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.

West End on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at CYB

Cayman Brac is a limestone island with a bluff running down its spine, and the food on a private jet menu for Charles Kirkconnell International follows the water. The inflight menu leans on wahoo, snapper and spiny lobster in season, served as private jet food that travels well: cold lobster salad, grilled fish packed for the oven, conch fritters that go in the drawer and come out onto the plate. Local specialities such as turtle-free Caymanian-style stews, cassava cake and breadfruit chips round out the private jet platters, with gourmet inflight meals composed for a short Caribbean leg. Private jet snacks are tropical: sliced mango, coconut chips, plantain crisps, nothing that wilts on a hot ramp. The Region here is Cayman Brac and the menu says so.

A private jet menu for West End and Cayman Brac starts with fruit and fish, because that is what the island has. Wahoo, mahi-mahi and snapper are the usual catch; lobster is seasonal and sold out when the season closes, so we say so on the order. Private jet food for this field is built as inflight menu items that finish in the galley oven or stay chilled: seared fish with the sauce apart, a cold conch salad, cassava cake re-plated cold. Private jet platters are tropical fruit and cold cuts, gourmet inflight meals are plated per seat, and private jet snacks stay dry. Local specialities of Cayman Brac set the tone; we only list what we can actually source.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (MWCB)

Charles Kirkconnell International sits at 8 feet above sea level on the south shore of Cayman Brac, where the runway runs along the island's low coast and the light aircraft outnumber the jets. Private jet catering here is shaped by that small field: a short ramp, a single terminal, and a galley brief that usually fits a light or midsize jet. Inflight catering is built around Caribbean fish and tropical fruit, in-flight catering that survives a tropical afternoon on the apron, and aviation catering handed over at the aircraft. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same rule at MWCB: the galley decides the menu. Cabin crew meals are boxed separately on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in West End for business and VIP flights (CYB)

A typical business jet brief at MWCB is four to six seats on a midsize jet, flying in for a week of diving or a long weekend. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here usually means a cold platter, one hot fish dish and fruit. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same pattern with plated courses. Luxury inflight catering is a private jet chef's work: a bespoke menu written around the tail, the galley and what is in the water that week.

Special meals

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport

On Cayman Brac the allergen risk is seafood, and it is everywhere: shellfish and fish share fryers, stews and broths on the island. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and special meals are therefore cooked on separate boards and packed in their own sealed box, marked by seat number, with kids meals and allergen free requests handled the same way. Coconut and tree nuts are also common in local baking, so we check every sauce before it is boxed.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from West End (CYB)

Crew meals on Cayman Brac are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals are packed in boxes marked CREW so they are not opened by mistake, pilot meals can be two different plates when the operator's policy asks for it, and crew catering is built for a ramp turn without a table. Cockpit meals are eaten one-handed, so they are cold or warm and never need a fork. Crew meal boxes are packed and carried separately from the guest service. Cabin crew meals and different meals for pilots are written into the order, not added at the gate.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CYB): delivery to your aircraft

On the ramp at Charles Kirkconnell International, FBO catering comes down to one hand-off at the foot of the stairs. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is arranged ahead, ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent, and handling agent catering follows whatever the ramp allows that day. Give us the tail and the slot and the rest is ours.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport

Charles Kirkconnell International handles light and midsize business jets, so galley catering is usually carried by hand or on a small cart rather than a high loader. Airside catering delivery goes through your FBO or handling agent to the foot of the stairs, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout of the type: one oven, one drawer, or a full galley on a larger tail. Tell us the type when you order and we pack to that space.

About the airportMWCB / CYB

General aviation and airport catering at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CYB)

MWCB is a one-runway field at the western end of Cayman Brac. General aviation, FBO services and ground handling services all share one small ramp, and it never claims to be a business aviation hub. Airport catering here is simple for the same reason the field is: one terminal, one apron, one door to the aircraft.

Business aviation

Business aviation into Cayman Brac follows the season: divers, anglers, holiday visitors and the odd medical flight. Inflight catering and in-flight catering track that rhythm, and aviation catering and business aviation catering grow around the winter peak, with airport catering booked through the same handling agent. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are rare but run on the same procedure, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed separately.

Customs & food import

Customs and food import rules in the Cayman Islands are strict on fresh meat, dairy and produce, so airport catering for a flight arriving from abroad has to be declared. We pack in sealed, labelled trays, and your handling agent tells you what the arrival side will ask for.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“The 3 passenger portions of beef fillet with roasted potatoes were the easy part; managing a changing departure schedule at CYB took more planning. The Galley Girls labelled the desserts in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. We could distinguish the salads at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. I want an aviation catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Choosing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 5 people at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a small galley worktop. After a final adjustment to the sauces, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the snack boxes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Working around several individual meal preferences at MWCB, I asked for fresh fruit and breakfast pastries in portions appropriate for our 11 passengers. The Galley Girls grouped the sandwiches by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about flight catering. We left the main courses stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

The Charles Kirkconnell International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a light jet out of Cayman Brac, and what changes it?+

How much does private jet catering cost at Charles Kirkconnell International? It follows the aircraft: seats, galley, and how much of it needs an oven. A fruit-and-fish brief for four sits very differently from a six-course plated service, and we give the figure before anyone flies.

What is the lead time for a night departure or an early morning slot at CYB?+

Early and late slots are both fine at MWCB. What makes an order easy is the fish: if it has to be bought that morning, say so in the brief. Last-minute orders are handled, and your handling agent knows when the gate is open.

What do customs say about food on a long leg out of the Cayman Islands with two services on board?+

For a long leg out of CYB, customs rules on meat, fresh fruit and dairy matter at both ends. We pack two services in separate sealed boxes, marked clearly, so the crew can discard or declare each one without opening the other.

Can you bring food that meets a special meal request, kosher, halal, allergen or child, into the aircraft?+

A special-meal request travels with its own paperwork: seat number, restriction, sealed tray. At Charles Kirkconnell International we confirm each item with the handling agent before the aircraft arrives, and kids meals are packed to be eaten without a plate.

Is catering part of a charter into Cayman Brac, and is local lobster on the menu?+

It is not. Catering sits outside the charter contract and is booked and billed on its own. The Brac's best-known ingredient is lobster, and we offer it when it is legal to catch and sell.
