Catering to your aircraft in Lubbock.
Lubbock runs on game days, ranch business and oil-field travel, and the galley follows. We cook and pack for your aircraft and hand it over plane-side at the FBO, so the crew re-plates and serves.
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.
Lubbock is the capital of the Texas South Plains, and a private jet menu here leans on what the region actually grows and raises: Panhandle beef, cotton-country produce, Texas pecans and peaches from the Hill Country. An inflight menu for LBB can open with a brisket board or a cold smoked-turkey plate, then move to a chicken-fried steak made travel-safe, with the gravy packed apart. Private jet food from this part of Texas is hearty by nature, so the work is in portioning it for a drawer and an oven.
Local specialities set the tone for a Lubbock order: Texas brisket, jalapeño sausage, green chile, pinto beans and pecan pie. For a private jet menu in Texas, we keep sauces in their own pots, slice meat cold for re-plating and pack tortillas flat. The inflight menu changes with the season, since Texas peaches and cantaloupe arrive in summer and pecans in autumn. Private jet food at KLBB suits the cabin: bold flavours, honest portions, and nothing that sulks when it waits for the seatbelt sign.

At 3,282 feet on the high plains of West Texas, Lubbock Preston Smith International sees business aviation shaped by game days, oil-field travel and agricultural clients. Private jet catering here follows that rhythm: brisket and cotton-country produce on one trip, a plain cold lunch for a day-trip crew on the next. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for KLBB are built for the galley you actually fly, whether it is an executive jet catering order for a light jet or aviation catering for a larger cabin. Business aviation catering at LBB covers diplomatic flight catering requests as well, and cabin crew meals are written into the same order.
A corporate jet catering order out of Lubbock often means a day-trip with a hot lunch for four and a cold dinner for the return. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your galley, whether it is business jet catering for a light jet, VIP flight catering for an executive group, charter flight catering for a sports team or luxury inflight catering for a long leg.
When a delegation lands at KLBB, the order is cleared by protocol first. Our team prepares government flight catering and head of state flight catering in sealed, labelled trays, along with VIP aviation catering for the principal's party. State visit aircraft catering moves through the handling agent, quietly.
Texas cooking is heavy on wheat flour, dairy and nuts, so a kosher, halal, vegan or gluten free order in Lubbock starts with where allergens hide in local dishes: tortillas, gravy roux, pecan toppings, cheese sauces. Special meals are prepared on a separate board and packed sealed, with each tray marked by seat number. Allergen free orders are checked line by line against the menu, and kids meals can follow the same plan with smaller portions of mac and cheese, chicken tenders or fruit.
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 KLBB, crew catering starts with who is flying and how long the ground time is. Crew meals and flight crew meals are on request, billed with the order. Pilot meals are packed so captain and first officer never share a dish, cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes with the lid marked, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator wants them. Cabin crew meals are on the same list.
FBO catering at Lubbock ends where the aircraft door opens: the trays go to the general aviation terminal or straight to the ramp, depending on where you park. We route catering delivery to the FBO through your handling agent, and handling agent catering is planned so each tray comes off in the order the galley needs it, hot service first and the cold drawers after. Ground handling catering stays simple on a flat West Texas ramp, with the wind as the only thing to plan around.
Most traffic at KLBB is light and mid-size business jets that load from the door by hand, but larger cabins on charter or sports flights may call for a high loader. Galley catering for those aircraft is planned from the type and the galley layout. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is built around the carts, drawers and ovens you actually have, not the menu's full ambition.

Lubbock Preston Smith International is the main airport for the Texas South Plains, with a general aviation terminal that handles corporate, charter and sports traffic. Airport catering here suits a flat, windy field at 3,282 feet.
Business aviation at Lubbock is practical: FBO services at the general aviation terminal, ground handling services that know the wind, and a modest but steady business aviation hub on the South Plains. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering arrive here through the same handling agent, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals can sit on one order.
Food regulations at KLBB are domestic for most trips. For international arrivals, US customs restricts many fresh foods from abroad, so catering loaded in Texas is the simple route.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The 7 passenger portions of yoghurt pots and fresh berries were the easy part; managing a tight boarding window at LBB took more planning. The snack boxes came from The Galley Girls in sealed meal containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the side dishes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. My main takeaway from this flight catering order was the practical approach to portion planning.”
“One detail shaped our order at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport: a changing departure schedule, alongside a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 7 passengers. The main courses supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Our brief for flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for portion planning. Keeping the salads identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 12 guests at KLBB to enjoy smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit without a complicated cabin service. This experience of airline catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the canapés clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
A repositioning flight out of Lubbock with no passengers usually needs little: two crew meals, water, perhaps a light snack. Private jet catering cost then follows the dishes you pick, so a simple cold sandwich box is modest, while a hot plated ribeye is not. Tell us the aircraft type and we quote only what is going on board.
Lead time at LBB is easy when the brief is clear: aircraft type, departure slot, headcount, and which of the two services is hot. Last-minute orders are handled here, so a change of plan on the ramp does not have to stop the catering. We are reachable 24/7 by phone or email for exactly that situation.
At Lubbock, a last-minute change of passenger count rarely creates a customs problem by itself; the route does. International arrivals into the US restrict many fresh foods from abroad, so catering loaded in Texas is the safe choice. We recount portions by seat number and tell you where the margin is.
Yes, passengers can bring food on most private flights, but a government or delegation movement through KLBB usually calls for a pre-cleared menu. We prepare sealed, labelled trays, named by seat, and coordinate with your handling agent. If a principal needs a specific item, send the request ahead and we fold it into the order.
In a charter out of Lubbock, the aircraft price does not include food. You order catering separately and it is invoiced on its own. Special meals follow the same route: tell us the diet, the seat and any allergen, and we prepare a sealed, labelled tray handled apart from the main prep.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
