Catering to your aircraft in Fort Sumner.
Fort Sumner Municipal is a small New Mexico field where a jet can sit for hours. We cook and pack the menu for that wait and deliver to the aircraft.
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.
New Mexico cooking travels well in a galley. The private jet menu for Fort Sumner leans on the chile of the state: red and green, served as a sauce apart so it never soaks a tortilla on the way. This inflight menu is private jet food built from local specialities of the Pecos valley and the eastern plains.
Private jet platters here mean a board of cured and smoked meats, white cheese and warm tortillas, plus gourmet inflight meals such as braised beef with posole. Private jet snacks are piñon nuts, biscochitos and roasted chile, the local specialities that keep in a drawer. Everything is packed for a New Mexico departure from Fort Sumner.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Billy the Kid's grave is the reason most people know Fort Sumner, and the reason a jet lands at KFSU. Private jet catering for that trip is simple: New Mexico flavour, packed by former VIP flight attendants for the galley you actually have. Our inflight catering and in-flight catering reach the FBO ramp the same way each time, as aviation catering, business aviation catering or executive jet catering. For a ministerial stop, diplomatic flight catering is cleared first, and cabin crew meals can be added to the same order.
A typical KFSU trip is a light or midsize jet bringing a small group to the Pecos valley. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here run to a few covers, VIP flight catering for a guest who wants green chile, and charter flight catering for a one-night stop. Luxury inflight catering stays simple: a private jet chef cooks, we pack a bespoke menu around your galley.
When a government aircraft uses KFSU, the menu is cleared first and the team is named. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: government flight catering is cooked after protocol approves it, and nobody else is told.
Eastern New Mexico cooking leans on wheat tortillas, lard, pork and cheese, so special meals at Fort Sumner are handled as a procedure: kosher and halal meals sealed and labelled by seat, vegan and gluten free dishes built on corn and beans, allergen free trays kept on a separate board, and kids meals simple enough for a short flight. Chile sauces often hide flour thickener, so it is checked for every special meal.
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.
On a field with no restaurant on the ramp, crew meals matter. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals as crew catering in sealed crew meal boxes, cockpit meals that eat easily, and different meals for pilots on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest.
FBO catering at Fort Sumner is handed over at the FBO ramp, with catering delivery to the FBO arranged through your handling agent. At a small general aviation terminal the ground handling catering is simple, and handling agent catering follows your slot.
Fort Sumner Municipal handles light and midsize jets, so galley catering here is a matter of the aircraft's door and drawers rather than a high loader. Airside catering delivery is carried to the steps by hand at the FBO ramp, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout you give us: oven, chiller or drawers only.

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

Fort Sumner Municipal is a small airport in De Baca County, New Mexico, and a quiet business aviation hub for the eastern plains rather than a busy one. Airport catering is handled by order. General aviation traffic uses it for the town and the historic sites; FBO services and ground handling services are modest.
As a business aviation hub Fort Sumner is occasional: visitors to the Billy the Kid sites and ranch owners. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here are ordered case by case, as business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering when needed. Cabin crew meals are on request, and crew meals follow the same order.
For a business aviation hub with international arrivals, the rule is simple: flights from abroad clear United States customs at a port of entry before reaching Fort Sumner, and imported fresh food is restricted. Domestic catering from New Mexico carries no such limit.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Timing and organisation mattered at FSU, where our order of a cheese board and savoury canapés for 5 people involved a short ground stop. With VIP flight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The desserts were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
“With different crew meal preferences to consider at Fort Sumner Municipal Airport, we needed a practical way to serve avocado toast components and breakfast fruit to 7 passengers. The Galley Girls grouped the side dishes by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the crew provisions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. With charter flight catering, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Despite different crew meal preferences, we wanted the 2 guests at KFSU to enjoy roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings without a complicated cabin service. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in individual containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the snack boxes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. My main takeaway from this private jet food order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”
Think in dishes: biscochitos and piñon snacks cost little, smoked brisket and green chile stew cost more, and a long Fort Sumner wait adds crew meals. Private jet catering is quoted on your order, then invoiced like the rest.
Tell us the departure slot and whether the aircraft stays. A stop with passengers away for the day is straightforward; a quick turn gets cold dishes. We handle last-minute orders and confirm the plan by phone or email.
Our approach is plain: everything is cooked, packed and labelled by dish, so a New Mexico specialty is easy to declare. Ask us before an international departure and we adjust the menu.
Crews do carry their own food, but entering the United States with fresh items is regulated. If your aircraft lands at KFSU after an international sector, declare it, or let us pack the meals here.
No, it is not included in the aircraft price. Send the type and the galley layout for your Fort Sumner flight and we propose a menu that fits an oven, a chiller, or only drawers.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
