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

What Hyannis brings to your in-flight catering (HYA)

Cape Cod gives a private jet menu its best material: cold-water shellfish, fat scallops, Massachusetts cranberries from the bogs, and a chowder tradition that travels better than most soups. For a private jet menu at Cape Cod Gateway we build the inflight menu around what the Massachusetts coast actually produces that week. Private jet food from here leans on local specialities: lobster roll fillings packed separately from the split-top bun, steamers and littlenecks kept chilled, clam chowder in sealed pots with oyster crackers apart, Wellfleet oysters shucked to order and boxed on ice. Private jet platters of chilled seafood suit a July departure; gourmet inflight meals of baked cod with a buttered crumb or a seared scallop plate suit cooler days. Private jet snacks from the Cape are simple: cranberry-walnut bakery loaves, kettle chips, salt-water taffy, Portuguese sweet bread from the local bakeries.

Massachusetts supplies the structure of this menu, and Hyannis supplies the mood: harbour, ferries, sunburnt guests stepping off a flight from New York or Teterboro. A private jet menu for HYA begins with seafood and ends with something from a Cape bakery. The inflight menu changes with the landings: oysters and littlenecks in summer, chowder and braised short rib when the wind turns. Private jet food here should be light on the lap and clear about its allergens, since shellfish dominates the local larder. We list local specialities by how they fly: fillings apart from bread, sauces in their own pots, cold items on ice. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all built from this Massachusetts base, and crew get their own plain, hot options.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Cape Cod Gateway Airport

A typical business jet catering order at HYA comes from a corporate flight department running New York or Boston clients to the Cape for a Friday departure. Corporate jet catering here means a private jet chef building a bespoke menu around lobster, chowder and a cold white wine list; VIP flight catering for the same cabin adds individual plating notes. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same packing: sauces apart, everything labelled by seat.

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Cape Cod Gateway Airport

Government flight catering at Hyannis is uncommon but not unknown, as presidential and cabinet parties have used the Cape for summer retreats. Head of state flight catering means a protocol-cleared menu, a named team and a quiet handover. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one discipline: traceable ingredients, sealed trays, discreet delivery at the FBO.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Hyannis (HYA)

Waiting out fog at Hyannis tests a crew's patience and appetite. Crew meals here are a request item, billed with the order. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals in boxes marked CREW, so no one mistakes them for guest trays; crew catering and cockpit meals can be hot or cold, crew meal boxes stack easily in a small galley, and different meals for pilots are provided on request. For the cabin crew meals, the CREW marking on the lid is the only tag a flight attendant needs to find them in the drawer.

FBO catering at Cape Cod Gateway Airport (HYA): delivery to your aircraft

On the Hyannis ramp, the FBO is the handover point. We run catering delivery to the FBO through your handling agent, whether the aircraft is parked at the general aviation terminal or on the apron. FBO catering, ground handling catering and handling agent catering all depend on one clear brief.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Cape Cod Gateway Airport

Most arrivals at Cape Cod Gateway are small enough for hand loading, but a bigger aircraft changes the plan. Galley catering for such types means confirming door height and loader access first. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are set with the handling agent before the slot.

About the airportKHYA / HYA

About Cape Cod Gateway Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Cape Cod Gateway Airport serves Hyannis and Barnstable County, handling the commuter and general aviation traffic that feeds the islands and the Cape. Airport catering here supports a mix of turboprops, light jets and the occasional large cabin. The airfield sits at modest elevation on flat ground, and summer weekends bring peak use.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Cape Cod Gateway peaks with summer weekend traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for HYA follow the passenger mix, while aviation catering for a charter often includes cabin crew meals in a separate box. Executive jet catering suits owners who fly in themselves, and diplomatic flight catering is available for visiting delegations. General aviation here is steady, FBO services are close to the apron, and ground handling services are coordinated by your handling agent as the business aviation hub for the Cape.

Customs & food import

International arrivals into Cape Cod Gateway clear US customs and agricultural inspection, which restricts foreign meat, dairy and fresh produce. For catering, this means locally prepared meals are the simplest route and foreign-origin food carried by passengers may be confiscated. Tell us early about any import needs.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“As the person coordinating a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 7 passengers at Cape Cod Gateway Airport, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about FBO catering. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the sandwiches readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
Chen G. | Royal family manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Service planning came first at KHYA, with 11 passengers choosing fresh fruit and breakfast pastries and a short ground stop influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls prepared the salads for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The canapés stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. For our team, the strongest part of their airport catering was how they handled cabin service sequence.”
Javier W. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Working around a revised passenger count at HYA, I asked for a cold lunch with cheese and fruit in portions appropriate for our 6 passengers. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the starters against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. The galley preparation stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering.”

Questions crews ask about HyannisAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Cape Cod Gateway when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Think of cost in portions. If your private jet catering order for HYA grows by three seats, we add three plates of whatever you chose, scaled to the menu's price level. Summer seafood leans higher than shoulder-season chowder.

What is the lead time for a government or delegation flight into Cape Cod Gateway?+

A delegation brings a protocol office, allergy sheets and often a second aircraft. Lead time at KHYA is set by that paperwork and by the produce, with summer shellfish easier to source than off-season items. Last-minute requests are accepted.

How do customs affect catering for a special-meal request such as kosher, halal, allergen or child at HYA?+

A special-meal request is a procedure here: separate board, separate box, sealed lid. International passengers should know that US customs may confiscate any foreign meat or dairy they carry in; ours is domestically prepared.

Can you bring food of your own to Cape Cod Gateway, and what happens with crew duty time and waiting on the ground?+

If duty time is running and the fog sits on the Cape, a brought sandwich only goes so far. We supply crew catering for waiting pilots: two different dishes when asked, packed apart from guest trays.

Is catering part of a charter into Hyannis, given the departure slot and a short turnaround?+

The charter does not include meals. Order catering separately for HYA; a departure slot that leaves little ground time simply means finishing your menu choices earlier and keeping labels simple.
