Catering to your aircraft in Durant.
Eaker Field is a quiet general aviation airfield in southern Oklahoma, busy on Lake Texoma weekends and quiet midweek. We cook and pack for the galley on your tail, then hand it to the crew at the 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.
Durant belongs to the Choctaw Nation and to the Red River borderland with Texas, and the private jet menu for Oklahoma reflects both. Local specialities you can put on an inflight menu: pecans from the southern Oklahoma groves, Oklahoma beef, smoked brisket, chicken-fried steak plated lighter, fried okra, cornbread, peach cobbler in season and Lake Texoma catfish. Private jet food from this part of Oklahoma travels well when the sauce stays apart and the greens stay cold.
Private jet platters for Durant lean on what southern Oklahoma does well. Gourmet inflight meals can be built around Oklahoma beef, pulled pork, cornbread and a pecan dessert, with fried items kept for the ground. Private jet snacks are pecans, jerky and fruit for a short leg back toward Dallas or Oklahoma City. These local specialities are cooked and packed for a small cabin galley. Private jet food in Oklahoma is hearty, so we cut portions to the aircraft and keep the menu for Durant, Oklahoma short and honest.

Eaker Field sits at 699 feet in southern Oklahoma, a short general aviation runway for Lake Texoma weekends and Choctaw Nation business, and private jet catering here is built around a galley that rarely has more than a warmer. Inflight catering for these cabins is cooked elsewhere and re-plated on board. In-flight catering for a Durant leg stays simple: cold plates, a sealed main, sauces apart. Aviation catering at DUA is a single handover to your FBO. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and cabin crew meals follow the same pattern, and even diplomatic flight catering is handed over at the apron, never inside the terminal.
Corporate jet catering into DUA is usually a short brief: type, headcount, restrictions. Business jet catering for Oklahoma tends to be hearty, so the private jet chef trims portions. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering get a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering stays plated and cold when the galley is only a drawer.
When a state visit aircraft catering order lands at Eaker Field, the protocol office clears the menu first. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are discreet by default, with traceable sourcing and seat-number labels only.
Special meals at Durant are a procedure built around a Southern kitchen, where flour in the gravy, pork in the beans and butter in the cornbread hide allergens. Kosher and halal meals are ordered sealed, vegan and gluten free plates are cooked and packed on separate boards, allergen free requests get their own marked box, and kids meals are cut small for a short leg out of DUA. A seat number marks each tray.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at Durant are on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest, and a night rotation here means a late box that eats easily. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed as crew catering, cockpit meals fit a tray table, crew meal boxes carry no passenger label, and different meals for pilots can be specified. Cabin crew meals come in a separate box.
At Eaker Field the FBO is the single handover point. Handling agent catering is coordinated with your agent, FBO catering reaches the apron by the general aviation terminal, and the catering delivery to the FBO is signed for on your slot. Ground handling catering is the same here as at any airport.
At Durant the aircraft type decides the loading: a light jet or turboprop on the apron at Eaker Field takes a few insulated boxes by hand, while a larger cabin needs a high loader for galley catering and aircraft provisioning. Airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, who opens the gate. We pack to the galley fitted on your tail.

Eaker Field is a general aviation airport at 699 feet. Airport catering here pairs with FBO services and ground handling services, and the field acts as a modest business aviation hub on the Texas border.
Durant gets seasonal bursts: summer lake traffic and winter hunting parties. Inflight catering and in-flight catering scale with the cabin, aviation catering and business aviation catering are handled by the FBO, executive jet catering suits a bigger tail, diplomatic flight catering is discreet, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart.
International arrivals into the United States clear customs before catering is loaded, and food brought in on a foreign leg faces limits on meat and dairy. A flight inside the country, which is most traffic at Durant, needs no declaration for Oklahoma-sourced food.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Small packing details became important at Durant Regional Airport - Eaker Field: our 10 passengers wanted avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and we had a small galley worktop. I want a private jet catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the sandwiches, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the starters before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Before our guests boarded at KDUA, we needed a mezze selection with flatbreads divided into 5 portions suitable for two separate meal services. The sandwiches supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the desserts without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience.”
“Nothing about the 9 guest order at DUA called for excess complexity: just herb chicken with a quinoa salad and sensible planning for a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the crew provisions readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The salads were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about storage requirements.”
Cost follows what you order, not the airport. A flight arriving in Durant from abroad carries its own food rules, since US customs treat meat, dairy and fresh produce carefully, so a menu bought locally often costs less than one carried in. Pecan salad and cornbread are cheaper than catfish or beef.
The aircraft decides. Light jets with minimal galleys get compact menus, large cabins get full service, and last-minute orders for DUA are handled in both cases.
Seasonal weather moves the departure time, not the rules. US customs apply to food arriving on an international leg, and catering delivered in Durant avoids that question entirely.
Bringing food is possible, and our usual advice for a return is to order the way back from Durant: a cold lunch, a warm main, snacks apart, all labelled by seat.
Not at all: a private jet charter to Eaker Field never carries the meals with it. Night or dawn, you order, we deliver at the aircraft, and it is billed separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
