Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Private jet catering with local specialities from Ephrata

Ephrata sits in the Columbia Basin of Washington, where irrigation turned sagebrush into orchard and wheat country. A private jet menu here follows the harvest: Rainier and Bing cherries in early summer, Honeycrisp and Gala apples through autumn, Walla Walla sweet onions, hazelnuts, and Washington wheat bread.

Local specialities travel well. Cherries and apples ride in a chilled box, smoked Pacific salmon and Dungeness crab come in as cold plates, and a Columbia Valley wine-region cheese board is cut by the head, not by the table. Private jet platters are portioned for the seat count you tell us.

For gourmet inflight meals we cook a roasted chicken with Yakima Valley vegetables, or a wild salmon fillet with the sauce apart and a Re-plate cold finish. Private jet snacks run to dried cherries, apple chips and marcona-style nuts. This inflight menu changes with the season, so the private jet food you see in July is not the list in December.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ephrata Municipal Airport (KEPH)

Ephrata Municipal sits at 1,276 ft in the dry Columbia Basin, a field used by business aviation heading to Moses Lake, the Gorge and the orchards of central Washington. Private jet catering here is built around that basin: cherries, apples, and cold plates that hold in a drawer. Inflight catering for the galley, aviation catering for the crew, in-flight catering for a quiet turn. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering sit alongside diplomatic flight catering for the occasional protocol movement, with cabin crew meals boxed on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Ephrata for business and VIP flights (EPH)

Business jet catering at Ephrata is usually a small-cabin brief: four to six passengers, a drawer rather than an oven, a departure timed around the weather. Corporate jet catering for those flights is cold, labelled by seat, and VIP flight catering stays discreet. Charter flight catering follows the same logic, and luxury inflight catering means a cherry bowl in June or a salmon plate in November. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around the galley you have.

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Ephrata Municipal Airport

When an official movement uses Ephrata Municipal, government flight catering is organised around protocol, not convenience. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: the menu is agreed first, packed sealed, and handed to your handling agent.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Ephrata Municipal Airport

Special meals at Ephrata follow the same rule as anywhere: a procedure, not a label. Kosher comes sealed and stays sealed; halal is sourced and packed apart; vegan and gluten free plates use their own board and utensils. In a region built on wheat, apples and hazelnuts, we check allergen free orders against nut dusts and flour carry-over, and kids meals are portioned for small hands and a short tray table.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Ephrata Municipal Airport

Ephrata Municipal is a small-aircraft field, so most arrivals are light and mid-size jets whose galley catering goes up the airstair, not on a lift. Where a larger cabin does come in, we agree the door and the airside catering delivery with your handling agent beforehand. Aircraft provisioning is sized to the galley you tell us you have: a single oven, a drawer, no more.

About the airportKEPH / EPH

About Ephrata Municipal Airport (EPH): airport catering for business aviation

Ephrata Municipal (KEPH/EPH) is a small municipal airport in Grant County, Washington, at 1,276 ft elevation. Airport catering here serves general aviation and the occasional business jet, with FBO services and ground handling services kept simple.

Business aviation

Ephrata is a modest stop on the business aviation map, where inflight catering and in-flight catering are built for small cabins. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are most often cold and portioned. Executive jet catering suits owners flying themselves, diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible, and cabin crew meals are packed on request. It works as a business aviation hub only in the loosest sense.

Customs & food import

For domestic flights into Ephrata there is no customs step, but an international leg raises agriculture rules on fresh fruit, meat and dairy. We tell you what can stay on board and pack sealed items for the return.

★★★★★CHARTER
“With a changing departure schedule to consider at Ephrata Municipal Airport, we needed a practical way to serve a cheese board and savoury canapés to 12 passengers. We changed the quantities of starters, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the main courses quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about jet catering.”
Katya Y. | Charter operator
Falcon 900LX
★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Before our guests boarded at KEPH, we needed grilled salmon with a lemon dressing divided into 6 portions suitable for different crew meal preferences. The salads supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. We could distinguish the desserts at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. For VIP flight catering, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
Andrew U. | FBO operator
Falcon 8X
★★★★☆BUSINESS JET
“On this departure from EPH, 10 passengers had chosen yoghurt pots and fresh berries, and a short ground stop needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of sandwiches with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. My main takeaway from this charter flight catering order was the practical approach to storage requirements. We also checked the side dishes before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Asked before every KEPH slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a light jet at Ephrata Municipal?+

Ask us after you tell us the tail. Ephrata flights are mostly small cabins, which keeps orders compact, while a larger jet with a crew of three and a hot menu is another number. Seasonal items, special meals and crew meals each appear as their own line.

What is the lead time for catering at Ephrata in cherry season?+

Lead time depends on how local you want to go. Washington cherries, Dungeness crab and wild salmon follow supply, while standard platters are always available. We take late changes and last-minute orders as part of the job.

Are there customs rules for a return leg ordered from Ephrata?+

Say where the return lands and we shape the order to match. Domestic returns accept almost anything we pack; international returns drop fresh fruit and some meats. Sealed packaging helps at inspection.

Can you bring food to a night departure or early morning slot at Ephrata?+

Yes, and we keep the order light for those hours: cold plates, breakfast items for early slots, hot dishes with the sauce apart for late evening. Delivery is plane-side, wherever your tail is parked.

Is catering part of a charter into Ephrata?+

Separate, always. A private jet charter does not carry catering with it. Tell us the aircraft and who handles it on the ground at Ephrata and we arrange airside access for the handover.
