Catering to your aircraft in Findlay.
Findlay is a general aviation field in Ohio farm country, where a light jet may land, turn and depart within a single working day. We cook, pack and label for the galley you have and hand it over 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.
Ohio cooking is farm cooking, and the local specialities around Findlay show it: sweet corn, Amish-style cheeses from the region, pierogi and kielbasa from the state's Polish communities, and Buckeye candies for the sweet end of the tray. A private jet menu for Findlay builds on those without making the galley work harder.
For the inflight menu at KFDY, we pick items that hold their texture: cold roast beef, grain salads, cheese boards and fruit. Hot items are cooked and chilled to be finished in the oven. Private jet food here is meant to look and taste like a proper plate once re-plated.
Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all packed for a small cabin. Whether the trip starts or ends in Ohio, the Findlay region gives crews a table that is familiar, filling and easy to serve.

Findlay Airport sits on a 813 ft Ohio plateau of flat farmland, a general aviation field where light jets and turboprops come in for corporate business. Private jet catering at KFDY is built for a small galley and a short ground stop, with the meal handed over at the FBO or at the aircraft door. Our inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are written by former VIP flight attendants. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for Findlay run to a short brief, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are quoted on request.
Findlay corporate traffic usually means a manufacturing or agricultural executive and a small cabin. Business jet catering here is a bespoke menu written with a private jet chef, with corporate jet catering and charter flight catering sharing one kitchen. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering are quoted by menu, not by flight.
When an official party lands at KFDY, the brief goes through protocol first. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering all rely on discretion, a named team and a delivery that does not draw attention.
Findlay kitchens cook a lot of dairy, wheat and cured pork, so special meals at KFDY are set out as a procedure: where the allergen sits in the dish, what is prepared on a separate board, and how it is boxed. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are packed apart and marked by seat. Kids meals are built to survive a drawer and a small oven.
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 KFDY the crew waits on the ground, and what they eat is their own order, on request and billed as such. Our crew meals are real plates: flight crew meals for the cabin, pilot meals for the cockpit, crew catering when the whole team is fed. Crew meal boxes are marked, and different meals for pilots are packed in separate boxes. Cockpit meals are made to eat without cutlery gymnastics.
At KFDY, FBO catering is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft door, with the handling agent opening the access. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged around your slot, and ground handling catering follows the same route. Handling agent catering stays simple: one contact, one handover.
Most traffic at Findlay Airport is light and midsize jets with a low door, so galley catering is carried by hand and a cart rather than a high loader. If a larger cabin arrives, tell us the type and we plan airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning around its door height and galley layout.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Findlay Airport is a general aviation airport in Hancock County, Ohio, at 813 ft elevation. Airport catering here serves corporate flights, owner-pilots and the occasional charter, with FBO services and ground handling services on the field.
Findlay is a small business aviation hub where flights follow the work calendar of Ohio industry. Aviation catering and inflight catering are planned per trip, in-flight catering suits the shorter legs, and business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are quoted when needed. Cabin crew meals complete the order.
A flight arriving at KFDY from abroad is subject to US customs and USDA rules on food. Because those rules refuse some imported items, catering is prepared in Ohio and handed over on the ground, so the galley is stocked with food that passes.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Despite a revised passenger count, we wanted the 3 guests at KFDY to enjoy beef fillet with roasted potatoes without a complicated cabin service. For crew meals, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the main courses could be arranged during service. The salads stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”
“Working around different crew meal preferences at FDY, I asked for prawn salad and small fruit plates in portions appropriate for our 9 passengers. For our team, the strongest part of their FBO catering was how they handled meal organisation. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
“The cabin briefing at Findlay Airport included 4 passenger meals, a request for roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, and instructions addressing a revised passenger count. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the desserts clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the sandwiches listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. For airport catering, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
Government and delegation flights are the widest range we see. At Findlay Airport a small official party eating cold plates costs far less than a full plated service with kosher or halal lines. Private jet catering cost follows the menu you pick, quoted before anything is cooked.
At Findlay Airport, a special-meal request moves fastest when it comes with the seat plan and the nature of the allergy. Allergen free and child plates are cooked on separate boards. Lead time is simple here, and late changes are handled.
Customs affects the galley on any flight that touches US soil from abroad: agricultural items are inspected, and some are refused. Findlay crews who wait on the ground with a short duty window get boxed crew meals bought locally instead.
Passengers can bring food, but crews at KFDY with a tight slot rarely want to manage it. A pre-ordered tray is already boxed, labelled by seat and ready when the aircraft shuts down.
Catering sits outside a private jet charter into KFDY. Local products such as Buckeye candies or regional cheese are selected by you, ordered through us and invoiced separately from the flight.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
