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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Kerteh (KTE)

Terengganu is Malay East Coast cooking: fish, coconut, rice, and a lot of sambal. A private jet menu for Kerteh draws on that without pretending the galley is a restaurant. Our inflight menu for WMKE leans on local specialities that travel: keropok lekor, the fish sausage of the state, sliced and packed with its chilli sauce in a separate pot; nasi dagang, the rice steamed in coconut milk, packed with its tuna gulai kept apart so the grains stay dry; and ayam percik, grilled chicken in a coconut marinade, best finished in the oven. Private jet food in Terengganu is rich, so we balance it with fresh fruit and a cold salad. For the cabin we compose private jet platters of local kuih, gourmet inflight meals built on gulai and grilled fish, and private jet snacks like fish crackers and fresh coconut sweets. These local specialities come from Terengganu, and the same menu discipline applies as at any airport.

A private jet menu for Kerteh starts from the East Coast table. In Terengganu the base is rice, fish and coconut, and the inflight menu we write for WMKE respects that. Local specialities that fly well include satay celup-free grilled skewers with peanut sauce on the side, laksam, a thick rolled-noodle dish packed cold with its white gravy apart, and nasi kerabu, the blue rice eaten with raw herbs and salted egg, served chilled. Private jet food from this part of Terengganu depends on keeping wet and dry components separate, so sauces travel in their own pots and herbs go in a sealed tray. Our private jet platters pair fruit and kuih. Gourmet inflight meals take the gulai and grilled fish. Private jet snacks are crackers, nuts and coconut sweets. They are real local specialities, packed for a galley.

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

The runway at WMKE is short work for most business jets, but the hard part of a Kerteh turnaround is the food: Terengganu cooking is spiced, saucy and coconut-heavy, and it has to survive a galley. Our private jet catering for Kerteh Airport solves that on the ground, with gravies apart and rice packed dry. Inflight catering for KTE crews is delivered to the FBO or your handling agent. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering all follow one order. In-flight catering for state movements, diplomatic flight catering included, goes through the protocol office. Cabin crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced separately.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Kerteh Airport

A typical Kerteh brief for business jet catering is short: two to six passengers, one oven, a light midsize jet. Corporate jet catering here follows the energy-sector traffic, and VIP flight catering is often a single hot dish plus fruit. For charter flight catering we adapt to the operator's galley. Luxury inflight catering uses fresh Terengganu fish and coconut, a private jet chef plans around the oven, and a bespoke menu is written once the headcount is known.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Kerteh Airport (KTE)

Kerteh cooking leans on coconut milk, shrimp paste, fish sauce and peanuts, so allergens hide in places a passenger would not expect. Special meals for Kerteh are handled as a procedure: halal is the default in Terengganu, kosher is sourced sealed and kept closed, vegan menus avoid belacan and fish sauce, gluten free means rice-based dishes cooked on separate boards, allergen free orders are packed in separate boxes marked by seat, and kids meals are mild, with the sambal left out.

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Kerteh Airport

At WMKE the food reaches the aircraft through the FBO. FBO catering is booked with the slot, catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is confirmed with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the apron rules. Handling agent catering keeps the handover to one person.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Kerteh Airport (KTE)

Aircraft type decides how the load reaches the cabin at WMKE. A light or midsize jet takes its boxes through the airstair door by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader, which your handling agent arranges. Galley catering is packed to the galley you actually fly: one oven, a drawer, limited chiller space. Airside catering delivery is made at the apron through the FBO, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail and the type before anything is cooked.

About the airportWMKE / KTE

Aviation catering and business aviation at Kerteh Airport (KTE)

WMKE is a compact airport in Terengganu where general aviation traffic is mostly operational. Airport catering is arranged through the FBO, FBO services are straightforward, and ground handling services are provided by your handling agent. It works as a small business aviation hub.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Kerteh is shaped by oil and gas rotations and by Terengganu's seasons. Inflight catering is lighter in the monsoon months, when weather can change a slot, and in-flight catering plans allow for that. Aviation catering for charter and private flights stays flexible, executive jet catering follows the aircraft, and cabin crew meals are on request. Diplomatic flight catering is rare here and always cleared first.

Customs & food import

Malaysian customs apply food import rules at WMKE: animal products and fresh produce are controlled. The practical result for your order is that Kerteh catering is bought locally, and your handling agent advises on any food that remains on the aircraft.

★★★★★CHARTER
“Having 5 guests request a cheese board and savoury canapés at Kerteh Airport meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a short ground stop. With jet catering, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the fruit plates readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the canapés properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
Luis Q. | Charter operator

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET
“Good preparation made the difference at WMKE, where 11 guests expected chicken skewers with a couscous salad despite several individual meal preferences. The starters came from The Galley Girls in divided catering boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. The snack boxes were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. For our team, the strongest part of their VIP flight catering was how they handled storage requirements.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“My order at KTE covered smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 2 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of an evening cabin service. I asked The Galley Girls for the salads in compact food boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. The main courses stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. This experience of charter flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”

Ordering for WMKE, in shortAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost when the aircraft repositions into Kerteh with an empty cabin?+

An empty positioning flight into WMKE does not make the catering free or fixed. Cost is set by the menu you pick: a rice dish with tuna gulai for the crew, or a platter for guests. We price each order line by line and send it before the slot.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Kerteh if I want a local product on the menu?+

A product like keropok lekor is made in the state, which helps when your slot moves. The lead time for private jet catering at WMKE depends on whether the menu is local or imported, and late changes are accepted.

What about customs when an empty aircraft flies into Kerteh for a catering pick-up?+

Arriving empty at Kerteh means customs see an aircraft with little cargo, but any leftover food on board is subject to Malaysian rules and is often discarded. Ordering local catering on the ground gives you a galley that complies from the start.

Can you bring food of your own on a short positioning flight to Kerteh?+

Technically yes, but it is rarely worth it. Bringing your own food into Kerteh risks it being held at customs, and the local alternative is better. Terengganu fish, coconut rice and fruit are fresh and ready for the galley.

Is catering part of a charter into Kerteh when the aircraft positions with an empty cabin?+

Charter and catering are two separate things. A private jet charter to Kerteh pays for the flight; the food you want, even for an empty cabin, is a distinct order that we confirm and invoice separately.
