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 Sigiriya (GIU)

Sigiriya sits in Sri Lanka's Central Province, in the middle of the Cultural Triangle, and the local specialities that suit a private jet menu come from that country: rice and curry, hoppers, coconut sambol and Ceylon tea. A private jet menu for VCCS is built around how each of these travels in a galley, with every dish given a service label rather than a promise.

Rice and curry is the backbone of the inflight menu: dhal, a vegetable curry and a chicken or fish curry travel well in sealed trays and finish in the oven, with the sauce apart so the rice stays dry. String hoppers and egg hoppers are better re-plated cold or lightly warmed; coconut sambol and seeni sambol go in their own pots.

Private jet food from this region leans on fruit as much as curry. King coconut, papaya, pineapple and mango are cut at the last stage and packed chilled, and the private jet platters we build for GIU pair tropical fruit with cheese and cold cuts for lighter flights. Gourmet inflight meals can be built around a single curry and its sides for a small cabin, while private jet snacks run to cashews, cassava chips and wattalappan, the coconut and jaggery custard.

Ceylon tea gets its own line on the order: leaf tea, a pot or flask, milk apart. The Central Province is tea country, and an early departure from Sigiriya often starts with a tray of tea and short eats before the cabin door closes. Tell us the seat plan, the dietary restrictions and the aircraft galley and we write the Sigiriya menu around them.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Sigiriya Air Force Base (VCCS)

The hills around Sigiriya are hot and humid for much of the year, and a cold plate that leaves the kitchen cool has to arrive at the aircraft cool. That shapes private jet catering at VCCS: chilled items packed separately, hot dishes finished in your oven or re-plated cold. Our former VIP flight attendants plan in-flight catering for GIU around the aircraft type, the headcount and the airfield's rhythm. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering run on the same brief, and diplomatic flight catering gets a named team and a protocol check before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Sigiriya Air Force Base (VCCS)

A typical business jet brief at VCCS is a small party flying into the Cultural Triangle for a few days: executive jet catering for the way in, corporate jet catering for the way out. Business jet catering here is built around the galley you have, VIP flight catering follows protocol where needed, and charter flight catering is ordered separately from the aircraft. Luxury inflight catering at Sigiriya means a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around rice and curry, hoppers and fresh fruit, not around a standard list.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Sigiriya Air Force Base

Government flight catering at Sigiriya means a menu cleared before anything is cooked, a named team, and traceability from kitchen to cabin. Head of state flight catering follows the protocol office's instructions on content, packaging and security seals. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are written for discretion: no names on the labels, only seat numbers, and no photos beyond what the delegation asks for.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Sigiriya Air Force Base (VCCS)

Rice and curry kitchens are generous with coconut milk, ghee, fish paste and roasted spice mixes, so a dish that looks vegan on the menu card may not be. For Sigiriya we treat special meals as a procedure: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are cooked in separate pans, packed in separate boxes and labelled by seat, and kids meals follow the same route. Tell us the restriction and we confirm which curries are safe, which sambols carry fish, and which sauces to leave out.

Pilot meals and crew meals at Sigiriya Air Force Base (GIU)

For a crew sitting at VCCS between legs, crew meals are a separate line on the order, billed like the rest. Flight crew meals can be rice and curry in a box; pilot meals are packed to be eaten between checklists. Our crew catering is planned around the galley, with cockpit meals and crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots where the operator's policy asks for it.

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Sigiriya Air Force Base

At Sigiriya, FBO catering is handed over at the aircraft by your handling agent or FBO team. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed with the general aviation terminal before the slot, ground handling catering follows airside access rules, and handling agent catering is simply the same order, coordinated by phone or email. Tell us the tail, the FBO and the slot and we arrange the rest.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Sigiriya Air Force Base (VCCS)

Sigiriya Air Force Base sees mostly light and mid-size business jets, and aircraft provisioning here starts with the type. Galley catering is planned around your oven, drawers and trolleys, and where a wider-bodied aircraft needs a high loader, we flag it with your handling agent for airside catering delivery. Tell us the type, the galley and the slot, and airside catering delivery is agreed with the FBO or ground handler before the aircraft arrives.

About the airportVCCS / GIU

General aviation and airport catering at Sigiriya Air Force Base (GIU)

VCCS is a military airfield opened to civil business aviation, set among the hills of the Cultural Triangle. Airport catering follows the access rules of the airbase, general aviation traffic is light, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through a local agent. The airfield suits private jets and helicopters more than large aircraft.

Business aviation

Business aviation traffic into Sigiriya follows the tourist seasons of the Cultural Triangle. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders from VCCS peak in the dry months, when charters bring guests to the rock fortress. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are written around those flights; executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same planning, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight. VCCS is a small business aviation hub in a country that flies mostly through Colombo.

Customs & food import

Sri Lankan customs allow local produce and cooked meals to leave on a private jet, while imported food follows import rules that the handling agent confirms. Meat, dairy and fresh fruit going to a destination with strict rules, like Australia or the US, are flagged at the order stage. Airport catering for VCCS is therefore planned with the destination in mind.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“As the person coordinating a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 12 passengers at GIU, I needed an arrangement that considered a small galley worktop. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the private jet menu arrangements. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the main courses, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

Nils N. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

Gulfstream G700

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Nothing about the 11 guest order at Sigiriya Air Force Base called for excess complexity: just a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables and sensible planning for an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls grouped the sandwiches by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the breakfast portions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. I want a private jet chef to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Paloma K. | VIP flight attendant

Global 7500

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Clear quantities were essential at VCCS: we had 7 passengers expecting poached fish with steamed rice and were working around a changing departure schedule. After a final adjustment to the main courses, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the sandwiches was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the in flight catering arrangements.”

Asked before every VCCS slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight from Sigiriya?+

What moves the price here is the brief: a delegation asking for lamprais, crab curry and fresh king coconut for every seat costs more than a set of cold platters. Private jet catering is invoiced like any order, per menu, and quoted once we know the aircraft and the slot.

What is the lead time for private jet catering on a night departure or early morning slot at VCCS?+

Night and early morning slots from Sigiriya are routine. Tell us the departure time and the tail, and the order is planned around the slot, the customs window and the galley. Last-minute orders are handled, and a dawn departure simply means the tea and hoppers are packed the evening before.

Does customs affect catering at Sigiriya, for example a local product on the menu?+

Sri Lankan customs and food import rules apply to catering as they do to any cargo. Local items such as hoppers, fresh fruit and spices are straightforward. Anything brought in from abroad needs checking, and we flag it with the FBO or handling agent before packing.

Can you bring food of your own if the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

If the party at Sigiriya grows or shrinks late, tell us and we reshape the order: more trays of rice and curry, fewer platters, a different tea service. Outside food is allowed in most cases, but it has to be stowed by crew and cleared by customs on arrival.

Is catering part of a charter if the return leg is ordered from Sigiriya?+

A return leg from Sigiriya is simply a second order. The charter pays for the aircraft; the catering is priced per menu and handed over at the FBO. If your Colombo return needs a different menu, tell us the new headcount and restrictions and we write it.
