Catering to your aircraft in Fort Stockton.
KFST is high, dry and wide open, a West Texas airfield where an arriving crew wants food that holds. Our team, former VIP flight attendants, packs for the galley and hands 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.
Fort Stockton sits in the Trans-Pecos corner of Texas, and the local specialities are ranch food by origin: smoked brisket, Tex-Mex plates and fruit from the Pecos valley. A private jet menu for Texas works when each dish is chosen for how it travels. Brisket slices and holds; enchilada trays finish in the galley oven; Pecos cantaloupe is cut to order and kept chilled. The inflight menu keeps the local specialities honest, with sauces apart and tortillas wrapped.
For a Fort Stockton trip, private jet food starts from what West Texas actually eats: mesquite-smoked meat, cheese enchiladas, pinto beans and desert-grown melon. We build the private jet menu around those local specialities and pack them as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, so the Texas flavour survives the walk to the apron and the time on board.

Fort Stockton Pecos County Airport sits at 3,011 feet in the West Texas desert, where a cabin can be empty on arrival and full on departure. Private jet catering here is built around that pattern: ranch-country food that travels well, packed for the galley you actually have. We handle inflight catering and aviation catering for business aviation catering requests, executive jet catering, and diplomatic flight catering, with cabin crew meals ordered on the same trip sheet.
At KFST, business jet catering is built around who is flying and what the galley allows. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all start with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu for your cabin; luxury inflight catering follows the same method.
Government flight catering at Fort Stockton is handled with discretion and traceability, from the first call to the handover. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering go through a named team, and the protocol office, not the kitchen, sets the menu.
West Texas cooking leans on beef, lard-cooked beans and flour tortillas, so allergens hide where a guest would not look. Special meals for KFST each get their own board and their own box, apart from the guest trays: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, and kids meals with plain portions the little ones will actually eat.
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 KFST, crew meals are a separate line, on request and invoiced. We pack flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering in labelled crew meal boxes, plus different meals for pilots when needed. Cockpit meals travel simply so the crew can eat on the ground or in the seat.
At Fort Stockton, FBO catering is delivered to the general aviation terminal and handed to the aircraft with your ground handling catering team. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent so handling agent catering reaches the apron.
Out on the Fort Stockton apron, the size of the aircraft decides how the trays get up to the cabin door. Light and midsize jets take galley catering by hand at the door, while a larger cabin needs airside catering delivery and sometimes a high loader. Your handling agent confirms access, and aircraft provisioning follows the type and the slot you give us.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Fort Stockton Pecos County Airport serves West Texas general aviation, and the field suits business jets that want a quiet runway and an uncrowded apron. Airport catering here is simple: one terminal, one handover, and FBO services and ground handling services that sit within a single building.
Fort Stockton is a business aviation hub in a modest way, and the same few people handle everything on the ground, from FBO services to ground handling services. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for owners, aviation catering and business aviation catering for charter operators, executive jet catering for repeat flyers, diplomatic flight catering when a state visit lands, and cabin crew meals ordered on the same trip sheet as crew meals.
Fort Stockton has no customs hall of its own, so international arrivals depend on the FBO services desk and ground handling services to confirm what food may stay on board. On domestic flights there is no border step in the order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Clear quantities were essential at FST: we had 11 passengers expecting fresh fruit and breakfast pastries and were working around limited fridge space. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sauces, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. I found the starters without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. My main takeaway from this business jet catering order was the practical approach to catering handover.”
“Menu approval at Fort Stockton Pecos County Airport covered a mezze selection with flatbreads for 5 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls grouped the side dishes by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about business aviation catering. Our colleague could take over the crew provisions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“Working around a late menu amendment at KFST, I asked for chicken skewers with a couscous salad in portions appropriate for our 9 passengers. My main takeaway from this jet catering order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the breakfast portions could be arranged during service. We could finish the canapés as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
Think of the return from KFST as its own order. How much does private jet catering cost depends on the menu for that leg, the number of seats, and whether hot items need your galley oven. Quoted before you confirm, invoiced after.
Lead time at Fort Stockton depends on the product: seasonal Pecos melon and smoked brisket are simple to source, while a fully kosher menu needs more planning. An early morning slot gets the same attention as midday, and last-minute orders are handled.
Airside access is the real question here: your handling agent confirms who can reach the aircraft and when. Customs only come into play on international flights, and regulations on agricultural items, fresh fruit and meat on board are the agent's call to explain.
Short hop, nobody to serve: bring food if you like. If the next departure from Fort Stockton has passengers, we can prepare and hand over their meals at the FBO, leaving the empty leg free of fuss.
Is catering part of a charter into Fort Stockton? No, the private jet charter price does not cover food. For two services on one leg, we usually pack a chilled first course and an oven-finished second, ordered and invoiced separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
