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 Dallas (DTX)

Dallas and the wider state of Texas give a private jet menu a strong local accent. A private jet menu for KTKI leans on Texas smoked brisket, Gulf shrimp, pecan pies and Hill Country peaches, and the inflight menu adjusts each of them for the galley it lands in.

Private jet food from North Texas travels well when it is planned: brisket sliced cold with its jus apart, shrimp chilled on ice, pecan pie boxed whole. These are the local specialities we build around for McKinney National, and each one is described below the way it actually travels.

A Dallas inflight menu can also stay light. Citrus salads, grilled chicken with chimichurri and a Tex-Mex plate with salsa in its own pot cover guests who want something other than barbecue. Texas is large enough that every brief finds a local speciality that fits.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at McKinney National Airport (KTKI)

A 585-foot-elevation field with a single long runway north of Dallas, McKinney National sees a steady stream of corporate jets, and private jet catering here is built around that steady business traffic. Inflight catering for these flights is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, so in-flight catering reaches the galley the way crew expect it. Aviation catering and business aviation catering at KTKI cover executive jet catering for owner flights, diplomatic flight catering for protocol-led movements, and cabin crew meals on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Dallas for business and VIP flights (DTX)

At McKinney National, a typical brief is a corporate jet with four to eight guests and a quick afternoon turn. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here are planned around the galley, and VIP flight catering follows the same logic. Charter flight catering, luxury inflight catering and a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu are available by phone or email. Private jet charter clients often ask for a lighter, Texas-flavoured plan.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at McKinney National Airport (DTX)

Special meals at McKinney National are a procedure written for the galley, not a line on a label. Texas kitchens lean on flour, dairy, nuts and shellfish, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders are cooked and packed separately from the brisket and cornbread. Kids meals are available on request too.

Pilot meals and crew meals at McKinney National Airport (DTX)

When the crew works a long Dallas rotation, crew meals matter. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals so the captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering and cockpit meals are boxed apart from guest trays, crew meal boxes carry no names, and different meals for pilots are available on request, with cabin crew meals on the same order.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, McKinney National Airport

We arrange FBO catering at McKinney National with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO or the aircraft depends on your slot, ground handling catering rules and the general aviation terminal's access. Handling agent catering can be adjusted if the departure shifts.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at McKinney National Airport

Aircraft at KTKI range from light jets to larger cabins, and the type decides the loading. Galley catering for a bigger cabin may call for a high loader at the door; for a light jet it is a cart and a short carry. We confirm airside catering delivery with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the galley you actually have.

About the airportKTKI / DTX

General aviation and airport catering at McKinney National Airport (DTX)

Also listed as TKI.

McKinney National is a general aviation airport serving the north Dallas corporate area. Airport catering here works through FBO services and ground handling services, and the field's role as a business aviation hub shapes when and how orders are handed over.

Business aviation

Executive jet catering and business aviation catering at McKinney National cover owner flights and charter trips. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders follow the same path, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol first, and cabin crew meals can be added to any order.

Customs & food import

Customs at a US airport involve agricultural inspection on arrival. McKinney National handles domestic flights mostly, but for international returns, meat, dairy and fresh produce rules apply. We plan the order around what can legally enter the country.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“For 9 passengers departing from DTX, the agreed menu was vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection; our main consideration was different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the desserts, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. I found the fruit plates without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I would discuss in-flight catering with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Choosing poached fish with steamed rice for 5 people at McKinney National Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a short ground stop. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sauces, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The cabin team could match the salads to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. The order made vip inflight catering feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand.”

Thomas P. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“On this departure from KTKI, 8 passengers had chosen fresh fruit and breakfast pastries, and two separate meal services needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the salads, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. With private jet catering, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. We placed the sauces in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

The McKinney National questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at McKinney National, and what changes it?+

A smaller aircraft means a smaller order, a bigger galley means more choice. For McKinney National we price the menu, not a flat tray, so how much does private jet catering cost is something we answer once we see the aircraft and the headcount.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at KTKI?+

Texas seasons set the rhythm: hot, stormy afternoons, clear winter mornings. Our lead time adapts to that. If your slot shifts, we adjust the order, and last-minute orders are handled at any hour.

What do customs mean for catering at McKinney National?+

For a flight that ends at KTKI after an international leg, customs checks the food that landed with you. A return leg ordered from here is planned with that in mind, so nothing needs to be thrown away.

Can you bring food on board at McKinney National, or must it be catered?+

Bringing your own is allowed. For an early morning slot, though, nothing is open nearby, so many crews order a simple cold box instead. Can you bring food? Yes, and we are happy to supplement.

Is catering part of a charter into Dallas McKinney?+

No, the meals are not part of the charter. You order them and they are invoiced separately. The handling agent manages airside access at KTKI, and we fit our delivery to that.
