Catering to your aircraft in Madison.
At Madison, business traffic and game-day groups share one field. Our crew-written menus use Wisconsin cheese, fish and sausage, packed and labelled for the galley, and handed over at your FBO.
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.
Wisconsin gives Madison a private jet menu you cannot copy from a hotel list. Cheddar and aged Gruyere-style wheels from Wisconsin creameries, fresh cheese curds, and bratwurst are the local specialities that travel best in a galley. A private jet menu for Madison usually starts with a cheese board, because dairy here is the local product guests ask about.
The inflight menu at Truax Field follows the Wisconsin calendar. Spring brings asparagus and ramps, summer sweet corn and Door County cherries, autumn apples and cranberries from the central bogs. Private jet food from Wisconsin works because most of it is happy cold: cheese, summer sausage, smoked fish, cherry preserves.
Madison is a university and state-capital town, so private jet food orders swing between tailgate and boardroom. Local specialities such as brats with beer mustard, fish fry with tartar sauce apart, and Wisconsin cheese platters give the private jet menu a clear regional voice for Wisconsin trips.

Wisconsin dairy decides much of the menu at Dane County Regional Truax Field. We cook private jet catering for MSN and pack it for the galley you actually have, from business aviation catering for a corporate shuttle to executive jet catering for a game-day group. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same plane-side routine at the FBO.
Business jet catering at KMSN starts with who is flying: a corporate team out to Chicago, a university group, an executive on a day trip. Corporate jet catering and charter flight catering stay light and plated cold. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering add a private jet chef and a bespoke menu built around Wisconsin products.
When a delegation lands at Truax Field, government flight catering is arranged with the protocol office. Head of state flight catering means one team, labelled trays and a quiet handover. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering use the same procedure at every airport.
Dairy-heavy Wisconsin kitchens make allergen handling the first question at Madison: cheese, butter and cream turn up in sauces and breads where you do not expect them. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are packed in their own sealed containers with a seat number and restriction card, prepared on separate boards.
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.
On a Madison turn, crew catering is a separate line on your order, billed like the rest. Pilot meals and cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes, labelled CREW. Flight crew meals can be hot or cold, and different meals for pilots are packed on request. Everything is on request and invoiced with the order.
At Truax Field we pass the order to the FBO or your handling agent, who meets us at the gate. Ground handling catering, FBO catering and catering delivery to the general aviation terminal use one routine. Handling agent catering covers the walk to the apron and the loading at the door.
Most Truax Field traffic is light and midsize jets with a standard side door, so galley catering usually goes up by hand. For larger aircraft on a game weekend or a state charter, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, with aircraft provisioning matched to the galley layout and any high loader needed at the door.
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.

KMSN serves Madison and the Dane County region, with a runway long enough for midsize and large business jets. Airport catering meets general aviation here: FBO services, ground handling services and a customs-capable field for international arrivals.
Truax Field is a business aviation hub shaped by the university calendar, the state capital and summer lake traffic. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and business aviation catering orders rise on game days. Aviation catering for executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follows the same plane-side handover.
Flights arriving from outside the United States clear customs at Madison, and US agricultural rules restrict fresh meat, dairy and fruit brought from abroad. We cook in Wisconsin, so what we hand over is compliant. Leftover food from the origin should be handed over before the aircraft is cleared.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The 5 passenger portions of a charcuterie board and fresh bread were the easy part; managing limited fridge space at MSN took more planning. My main takeaway from this inflight catering order was the practical approach to meal organisation. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of side dishes matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
“With limited fridge space to consider at Dane County Regional Truax Field, we needed a practical way to serve a selection of petits fours and sandwiches to 6 passengers. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the crew provisions had been grouped. The cabin team could match the sauces to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. For in-flight catering, that attention to cabin service sequence made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“Between cabin checks at KMSN, I coordinated herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 6 guests and explained our concerns about an evening cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the desserts; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the main courses identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure.”
It depends on what you serve twice. For a long departure from MSN, a cheese board plus walleye, followed by a light second service of fruit and sandwiches, is quoted dish by dish. Asking how much private jet catering costs is really asking how many services and how many guests, and we give the figure up front.
Passenger numbers shift after tickets are issued and after the football result. We keep the menu flexible: cheese boards scale easily, plated hot dishes get re-portioned. Last-minute orders are handled day or night; only special meals ask for early notice.
Foreign delegations landing at Truax Field face US agricultural rules, so leftover cheese or fruit from a previous airport is a risk. We supply fresh catering and ask you to hand over any remaining food. Diplomatic and head-of-state flights get protocol-aware handling and an ingredient list.
Bringing your own is possible, though customs and galley handling make it less practical for a special meal. A kosher, halal or child's request is prepared apart, boxed, and marked with the seat number. Our Madison kitchen avoids dairy cross-contact on request.
No. A private jet charter and catering are different bookings. With tight crew duty time at MSN, you add the food order when you know the slot, and we deliver to your handling agent. The invoice for the meals stays separate.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
