Catering to your aircraft in Seymour.
KSER does not look like a hub, and it should not be catered like one. Small galley, small drawer, one oven: the order here is built around the aircraft sitting on the ramp in Seymour.
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.
Indiana cooking is farm cooking, and a private jet menu out of Seymour can lean on it honestly. The inflight menu for Freeman Municipal draws on local specialities: Hoosier-style pork tenderloin, sweet corn in season, and the sugar cream pie that is the state's best-known dessert. Private jet food from this region travels well when it is planned for the galley, so the tenderloin is breaded and finished in the oven, the corn salad stays chilled and the pie is cut per passenger.
Private jet platters for Indiana start with what grows around Seymour: heirloom tomatoes in late summer, sweet corn, apples in autumn and Indiana pork. Gourmet inflight meals built from these local specialities keep the Midwest character without needing a full kitchen on board, and private jet snacks such as popcorn, pretzel bites and cheese curds suit short hops out of KSER. Each item is packed for the galley, with sauce apart where it matters.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Corn, soybeans and Indiana pork surround Seymour, and that shapes what comes out of the kitchen for a KSER departure. Private jet catering for SER covers cold platters, hot plated mains and crew meals, handed over at the FBO terminal. Business aviation catering at a field like this is a short brief: who flies, how many seats, what the galley has. Executive jet catering orders follow the same rhythm, and diplomatic flight catering for a visiting delegation is cleared by protocol before anything is cooked. Cabin crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced like everything else.
Seymour sees midsize jets on corporate and charter legs, and the brief rarely needs more than a menu that fits the drawer. Business jet catering, corporate jet catering and charter flight catering all run through the same order; luxury inflight catering and VIP flight catering add plated service, and our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu when the passengers ask for one.
When a delegation uses KSER, VIP aviation catering follows the protocol office's list: restrictions, seat plan, traceability. State visit aircraft catering and head of state flight catering are packed separately from every other order, and government flight catering is delivered to the aircraft by agreement with your handling agent.
Special meals at Freeman Municipal are handled as a procedure, not a label. In farm country the allergens to watch are wheat in breading, dairy in the casseroles and tree nuts in desserts, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are cooked and packed on separate boards and marked by seat number, not by name.
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.
A crew waiting out duty time at Seymour wants food that eats in a few bites. Our crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed apart from the guest trays; crew catering is on request and invoiced as usual, cockpit meals and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are available on request.
FBO catering at KSER means a handover at the general aviation terminal or on the ramp. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the aircraft's slot. Handling agent catering is simply coordination: who opens the gate, where we park, who receives the trays.
Most aircraft at KSER are light or midsize jets with a compact galley, so galley catering is sized to the drawer and the single oven, and trays are labelled by seat. Airside catering delivery is made to the aircraft with the FBO's access, and a larger type changes the loading plan, so aircraft provisioning starts with the type and the 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.

KSER is a municipal field serving Seymour and the surrounding corn country. General aviation traffic uses the FBO services and ground handling services on the field, and airport catering follows the ramp's rhythm.
Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Seymour serve a modest business aviation hub: business aviation catering for corporate travellers, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering on rare visits and cabin crew meals ordered on request. Traffic peaks around racing and college events in the region.
Seymour is an inland US airport, so international customs clearance for catering is rarely an issue at departure. Food import rules at the destination decide what can stay in the galley.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 2 people at SER had to be organised around a changing departure schedule. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the crew meals arrangements. The side dishes came from The Galley Girls in divided catering boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. The sandwiches were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 2 guests, but a revised passenger count also had to be considered when organising beef fillet with roasted potatoes at Freeman Municipal Airport. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the salads had been grouped. The main courses went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. For our team, the strongest part of their FBO catering was how they handled galley preparation.”
“Service planning came first at KSER, with 6 passengers choosing a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables and different crew meal preferences influencing our preparation. The fruit plates from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the sauces stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. This experience of airport catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure.”
Cost is set order by order. A last-minute move from four to seven guests out of KSER is handled; the quote is simply redone for the seats flying.
For head of state or diplomatic flight catering at SER, lead time is mostly about approvals and restrictions. Once the menu is agreed, the rest is a normal order handed over at the FBO; late changes are handled.
US departures with special meals are straightforward; the customs question is about where you land. We label every tray so the destination's inspector can see what is inside.
Short answer: yes. Practical answer: at a small field like KSER, ordering crew meals on request is easier than leaving the aircraft during duty time.
Is catering part of a charter? Not here. At KSER you order it as a separate line, and the slot and turnaround decide only where and when we meet the aircraft.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
