Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Shelbyville (SYI)

Shelbyville is Walking Horse country, and the private jet menu here leans on middle Tennessee: smoked and slow-cooked meats, pimento cheese, cornbread, pickled vegetables and fruit pies. An inflight menu built from local specialities has to survive the drawer, so each item is chosen for how it travels and finishes.

For private jet food at KSYI, we start with what Tennessee does well and then ask what your galley can do with it. Pulled pork travels well and re-plates cold or hot, hot chicken needs its sauce apart, and a peach cobbler needs to stay chilled until service. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all built this way, using local specialities from Tennessee and the surrounding region.

Passengers arriving for horse season in Shelbyville often ask for something recognisably Tennessean. We build the private jet menu around that, with regional sides on the platter, sauces in their own pots, and a lighter option for those who do not want barbecue at altitude.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Bomar Field / Shelbyville Municipal Airport (KSYI)

Middle Tennessee cooking hides allergens in plain sight: wheat in the gravy, dairy in the greens, pork fat in the beans. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals at KSYI, we cook in a separate area, seal the dish, and label it by seat number and restriction. That is a procedure for each request, written against the actual Tennessee dishes on your menu.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Bomar Field / Shelbyville Municipal Airport

At KSYI the cockpit side of the order is a request like any other: you ask for it, and it is invoiced with the rest. Flight crew meals travel in crew meal boxes marked CREW, kept apart from the guest trays so nobody reaches for the wrong one. Pilot meals and cockpit meals suit one-handed eating, and we can provide different meals for pilots when operator policy asks. Crew catering at Shelbyville also means cabin crew meals with a hot option for a long wait on the ground.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Bomar Field / Shelbyville Municipal Airport (SYI)

Bomar Field is a general aviation field, and most aircraft here are light and midsize jets whose galleys are loaded by hand. For the occasional larger aircraft, we confirm the door height and whether a high loader is needed before the order is packed. Galley catering is sized to the aircraft's ovens and drawers, and airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at KSYI follows the same plane-side routine as any other field.

About the airportKSYI / SYI

General aviation and airport catering at Bomar Field / Shelbyville Municipal Airport (SYI)

Bomar Field is a general aviation airport serving Shelbyville, Tennessee, with airport catering handled plane-side at the FBO. General aviation traffic here includes private jets, turboprops and the occasional charter. FBO services and ground handling services follow the same pattern as any other business aviation hub.

Business aviation

Shelbyville's biggest week brings the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, when private aircraft fill the ramp. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered around that calendar, aviation catering and business aviation catering suit owner flights, executive jet catering covers corporate guests, diplomatic flight catering serves official visitors, and cabin crew meals are boxed for the crew.

Customs & food import

KSYI handles domestic traffic and the occasional international arrival, so customs rules on imported food apply to the aircraft. Fresh meat, dairy and produce from abroad may be restricted, and the practical result is that any leftover international catering may need to be disposed of. We plan the order around that.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Choosing a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 5 people at KSYI was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with two separate meal services. The Galley Girls grouped the crew provisions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our brief for FBO catering was met with a sensible plan for crew briefing. Our colleague could take over the main courses without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

Amelie V. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Rather than an elaborate service at SYI, our 7 guests wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries, organised sensibly around several individual meal preferences. With airport catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The sauces supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The snack boxes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“On this departure from Bomar Field / Shelbyville Municipal Airport, 2 passengers had chosen yoghurt pots and fresh berries, and a late menu amendment needed to be reflected in the order. The written menu details stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the crew provisions could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the main courses ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

Questions crews ask about ShelbyvilleAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight at KSYI?+

Delegation flights through Shelbyville are quoted from the menu actually agreed, not from a rate card. Dietary restrictions, seat-numbered labelling and separate crew provisions all shift the total, and we explain each line before you confirm.

What lead time does a kosher or allergen request need at Bomar Field?+

Special meals into Bomar Field work best when you send the dietary detail with the tail and slot. Child meals, allergen-free plates and certified kosher or halal options are all possible, and last-minute changes are taken day or night.

What do customs mean for food and crew duty time at KSYI?+

Customs rules in the United States restrict certain fresh produce, meat and dairy on arriving aircraft. At KSYI, we plan crew meals so they can be eaten on the ground during duty time without leaving leftovers that need to be declared.

Can you bring food of your own when the departure slot at Shelbyville is short?+

Yes, you can bring your own food, but a tight departure slot at KSYI makes it harder to coordinate with the FBO. We recommend telling us the slot so the order can be staged for a plane-side handover instead.

Is catering part of a charter into Shelbyville, and can a Tennessee product go on the menu?+

Is catering part of a charter into Shelbyville? Not in a private jet charter. Food is its own order and invoice, and one local product, such as smoked pulled pork, can be added to the menu on request.
