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

The San Antonio table, packed for private jet catering

San Antonio eats Tex-Mex and Texas barbecue, and both travel better than people expect. A private jet menu for Lackland Air Force Base can lean on smoked brisket sliced across the grain, puffy tacos built on the plate, and queso that is kept apart from the chips until service. Local specialities such as pecan pralines and Hill Country peaches finish an inflight menu without needing a galley oven.

We cook this private jet food for the cabin, not for a restaurant table: brisket travels in its juices and is re-plated, salsas stay in small pots, and tortillas come wrapped for the oven. Private jet platters of Gulf shrimp, jicama and citrus suit the warm Texas months, while gourmet inflight meals such as chicken-fried steak are kept for crews who want something hot. Ask for the Texas set if San Antonio is your destination.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Lackland Air Force Base (KSKF)

Lackland Air Force Base sits on the south-west edge of San Antonio, a military field where civil business traffic is rare and plans change with the flying schedule. For that kind of stop, private jet catering has to be agreed with the handling agent before the tail arrives, and packed for the galley you actually have. We write the menu around Texas produce and hand it over at the aircraft.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Lackland Air Force Base (SKF)

At Lackland Air Force Base, a corporate jet catering order usually starts with a small group flying into San Antonio for a morning meeting. Business jet catering for that cabin is planned by a private jet chef, who writes a bespoke menu around Texas produce and packs it for a light galley. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same steps, and so does luxury inflight catering: agree the menu, then cook and label by seat. Whether you call it inflight catering or in-flight catering, the tray has to suit the galley you actually have.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Lackland Air Force Base

Texas cooking leans on lard, flour tortillas, cheese and wheat roux, so allergens hide in places a San Antonio menu does not advertise. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests at KSKF, we plan the dish with its own board and its own box, and we write the restriction on the lid. Special meals and kids meals are agreed with your crew list before anything is cooked.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Lackland Air Force Base (SKF): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Lackland Air Force Base means catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal, arranged with your handling agent. Ground handling catering is coordinated so the food reaches the aircraft at the stand your slot gives you. Handling agent catering is the line we use when access to the apron is restricted.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Lackland Air Force Base

At a military field like Lackland Air Force Base, galley catering depends on the type: a light jet takes a few boxes by hand, a larger cabin may need a high loader at the door. Airside catering delivery is cleared with your handling agent, who tells us what can reach the apron. We match aircraft provisioning to the galley you have, ovens included or not.

About the airportKSKF / SKF

About Lackland Air Force Base (KSKF): aviation catering and general aviation

Lackland Air Force Base serves a large military training mission in San Antonio, and civil airport catering here is a niche request. General aviation traffic uses the field only by arrangement, so FBO services and ground handling services are agreed in advance.

Business aviation

San Antonio's business aviation hub is elsewhere in the city, and Lackland is used for particular missions. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for a private jet here follow the same standards, with business aviation catering and executive jet catering prepared for the galley. For diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals, we confirm the stop before cooking.

Customs & food import

US customs and agriculture rules apply to foreign-origin food on board. For KSKF, we source meat, dairy and produce in Texas wherever possible, so the aircraft is not carrying anything that needs clearing, and we keep a clear list of what is on each tray.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Getting smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit ready for 3 guests at Lackland Air Force Base required an order that accounted for a short ground stop. I want an inflight catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I needed the sandwiches checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. There was no need to reconstruct the desserts quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“A request for a mezze selection with flatbreads, 3 passengers, and an evening cabin service: that was our brief for the departure at KSKF. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the canapés, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the salads before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

Anders O. | Government flight manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 11 passenger portions of yoghurt pots and fresh berries were the easy part; managing several individual meal preferences at SKF took more planning. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the crew provisions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The sandwiches were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. For in-flight catering services, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Before you order at KSKFAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a Texas barbecue menu at Lackland?+

Cost follows what you pick. A smoked brisket service sliced by seat sits higher than a cold Gulf shrimp platter, and Hill Country peaches in summer cost less than out-of-season berries. The quote comes first, on paper, then you confirm.

What is the lead time for a catering order at Lackland Air Force Base?+

If your aircraft arrives from abroad, customs and agriculture rules on food shape the plan more than anything else. We keep the menu to items that stay compliant, and last-minute orders are handled.

Do customs rules change what you can put in a galley at KSKF?+

Before customs, think galley: oven or not, how many drawers, whether it chills. We build the menu to that, and mention agriculture rules when a leg is international.

Can you bring food of your own on a flight into San Antonio?+

Personal food is your choice, though the season matters. Thunderstorm delays are common at certain times of year here, and food packed in advance sits in the heat. Our meals are packed to be re-plated from the drawer.

Is catering part of a charter into San Antonio, and what about the return leg?+

No, you order and pay for catering on its own. Planning the way back from San Antonio? Tell us at the same time and we prepare both legs.
