Catering to your aircraft in Fort Carson.
Butts AAF sits at 5,838 ft, and the dry mountain air shapes how food is packed for the cabin. We cook and pack for the crew flying out of Fort Carson.
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.
Colorado food travels well in a galley if you pick it for altitude. A private jet menu for Fort Carson leans on what holds at 5,838 ft and stays good in a drawer: Rocky Mountain trout, Colorado lamb, Palisade peaches in season, Rocky Ford melons in late summer, and green chile from the southern part of the state.
Our inflight menu for KFCS draws on local specialities that survive a cabin: bison from Front Range ranches, Colorado lamb chops, Olathe sweet corn, and craft chocolate from Colorado Springs. Private jet food here is simple on purpose, because dry mountain air dulls taste and the cabin is dryer still.
Private jet platters for Colorado can carry Palisade fruit, Rocky Mountain cheeses and cured meats from local makers, while gourmet inflight meals lean on bison and trout. For private jet snacks, think Colorado-roasted nuts and dark chocolate. These local specialities reach the aircraft at Fort Carson sealed and labelled.

Fort Carson's Butts AAF is an Army field first, and business aviation visits are the exception that needs a clean plan. Private jet catering for KFCS covers business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations, plus cabin crew meals for the people flying them. Everything is handed over at the FBO or with your handling agent.
Business jet catering at KFCS is usually a visiting delegation or a corporate group tied to the post. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all start with the type and the seat plan. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu around seats and diets, and luxury inflight catering here stays simple and bold because altitude flattens flavour.
A state visit aircraft catering order through KFCS is handled discreetly: head of state flight catering and government flight catering travel with traceable labels, and VIP aviation catering is packed per seat with no names on the lids.
Special meals at Fort Carson start with the kitchen, not the label: in Colorado cooking, nuts, wheat and dairy hide in sauces, crusts and chile thickeners. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are cooked on separate boards and sealed per seat, and kids meals are packed in their own box so nobody opens the wrong tray.
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.
For the crew at KFCS, crew meals are ordered on request and billed like any other line. We pack flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals in separate crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and crew catering can include different meals for pilots when policy asks for it.
FBO catering at Fort Carson is handed to the handling agent at the general aviation terminal and carried airside. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed on your slot; ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the airfield's access rules.
What loads at KFCS depends on the cabin you bring. A light jet parked on the apron takes trays carried up the stairs by hand, while a larger cabin may call for a high loader and airside catering delivery arranged through your handling agent. Galley catering is packed to the galley you actually have, and aircraft provisioning at Fort Carson is checked against the type before your slot.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Butts AAF (Fort Carson) Air Field is an Army airfield in Colorado, and airport catering here serves occasional general aviation and FBO services on request. Ground handling services are arranged around the post's own operations.
Business aviation hub it is not, but KFCS sees visiting executive and delegation flights. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered through us, aviation catering and business aviation catering are written for the galley, executive jet catering suits small cabins, diplomatic flight catering is handled with protocol, and cabin crew meals ride with the crew.
Flights departing Butts AAF for another country follow US customs rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce. We pack from US-sourced ingredients and keep an itemised list so inspection at the FBO is straightforward.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Our priority at Butts AAF (Fort Carson) Air Field was mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 12 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. I want an aviation catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls grouped the crew provisions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the canapés properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Getting herb chicken with a quinoa salad ready for 3 guests at KFCS required an order that accounted for an evening cabin service. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the canapés to arrive in compact food boxes. We placed the sandwiches in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience.”
“Before our guests boarded at FCS, we needed a cold lunch with cheese and fruit divided into 9 portions suitable for two separate meal services. The Galley Girls prepared the starters for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. We could finish the side dishes as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. This experience of flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”
Private jet catering cost at KFCS moves with what you order: lamb costs more than a roast vegetable plate, and Palisade peaches are priced only in summer. Cold-season weather can shift departures, so we build the order to hold if the slot moves.
If the crew plans a same-trip return from Butts AAF, order both legs together. The lead time is then one conversation, and a late change to the return is handled by phone or email.
US food customs rules cover meat, dairy and fruit going abroad. For a night departure from Colorado, we pack from US-sourced ingredients and keep an ingredient list per tray, so inspection is quick.
If you plan to bring food into Colorado's Butts AAF yourself, check access and any import rules first. We handle both: sealed, itemised packs, delivered airside by arrangement.
No: the charter price does not include food. For a repositioning flight into Fort Carson, tell us whether the crew wants meals and we pack them as a separate order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
