Catering to your aircraft in Indian Springs.
Indian Springs is high, dry and remote, and food for a flight out of KINS has to be planned before the slot. We prepare it as former VIP flight attendants would, labelled and ready for your galley at Creech.
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.
Indian Springs gives you few shortcuts, so the private jet menu is written before wheels-down. The region's local specialities are Southwestern: citrus, avocado, roasted peppers, chile-spiced meat and tortilla-based plates, all of which re-plate cleanly in a galley. An inflight menu for KINS stays light and chilled in summer and moves toward warm braises in winter nights.
Private jet food from the Nevada desert has to survive dry cabin air and long ground times. Private jet platters are built chilled with fruit and cheese, gourmet inflight meals finish in the oven with the sauce in its own pot, and private jet snacks stay simple. Local specialities are chosen for how they hold, not for show.
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.
At 3,133 ft in the Nevada desert, Creech Air Force Base is not a field where a galley can count on a nearby deli, so private jet catering for KINS is built and packed before the aircraft arrives. For crew, inflight catering here means water-forward, light, desert-proof plates, while in-flight catering for passengers leans on chilled platters that hold in dry heat. Aviation catering and business aviation catering orders are written against the aircraft's galley, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are quoted per menu like any other order.
When a business aircraft arrives at KINS, the brief starts from the galley and the headcount. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour chilled plates and one hot dish, VIP flight catering is labelled by seat, and charter flight catering is ordered apart. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering can be dressed up for the cabin.
At a military field like Indian Springs, access is controlled, so government flight catering is planned with the handling agent. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are sealed and labelled, and VIP aviation catering is handled by a small, named team.
Southwestern kitchens lean on cheese, flour tortillas, nuts and shared fryers, so allergens hide in places a menu does not show. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests for special meals at KINS are handled as a procedure: a separate board, a separate box, sealed and marked by seat. Allergen free plates and kids meals are cooked apart from the guest trays.
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 crews landing at KINS, crew meals are boxed for the jumpseat or the galley, on request and invoiced. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from guest trays, crew catering is marked CREW, cockpit meals travel in sealed boxes, and crew meal boxes can hold different meals for pilots.
Nothing reaches the aircraft at Creech Air Force Base without the base's say. FBO catering for KINS is therefore coordinated through your handling agent, who meets the food at the gate and walks it to the apron. Give us the slot and the cabin you are loading, and the handover to the general aviation terminal is written around that. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the field's access rules, and catering delivery to the FBO is sealed and labelled by seat so nobody has to open a box on a controlled ramp.
At Creech Air Force Base the aircraft type decides how food gets loaded, so galley catering is planned around the door height and the galley you actually have. Airside catering delivery to a large cabin may need a high loader for the cabin door, while a light jet takes a simple hand-carried load. Aircraft provisioning at KINS is agreed with your handling agent in advance.
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.

Creech Air Force Base, in Indian Springs, Nevada, is a military airfield at 3,133 ft elevation. Airport catering here is delivered through controlled access, and general aviation use is limited by the base.
Business aviation use at Creech is limited and organised through the base, so inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned per visit. Aviation catering and business aviation catering here are small, specific orders, while executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are quoted per menu.
US customs and agricultural rules apply at KINS to food coming in from abroad. As a business aviation hub it is minor, and general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services run through base access. Orders are sealed and labelled.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Having 4 guests request grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at KINS meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for an evening cabin service. The starters came from The Galley Girls in shallow trays, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the crew provisions to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about FBO catering.”
“Several practical details needed attention at INS, with roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables requested for 4 guests and a family lunch request to accommodate. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in sealed meal containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the salads as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. I would discuss airport catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination.”
“Choosing herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 4 people at Creech Air Force Base was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a family lunch request. The Galley Girls updated the snack boxes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. Our brief for inflight catering was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
Ordering the way back from INS usually means a shorter, simpler menu. Hot plates cost more than cold ones, premium proteins cost more than poultry, and the quote follows the plates you choose for the leg home.
Night and early morning slots at Creech are easier than they sound because kitchens plan backwards from your slot. Tell us the departure and last-minute orders are handled, so a late change to the menu does not mean a missed flight.
Customs for catering at KINS depends on whether you are arriving from abroad or flying domestic. International arrivals have declared food rules, and everything goes through the handling agent for airside access.
Bringing food on a short reposition to Indian Springs is allowed, within customs rules on international legs. If you would rather not carry it, a crew box is ordered and invoiced like any other item.
No, catering is outside the charter. For two services on a long leg we plan a meal and a lighter follow-up, and the order is handled and invoiced like any other.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
