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 Mokuleia

Mokuleia gives a private jet menu its raw material: fish from the North Shore, pineapple and papaya, Kona-style coffee, Hawaiian sea salt. Private jet food built on those local specialities reads as Hawaii the moment the drawer opens. We label each tray by seat, keep sauces apart, and plan the oven items for the galley you actually have. The inflight menu changes with the season and the catch.

Hawaii's table is a mix of Polynesian, Japanese and Portuguese influences, and a private jet menu can use all of it: teriyaki beef, spam musubi for the crew, fresh pineapple, coconut cake. Local specialities work in a cabin when they are chosen for travel, not just for the plate. At PHDH we pack each dish for the finish it needs, so the inflight menu is easy to serve at altitude and easy to clear.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Kawaihapai Airfield (PHDH)

A runway at Mokuleia, a few feet above the Pacific, and a handling agent who knows each arriving tail: that is the setting for private jet catering at PHDH. In-flight catering for Hawaii means tropical fruit, ahi and macadamia, packed to survive the humid air on the ramp. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are agreed in advance, and diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol first. Cabin crew meals ride on the same order, ready for the return sector.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Kawaihapai Airfield (PHDH)

Business jet catering at Kawaihapai is usually a small, precise brief: a handful of passengers on a corporate jet, one sector out of a North Shore strip that sees few tails. Corporate jet catering here is planned around the return leg, with a VIP flight catering request, a charter flight catering order or a bespoke menu agreed before the aircraft lands. Our private jet chef cooks for a galley with one oven, and luxury inflight catering at PHDH means local fish, fruit and clean plating.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Kawaihapai Airfield (HDH)

Government flight catering at PHDH is rare but planned like any other: a menu cleared by protocol before anything is cooked, a named team, discretion at handover. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering use the same process, and VIP aviation catering for a delegation is traced from kitchen to aircraft.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Kawaihapai Airfield

Dietary requests are handled as a procedure, not as a label. Hawaiian cooking hides allergens in places a visitor does not expect: shoyu and sesame in poke, shellfish in some sauces, macadamia in desserts, wheat in teriyaki. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals, we cook on separate boards, seal the portion, and mark it by seat. Kids meals follow the same rule.

Crew meals & pilot meals at Kawaihapai Airfield

For crews, we offer crew meals by request, billed as part of the order. Flight crew meals travel in crew meal boxes, each marked CREW; pilot meals and cockpit meals are separate from the passenger trays, with different meals for pilots when needed. Crew catering at PHDH keeps the cabin crew fed during the wait.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Kawaihapai Airfield

FBO catering at PHDH ends where the aircraft begins: we do catering delivery to the FBO or the handling agent, and the general aviation terminal is the point of handover. Ground handling catering is coordinated in advance, so your handling agent catering contact knows who is coming and when.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Kawaihapai Airfield (PHDH)

A business jet at Kawaihapai does not need a high loader, and the galley catering for it is carried by hand or on a cart across the apron. A larger aircraft calls for a different plan: tell us the type and we will say what the airside catering delivery needs and who holds the ramp access. Aircraft provisioning is agreed with the handling agent in advance, so the trolleys are met at the right door.

About the airportPHDH / HDH

About Kawaihapai Airfield: business aviation and airport catering

Kawaihapai Airfield, also known as Dillingham Airfield, is a North Shore strip at Mokuleia, mostly used for gliding and skydiving. Airport catering here is occasional, and general aviation visitors tell us what they need ahead of the flight.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at PHDH serves the occasional jet that wants the North Shore. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights are planned around a small terminal, aviation catering is brief, and executive jet catering follows the owner's menu. Diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol first, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order. FBO services and ground handling services are limited, so we confirm each step; this is not a business aviation hub, but it is a beautiful place to land.

Customs & food import

Hawaii applies agricultural controls to fresh produce, meat and plants entering the state, and a crew arriving from abroad should declare any food on board. Local catering avoids the issue, since the meals are made on the island.

★★★★★CHARTER

“One detail shaped our order at HDH: an evening cabin service, alongside a request for mushroom risotto and a green salad for 12 passengers. The order made in-flight catering services feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand. I needed the salads checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The sauces remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Timing and organisation mattered at Kawaihapai Airfield, where our order of a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 8 people involved different crew meal preferences. For aviation catering, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sauces to be packed accordingly. We left the snack boxes stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Hamza K. | Royal family manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Despite an evening cabin service, we wanted the 10 guests at PHDH to enjoy a cold lunch with cheese and fruit without a complicated cabin service. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the fruit plates, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of sauces matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. For aviation catering services, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Mokuleia in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation flight into Mokuleia?+

Think of it as a menu, not a tariff: a delegation moving through Oahu's North Shore may want cold platters, a hot service and snacks for the ramp. How much does private jet catering cost? It adds up from those pieces, and we show each piece.

What lead time do you need for a kosher or allergen-free special meal at PHDH?+

Allergen-free means a separate board and sealed packing, which is organised once we know the allergy. A kosher plate for a Mokuleia departure may take longer to source, and we say so when you ask.

What do customs mean for crew waiting on the ground at Kawaihapai?+

Crew duty time can stretch, and the question of customs comes up with it. Meals bought and packed in Hawaii enter the aircraft without paperwork; imported food follows state rules. We keep the order simple.

Can you bring food from home into Kawaihapai on a short turnaround?+

Sealed, commercially packed items usually pass; fresh fruit and meat often do not. With a short slot at Kawaihapai, we suggest letting us supply the food and keep your own for the return.

Is catering part of a charter into Mokuleia, and can it feature local lilikoi?+

Is catering part of a charter? Not here, nor anywhere. It is ordered on its own. Lilikoi, the Hawaiian passion fruit, goes into curds, glazes and cocktails, and we can build a dessert around it for your flight.
