Catering to your aircraft in Carson City.
At 4,697 feet beside the Sierra, Carson Airport is a small field with big weekends. We cook and pack for crews who need the galley handled quietly.
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.
Carson City sits where the Sierra Nevada drops into the Great Basin, and the Nevada table is ranch food, basque cooking and Lake Tahoe trout. A private jet menu built from here starts with what travels well at altitude. Our inflight menu leans on local specialities: basque lamb and chorizo, Nevada beef, Pyramid Lake-style trout and high-desert greens. Private jet food from this region is hearty, so we pack sauces apart and finish dishes in the aircraft oven. Private jet platters carry sliced beef, cheeses and fruit; gourmet inflight meals follow your seat plan; private jet snacks cover the Tahoe-bound family on the weekend run.
For Nevada and Carson City, the private jet menu borrows from the old mining-town and basque ranching tradition. Local specialities include slow-braised short rib, basque-style stew, trout and pine-nut salads, and Sierra honey. We write the inflight menu around the aircraft: stews travel well, delicate fish stays chilled. Private jet food here is plated at altitude, so private jet platters are cut and covered, gourmet inflight meals are labelled by seat, and private jet snacks, from jerky to trail mix, ride in the drawer.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Tahoe weekends and Reno overflow define the rhythm at KCXP, and the galley on a light jet is small. Our private jet catering is cooked and packed for the galley you actually have, whether that is inflight catering for a short hop or business aviation catering for a longer trip out of Nevada. In-flight catering, aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all ordered by phone or email, 24/7, and handed over at your FBO.
For corporate jet catering at KCXP, the brief is usually short and the aircraft light. Business jet catering for charter flight catering or owner trips comes with a private jet chef and a bespoke menu, plus VIP flight catering when the occasion asks for luxury inflight catering.
For government flight catering out of Carson City, a named team handles the order quietly from first call to the apron. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering follow the protocol office, and VIP aviation catering is traced from kitchen to door.
At Carson, the allergen question is usually pine nuts, shellfish carried over from Tahoe-bound orders, and the wheat in basque-style bread. Kosher and halal meals are sealed and travel in their original packaging. Vegan and gluten free dishes get their own board and box, allergen free orders are prepared apart, and kids meals and other special meals are coded to the seat on a diet card.
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 Carson, a crew waiting out the Tahoe weekend can order crew meals on request, billed apart. Flight crew meals come boxed, pilot meals go in separate crew meal boxes, and crew catering covers cockpit meals with different meals for pilots when the operator asks for it.
FBO catering at KCXP is a simple handover: the FBO opens the door to the apron and your handling agent walks the order out to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is matched to your slot, so ground handling catering and handling agent catering stay in one thread with the FBO.
Carson Airport mostly sees light and midsize jets, so galley catering is carried in rather than lifted. For a larger aircraft, tell us the type and we plan airside catering delivery around the door height and whether a high loader is needed. Aircraft provisioning follows the galley of your tail: one oven, drawers or a full galley decide how the order is built.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.

Carson Airport is the general aviation field for Carson City and the Sierra gateway. Airport catering here is a quiet operation, coordinated with the FBO services on the field and the ground handling services that meet each tail at the apron.
As a business aviation hub for the Tahoe corridor, Carson sees inflight catering and in-flight catering requests for short hops, with the FBO services and ground handling services on the field working to the aircraft's slot. Aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same standard, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are packed apart.
Inside the United States, food moves freely out of KCXP, and the FBO services and ground handling services on the field only handle what is already ordered. Once a flight crosses a border, customs rules on meat, fish and produce apply at the other end, and we adjust the order to match.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The cabin briefing at KCXP included 2 passenger meals, a request for fresh fruit and breakfast pastries, and instructions addressing a late menu amendment. This experience of in-flight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing crew briefing on another departure. The starters from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“My order at CSN covered avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 6 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of limited fridge space. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the canapés to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. For our team, the strongest part of their aviation catering was how they handled final order confirmation.”
“For 2 passengers departing from Carson Airport, the agreed menu was mushroom risotto and a green salad; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls kept the desserts separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the side dishes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. I would discuss aviation catering services with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination.”
How much does private jet catering cost? Not one number: a steak dinner for six costs more than sandwiches for two. For a crew sitting out a day at KCXP, we quote the exact meals asked for and nothing is bundled with the aircraft.
For Carson City, lead time follows the departure slot more than anything. A short turn keeps the menu cold and simple; with more ground time, we can finish hot dishes. Late changes are handled.
Domestic flights from KCXP face no customs issue with local products, so trout, basque chorizo and Sierra honey travel easily. If you cross a border, customs rules at the destination apply, and we pack accordingly.
Food brought on board must respect customs and food-import rules at both ends. For a Carson trip abroad, we advise ordering through us so every item is documented.
No. A charter into Carson City does not include food. Tell us the aircraft type and we plan around its galley, then bill the order separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
