Private jet catering at Houlton International Airport (KHUL / HUL), Houlton

Catering to your aircraft in Houlton.

Houlton International sits in Aroostook County, where potato fields meet the New Brunswick border, and the jets that come in are mostly small cabins with short galleys. We cook and pack for that galley, and for the crew who serve from it.

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 Houlton

Maine's northern tip eats from the ground and the sea, and a private jet menu built for Houlton starts there. Aroostook County is potato country, so a Maine potato gratin or a roasted fingerling side travels well in a galley oven, and an inflight menu here can lean on it without apology. Wild Maine blueberries, small and tart, end up in a tart, a compote or a chilled parfait that survives the cabin.

Private jet food at Houlton also reaches east to the coast: lobster rolls and steamed lobster are the obvious calls, with the shells and butter kept separate so nothing spills at altitude. Local specialities such as maple syrup glazed salmon and fiddlehead ferns in spring give Maine its own page on a private jet platter. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all written around what is actually in season in Maine.

For small cabins out of Houlton, private jet snacks are usually whole-fruit baskets, blueberry muffins and maple-roasted nuts, packed so the guest can open them without help. Local specialities in Houlton change with the month, and the galley decides which ones travel: whatever needs a hot finish gets a note for the oven.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Houlton International Airport (KHUL)

A 489-foot-elevation field in Aroostook County, Houlton International sits where Maine meets New Brunswick, and private jet catering here follows that border: customs paperwork first, menu second. Inflight catering for the galley is built around Maine potatoes, wild blueberries and Atlantic seafood, with aviation catering handed over at the FBO. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all run through the same order, and cabin crew meals ride along on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Houlton (KHUL)

Executives landing at Houlton International often want something that tastes of Maine without fuss. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around potatoes, blueberries and seafood, and business jet catering is packed for the galley of that aircraft. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are all ordered once and invoiced as one line; luxury inflight catering is a question of season, not of showmanship.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Houlton International Airport (HUL)

When an official flight passes through KHUL, the order is short, the paperwork is longer, and the kitchen works from a single named contact. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering all go through that contact, and nobody else sees the menu.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Houlton International Airport (KHUL)

Special meals at Houlton start from a short list of local facts: Maine seafood hides shellfish in more dishes than people expect, and the chowders and sauces often carry dairy. Kosher and halal meals are sealed at the kitchen and handed over unopened, vegan and gluten free plates are built on potato, root vegetables and grains, and allergen free meals are cooked on a separate board and labelled by seat. Kids meals are simple and cold-friendly: plain pasta, fruit, a small sandwich.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Houlton International Airport

On a Houlton turnaround the crew eats between tasks, so crew meals need to travel and hold. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals in crew meal boxes marked CREW, with crew catering sized to the rotation and cockpit meals that do not need a table. Different meals for pilots are available on request, cabin crew meals are ordered with the same call, and all of it is invoiced like the rest.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Houlton International Airport (KHUL)

FBO catering at Houlton is handed over where the aircraft stops: catering delivery to the FBO, then to the aircraft stairs, in coordination with your handling agent. The general aviation terminal is small, so ground handling catering is a conversation with one person, and handling agent catering is a matter of telling them which door.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Houlton International Airport (KHUL)

Most aircraft that use Houlton International are light and midsize jets, so galley catering is usually a matter of a cooler and a cart rolled to the stairs. For anything larger, aircraft provisioning is planned around the door height and the galley layout, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent so the high loader, when needed, is at the right door.

About the airportKHUL / HUL

Aviation catering and business aviation at Houlton International Airport (HUL)

KHUL is general aviation territory: a small field in Aroostook County where the terminal, the ramp and the customs window are within sight of each other. FBO services here are a short list handled by few people, and ground handling services follow the same scale. Airport catering for Houlton is packed for a small galley and handed to the handling agent at the door.

Business aviation

Houlton is not a business aviation hub in the way larger fields are, and that suits the traffic: local industry flying in and out, hunting and fishing charters in season, the occasional border crossing with New Brunswick. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for those cabins are small and precise, with aviation catering and business aviation catering sized to the galley, and executive jet catering ordered once for the whole trip. Diplomatic flight catering is rare and cleared through protocol first, and cabin crew meals and crew meals go on the same call as the guest trays.

Customs & food import

Customs at KHUL runs through the handling agent, and food entering the United States is checked for meat, dairy and produce. FBO services and ground handling services at this field do not store or inspect catering for you, so we pack sealed, labelled boxes an officer can read quickly. For flights continuing into Canada, the destination's own rules apply.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Getting mushroom risotto and a green salad ready for 12 guests at Houlton International Airport required an order that accounted for different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls prepared the crew provisions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. My main takeaway from this flight catering services order was the practical approach to storage requirements. The starters stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Falcon 900LX

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“On this departure from KHUL, 3 passengers had chosen grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and limited fridge space needed to be reflected in the order. The cabin service sequence stood out more than any sales pitch about airline catering. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the snack boxes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the sandwiches listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

Olivia L. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“My order at HUL covered avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 5 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a revised passenger count. This experience of crew meals gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the sandwiches before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The salads went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

Before you order at KHULAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight into Houlton in a tight weather window?+

How much does private jet catering cost out of Houlton? It follows what you pick. Fresh lobster, wild blueberries in season and Maine seafood cost more, while potato dishes and roasted vegetables cost less, so a short winter flight can sit well below a summer one.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when you order a return leg from Houlton?+

Lead time for the way back is usually driven by the product and the slot, not by distance. Maine blueberries, lobster and potatoes are easy to source locally; unusual requests take longer to arrange. Send the departure slot and last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs mean for private jet catering on a night departure from Houlton?+

Customs rules in the United States restrict some meat, produce and dairy coming in, and Canada has its own list going out. We choose ingredients that move easily across, and label every box so an officer can read the contents at a glance.

Can you bring food of your own through the handling agent at Houlton?+

Yes, in most cases: crews and passengers can bring their own food, and the handling agent controls airside access at Houlton. What matters is that it is packed, labelled and compatible with the destination's customs rules, particularly for fresh meat, dairy and fruit.

Is catering part of a charter into Houlton when the aircraft repositions with an empty cabin?+

When an aircraft flies empty into Houlton to pick up passengers, the cabin should be stocked before they step aboard. That stocking is a separate order from the charter, and it is invoiced like the rest.
