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

The Matthew Town table, packed for private jet catering

Inagua is Bahamian out-island: conch, grouper, snapper and crawfish are the local specialities, and a private jet menu for Matthew Town leans on them because they are what a Bahamian kitchen does best. Conch salad comes chilled with the lime and pepper in a separate pot, so it does not cook itself in the drawer; cracked conch travels crisp only if it is packed dry and re-plated cold or finished in the oven, which is the call your flight attendant makes at altitude. Grouper and snapper are simple private jet food for a hot lunch: pan-seared fillet, peas and rice on the side, sauce apart. Johnny cake and coconut bread suit the snack drawer. Inagua itself is known for sea salt and its flamingo colony, so a flake-salt finish or a grilled fish plate fits an Inagua inflight menu without turning into a theme. Gourmet inflight meals for this stop are cooked and packed for your galley; private jet platters of tropical fruit and chilled shellfish handle the cold side, and private jet snacks cover the passengers who want something between courses.

Matthew Town is the only real settlement on Inagua, and the region's table is Bahamian: boiled and stewed fish, conch in every form, rice and pigeon peas, plantain, guava duff for dessert. Building a private jet menu from that means choosing what travels. Stewed fish holds well in a sealed tray and reheats in the galley oven; conch fritters want a crisp finish, so they ride dry and go in last. Salad fruit, mango, sapodilla and sugar apple depend on the season and arrive with local specialities on the card as the cold course. An inflight menu for MYIG can stay entirely local, with grilled snapper, pigeon peas and rice, and a lime-and-pepper sauce served apart. Private jet platters carry fruit, chilled prawns and cheese, gourmet inflight meals cover the hot service, and private jet snacks like coconut tarts and plantain chips fill the drawer for the return.

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

Inagua is the southernmost island of the Bahamas, flat salt-pan country with a single runway at Matthew Town, and nothing on the apron to fall back on once you shut down. Private jet catering here is written around that: a full galley loaded for the leg out, cabin and cockpit, handed over by your handling agent. We plan inflight catering and in-flight catering for MYIG as aviation catering that has to survive a long island hop, from business aviation catering for owner trips to executive jet catering for charter crews. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are briefed the same way, tail by tail.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Matthew Town for business and VIP flights (IGA)

Business jet catering at Inagua is usually a quiet owner trip or a corporate stop on the way through the southern Bahamas: four to eight passengers, a light or midsize jet, a galley with one oven. Corporate jet catering here is built around seafood that travels well, VIP flight catering is cooked and packed to the card, and charter flight catering for a crew landing at IGA comes in sealed trays marked by seat. Luxury inflight catering can mean grouper and sea salt, and a private jet chef will write a bespoke menu for the leg.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Inagua Airport

Government flight catering at Inagua is rare and quiet: a ministry aircraft or a state visit stop, where protocol sets the menu before the kitchen cooks. Head of state flight catering is traced dish by dish and cooked by a named team; VIP aviation catering holds the same discipline for senior delegations, and state visit aircraft catering is cleared through the protocol office, not the kitchen.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Inagua Airport

On an out-island with a small kitchen base, special meals are a procedure, not a promise: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each cooked on their own board and sealed in their own box, with seat numbers on the lid. Shellfish and fish stew are everywhere in Bahamian cooking, so anything for a fish or shellfish allergy is stated on the order from the start and kept off the shared hot line.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Inagua Airport (IGA)

Crew meals come on request, commanded and billed as part of the order, and at Matthew Town they matter because nothing else is open. Flight crew meals are labelled CREW, pilot meals come as two different dishes so the captain and first officer never share, and crew catering is packed in boxes that fit a jumpseat. Cockpit meals are planned for one-handed eating, crew meal boxes sit separate from the guest trays, and different meals for pilots are written on the card. Cabin crew meals suit the long island legs.

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Inagua Airport (IGA)

FBO catering at Inagua is handed over where the aircraft stops: through the FBO or your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO goes by the general aviation terminal gate; ground handling catering needs the tail, slot and galley, and handling agent catering means they open airside. Nobody else touches the trays.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Inagua Airport (IGA)

Inagua sees mostly light and mid-size business jets, so galley catering is loaded through the door by hand; for larger aircraft the airside catering delivery needs a high loader arranged through the handling agent, aircraft provisioning for a wide-body is planned from the type, not the airport name. Tell us the galley fitted and where the carts stop, and the order is cut to fit.

About the airportMYIG / IGA

About Inagua Airport (IGA): airport catering for business aviation

Inagua Airport is a single-runway island field at Matthew Town in the southern Bahamas, used by residents, salt-works traffic and visitors to the national park. As a business aviation hub it is small and quiet, and the FBO services and ground handling services on the field are what an arriving crew relies on: fuel, customs coordination and ramp access. Airport catering for general aviation here is planned off the island and handed over at the aircraft, because there is no terminal kitchen to fall back on.

Business aviation

Business aviation to Inagua is occasional and purposeful: wildlife-reserve visits, salt-industry trips, fuel and customs pauses on the southern Bahamas run. As a modest business aviation hub, the field leans on FBO services and ground handling services for everything on the ramp. Inflight catering and in-flight catering fill the gap the island leaves: aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered from the tail, executive jet catering is planned around the galley fitted, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and crew meals and cabin crew meals are packed for the crew. Customs on arrival is part of the same planning.

Customs & food import

Inagua is a Bahamian port of entry with customs and immigration for arriving aircraft, handled through the FBO services and ground handling services on the field, which makes MYIG a workable business aviation hub for the southern islands. Food import follows Bahamas customs: fresh meat, dairy and produce are controlled and often need permits, while cooked, sealed meals are straightforward. Order accordingly and label what goes on board.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Several practical details needed attention at MYIG, with beef fillet with roasted potatoes requested for 4 guests and different crew meal preferences to accommodate. For in-flight catering, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the fruit plates could be arranged during service. We could finish the sandwiches as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“Small packing details became important at IGA: our 12 passengers wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and we had a small galley worktop. For our team, the strongest part of their vip inflight catering was how they handled written menu details. The main courses came from The Galley Girls in separate meal boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. The side dishes were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Choosing mushroom risotto and a green salad for 4 people at Inagua Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with limited fridge space. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the snack boxes identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. For private jet catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Asked before every MYIG slotAsked by crews

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

Two services change the count of everything: more trays, more sauce pots, more drawer space. A hot lunch of grouper followed by a cold conch supper is priced line by line, and shellfish costs more than a fruit board. How much private jet catering costs here follows the menu you choose and the services you want packed, not the airport.

What is the lead time for a kosher, halal, allergen free or kids meals request at Inagua?+

The simple way to keep lead time short is to put the restriction in the first message: diet, seat, headcount. Inagua has a small supply base, so special meals are cooked and packed off-island to your spec, and last-minute orders are handled when the brief is precise.

Do customs rules affect a local product like Bahamian conch on the menu at Inagua?+

Conch is seafood to customs: declared, cooked and sealed. A packed conch salad is treated like any prepared meal, while raw conch raises protected-species questions. We keep the order cooked and labelled so customs on arrival stays simple.

Can you bring food of your own when the weather window decides departures at Inagua?+

Yes, you can bring food, and when departures here move with the weather it gives you a fallback. Keep it sealed, labelled and customs-friendly, and leave anything hot or fresh to us.

Is catering part of a charter into Inagua, and who opens the airside gate?+

Is catering part of a charter? Not here or anywhere: meals are ordered separately and invoiced separately from the aircraft. At MYIG the handling agent decides who goes airside, so the order is handed over through them, at the FBO or at the aircraft.
