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

Palangkaraya on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at PKY

Central Kalimantan is a province of black-water rivers, and the private jet menu for Palangkaraya follows them. Patin and baung, freshwater river fish, are the local backbone of any inflight menu here; we grill or fry them and pack the sambal in its own pot so the skin stays crisp until you re-plate. Juhu singkah, the Dayak stew of rattan shoots simmered with fish, is the dish people from the region ask for first, and it travels well in a sealed container for the galley oven. That is the kind of local specialities selection we build for a private jet at Tjilik Riwut.

Private jet food in Palangkaraya leans on rice, river fish and forest vegetables rather than on anything refrigerated for long. Cold, we send private jet platters of lemongrass chicken, tempeh, fresh tropical fruit and kerupuk; hot, gourmet inflight meals such as soto banjar or ayam bakar with rice, each packed so the equatorial heat on the apron does not touch it. Private jet snacks are simple: roasted peanuts, banana fritters in sealed boxes, local fruit cut to order. The inflight menu changes with the market season, and Central Kalimantan fruit and fish set what is best that week.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Tjilik Riwut Airport (WAGG)

Tjilik Riwut Airport sits at 82 ft on the flat peat plain of Central Kalimantan, and a private jet arriving at Palangkaraya is usually bound for forest concessions, provincial government business or a delegation. Private jet catering here means food that survives equatorial heat on the apron: inflight catering packed for a galley with one oven, in-flight catering that holds cold until the plate is built, and aviation catering planned around the crew's duty day. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for the corporate cabin follow the same logic, diplomatic flight catering is cleared before cooking starts, and cabin crew meals travel in their own boxes.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Tjilik Riwut Airport (WAGG)

A business jet catering brief at WAGG is usually short: a few passengers, a corporate or charter flight, and a galley that is often small. We write corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering to that galley, with a private jet chef planning the menu and a bespoke menu built around what the market in Palangkaraya has that week. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering are done the same way, with sauces apart and the hot dishes marked for the oven.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Tjilik Riwut Airport (PKY)

When an official party flies into Palangkaraya, the menu is reviewed by the protocol office before cooking. Government flight catering here is traceable and sealed; head of state flight catering is handled by a small named team. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: nothing is changed without confirmation.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Tjilik Riwut Airport (PKY)

At Palangkaraya, special meals start from the local kitchen's reality: fish sauce, shrimp paste and peanut sit in many Indonesian dishes, so allergen free orders are cooked on a separate board and boxed apart, with the seat number on the lid and no names. Halal is the default for most of the province's cooking and kosher can be arranged sealed from a certified source; vegan, gluten free and kids meals follow the same procedure, with tofu, tempeh and rice-based options that suit the region well.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Tjilik Riwut Airport (PKY): delivery to your aircraft

Handover at Tjilik Riwut is at the FBO or at the aircraft, whichever your handling agent arranges. FBO catering means we pack for the general aviation terminal route; catering delivery to the FBO is confirmed with ground handling catering contacts, and handling agent catering instructions travel with the order.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Tjilik Riwut Airport (PKY)

Tjilik Riwut handles larger aircraft as well as business jets, so the type decides the loading: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and how much the galley can hold. For galley catering we ask for the tail and type, and airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning on a wide-body is planned by trolley and drawer, not by guesswork.

About the airportWAGG / PKY

About Tjilik Riwut Airport (WAGG): aviation catering and general aviation

Tjilik Riwut Airport serves Palangkaraya, the capital of Central Kalimantan, and carries scheduled flights alongside general aviation. Airport catering here supports that mix, and the FBO services and ground handling services on the field are what a crew deals with on the apron. For business jets the airport works as a quiet business aviation hub for the province, with forestry, mining and government trips tying most movements together. The runway lies at 82 ft on flat terrain.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Tjilik Riwut follows the province's industries, and as a business aviation hub for Central Kalimantan it sees forestry, mining and government trips. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered for those flights, with FBO services and ground handling services arranged by your handling agent. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are built for small cabins, diplomatic flight catering for official visits is cleared first, and cabin crew meals ride in their own boxes next to the crew meals for the cockpit. Rainy-season weather can shift slots, so the menu stays flexible.

Customs & food import

Indonesian customs and quarantine rules control imported fresh meat, dairy and produce, so the practical answer at Tjilik Riwut is to cook locally and seal everything. Foreign-registered aircraft should confirm the handover with the handling agent, since the FBO services and ground handling services at a regional business aviation hub like Palangkaraya depend on what that agent has cleared for the apron.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“With a changing departure schedule to consider at WAGG, we needed a practical way to serve a cold lunch with cheese and fruit to 9 passengers. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the breakfast portions against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. My main takeaway from this private jet catering menu order was the practical approach to final order confirmation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“As the person coordinating a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 9 passengers at PKY, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. The crew provisions came from The Galley Girls in stackable containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. This experience of private aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. I could hand the starters to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Working around different crew meal preferences at Tjilik Riwut Airport, I asked for a cheese board and savoury canapés in portions appropriate for our 12 passengers. For business jet catering, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the starters could be arranged during service. The snack boxes stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Questions crews ask about PalangkarayaAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg out of Palangkaraya with two services on board?+

Two meals on a long leg means roughly double the packing, so the price rises with each service you add. Local ingredients from Central Kalimantan keep a menu leaner than imported cheese or beef. You get a figure once we know the legs, the headcount and who eats what.

What is the lead time for a private jet catering order when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Passenger numbers move on charters into Central Kalimantan, and we plan for it. We keep a flexible base of platters and cooked mains so an extra four seats does not break the order. Last-minute orders are handled.

What happens with customs when a delegation or government flight needs catering at Tjilik Riwut?+

A government flight to WAGG gets a menu cleared in advance, traceable ingredients and a discreet handover. Quarantine rules cover imported meat, dairy and fruit, so we cook from Central Kalimantan produce.

Can you bring food on board yourself, or does a special-meal request for kosher, halal, allergen or a child still need us?+

If a passenger has an allergy or a strict diet, we recommend we cook it: separate board, sealed box, seat number on the lid. Food brought from elsewhere may meet customs trouble and cannot be checked for cross-contact.

Is catering part of a charter when the crew is waiting on the ground at Palangkaraya?+

Not part of the charter, no. Whatever the duty-time situation, crew meal boxes are an item you request with the catering order and pay for as listed.
