Catering to your aircraft in Hastings.
At KHSI the traffic is corporate and owner-flown, and the galleys are small. We build menus that fit them, from sealed hot dishes to cold boards, and bring them 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.

Nebraska eats beef, corn and sweet ends of summer, and a private jet menu out of Hastings can use all three without needing a kitchen on board. Nebraska beef travels well as a sliced cold platter or as a short rib that finishes in the oven with the sauce in its own pot. Sweet corn is a July and August product; outside that window we lean on roasted corn salad. These local specialities make up the private jet food we pack at HSI, built as an inflight menu that survives a drawer and a small oven.
For a private jet menu at Hastings, the Nebraska pantry is plain and good: beef, sweet corn, sunflower seeds, apples from the autumn orchards, and the runza, the local bread pocket stuffed with beef and cabbage. We pack the runza to be warmed, the beef sliced for cold service, and the corn salad chilled. Private jet food from Nebraska suits short corn-belt sectors where passengers want something recognisable, and local specialities like these keep the inflight menu honest.
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.
Corporate flights into Hastings, Nebraska, usually carry four to six passengers and a crew of two, often on a same-day turn. We handle private jet catering for that profile at KHSI: business aviation catering with a compact menu, executive jet catering for owner-flown trips, diplomatic flight catering when a protocol office is involved, and cabin crew meals boxed separately from the guest trays.
Corporate flights into Hastings tend to be short and purposeful, so the brief is a menu that works in a small cabin. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for business jet catering, then adjusts it for corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering depending on who is on board and how long the leg is.
Government flight catering at KHSI is rare but handled with the same care as anywhere. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering start with a protocol-approved menu, traceability by named team, and strict confidentiality. For a state visit aircraft catering order, the menu is cleared before anything is cooked.
Special meals at Hastings are handled as a procedure, not a label. In a beef-and-wheat region the allergen risks are gluten in breading, dairy in the creamed sides and nuts in the pastries, so each restricted plate is built on its own board and packed in a separate sealed box. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are all ordered like any other dish, marked by seat number, and labelled so nobody opens the wrong tray.
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.
Crew meals at Hastings are packed for two pilots who may fly into a quiet field and wait. They are ordered on request, invoiced like everything else, and labelled CREW. Flight crew meals can be hot or cold, and pilot meals follow a simple rule: different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering is packed in crew meal boxes that open with one hand, because cockpit meals get eaten at the controls, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately from the guest trays.
At KHSI, FBO catering starts with a phone call or email to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is straightforward on a small field, and the general aviation terminal is where the boxes are handed over. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated to your slot.
Most aircraft at KHSI are light jets and turboprops with a low cabin door, so galley catering is carried up by hand instead of by high loader. If a larger business jet comes in, airside catering delivery stays the same: the FBO ramp team brings the boxes to the aircraft, and we plan aircraft provisioning around the galley type, the door height and the number of drawers you have, not around a fixed menu.

Hastings Municipal is a general aviation airport in south-central Nebraska at 1,961 ft, serving the Hastings area with a long hard-surface runway and an FBO. Airport catering here supports local corporate flights, and FBO services and ground handling services are available for visiting aircraft.
Hastings is a modest business aviation hub that sees its busiest days in harvest season and around college and sports events in the region. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders pick up in autumn, and aviation catering for business aviation catering customers often includes executive jet catering for owner-pilots. Diplomatic flight catering is rare, but when it happens the process is the same, and cabin crew meals are packed apart.
Customs at Hastings follows US federal practice: foreign-loaded food may be removed on arrival, and some produce cannot be unloaded. We recommend ordering from Nebraska for the departure, packed to US rules.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Having 4 guests request fresh fruit and breakfast pastries at KHSI meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for two separate meal services. I want a private jet catering company to understand crew briefing, and this order gave us a useful starting point. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the fruit plates before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
“Clear quantities were essential at HSI: we had 4 passengers expecting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing and were working around different crew meal preferences. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the desserts to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the side dishes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience.”
“Menu approval at Hastings Municipal Airport covered beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 12 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls updated the snack boxes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the sauces quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about final order confirmation.”
For an arrival that has crossed a border, private jet catering at Hastings usually costs more when we replace food that customs would remove. Where you stay with US-sourced produce, the bill follows only the menu you pick. We can quote both versions side by side if you tell us where the flight began.
Lead time for private jet catering at Hastings is mostly about getting the aircraft details right: tail, type, galley, seat plan. Once we have those, the order moves quickly, and last-minute orders are handled. A turboprop with one drawer needs a different menu from a mid-size jet with an oven.
Customs rules at Hastings follow US federal food-import policy: international leftovers are often not allowed to stay, and fresh produce from abroad may be seized. A winter storm or a summer front can hold you on the ground, so we pack the order to keep cold dishes cold and hot dishes sealed until you decide to go.
Yes, you may carry food, but for the return leg ordered from Hastings we recommend letting us pack it. The result is a menu that fits the drawer, with sauces apart and a clear plan for the oven, and no concern over what customs will or will not allow.
Is catering part of a charter? No: it is a separate order invoiced like any other. For an early morning slot at Hastings, we pack for a short ground time and give the crew a clear label for every box, so the loading takes a moment and the service in the air runs smoothly.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
