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 Hammond

Hammond sits in the Florida Parishes of Louisiana, a few steps from Creole and Cajun cooking that has never needed a restaurant to be good. A private jet menu for this field starts with what the northshore is known for: strawberries from the Ponchatoula area in season, Louisiana shrimp, crawfish when the season runs, andouille, rice-based dishes and pecan sweets. Local specialities travel differently from one another. Gumbo and jambalaya go in sealed pots and finish in the galley oven. Boiled shrimp and a remoulade ride chilled. Pralines and bread pudding need nothing at all. Our inflight menu for Louisiana keeps each dish in the form that survives a drawer, and private jet food from here is plated by the crew, not rebuilt from scratch. The region leans on seafood, so allergen notes sit on every lid.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport (KHDC)

The Hammond northshore is a Friday-evening kind of airport: owners flying in for a football weekend, a wedding in the pines, or a business trip across the lake. Private jet catering for that kind of rotation works best when it is planned around the galley, not the menu card. Business aviation catering at KHDC means a Louisiana table adapted to what your aircraft can heat, and executive jet catering that keeps hot dishes sealed and sauce in its own pot. For protocol movements we handle diplomatic flight catering with a named team, and every order carries cabin crew meals marked CREW. Inflight catering and in-flight catering both start with a short call.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Hammond (KHDC)

A business jet catering order at Hammond usually follows a weekend pattern: a corporate jet arrives, the group heads for an event in the pines, and the crew wants a cold lunch and a hot dinner for the way back. Corporate jet catering here means VIP flight catering built around Louisiana dishes, charter flight catering for groups with mixed needs, and luxury inflight catering where the private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley. Tell us the type and the seat plan.

Special meals

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport

Louisiana kitchens run on shellfish stock, butter roux and pork fat, so the allergen question here is real, not a checkbox. Dietary meals for KHDC are cooked on their own board and sealed in their own box, with the card on the lid: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals, all marked by seat number and restriction. Special meals also cover a gumbo made without shellfish stock when that is what the guest needs, and we ask you to tell us the card before anything is cooked.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport

FBO catering at Hammond ends at the general aviation terminal, where we hand the order to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated through ground handling catering channels, and handling agent catering means the same person who parks the aircraft takes the trays. Weather on the ramp matters: summer storms move the handover indoors.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport

A galley catering order for a larger aircraft at Hammond changes the logistics, not the menu: a bigger cabin needs a high loader at the door, and the handling agent arranges access to the ramp. For airside catering delivery we confirm the door height and the galley layout, then pack by trolley and by zone so aircraft provisioning goes in one pass. Tell us the type and the seat plan and we pack for the galley you have.

About the airportKHDC

About Hammond Northshore Regional Airport (KHDC): airport catering for business aviation

Also listed as HDC.

Hammond Northshore Regional is a general aviation airport on the Louisiana northshore, at 47 feet elevation. Airport catering here is simple: one field, a small terminal, and handling that knows the crews. We deliver to the FBO and tell you what the weather and the slot allow.

Business aviation

The northshore sees general aviation traffic all year, with peaks around football and festival weekends. Business aviation catering at this business aviation hub covers executive jet catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering, with diplomatic flight catering for protocol visits and cabin crew meals for every crew. Aviation catering follows FBO services and ground handling services on the field.

Customs & food import

International arrivals into the United States follow US Customs and Border Protection rules on imported food, and the handling agent explains what leaves the aircraft. Food we cook here is domestic, packed sealed and labelled, so it is simple to inspect.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Clear quantities were essential at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport: we had 5 passengers expecting beef fillet with roasted potatoes and were working around a small galley worktop. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the sandwiches had been grouped. The desserts went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. For in-flight catering services, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Henrik A. | Chief flight attendant

Gulfstream G700

★★★★★CHARTER

“One detail shaped our order at KHDC: a changing departure schedule, alongside a request for a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 10 passengers. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. My main takeaway from this aviation catering order was the practical approach to packing arrangement. Our colleague could take over the salads without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Rather than an elaborate service at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport, our 8 guests wanted herb chicken with a quinoa salad, organised sensibly around different crew meal preferences. This experience of aviation catering services gave us a useful reference for managing portion planning on another departure. I wanted clear identification on the breakfast portions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the side dishes identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Ordering for KHDC, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Hammond?+

Louisiana menus show how catering cost works. Gumbo in a sealed pot is modest, crawfish etouffee in season is not, and ordering the return leg's meals from Hammond means we cook them together. The price follows what you choose, so tell us the menu and we quote.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at KHDC?+

Early slots and night departures are the usual challenge at a small general aviation field, since the FBO may open its doors on your schedule. We plan the handover to match and keep the menu to products we can get in season. Last-minute orders are handled and we answer 24/7.

What about customs when catering into Hammond?+

US customs treat inflight food from abroad strictly, so waste from international catering is normally disposed of under regulation. At KHDC, your handling agent controls airside access and knows the procedure. We cook locally, pack in sealed trays, and label everything for inspection.

Can you bring food on board yourself at Hammond?+

You can carry food yourself, and on a short empty leg it is common. For guest flights we recommend ordering, because allergen cards and seat labels are part of the order. US customs rules on imported food apply either way.

Is catering part of a charter into Hammond?+

No, it is a separate order. When the flight is long enough for two services, we pack the first and second meals with separate heating notes so the crew is never guessing. The charter price does not include it, and neither does the invoice.
