Catering to your aircraft in Anchorage.
Summer light that never quite ends, winter ice on the apron: Elmendorf asks a lot of the galley. Our former flight attendants pack Alaska dishes that hold on a cold ramp and a long cruise.
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.
Alaska gives a private jet menu its best raw material: wild salmon, halibut, king crab and Kachemak Bay oysters. For an Anchorage departure we build the inflight menu around that catch, so the private jet food on board tastes of the place you just left. These local specialities are cooked and packed for the galley you actually have.
Smoked salmon is the Alaska classic, sliced thin and packed cold on a private jet platter with cream cheese, capers and rye. Reindeer sausage travels well hot, and wild blueberries and birch syrup finish a plate. Gourmet inflight meals from Anchorage lean on cold-water seafood and game, with clear notes on what is served chilled and what goes in the oven.
Private jet snacks from Alaska are simple and keep well: smoked salmon jerky, spruce-tip shortbread, wild blueberry bars and roasted nuts. They sit beside the main private jet platters when the sector is long and the crew wants something to pass around between meals.

Elmendorf Air Force Base sits on the north edge of Anchorage, where a business jet is often a fuel stop on a polar or trans-Pacific routing and the galley has to cover the next long leg. Private jet catering here means food that holds for hours: Alaska salmon, cold platters, sealed hot dishes. We also cover inflight catering for Pacific crossings, in-flight catering for tech stops, aviation catering for charter movements, business aviation catering for corporate flight departments, executive jet catering for owners flying through, diplomatic flight catering for official movements, and cabin crew meals for the long sector ahead.
At Elmendorf, business jet catering often means a corporate crew refuelling on a trans-Pacific routing. For corporate jet catering we pack cold platters and sealed hot dishes, and VIP flight catering follows the cabin plan. Charter flight catering is built per tail, luxury inflight catering uses Alaska seafood, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the sector ahead.
When an official aircraft transits Anchorage, the menu is approved by protocol, not the kitchen. We deliver government flight catering and head of state flight catering with sealed handover, VIP aviation catering with discretion, and state visit aircraft catering with traceable sourcing.
Special meals for an Anchorage departure start with the local kitchen: seafood and shellfish are everywhere, so allergen free means separate boards, separate boxes and a written check, not a promise. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed and are plated only at the aircraft. Vegan and gluten free dishes use grains and vegetables that hold up on a cold ramp, and kids meals are kept simple and mild.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On a crew rotation through Anchorage, crew meals are a separate line, ordered on request. Flight crew meals come boxed, pilot meals can differ for captain and first officer, and crew catering fits a short ground stop. Cockpit meals are easy to eat at the controls, crew meal boxes are marked for the seat, and different meals for pilots are packed apart.
On this military field, access matters: your handling agent clears the way for FBO catering at the aircraft. We coordinate catering delivery to the general aviation terminal, ground handling catering on the apron, and handling agent catering by phone or email.
Elmendorf sees heavy military and cargo types alongside business jets, so the aircraft type decides how we load. A large cabin jet may take trays through the main door, while a wide-body charter may need a high loader at the sill. Tell us the type and the galley, and our galley catering is packed to match. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent to the aircraft, and aircraft provisioning for a long Pacific sector is sized for the crew and every passenger on board.
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.

Elmendorf Air Force Base lies at the north edge of Anchorage and shares its airfield with a major joint military installation. For airport catering, that means access and protocol shape every handover. General aviation traffic here is sparse and arrives on arrangement.
Business aviation hub traffic here is mostly transits and fuel stops on long Pacific legs. We cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for those sectors, aviation catering for charter movements, and business aviation catering for corporate crews. Executive jet catering suits owner flights, diplomatic flight catering supports official movements, and cabin crew meals feed the crew for the leg ahead. FBO services and ground handling services are coordinated with your agent.
US customs and agriculture rules limit what a foreign-origin aircraft may keep on board, so many crews empty the galley at Anchorage and restock here. We flag restricted categories for your destination and pack accordingly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Before our guests boarded at PAED, we needed vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection divided into 9 portions suitable for a changing departure schedule. The sauces supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the sandwiches without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I would discuss jet catering with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination.”
“Breakfast was already sorted; at EDF, the next request was mushroom risotto and a green salad for 8 guests, with a small galley worktop to work around. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the desserts, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the side dishes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I would discuss VIP flight catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination.”
“An order of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 2 people at Elmendorf Air Force Base had to be organised around limited fridge space. I needed the canapés checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. I would discuss charter flight catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination. The salads remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
Cost follows what you order, and US food-import rules shape it: our menu is built from locally sourced ingredients, so nothing foreign needs clearing on arrival. Alaska seafood costs more than a cold plate of sourdough and cheese, and shellfish moves the price up again. How much does private jet catering cost for your leg depends on those choices, and we quote per menu, not per tray.
Lead time here depends on the galley: a large cabin aircraft takes a full hot service, while a small jet takes cold platters and one hot dish. Tell us the tail and slot and we pack for what the aircraft can actually do. Late requests are accepted, and the type decides how much we can hand over.
A winter departure from Anchorage can slip for ice or crosswind, and that matters more to the galley than customs does. Fresh, locally sourced food leaves without issue, but some countries restrict meat and dairy on arrival. We adjust the menu to your destination and keep the order flexible while the weather decides.
Own food is allowed in most cabins, but if the aircraft comes back through Alaska, a return order from here saves repacking. We prepare outbound and return meals together, with the return leg marked separately, and hand both over through your handling agent.
No, the charter does not carry catering. An early morning slot out of Anchorage means the food is ordered and invoiced separately, then handed over at the aircraft. We pack with a cold ramp in mind, and nothing is assumed until you confirm the menu.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
