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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Allentown/Bethlehem (ABE)

Pennsylvania has a food culture that travels well in a galley, and Allentown/Bethlehem sits in the middle of it. The private jet menu for Lehigh Valley draws on the Pennsylvania Dutch table: soft pretzels, chow-chow, shoofly pie, and sausage from local butchers, all packed as private jet food that survives a drawer. Local specialities include pierogi from the Slavic churches of Bethlehem and Allentown, potato-and-cheese or sauerkraut, boiled and finished in the oven or re-plated from a pan. The inflight menu keeps the sauces apart and the garnish cold. Private jet platters of regional cheeses and cured meats leave the kitchen on slate-free boards, ready for the tray. Gourmet inflight meals for a corporate group heading to New York or Boston can be built entirely from Pennsylvania produce. Private jet snacks such as pretzel bites with mustard and Lehigh Valley apple slices fit a short sector.

If you are flying out of Pennsylvania, the best private jet menu for Allentown/Bethlehem starts at the farm stand. The Lehigh Valley grows apples, sweet corn and peaches by season, and the inflight menu follows what is actually ripe. Local specialities travel as private jet food in sealed boxes: pierogi, Pennsylvania Dutch smoked sausage, pretzels, and chicken pot pie in its pastry. For hot dishes the oven in your galley does the finish, while cold plates stay chilled until you re-plate. Private jet platters for the cabin come as cheese, charcuterie and crudités with dips in separate pots. Gourmet inflight meals can be plated for four or twelve, and private jet snacks are packed by seat number for the leg home.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE)

Business jet catering at Lehigh Valley follows a corporate pattern: a small group, a morning departure, and a galley that is often a drawer and a compact oven. Corporate jet catering here leans on Pennsylvania produce and sealed trays. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for the cabin, VIP flight catering for executive passengers, and charter flight catering for visiting groups. Luxury inflight catering at KABE is finished in the galley, not on the apron.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Lehigh Valley International Airport

Government flight catering at Lehigh Valley goes through protocol, not the kitchen. A head of state flight catering order names the team, the menu and the handover point at the FBO. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared first, then cooked, then traced from kitchen to aircraft door, with discretion at every step.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Lehigh Valley International Airport (KABE)

At Lehigh Valley the dietary brief starts with the kitchen, not the label. Pierogi dough, pretzels and pot-pie pastry all carry gluten, and sausages and sauces often hide dairy, so special meals are cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate box. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are marked by seat number, and kids meals follow the same system. Tell us the restriction and the tail and we plan around the local specialities.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Lehigh Valley International Airport

Crew meals at Lehigh Valley are ordered with the flight and invoiced like the rest, on request. Flight crew meals for a day trip into Allentown/Bethlehem are packed in crew meal boxes labelled CREW, so the cabin trays stay untouched. Pilot meals suit one hand on the yoke, and cockpit meals are separate from the cabin. Crew catering for a two-day trip can add a second box. Different meals for pilots are packed on request, so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals can be sized for the flight attendant on the jumpseat.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Lehigh Valley International Airport (KABE)

At Allentown/Bethlehem the trays reach the aircraft through the FBO. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are coordinated with your handling agent, who opens the airside door. Ground handling catering for midsize and large jets is the same procedure at the general aviation terminal, and handling agent catering depends on the slot you give us.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Lehigh Valley International Airport

ABE sees mostly light and midsize business jets, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand or on a cart through the cabin door. Larger cabins and head-of-state types may need a high loader, which we arrange with your handling agent for airside catering delivery. Aircraft provisioning starts with the type, the door and the galley layout, because that decides the size of every container.

About the airportKABE / ABE

General aviation and airport catering at Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE)

Lehigh Valley International serves eastern Pennsylvania from 393 feet above sea level, with airline and general aviation traffic sharing the field. Airport catering for business jets is handled through the general aviation side, away from the main terminal. ABE is a quiet field for private and corporate flights.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at ABE serve a steady flow of corporate and charter flights, especially in autumn and winter. Aviation catering for business aviation follows the schedule of the northeast; business aviation catering here covers midsize and light jets. Executive jet catering is ordered by operators who plan around snow, and diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled through protocol. Cabin crew meals can be added to the same order as the passenger trays. FBO services and ground handling services at the general aviation terminal make ABE a practical business aviation hub for the Lehigh Valley.

Customs & food import

US food-import rules decide what can remain on an aircraft arriving from another country. At Lehigh Valley, domestic catering is simple; international arrivals need a customs-aware menu. We confirm the plan with the handling agent before cooking.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“The cabin briefing at Lehigh Valley International Airport included 6 passenger meals, a request for avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and instructions addressing a late menu amendment. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the breakfast portions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the private jet catering menu arrangements. It was useful to see the sandwiches listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

Nikita R. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Our priority at KABE was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 7 passengers, with a small galley worktop shaping the service plan. The order made private aviation catering feel manageable because the crew briefing had been considered beforehand. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the crew provisions quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Patrick D. | Government flight manager

Falcon 7X

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“Having 9 guests request a mezze selection with flatbreads at ABE meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a changing departure schedule. The order made business jet catering feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand. The crew provisions supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the desserts identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Ordering for KABE, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Allentown/Bethlehem if I want Pennsylvania food on the menu?+

Ask the question with a menu in mind: if the Lehigh Valley apple plate and pierogi go on, what does it come to? We price each dish separately, add packaging and service, and show it on the invoice for your trip out of Allentown/Bethlehem.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Lehigh Valley, with US food-import rules in play?+

US food-import rules are the main variable. Domestic flights out of Allentown/Bethlehem have no import issue and last-minute orders are handled. International inbound legs need a plan for fruit, meat and dairy, which we build around the customs brief.

Does the customs process affect catering for a light jet versus a larger aircraft at ABE?+

Galley size decides how we pack. A small jet at KABE may carry a single tray and a drawer, so pierogi arrive pre-cooked and sauce apart. A bigger cabin takes oven-ready pot pies. Customs checks apply the same either way.

Can you bring food on board at Lehigh Valley if winter weather shifts departures?+

Yes, but weather in eastern Pennsylvania can push departures back, and homemade food does not always handle a delay. Our packs are built for a wait: cold items stay chilled, hot items finish later in the oven. If you bring your own, keep it sealed and label it clearly.

Is catering part of a charter when the return leg is ordered from Allentown/Bethlehem?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter, on the outbound leg or the way back: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own. If you fly out and return through Lehigh Valley, give us both legs in one conversation and we plan them together.
