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 Chicago/Romeoville (LOT)

Illinois is corn, soy and orchards, and a private jet menu for Lewis University reflects that. Our private jet food here starts with what is in season: sweet corn in summer, apples and pumpkin in autumn, root vegetables through the cold months. Local specialities travel well when they are planned for the galley, so the inflight menu keeps sauces apart and finishes dishes in the oven or serves them chilled.

Chicago/Romeoville has a food identity that fits a cabin: the Italian beef sandwich, Chicago-style hot dog components packed separately, Midwest cheeses and smoked fish. Each private jet menu line is sorted by how it finishes on board, in the oven, sauce apart, chilled or re-plated cold. Illinois local specialities become private jet food that holds its shape from kitchen to seat.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Lewis University Airport (KLOT)

Lewis University Airport sits on the flat prairie west of the Des Plaines River, a general aviation field where light and midsize jets share the ramp with flight-school traffic. Private jet catering here is built around small galleys and short turnarounds: trays packed to the aircraft type, handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent. We also supply inflight catering for repositioning legs, executive jet catering for midsize cabins and diplomatic flight catering when protocol calls for it, with cabin crew meals ordered on the same trip.

Business jet cabin ready for executive jet catering at Lewis University Airport, Romeoville

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Lewis University Airport (LOT)

A corporate jet out of Romeoville tends to carry a short list of guests and a long list of preferences. Corporate jet catering at Lewis University starts from the cabin: our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley you actually have. That covers business jet catering for a weekly shuttle, VIP flight catering for a client, and charter flight catering where the guest changes every trip, all with the same plain, well-finished food. Luxury inflight catering at LOT is a tidy tray, not a flourish. For the repositioning leg, inflight catering and in-flight catering trays are packed lighter.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Lewis University Airport

Special meals at Lewis University start in the kitchen, not on the label. Chicago-area cooking hides allergens in places a crew does not expect: breadcrumbs in meatballs, wheat in the beef jus, nuts in the dessert crust. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free trays are cooked on separate boards, sealed and marked with a seat number. Kids meals are sized for a small cabin and packed away from the adult trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Lewis University Airport

At KLOT the handover happens at the FBO door or on the ramp beside the aircraft. FBO catering here follows the same routine as anywhere: your handling agent tells us who meets the truck, and we plan the catering delivery to the general aviation terminal around your slot. Ground handling catering rules on a compact general aviation ramp are simple, with limited room to stage trays, so the order is packed in the sequence the crew will load it. Handling agent catering is agreed with the order, not at the gate.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Lewis University Airport (LOT)

Light and midsize jets are the rule at KLOT, so most galley catering goes aboard by hand through the cabin door, with no high loader needed. When a larger aircraft calls at Lewis University, airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent for aircraft provisioning, and the trays are packed to that galley, with oven and chiller capacity written on the order.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Working around a changing departure schedule at LOT, I asked for a cold lunch with cheese and fruit in portions appropriate for our 10 passengers. My main takeaway from this aviation catering services order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. I wanted clear identification on the canapés; 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.”

Thomas K. | FBO operator

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Keeping the galley organised at Lewis University Airport meant planning beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 12 guests with an evening cabin service in mind. I want an aviation catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the snack boxes into stackable containers that were easy to handle. The starters were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

“What impressed me at KLOT was how a request for a breakfast basket with individual preserves was handled despite a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls updated the sauces in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The desserts remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”

Lewis University: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a kosher or halal request at Lewis University?+

Think of cost by tray type. A sealed special meal is priced above a standard salad because it is cooked and packed apart. For Lewis University, we quote from your headcount and the codes you need, commanded and invoiced like the rest of the order.

What lead time does catering need for a crew waiting on the ground at KLOT?+

When a crew is parked at Romeoville overnight, order with the trip and we build crew meals around the stay. Short-notice requests at KLOT are handled day or night.

What about customs when the turnaround is tight at Lewis University?+

Customs for catering depends on the inbound flight. For domestic legs into KLOT there is little to clear; for international arrivals, food import rules apply. The length of the turnaround decides how we pack.

Can you bring food from home onto a private jet at Lewis University?+

Yes. Many crews arrive with their own food. For KLOT we suggest adding one local item, like sweet corn salad in summer or pumpkin tart in autumn, so the meal reflects the place.

Is catering part of a charter into Lewis University?+

No. Catering is not part of the private jet charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own. Domestic or international, US customs and food-import rules apply when the flight arrives from abroad, and we pack to match.
