet food here does not need to be rebuilt, only portioned by seat.
Private jet platters for Ketapang are built around shared grazing: skewers, steamed dumplings, fresh cut fruit. Gourmet inflight meals follow the local table, with chilled seafood salads and rice dishes that finish in a galley oven. Private jet snacks are kept simple: dried banana chips, kerupuk, roasted nuts. Every item is a local speciality that holds up in a cabin.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Rahadi Osman Airport sits at 46 ft on the west coast of Borneo, a regional field in Kalimantan Barat whose business traffic leans on mining, plantation and government sectors. Private jet catering here is built for that mix: a corporate party on a charter, a delegation on a state visit, a crew waiting on the apron. We cook and pack for your galley, and you re-plate. For inflight catering and in-flight catering into KTG, we work from what your aircraft carries. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered and invoiced like any other order, as is executive jet catering for owners. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared with protocol first, and cabin crew meals are packed apart from guest trays.
Charter flight catering at KTG covers a small group on a day trip or an overnight. We offer business jet catering and corporate jet catering for operators, VIP flight catering for principals, and luxury inflight catering for owners. A private jet chef builds the bespoke menu around what your galley can finish.
When a delegation lands at Ketapang, government flight catering follows protocol: a cleared menu, a named team, a traceable chain. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are handled with discretion, and state visit aircraft catering is agreed with the handling agent in advance.
Special meals at Ketapang are a procedure built around the local kitchen. Halal is the baseline in much of Kalimantan Barat, so halal and kosher requests are handled with a separate board and sealed packaging, and vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked apart from fish sauce, shrimp paste and soy, which hide in many regional sambals. Allergen free and kids meals follow the same rule: ask early, we label by seat.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For crews waiting at WIOK, crew meals are a separate order, on request. Flight crew meals come boxed, pilot meals and cockpit meals are built to eat quickly between checks, and crew catering is kept apart from guest trays. Crew meal boxes carry the seat number, and different meals for pilots are available where the operator's policy asks for it.
Ketapang has no large apron operation, so FBO catering here is a short hand-off: the handling agent meets the aircraft, opens the airside access and takes the boxes up to the cabin door. We prepare the order for WIOK on your slot, and ground handling catering stays with that one agent, so there is a single contact for the whole load. If your party uses the general aviation terminal instead, catering delivery to the FBO side is confirmed with the same agent, and handling agent catering never involves a second vehicle.
Aircraft at Rahadi Osman are mostly turboprops and light to mid-size jets, so galley catering is usually handed up by hand through the cabin door, no high loader needed. For larger charters, airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, who coordinates the vehicle and access. We plan aircraft provisioning around the galley you actually have, not an idealised one.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Rahadi Osman Airport serves Ketapang and the surrounding regency in West Kalimantan. Airport catering for private flights is a small part of its traffic, mostly general aviation, charter, and government sorties. FBO services and ground handling services are limited and arranged through your handling agent.
Business aviation hub is a generous term for Ketapang, but the field sees turboprops, light jets and the occasional corporate charter. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are built around what your galley can finish. Aviation catering for business aviation catering sorties and executive jet catering for owners are ordered and invoiced as any other. For diplomatic flight catering, the menu goes to protocol before anything is cooked, and cabin crew meals travel in their own boxes, separate from the guest trays.
Indonesian customs apply strict rules to animal and plant products brought in by air. At KTG, ordering local catering means nothing is imported, and your handling agent can confirm the paperwork for any equipment.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The cabin briefing at Rahadi Osman Airport included 11 passenger meals, a request for prawn salad and small fruit plates, and instructions addressing a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. I want an aviation catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The note about the fruit plates was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”
“My order at WIOK covered herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 4 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a revised passenger count. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience. The side dishes from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the canapés properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Between cabin checks at KTG, I coordinated mushroom risotto and a green salad for 10 guests and explained our concerns about a changing departure schedule. My main takeaway from this flight catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the starters listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
Rather than a single figure, you receive a menu built for your flight, with each component priced. Local fish, rendang and fruit sit at different levels; a state visit adds protocol steps. The private jet catering quote arrives by email.
Kosher and strictly allergen free meals take the most planning at Ketapang, because we source and seal them separately. Tell us early which seats need what; last-minute special meal requests are handled, though the range of options is wider when you ask ahead.
Duty time and waiting around are the real issue for crews at Rahadi Osman, and customs is what makes loaded-from-home food awkward. Local catering is the simple way round: no declaration, no discard bin.
Bringing your own food is allowed in principle, though customs may take anything from abroad. A departure slot in Ketapang is fixed, and local catering handed to your handling agent removes the risk of a delay.
No, catering sits apart from the charter agreement. At Rahadi Osman you add a menu, and we can feature a Kalimantan product such as pineapple or coastal prawns as a local highlight, billed as its own line.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
