Catering to your aircraft in Buffalo.
Buffalo, Wyoming is ranch and elk country, and the flights into Johnson County match it: small cabins, mixed parties, cold mornings on the ramp. We pack for that.
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.
Wyoming eats from the ranch and the river, and a private jet menu built for Buffalo should say so. Johnson County runs cattle and hunts elk, and local specialities in Buffalo travel well because they are simple: a bison tenderloin sliced cold, an elk sausage board, rainbow trout from a Bighorn stream. The inflight menu at KBYG leans on what a hunting party or a ranch-stay guest expects to eat. Private jet food from this part of Wyoming is hearty, so we pack it for a small galley: sauces apart, the starch separate, the protein sealed. Private jet platters carry the cold courses, with huckleberry and Wyoming honey on the cheese board. Gourmet inflight meals for the hot course are packed for the oven and re-plated aboard. Private jet snacks run to jerky, roasted nuts and sourdough. Every local speciality is described the way it travels, so you know what goes in the oven and what stays chilled.

Johnson County Airport sits at 4,968 ft in Buffalo, Wyoming, where a King Air or a light jet comes in for ranch weekends and hunting parties. Private jet catering here follows that rhythm: elk, bison and trout packed for a small galley, handed over at the FBO. Inflight catering for these flights is built around the aircraft you actually have. Aviation catering at BYG also covers the crew, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering arrive at KBYG in the same way as anywhere else. For a visiting delegation, diplomatic flight catering is cleared before cooking. In-flight catering for the return leg is packed cold and labelled for re-plating.
Who lands at Buffalo? Ranch owners, outfitters' clients, energy executives. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering for them is a bespoke menu from a private jet chef: VIP flight catering that fits a small galley, luxury inflight catering that holds up, and charter flight catering written for the seats on that tail.
When a delegation arrives at KBYG, the menu is approved by protocol, not by the kitchen. We provide government flight catering and head of state flight catering with a fixed team, sealed trays and a clean handover; VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering get the same discipline.
Special meals at Buffalo start with the kitchen, not the label: in ranch country, butter, flour and cured meats sit in almost every dish, so allergen free and gluten free plates are cooked on a separate board and sealed. Kosher and halal meals are ordered in advance and arrive sealed, to be opened only by the passenger. Vegan and vegetarian options exist beyond a side salad, and kids meals are simple and cut small.
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.
At Buffalo the crew eats from a separate line on the order: crew meals are requested when you book the trip and billed with everything else. Flight crew meals and pilot meals for a turn at Buffalo are packed for one hand: crew catering that can be eaten at the jumpseat, cockpit meals that need no cutlery, crew meal boxes labelled CREW. Different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks for them, so the captain and first officer never share a dish.
FBO catering at KBYG is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, who opens the airside gate; ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one phone call, not three.
Light jets and turboprops are the usual callers at KBYG, so most galley catering is carried to the aircraft door by hand. A larger cabin on the ramp is the exception: if your type needs a high loader for airside catering delivery, tell us when you order and aircraft provisioning is arranged with your handling agent. The galley on your type, oven or none, decides how we pack.
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.

Johnson County Airport serves Buffalo, Wyoming, at 4,968 ft. Airport catering here is general aviation catering: FBO services, ground handling services and a small apron in ranch country.
Business aviation hub it is not, but inflight catering and in-flight catering matter all the same: aviation catering for elk season, executive jet catering for ranch guests, business aviation catering for energy visits, cabin crew meals for the pilots, and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation calls.
US agriculture rules apply to food arriving on international flights, not to catering loaded in Wyoming. For BYG, clear customs at the port of entry, then order here.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The 10 passenger portions of beef fillet with roasted potatoes were the easy part; managing several individual meal preferences at BYG took more planning. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The order made private jet catering menu feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand. It was useful to see the canapés listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
“An order of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 12 people at Johnson County Airport had to be organised around an evening cabin service. The order made private aviation catering feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls suggested sealed meal containers for the crew provisions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Small packing details became important at KBYG: our 3 passengers wanted a cold lunch with cheese and fruit, and we had a late menu amendment. Our brief for business jet catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the canapés could be arranged during service. Keeping the salads aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
Nothing is bundled here. A ranch-country menu is priced dish by dish, with the handover at the FBO or the aircraft arranged through your handling agent. A trout and cheddar lunch for four lands well below a three-course bison dinner.
Short repositioning flights are common into small fields like KBYG. We keep the order light: crew meals, drinks, a cold platter if the return is full. Lead time is set by the product, and last-minute orders are handled; we answer 24/7 by phone and email.
A flight arriving at Johnson County from another country may need leftover food declared or discarded under US rules. For the onward long leg we load fresh catering locally, two services boxed apart. Tell us the route and we plan around the customs step.
Own food on board is a decision for the captain and operator, not for us. What we handle is the number moving: a hunting party of four becomes six, and we send extra trays labelled by seat. Last-minute orders are handled.
Charter and catering are two bills. For a delegation arriving at BYG, we handle discretion and traceability, name the team that cooks, and invoice the meals separately from the private jet charter.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
