Catering to your aircraft in Dugway Proving Ground.
Dugway Proving Ground is quiet, dry and a long way from resupply. Whatever goes on board at Michael AAF is what you serve, so we pack by seat, sauces apart, ready for your oven.
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.
Dugway Proving Ground sits in the Utah west desert, and the food people reach for here is plain, sturdy and built for dry air. A private jet menu for DPG leans on what the Intermountain West does well: smoked trout salad, Utah honey, fry-bread tacos, bison sliders and Utah peaches when the season allows.
Cold plates travel best at altitude, so private jet platters of cured meats, regional cheeses and honey-glazed fruit are the easy choice, with Utah and Dugway Proving Ground flavours kept simple. Gourmet inflight meals such as bison short rib arrive finished for your oven, sauce in its own pot. Private jet snacks run to jerky, pistachios and apricot bars. Our local specialities are packed as an inflight menu you can re-plate in the galley, private jet food that holds up in dry desert air.
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.
Michael AAF sits on the Utah desert floor at 4,349 ft, a military field where civil visitors arrive by arrangement and the galley has to carry everything it needs. Private jet catering here is packed for a cabin that cannot restock on the ground: inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering built around your seat plan. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same brief, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are arranged through your handling agent.
Flights through Dugway Proving Ground tend to be purposeful and low-key, so the menu is too. Corporate jet catering and business jet catering are built around the galley's one oven. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering stay simple, luxury inflight catering is a few exact dishes, and our private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu to your headcount.
Michael AAF is a military installation, which makes discretion the baseline. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering here follow protocol: named team, traceable ingredients, nothing said about who flies. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared through the protocol office and your handling agent before anything is cooked.
Special meals at Dugway Proving Ground are handled as a procedure: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and sealed apart from guest trays, with kids meals packed on request. In this part of Utah, hidden wheat in breadings and nuts in snack mixes are the usual traps, so the seat card names every restriction.
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.
On a day at Michael AAF with little around the apron, the crew eats what you load. Crew meals, flight crew meals and crew catering are ordered when you want them and billed on the same invoice as the rest. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed easy to eat, in crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots when the operator asks.
At KDPG the handover is made airside through your handling agent, so access has to be confirmed first. FBO catering, handling agent catering and ground handling catering all depend on that clearance, and catering delivery to the FBO or general aviation terminal is arranged around your slot.
Michael AAF is a military field, so how the galley is loaded depends on your aircraft type, the door height and the handling agent's equipment. Galley catering for a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning, while a light jet takes everything by hand. Name the aircraft type and the loading method follows from the door and the galley.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Michael AAF, also filed as Dugway Proving Ground Airport, sits on Utah's west desert floor at 4,349 ft. Airport catering here serves general aviation visitors and official traffic on a remote, quiet field, and FBO services are arranged around each arrival rather than waiting on the ramp.
This is not a crowded business aviation hub, and that suits a lean galley. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are small and exact here. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow your manifest, with diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals arranged through ground handling services.
Domestic catering at KDPG is simple; an onward international leg is not. Customs at the destination decide which animal and plant products may stay on board, so ingredients travel sealed and easy to inspect, and FBO services on arrival can open the galley for the officer.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at DPG, where 9 guests expected mushroom risotto and a green salad despite a revised passenger count. The starters supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. For private jet meals, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage. Keeping the canapés identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“The cabin briefing at Michael AAF (Dugway Proving Ground) Airport included 3 passenger meals, a request for beef fillet with roasted potatoes, and instructions addressing a family lunch request. I would discuss private jet menu with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in sealed meal containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the side dishes as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
“Keeping the galley organised at KDPG meant planning mushroom risotto and a green salad for 3 guests with a short ground stop in mind. I want a private jet chef to understand crew briefing, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the side dishes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the salads without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
The type of aircraft sets the scale: its oven, its drawer space and its seat count. A trout salad costs less than braised bison, and a small set of private jet snacks costs less again. We price private jet catering for KDPG from the final menu.
In this part of Utah the season sets the pace, with summer heat and winter wind both able to move a departure. Give us the slot as soon as it exists, and a seasonal menu is easy to build. Changes and last-minute orders are handled.
For the way back from KDPG, domestic return catering is straightforward. For an international continuation, customs rules on animal and plant products apply at arrival, so we keep ingredients simple, sealed and documented.
Night flights out of Dugway Proving Ground are quiet and dark, which makes a pre-packed order more practical than self-supply. Bring your own if you prefer, but an order saves galley work at the worst hour.
No, a charter does not include meals. Food is a separate order with its own invoice, and at Michael AAF we need the handling agent confirmed so the delivery can reach the aircraft.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
