Catering to your aircraft in Lima.
KAOH is a quiet Ohio airfield at 975 ft, where the crew often knows the galley by heart. Send the tail and the list, and we pack, label and deliver to the FBO or your handling agent.
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.
Ohio is farm country, and the Lima Allen County table follows it: sweet corn in summer, Ohio beef, Amish-style cheeses from the northeast of the state, smoked turkey, apple cider donuts in autumn. A private jet menu for Lima starts with what travels well in a galley. Local specialities here are honest and hearty, so we plate them for altitude: smaller portions, sauce apart, crisp items packed dry.
The inflight menu for Lima draws on Ohio: buckeye candies, sandwiches on Amish bread, chilled corn chowder, grilled chicken with regional barbecue sauce. Private jet food from the Ohio kitchen is simple and generous, and private jet platters can be built around cheeses, cured meats and fruit. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks follow the same rule: nothing that collapses once the cabin is pressurised.
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.
Before the order, the field itself: KAOH, Lima, northwest Ohio, flat farmland, a short taxi from apron to terminal. Private jet catering at Lima Allen County usually means a corporate crew who know exactly what the galley holds. Aviation catering and business aviation catering here lean on Ohio produce and plain, reliable plates. We pack for the galley you have, label by seat and by crew, and deliver to the FBO or your handling agent. Executive jet catering, inflight catering and cabin crew meals are priced and invoiced like any other order.
Who flies into Lima? Mostly executives from regional industry, charter groups and the occasional sporting party. Business jet catering for them is a private jet chef's work: a bespoke menu for the cabin, plated or boxed, from corporate jet catering to VIP flight catering. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering use local Ohio ingredients and a galley-friendly build.
When an official delegation lands at Lima, the food becomes a matter of protocol. Government flight catering starts with the principal's office, and head of state flight catering adds traceable sourcing. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are staffed by people who stay quiet and keep the menu private.
Special meals at Lima Allen County start with the kitchen, not the label. In farm-country Ohio, hidden allergens sit in breadings, dairy glazes and shared fryers, so allergen free orders are cooked on separate boards and boxed apart. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are packed sealed and marked by seat, so the galley never mixes a restricted tray with a standard one.
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 KAOH a crew often waits on the ramp for passengers, so crew meals are built for a break, not a sit-down. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed with the seat or role on the lid; crew catering is a request, invoiced normally. Cockpit meals avoid sauces and loose items, crew meal boxes stack in a drawer, and different meals for pilots can be arranged on request. Cabin crew meals can sit alongside them.
The handover happens at the FBO: someone from the team meets your handling agent, and the boxes go to the aircraft. FBO catering for Lima is simple because the terminal is small; catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering all use the same ramp access. The general aviation terminal is the point of contact.
A light or midsize jet at Lima Allen County is usually loaded by hand at the door, so galley catering is packed in compact boxes that fit the aircraft's storage. When a larger cabin arrives, the type decides whether airside catering delivery needs a high loader, and your handling agent tells us before aircraft provisioning begins. We ask for the tail, the galley layout and the door height so everything fits.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Lima Allen County Airport, KAOH, is a general aviation airport serving Lima and the surrounding counties of northwest Ohio. Airport catering here supports corporate flight departments, charter operators and visiting crews, with FBO services and ground handling services on the field. It is a practical, uncrowded stop for business aviation.
At Lima, business aviation hub activity is modest but steady, with a small FBO and ground handling services for visiting aircraft. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights follow the same standard as elsewhere, from aviation catering to business aviation catering. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals can all be arranged, and a short ground time suits simple plates.
Customs at KAOH concern only aircraft arriving from abroad, since the field handles domestic general aviation. US import rules limit meat, dairy and fresh produce entering from other countries, and any leftover international food is disposed of through the handling agent. For domestic legs, nothing special applies to the order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at AOH, where 6 guests expected vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection despite a small galley worktop. I want an aviation catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls grouped the breakfast portions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the snack boxes without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“The cabin briefing at Lima Allen County Airport included 7 passenger meals, a request for poached fish with steamed rice, and instructions addressing a small galley worktop. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at cabin service sequence after this experience. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sauces, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. Knowing where the desserts were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
“Clear quantities were essential at KAOH: we had 12 passengers expecting a charcuterie board and fresh bread and were working around an evening cabin service. We changed the quantities of snack boxes, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The note about the side dishes was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. This experience of flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure.”
Cost at KAOH follows the access arrangement as much as the plates. When the handling agent escorts the delivery to the aircraft, there is nothing extra to arrange; when access is restricted, the order is packed for the FBO instead. Ohio products in season, such as cider donuts in autumn, cost differently from imported items.
Short flight, no guests: the lead time depends on how much crew food you want, not on a kitchen queue. At Lima, an order placed on the day of departure is handled. If the return leg carries passengers, send that brief too so one order covers both.
Two services on one long leg means two sets of plates, and customs only matters when food is arriving from another country. At KAOH, domestic food is delivered and loaded normally. Tell us if any item comes from abroad, so we avoid leftovers that cannot be carried onward.
Guests may bring their own food, though the crew often prefers sealed, labelled items. At Lima Allen County a late change in the passenger count is handled by switching to shareable platters and keeping individually plated meals to the confirmed seats.
Charter quotes cover aircraft time; meals are a separate order and a separate invoice. Delegation and government flights add discretion and traceability, so we assign named staff and keep the menu confidential.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
