Catering to your aircraft in Columbia/Mount Pleasant.
KMRC at 681 ft is a small-galley airport: shallow drawers, one oven, a crew that works the cabin alone. We pack Tennessee food for that setup and hand it over at the aircraft.
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.
Maury County is Tennessee middle country, and a private jet menu for Columbia/Mount Pleasant reads like a Southern kitchen packed for altitude. Hot chicken is the state's calling card, and on an inflight menu it travels best with the bread, pickles and sauce kept apart so nothing steams soft in the drawer.
Smoked pork and country ham carry well as private jet food: sliced thin, chilled, and plated cold with pimento cheese and pickled okra. These local specialities suit cold platters for a short sector out of KMRC, and we pack the biscuits separately so they stay light.
For gourmet inflight meals we cook Tennessee classics for the galley: pulled pork with slaw on the side, mac and cheese finished in the oven, collard greens in their own tray. Private jet snacks follow the same line: boiled peanuts, pecan pralines and sorghum-glazed nuts. Private jet platters of local cheese, cured ham and seasonal fruit finish the order.

Columbia and Mount Pleasant draw executives for the motorsport and manufacturing trade, and KMRC takes their jets on the Central time zone clock. Private jet catering here leans on Tennessee kitchens: smoked meats, pimento cheese, pecan sweets. In-flight catering and aviation catering are packed for the galley you have, and business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders go through the FBO. Diplomatic flight catering requests are cleared by protocol first.
At Maury County, corporate jet catering often serves a half-day trip with four to six passengers. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu from Southern ingredients, and business jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all follow the same galley rules.
When a state visit aircraft or official party uses Columbia/Mount Pleasant, the menu is cleared first. State visit aircraft catering, government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering all share one discreet procedure.
Southern kitchens hide allergens in the gravy, the greens and the fryer oil, so special meals for KMRC are written as a procedure from the pass to the seat. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked and sealed on their own, allergen free orders get a separate board, and kids meals are packed to the headcount you give us.
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.
For a KMRC rotation we pack crew meals on request, billed as any order. Flight crew meals suit a long duty day; pilot meals are boxed to be eaten at the controls; crew catering covers the cabin; cockpit meals stay simple. Crew meal boxes carry role labels, and different meals for pilots are available on request.
FBO catering at KMRC is a hand-to-hand job: your handling agent meets us at the ramp beside the general aviation terminal, and the boxes go straight up the stairs. Catering delivery to the aircraft runs through the same door as fuel and bags, so ground handling catering and handling agent catering are simply part of how the ramp works at Maury County.
Most traffic at Maury County is light and midsize jets and turboprops, where the galley is small and the cabin door is at stair height, so no high loader is needed. For anything larger, tell us the type and we plan galley catering and airside catering delivery around the aircraft provisioning the door and galley allow.
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.

KMRC is a general aviation field at 681 ft in Tennessee. FBO services and ground handling services keep the ramp running, and airport catering is delivered at the terminal.
Business aviation hub it is not, but KMRC takes corporate flights year-round. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered here; business aviation catering and executive jet catering go through the FBO, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are on request.
United States food-import rules apply on international arrivals, and animal products draw the most scrutiny. For departures from Columbia/Mount Pleasant, none of that touches the menu.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Rather than an elaborate service at Maury County Airport, our 10 guests wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries, organised sensibly around two separate meal services. For our team, the strongest part of their aviation catering was how they handled cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the canapés, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. We could distinguish the starters at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
“Keeping the galley organised at KMRC meant planning yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 4 guests with an evening cabin service in mind. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the starters could be arranged during service. The sauces stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. I would discuss aviation catering services with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination.”
“The 12 passenger portions of yoghurt pots and fresh berries were the easy part; managing a tight boarding window at MRC took more planning. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the desserts to arrive in clearly marked packs. The breakfast portions were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. I want an aviation catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Private jet catering cost depends on what you choose, such as pecan pralines versus a full pulled pork service. A crew idling at KMRC can order light boxes or hot plates, and both are priced as menu items.
Lead time is really a conversation about the slot. Call or email, day or night, and we confirm what fits the turnaround; last-minute orders are handled.
A domestic flight from Columbia/Mount Pleasant keeps customs out of it. We pick Maury County staples like smoked pork and pecan sweets and pack them for the galley.
Bringing food is possible, but customs and agriculture rules in the United States are strict on animal products. Our catering is cooked for the flight and sealed for the galley.
Catering sits on its own invoice, not inside a charter. The galley size decides the menu: small ovens mean cold platters and finish-in-oven sides.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
