Catering to your aircraft in Elko.
Elko Regional runs on mining and ranch traffic at 5,140 feet, and winter mornings are cold on the ramp. We cook for that galley and hand it to the aircraft, for the crew who serve it.
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.
Elko is Basque country in the middle of Nevada, and the private jet menu for Elko Regional starts there. Basque lamb stew, chorizo and slow-cooked beans travel well as an inflight menu: cooked, chilled, sent in oven-safe trays and finished in the galley. Nevada ranch country adds beef, trout and sourdough, so the private jet food list leans hearty rather than delicate.
For Nevada, local specialities mean ranch beef, mountain trout and a Basque table that Elko is known for. Gourmet inflight meals built from them are cooked for the aircraft, with sauce apart, and private jet platters of cured meats, Basque cheeses and bread suit a cold lunch. Private jet snacks lean to jerky, nuts and dried fruit. Every private jet menu for Elko is written around what the galley can finish.

Elko Regional sits at 5,140 feet in the high desert of northeastern Nevada, and the cold winter air shapes what rides in a drawer. Our private jet catering here suits the usual traffic of mining executives and ranch-country charters: inflight catering built for a small galley, aviation catering that reaches the aircraft through your FBO, and business aviation catering for owners and operators. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same method, and cabin crew meals ride in their own marked box.
Elko flights are often corporate: a team to a mine, an owner to a ranch, a charter for hunters. For that, we offer business jet catering and corporate jet catering built for a small galley, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for guests, and luxury inflight catering where a private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu.
An official party arriving at KEKO needs a menu cleared by protocol, a named team and quiet handling. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow that route; VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are labelled by seat and handed to the aircraft through the handling agent.
Elko cooking leans on beef, lamb, wheat bread and dairy, so we plan allergens and special meals around that: kosher and halal are sealed and handed over unopened, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards, allergen free meals are boxed apart, and kids meals are simple and plain. It is a procedure written on the order, not a promise on a label.
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 KEKO, the people serving also need to eat, and crew meals are an optional item on the order, billed as it is. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering come labelled CREW; cockpit meals and crew meal boxes are separated, and different meals for pilots are written in when the policy asks. The cabin crew meals ride in that same marked box, so nobody has to hunt through the drawer.
At Elko, the FBO is where the food changes hands. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO follow your slot, and the general aviation terminal is the usual meeting point. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the trays reach the aircraft cleanly.
Most aircraft that come into Elko Regional are light and midsize jets, with a low cabin door where galley catering rides in by hand. For a larger aircraft, tell us the type: a high loader changes the airside catering delivery and how the aircraft provisioning is staged on the apron.
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.

Elko Regional is the main airport of northeastern Nevada, with a general aviation ramp used by mining, ranching and hunting traffic. Airport catering here is written for light and midsize aircraft and a modest apron.
Elko is a small business aviation hub where general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services carry the traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering suit the mine runs, aviation catering the autumn hunters, and business aviation catering the owner flights. Executive jet catering suits the owner runs, diplomatic flight catering the rare official arrival, and cabin crew meals ride along with either.
International arrivals into Elko go through US customs on arrangement, and US food import rules on meat, dairy and produce apply. We cook and seal items and give a printed list, so what is not allowed stays off the aircraft.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 12 people at Elko Regional Airport had to be organised around a short ground stop. I want a private jet catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the fruit plates, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The cabin team could match the sauces to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
“Choosing chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 4 people at KEKO was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with several individual meal preferences. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience. The sauces came from The Galley Girls in separate meal boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the breakfast portions to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
“One detail shaped our order at EKO: a family lunch request, alongside a request for a mezze selection with flatbreads for 11 passengers. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the sandwiches readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the crew provisions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about catering handover.”
Think in dishes. At Elko Regional, a tray of Basque lamb stew and a box of jerky and almonds are priced differently, and the airside handover with your handling agent is set when you confirm.
If you are repositioning into Elko with no passengers, say so. We pack only the crew side, label it, and the FBO receives it. Last-minute orders are handled, day or night.
On a long leg with two services, we pack each service separately, so a clear label shows what is for which sector. For a flight arriving from abroad into KEKO, US import rules on meat and produce apply, and we plan around them.
You can, but for an international arrival customs may stop fresh items. Our advice at KEKO is to order the core menu and add a few extras at the last minute, since changed headcounts are easy to absorb.
No. Even on a state or delegation flight, the food is not part of the charter: it is ordered on its own and invoiced on its own. Give us the aircraft and the party size, and the trays are cooked for that galley and handed over via the FBO.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
