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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Coeur d'Alene

Anyone planning a private jet menu for Coeur d'Alene starts with the season. Summer means huckleberries, cherries and sweet corn; winter means game, root vegetables and smoked trout. These local specialities in Idaho are packed to survive a bumpy climb out of a 2,320-foot field.

The inflight menu for Coeur d'Alene is built like a short tasting list: one cold plate, one dish for the oven, one sweet. Private jet food from the Idaho panhandle needs very little handling at altitude, which suits the single-oven galleys of the light jets that visit.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field (KCOE)

Northern Idaho kitchens lean on dairy, wheat and tree nuts, so allergens hide in sauces and baked goods more than on the plate. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests at Coeur d'Alene, special meals are prepared on separate boards and sealed, with kids meals available on the same order. We ask for the passenger's restriction, not just the label, so the galley team knows exactly what each tray holds.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field

For a crew sitting out a guest stay at KCOE, crew meals are an order of their own, on request and billed as such. Flight crew meals are packed for the galley or the crew car, pilot meals keep to one-hand eating, and crew catering can be set up for a long wait. Cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes marked by role; different meals for pilots are a standard request, and cabin crew meals are a third box if the cabin needs one.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field (KCOE)

Your handling agent at Coeur d'Alene is our contact on the ground. FBO catering arrives at the general aviation terminal, and catering delivery to the FBO is passed across for loading. Ground handling catering is as simple as a name, a tail number and a door; handling agent catering needs nothing else.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field (COE)

Most aircraft at KCOE are light and midsize jets that load by hand through the main door, so airside catering delivery is a matter of trolleys and cases at the steps, not a lift. Galley catering is planned around the type: one oven, a small drawer, limited chiller space. Aircraft provisioning for a larger visitor is agreed with the handling agent before arrival.

About the airportKCOE / COE

Airport catering at Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field (KCOE)

Coeur d'Alene Airport, also known as Pappy Boyington Field, serves northern Idaho's lake country with a single runway and a general aviation terminal. It is airport catering for a small field with a big summer, and general aviation is its core traffic. FBO services and ground handling services are limited but steady.

Business aviation

A business aviation hub in miniature: KCOE sees owners, golf groups and corporate guests more than scheduled traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered by tail number and slot. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering are on offer, diplomatic flight catering is handled through protocol, and cabin crew meals can be added.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from abroad at Coeur d'Alene clear US customs at a designated airport first, so food regulations follow CBP rules for meat, dairy and fresh produce. Domestic legs have no such restrictions, and our menus use domestic ingredients to keep it simple.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Small packing details became important at COE: our 4 passengers wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and we had a late menu amendment. I wanted clear identification on the snack boxes; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. This experience of flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure. Keeping the breakfast portions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 6 passenger portions of a selection of petits fours and sandwiches were the easy part; managing a tight boarding window at Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field took more planning. For flight catering services, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the breakfast portions to arrive in shallow trays. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

Imran U. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“We kept the passenger brief simple at KCOE: mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 8 guests, organised with two separate meal services in mind. This experience of airline catering gave us a useful reference for managing final order confirmation on another departure. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the crew provisions readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Ordering for KCOE, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg with two services at Coeur d'Alene?+

Cost depends on what is served twice. A cold first service and a warm second service for six passengers on a long Coeur d'Alene departure is quoted line by line, with the same invoicing as any other order.

What is the lead time for a changing passenger count at Coeur d'Alene?+

Late changes in headcount are the normal case for Idaho weekend traffic. Lead time stays short when the menu uses seat-by-seat items like cheese boards, individual trout plates and boxed desserts.

What about customs for a delegation or government flight at Coeur d'Alene?+

KCOE is a domestic field for most traffic, so customs only matters when a delegation arrives from abroad. In that case produce and meat follow US import rules, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol before cooking starts.

Can you bring food of your own, or arrange a kosher, halal, allergen or child meal at Coeur d'Alene?+

If a passenger has an allergy, bringing food from home can mean unknown ingredients on a galley surface. Ordering a special meal lets us control the preparation and keep it separate.

Is catering part of a charter into Coeur d'Alene when the crew waits on the ground?+

A private jet charter contract does not cover catering, so a crew waiting for guests at Pappy Boyington Field arranges food themselves. We take that order, with crew meals on request and billed like the passenger menu.
