Catering to your aircraft in Herlong.
Landing at Herlong means high desert, thin air and a quiet apron. Private jet catering here is cooked and labelled for crew who finish the meal in a small galley, handed to your handling agent for 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.
Herlong sits in the high desert of California, east of the Sierra Nevada, where the private jet menu leans on what the region grows and ships well. Local specialities here are practical: Honey Lake Valley alfalfa-fed beef, Sierra trout, Susanville-area bakery bread and California stone fruit in season. For private jet food we pack these in ways a small galley can finish, with sauces in separate pots and cold plates built to stay put in the drawer.
The inflight menu for California and Herlong starts with the season: summer peaches and cherries, autumn apples and walnuts, winter citrus from the Central Valley. Local specialities travel as private jet food that suits a galley with a single oven, with sliced beef and trout served either chilled or finished in the oven, never rushed. The private jet menu is written around what your aircraft can actually do.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
KAHC is a military-run airfield in Lassen County, and anyone landing there on a civilian trip already knows access is arranged ahead of time. We work around that: private jet catering for AHC is ordered and invoiced on its own, then handed over through your FBO or handling agent. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for passengers, aviation catering for the crew, business aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official parties, plus cabin crew meals when asked.
Herlong sees corporate and charter traffic with modest cabins, so business jet catering favours dishes that survive dry air. Our private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu, whether for corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering.
Government flight catering at an Army airfield means access rules come first. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared by protocol before cooking. State visit aircraft catering for Amedee arrives sealed, traceable and discreet.
Herlong is high desert with a thin local supply of specialty ingredients, so special meals are planned from the order, not improvised. Kosher and halal meals are sourced and packed sealed. Vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on a separate board, allergen free requests are boxed apart, and kids meals get their own tray. Tell us the seat and the restriction and the label carries it.
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.
At Amedee Army Air Field the crew often waits on the ramp, so crew meals are built to hold. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering go out on request and are invoiced separately. Cockpit meals fit a small tray, crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots avoid the same dish for captain and first officer. Cabin crew meals are an additional order.
Because Amedee is an Army airfield, handling agent catering depends on access arranged ahead of the slot. Our FBO catering is handed to the general aviation terminal or straight to the aircraft, and ground handling catering is coordinated by phone or email. Catering delivery to KAHC goes through your handling agent, who opens the gate and meets the tray at the apron.
Amedee Army Air Field handles aircraft from light jets to larger cabins, and the type decides the loading. A large aircraft with a high sill needs galley catering brought up with a high loader, while a light jet takes airside catering delivery by hand at the stairs. Aircraft provisioning at KAHC is agreed with your handling agent, with the door height, galley position and trolley or box format settled before the slot.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Amedee Army Air Field lies in Lassen County, California, with its own approaches over the Honey Lake Valley. Airport catering for general aviation here is rare, so FBO services and ground handling services need planning with the operator.
Herlong is no ordinary business aviation hub: it is high, quiet and seasonal, with summer heat and winter cold. We supply inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals, packed for the conditions.
U.S. import rules limit fresh food coming off an international leg, and leftovers may need to be declared or discarded. For Herlong, agree the plan with your handling agent so catering lands cleanly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Amedee Army Air Field, with 11 servings of a mezze selection with flatbreads and a small galley worktop to consider. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. For our team, the strongest part of their crew meals was how they handled portion planning.”
“Service planning came first at KAHC, with 5 passengers choosing yoghurt pots and fresh berries and a short ground stop influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls prepared the canapés for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. For our team, the strongest part of their FBO catering was how they handled cabin service sequence. It made a difference to have the side dishes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at AHC, where our order of mushroom risotto and a green salad for 6 people involved a late menu amendment. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the desserts readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The crew provisions were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
Reposition legs are the easiest to price: crew only, cold or oven-ready, one bag. How much does private jet catering cost then? Whatever the crew orders, invoiced separately from the aircraft, with no hidden extras.
For long flights, lead time is about getting the plan right: which course goes first, which waits in the drawer. Order when the trip is firm; late changes to Amedee are handled as well.
A last-minute headcount shift means fewer or more trays, and every tray is a declared item on an international arrival. We keep the order list current so the customs picture is clear.
For a delegation, bringing food from outside can complicate access to a restricted airfield. We supply sealed, named-by-seat trays, and confidentiality is part of how our team works.
Catering sits on its own invoice. For a special meal into KAHC, tell us who it is for and what to avoid, and we build the tray around that.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
