Catering to your aircraft in Phetchabun.
Phetchabun Airport is a quiet hill-country field at 450 ft, and light jets are the usual visitors. We cook and pack for your galley, with Thai flavours and a plain option beside them, handed to your FBO or handling agent.
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.
Phetchabun Province is better known to Thais than to charter crews, and that is exactly why its table is worth putting on a private jet menu. The region grows tamarind, and the sweet-tamarind trade is the local signature: fruit that packs well, travels dry and needs no galley at all, which makes it one of the easiest local specialities to carry onto an aircraft. Around Phetchabun you also find river fish from the Pa Sak basin, grilled whole in the Thai way, and the sticky rice that goes with it, steamed in bamboo baskets. For an inflight menu this means a hot fish dish finished in the oven with its dipping sauce apart, a lime-and-chilli salad packed dry, and rice portioned per seat. Private jet food from this part of Thailand leans on herbs, lemongrass and galangal, so the aroma in a closed cabin is something we plan for rather than discover at altitude. Our private jet platters for Phetchabun are built from fruit, cured meats and cold salads that hold without refrigeration drama. Gourmet inflight meals use local rice and charcoal-grilled proteins, re-plated by the crew at the galley counter, and private jet snacks stay simple: dried tamarind, roasted nuts, fresh-cut mango when the season gives it. Alongside these local specialities we keep a plain western option on every order, because not every principal wants Thai heat above 30,000 ft. Anything with fish sauce or shrimp paste is flagged clearly for allergen control. That is the shape of a private jet menu for Phetchabun Province: regional, light, and sized for a small cabin.
A private jet menu for Phetchabun starts with what the province actually grows and cooks. Phetchabun Province is hill country, and tamarind is its calling card: sweet tamarind eaten as fruit, pressed into sauces, folded into dressings. On an inflight menu it is a gift, because it keeps without a fridge and adds sourness that wakes the palate in a dry cabin. Private jet food here also means grilled river fish, lemongrass chicken and sticky rice in individual portions, with the chilli dip packed apart so the guest sets the heat. We build private jet platters from sliced tropical fruit, rolled herb parcels and cold noodle salads, all of them dishes that wait quietly in the drawer. Gourmet inflight meals take the hot side: a curry with the rice separate, or a whole fish portion finished in the oven and re-plated cold-side if there is no oven aboard. Private jet snacks cover the gaps: roasted peanuts, tamarind candy, rice crackers. Local specialities are never forced; if the principal wants a club sandwich we cook a proper one. Allergens such as shellfish, peanut and fish sauce are written on the lid and on the crew sheet.

Phetchabun Airport sits at 450 ft in the hills of Phetchabun Province, and its apron is a place for light jets and turboprops, not wide-bodies. Private jet catering here is planned around a small galley: dishes that survive a short oven, sauces in their own pots, and cold plates for when there is no oven at all. Inflight catering for a tail into VTPB follows the same logic, and aviation catering for a Thai domestic leg stays equally simple. Business aviation catering is handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent, and executive jet catering gets a menu agreed before the slot. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol first, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
A typical business jet catering brief at Phetchabun is four to six guests on a light jet, a short stop and a galley with limited space. Corporate jet catering here is compact: VIP flight catering that fits one drawer, charter flight catering with a hot dish and a cold backup, and luxury inflight catering that relies on good produce rather than complexity. A private jet chef can build a bespoke menu around tamarind, river fish and herbs.
Government flight catering at Phetchabun is rare and planned. Head of state flight catering goes through the protocol office, with a named team and sealed packing. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are agreed before the slot, with traceability for every box and discretion at the aircraft.
Special meals at Phetchabun start with the local pantry: fish sauce, shrimp paste, peanuts and oyster sauce hide inside many Thai dishes, so allergen free and gluten free plates are cooked on a separate board and packed in their own box with a card. Kosher and halal requests are agreed before the slot, vegan menus leave fish sauce out entirely, and kids meals stay mild with the chilli sent apart. Every box is marked by seat number, never by name.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For crews on the ground at PHY, we pack crew meals in their own labelled box, on request, invoiced as any item. Flight crew meals suit a long wait; pilot meals can be two different dishes for the two seats, as different meals for pilots are standard practice. Crew catering stays separate from guest food, cockpit meals eat with one hand, crew meal boxes stack, and cabin crew meals have their own box.
At PHY, your handling agent receives the order and walks it to the aircraft. FBO catering is the default handover, catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated before the slot, and the general aviation terminal is where drivers report. Ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent catering contact.
Aircraft at Phetchabun Airport are mostly small, so galley catering is sized to a compact cabin: stackable boxes, one drawer per course, no oversized trolleys. Airside catering delivery is made by hand at the aircraft door, and aircraft provisioning for a larger tail is agreed beforehand with the handling agent, who confirms whether a high loader is needed or whether the stairs and a hand-carry are enough.

VTPB, also known as PHY, is an airport in Phetchabun Province that handles light aircraft and occasional charters. Airport catering for a field this size is hand-delivered, general aviation traffic is modest, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged ahead.
Phetchabun is not a business aviation hub, and that suits quiet trips. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for a light jet is easy to plan, aviation catering stays small, and business aviation catering means a few boxes. Executive jet catering is a short brief, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
Thailand controls food imports tightly, especially fresh meat, dairy and fruit. On domestic legs the rules are light, but an international departure from PHY brings customs checks at the other end. Tell us the route and we pack accordingly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“With several individual meal preferences to consider at Phetchabun Airport, we needed a practical way to serve smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit to 9 passengers. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the breakfast portions clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the sandwiches before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I want an inflight catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Packing a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 3 passengers at VTPB needed careful thought, especially given several individual meal preferences. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience. The canapés went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“Several practical details needed attention at PHY, with chicken skewers with a couscous salad requested for 12 guests and a family lunch request to accommodate. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements. The Galley Girls suggested compact food boxes for the crew provisions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the sandwiches to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
Ask how much private jet catering costs at VTPB and our first question is what the crew is doing: sitting out a duty window or turning straight around. A tray of sweet tamarind, rice and grilled river fish is priced differently from a plated three-course lunch, so we build the quote from the dishes you pick, not from a tariff.
The field is quiet, so lead time here depends on the menu rather than on apron traffic. Cold platters can be added late; a whole grilled fish needs the kitchen to know your slot beforehand. Last-minute orders are handled, and we tell you which dishes to drop if the slot shifts.
Sweet tamarind and river fish are Thai products and board freely on a domestic leg. If the trip leaves Thailand from PHY, many destinations restrict fruit, fish and plant products, so we flag what will not clear at the other end and swap it for something that will.
Thai food-import rules are strict about meat, fruit and plant material, and a bag packed at home can be confiscated on arrival abroad. Bringing your own is possible on a domestic leg; for anything crossing a border we advise ordering from us and letting the paperwork follow the menu.
No. Catering is not part of the private jet charter: you order it separately and it is billed as its own order. With a turboprop or light jet the galley is small, so we plan one hot dish and cold platters that fit a single drawer.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
