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 Islip (ISP)

Long Island has a food map of its own, and a private jet menu out of Islip reads it closely. The North Fork and the Peconic Bay give oysters and bay scallops in season; the East End farms give sweet corn, tomatoes and potatoes through the summer; Long Island duck from Riverhead is the local protein that actually travels well.

For an inflight menu at ISP we plate Long Island duck breast to be sliced cold or finished in the galley oven, pack oysters on ice in a sealed tray, and keep summer tomato salads dressed apart until service. The same private jet food in February shifts to roast root vegetables and clam chowder in a sealed flask. Local specialities of New York's south shore are never decoration; each one is built to leave the kitchen and still look right on the table at altitude.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Long Island MacArthur Airport (KISP)

Runway 6/24 at Long Island MacArthur is long enough for a Gulfstream full of Friday-afternoon passengers headed east, and the galley orders that go with them follow the same pattern. Private jet catering at ISP is written by former VIP flight attendants: inflight catering that survives a drawer and an oven, in-flight catering packed seat by seat, and cabin crew meals labelled apart from the guest trays. Aviation catering here means knowing what the Hamptons crowd eats in July and what a winter charter wants instead.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP)

At Long Island MacArthur, business jet catering is shaped by the weekend Hamptons run: corporate jet catering for teams flying out on Friday and VIP flight catering for owners who want the family fed before wheels-up. Charter flight catering is common, and luxury inflight catering here means a bespoke menu written by a private jet chef around the passengers' tastes, not around a fixed list. We pack every tray for the galley on the aircraft, and hand it over at the FBO.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Islip (KISP)

Government flight catering through KISP is less common than in the big hubs but real, and discretion is the reason it works. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow protocol: menus cleared before cooking, dishes traced to source, a named team in the kitchen. State visit aircraft catering here is a small, quiet operation, with trays sealed and labelled for the aircraft.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Long Island MacArthur Airport

Long Island has a large kosher and halal customer base, so special meals at Islip are not a favour but a routine. Kosher trays travel sealed with certification intact, halal is the baseline for some crews and an exception for others, vegan and gluten free plates are cooked on their own board, and allergen free orders are separated from the guest trays before anything goes in the box. Kids meals are packed to be eaten with one hand, in the seat. Each card names the passenger or seat number and the restriction, never both on the same line as the dish.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Islip (KISP)

Crew meals at KISP are ordered with the trip and invoiced like the rest of the catering. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed in separate crew meal boxes so the cabin trays stay untouched; on request, the captain and first officer get different meals for pilots, which matters on a long Hamptons shuttle day. Crew catering here assumes a turnaround that can stretch while the passengers are on the East End, so we pack for a meal eaten later, not hot from the oven. Cabin crew meals are labelled CREW and sit in their own drawer.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP)

FBO catering at Islip is delivered to the FBO on the field and handed over at the aircraft, in coordination with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO assumes the general aviation terminal rules: who opens which gate, what the ramp allows, where the vehicle can stand. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are agreed before the slot, so nobody discovers an access problem at the fence.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP)

Long Island MacArthur sees everything from light jets to large cabin aircraft, and galley catering follows the airframe. A Challenger or Gulfstream takes standard trolleys through the main door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery. We confirm the type before packing, because aircraft provisioning on the apron depends on door height, galley position and how many carts the handling agent can bring out. Tell us the tail and we pack for that aircraft.

About the airportKISP / ISP

Aviation catering and business aviation at Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP)

Long Island MacArthur is Suffolk County's main airport, with a 10,000 ft runway, an elevation of 99 ft and a general aviation terminal beside the scheduled gates. FBO services on the field cover the corporate shuttles, the seasonal leisure traffic and the occasional diplomatic arrival, and ground handling services coordinate the ramp for each of them. Airport catering at Islip is handed over at the aircraft, wherever it is parked.

Business aviation

Islip is a business aviation hub for the island, with general aviation traffic that thins in winter and swells with the Hamptons season. Private jet catering, inflight catering and aviation catering all adapt: lighter menus in July, braises in January. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering share a kitchen with diplomatic flight catering, and cabin crew meals are packed apart from the guest trays.

Customs & food import

Food entering the United States on an international arrival goes through customs, and fresh produce, meat and dairy draw the most questions. At Islip, FBO services and ground handling services keep the clearance routine, and we keep every meal sealed, labelled and easy to declare. If something is better left off a flight into the country, we say so plainly.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Between cabin checks at KISP, I coordinated prawn salad and small fruit plates for 3 guests and explained our concerns about a changing departure schedule. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of desserts matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. I want an aviation catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“Our priority at ISP was fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 9 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls labelled the main courses in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience. We could distinguish the desserts at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Food presentation mattered to our 10 guests, but a changing departure schedule also had to be considered when organising yoghurt pots and fresh berries at Long Island MacArthur Airport. For our team, the strongest part of their flight catering was how they handled portion planning. The Galley Girls grouped the starters by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The salads were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”

Ordering for KISP, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Islip for a delegation or government flight?+

Private jet catering cost here is set by what you choose and how many you feed. Government and delegation flights usually carry extra handling for protocol and traceability, which shows on the quote, not as a surprise on the invoice.

What is the lead time for a special meal order at Long Island MacArthur?+

Lead time on special meals at ISP is set by the diet: certified trays take coordination, simple vegan plates do not. We agree it with you before the slot, and we say so if a request cannot be met.

What do customs mean for crew duty time and waiting on the ground at Islip?+

On an international arrival into Islip, customs clearance can stretch a duty day. Our customs advice is practical: crew meals packed for a delayed meal, nothing perishable that cannot survive the wait, and no food left unsealed.

Can you bring food of your own on a flight out of KISP, and what about the departure slot?+

Bringing your own food on a flight from Long Island MacArthur is fine, but it must be properly sealed and declared if it crosses a border. A tight slot is a reason to let us do the packing.

Is catering part of a charter into Islip, and what local product goes on the menu?+

Catering is not part of a charter into KISP; the aircraft contract and the food order are two things. A typical order adds one Long Island product, say bay scallops in winter or sweet corn in summer.
