Catering to your aircraft in Juneau.
Juneau International sits between mountains and water, and crews here plan around weather first and food second. We pack Alaska salmon, halibut and crab for the galley you have, and hand it over to your FBO for 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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Alaska gives a private jet menu for Juneau a short list of things that are genuinely better here than anywhere else: wild-caught salmon, halibut, Dungeness and king crab, spot prawns, smoked fish, and berries picked in the short summer. A private jet menu built on that list reads as local without being fussy, and an inflight menu for a Juneau departure can lean on the catch rather than imported substitutes.
Private jet food out of Juneau works best when it travels well: salmon is the obvious star, served cold, poached or hot from the oven, while crab is picked and packed in its own container so the sweetness is not lost. Alaska local specialities such as smoked salmon, reindeer sausage and birch syrup give an Alaska brunch box something no mainland kitchen can match.
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.
Juneau International sits in a narrow glacier valley where weather decides the day, and a private jet catering order here is built around that uncertainty: wild Alaska seafood, hearty cabin crew meals, and a galley plan that survives a hold on the apron. We pack inflight catering and in-flight catering for business aviation catering and executive jet catering tails, plus diplomatic flight catering when the manifest asks for it. All of it is aviation catering written by former VIP flight attendants.
Passengers at JNU are often travelling to or from fishing lodges and glacier excursions, and that shapes the brief. We write business jet catering and corporate jet catering around fresh Alaska fish, and VIP flight catering for charter flight catering clients stays discreet. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering uses the catch of the week.
Juneau is Alaska's capital, which brings official aircraft through PAJN. Government flight catering starts with the protocol office, not the kitchen, and head of state flight catering follows the manifest. State visit aircraft catering and VIP aviation catering are packed discreetly, with allergen and ingredient records on file.
Dietary requests at Juneau are handled as a procedure, not a promise: fish and shellfish are everywhere on Alaska menus, so shellfish allergens are the first thing we separate in the kitchen. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are written on the order, packed on their own board and labelled by seat number.
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 JNU, crews often sit through holds and weather delays, so crew meals matter more than they look. We cook flight crew meals and pilot meals as a separate order, crew catering is built to last the wait, and cockpit meals stay simple. Crew meal boxes carry the CREW label, different meals for pilots are packed on request, and cabin crew meals are made for those serving.
At PAJN the order goes to the aircraft through the FBO, and your handling agent decides which gate is used. We coordinate FBO catering and ground handling catering with the general aviation terminal, so catering delivery to the FBO arrives without surprises. Handling agent catering details are confirmed in advance.
Juneau sees everything from light jets to larger business aircraft, and the aircraft type decides how the load happens. Galley catering is planned around the door height and the galley the tail actually has, and airside catering delivery goes to the aircraft with a high loader when the cabin sits out of reach. Aircraft provisioning for a larger tail is agreed with the handling agent before the slot.

PAJN is the gateway to Alaska's capital and to glacier country, and weather shapes everything. Airport catering for business aircraft works around that: orders are confirmed with the slot, and general aviation tails are served at the terminal. FBO services and ground handling services are the usual contacts for crews.
Juneau's business aviation season follows the fishing and tourism months, and inflight catering orders rise with them. In-flight catering for executive jet catering and business aviation catering clients is built around local seafood. Aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering missions and cabin crew meals follow the same kitchen, and the airport works as a business aviation hub for trips north.
Juneau is a US port of entry, so international arrivals clear customs under CBP, with agricultural inspection for food. Handling agents arrange the clearance, and we recommend planning the inbound menu with them. Catering ordered locally is domestic product and avoids most import questions.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around two separate meal services at JNU, I asked for vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection in portions appropriate for our 10 passengers. For our team, the strongest part of their flight catering was how they handled written menu details. I wanted clear identification on the sandwiches; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the salads identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 4 guests at Juneau International Airport to enjoy roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings without a complicated cabin service. I would discuss flight catering services with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination. I asked The Galley Girls for the breakfast portions in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the canapés aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“Nothing about the 8 guest order at PAJN called for excess complexity: just fresh fruit and breakfast pastries and sensible planning for several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of crew provisions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. The quantities of salads matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. Our brief for airline catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation.”
Cost starts with the slot. Short turnarounds at Juneau lean on pre-plated cold menus that need almost no galley work, longer stops open up poached or baked fish, and each is priced per menu. Ask how much private jet catering costs for your trip and we will price the dishes you actually pick.
Order when the trip is confirmed, and add changes as they come. Juneau menus rest on salmon, halibut and smoked fish, which are available through the season, and last-minute requests are treated like any other. If a seasonal item is out, we replace it with the nearest local equivalent.
For an arrival from outside the US, plan ahead: CBP and agriculture rules cover fresh food, and anything that fails inspection is removed. Our usual advice for Juneau is to order the next leg locally, with Alaska seafood and cooked dishes, so the galley is filled with product that has no import question attached.
Yes, it is allowed, but a large galley and a small one need different food. At JNU we see light jets with a coffee maker and large-cabin aircraft with convection ovens, and the menu changes accordingly: poached salmon and salads for the first, baked halibut for the second.
No. Catering is not part of a private jet charter: it is its own order and appears as its own invoice. Juneau weather can hold an aircraft well beyond its slot, so we pack in a way that does not depend on exact timing, and a revised departure only changes the handover at the FBO.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
