Catering to your aircraft in Chumphon.
A small field at 18 ft, VTSE sees light and midsize jets bound for diving and island trips. We cook for the cabin, label for the galley and hand 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.
Chumphon Province sits on the Gulf of Thailand side of the Kra isthmus, and the private jet menu follows the coast. An inflight menu for CJM starts with gulf prawns, squid and sea bass, grilled or steamed and packed in separate trays so nothing steams itself soft in the drawer. Private jet food here also means tropical fruit: mango, pineapple and rambutan cut and chilled, with durian kept sealed and out of the cabin, since its smell clings to upholstery.
Local specialities from Chumphon Province are built for the galley rather than the table. Coconut-based curries travel with the sauce apart, grilled fish is re-plated on board, and the private jet menu offers sticky rice and fruit plates for the cold side. The inflight menu for VTSE is kept light: heat on the Gulf coast makes heavy cream dishes a poor bet for private jet food.
Private jet platters from Chumphon lean on seafood and fruit; we pack gourmet inflight meals for the crew and guests alike. Local specialities include grilled squid, steamed fish with lime and chilli, and mango with sticky rice, each labelled with its service step. Private jet snacks cover roasted cashews from the province, dried banana and chilled coconut water.

Flying into Chumphon (VTSE/CJM) usually means a beach or diving trip on the Gulf coast, so private jet catering here leans on fresh seafood, tropical fruit and cold plates that survive the heat. In-flight catering and aviation catering are written around your tail, your seat plan and your cabin crew meals; business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are handled at any hour, and diplomatic flight catering gets protocol-cleared menus.
Executives and island-bound guests fly into VTSE aboard compact aircraft, so a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around fresh seafood. Corporate jet catering, business jet catering and VIP flight catering adapt to your galley; luxury inflight catering and charter flight catering get labelled by seat.
For an official flight into VTSE, menus pass through the protocol office, not the kitchen. We pack sealed trays for head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering, government flight catering and state visit aircraft catering, with names off the labels.
Special meals at Chumphon are a procedure, not a label. Shellfish, fish sauce and peanuts run through most local dishes, so allergen free orders get a separate board and their own tray. We handle kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals on request, and tell you which Thai dishes need a swap before anything is cooked.
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.
Order crew meals with the trip: flight crew meals for the rotation, pilot meals that fit a jumpseat, and crew catering delivered to the FBO. Cockpit meals come in crew meal boxes, different meals for pilots are split by box, and cabin crew meals follow the same label.
The general aviation terminal at VTSE is compact, so FBO catering is a short walk to the apron. We organise catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering so trays reach the cabin door.
Chumphon sees light and midsize jets, so galley catering usually goes straight through the cabin door by hand. For a larger tail we plan airside catering delivery with your handling agent and arrange a high loader if the door height needs it. Aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the type before we pack.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Chumphon is a regional field in Chumphon Province, ranked 22nd in Thailand. Airport catering here supports general aviation arrivals, with FBO services and ground handling services kept simple and the apron quiet.
As a business aviation hub, Chumphon is small but useful. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are packed for island hops, aviation catering and business aviation catering adapt to light jets, and executive jet catering covers private charters. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals follow your order.
Thai agricultural rules limit imported fresh food, so plan your Chumphon order around local sourcing. Sealed, labelled trays, with allergens and ingredients listed, are easier to clear and to serve.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at Chumphon Airport, where 5 guests expected fresh fruit and breakfast pastries despite limited fridge space. The Galley Girls updated the side dishes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the starters quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the private jet meals arrangements.”
“The cabin briefing at VTSE included 5 passenger meals, a request for grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and instructions addressing a short ground stop. I wanted clear identification on the breakfast portions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The fruit plates were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. With private jet menu, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Menu approval at CJM covered poached fish with steamed rice for 7 guests, leaving us to organise the service around limited fridge space. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the salads to arrive in shallow trays. I want a private jet chef to understand crew briefing, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I could hand the main courses to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
Send the final seat plan when you have it. We rework quantities, keep shellfish separate for allergies and invoice what was actually packed.
Tell us the delegation size and any religious or allergen needs. Seafood is plentiful here, and we confirm the final plan with you while still taking late adjustments.
Bringing special meals through customs can cost you time on the ground. Order them with us instead: they are packed locally, sealed and delivered with a marked seat number.
Outside food is possible but not always welcome at customs. We offer crew meal boxes, with captain and first officer getting different dishes and no names on the labels.
Not usually. A private jet charter contract rarely covers food, so with a short turnaround at Chumphon you order catering separately and we meet the slot.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
