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

What Monroe brings to your in-flight catering (MLU)

Monroe sits in Ouachita Parish, in the northeast Louisiana Delta, where the table is Cajun-adjacent but more Southern than Creole. A private jet menu built here uses what the region does well: gumbo, red beans, boudin, fried catfish, shrimp and crawfish when in season, pecans from the Delta, and sweet potato in everything from pie to purée. For private jet food, the question is always how it survives the drawer and the oven, so a gumbo travels with the rice packed apart and a fried dish travels re-crisped or not at all. Our inflight menu for Louisiana keeps the sauces in their own pots and the seafood chilled until service. Local specialities such as pecan pralines, tea cakes and Louisiana hot sauces make good private jet snacks, and the crew gets a proper box of the same kitchen. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet platters here are about generous, honest regional cooking, plated by you in the galley.

Louisiana is the sort of region where a menu writes itself, and Monroe adds its own Delta character: catfish from nearby ponds, pecans, sweet potatoes, and a taste for smoked and slow-cooked meats. Our private jet menu for the Monroe area starts there. An inflight menu might run crawfish étouffée over rice, a Cajun chicken salad, or a muffuletta-style sandwich cut for the cabin. Private jet food from this region needs the right packing: sauces apart, rice apart, fried items sent to be refreshed in the oven. Local specialities, from pralines to pecan pie, become private jet snacks that last the whole trip. Louisiana does not do small portions, so we size platters to the headcount you give us.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Monroe Regional Airport (KMLU)

Monroe Regional sits in the flat Ouachita River country of northeast Louisiana, and the trips that land at KMLU usually come for hunting, timber, medical business or the local plants, in small and midsize jets with modest galleys. Private jet catering here means food that works in a drawer and a single oven. Inflight catering for Monroe leans on Louisiana kitchens, in-flight catering can stay simple or turn regional, and aviation catering for business aviation catering clients and executive jet catering trips is packed for the galley you really have. Diplomatic flight catering is rare at this field, but it is covered, and cabin crew meals are ordered the same way as the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Monroe Regional Airport (MLU)

A typical business jet brief into Monroe is a small party for a plant visit, a hunt or a family trip, flown in a light or midsize jet with a compact galley. Our business jet catering and corporate jet catering are cooked for that cabin. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method, and luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around Louisiana ingredients rather than a hotel menu moved on a trolley.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Monroe Regional Airport (MLU)

Official aircraft are uncommon at KMLU, but they do come, and the order is different from a charter. Government flight catering starts with protocol, and head of state flight catering means traceable sourcing and a small named team. For VIP aviation catering or state visit aircraft catering, nothing is cooked until the menu is approved.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Monroe Regional Airport (MLU)

Monroe's kitchens run on roux, shellfish stock, pork and butter, so allergens hide in places a menu would not suggest: gumbo thickened with flour, étouffée with shrimp stock, red beans cooked with sausage. We handle kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests as a procedure, with a separate board, a separate box and a card marked by guest and restriction. Special meals are planned dish by dish for Louisiana cooking, allergen free preparation is kept apart from the fryer and the shellfish line, and kids meals are simple, mild versions of the same menu.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Monroe Regional Airport (MLU)

Whoever is flying into KMLU needs feeding too, and we treat that as its own order. Crew meals and flight crew meals come in labelled boxes marked CREW, while pilot meals can be packed as different meals for pilots when policy asks. Crew catering is on request and invoiced like the rest, cockpit meals are eaten at the controls, and crew meal boxes keep until the next leg. Cabin crew meals can be added to the same booking.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Monroe Regional Airport

Monroe has a general aviation terminal and a ramp where the FBO sits, and that is where we hand the order over. FBO catering here means the box or tray goes through the terminal side to your aircraft on your slot, with ground handling catering arranged around where you are parked. Handling agent catering is simple at KMLU: your handling agent opens the gate, we meet them, and catering delivery to the FBO ends at the aircraft door. Send us the tail and the parking spot, and last-minute orders are handled.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Monroe Regional Airport (MLU)

Monroe sees mostly light and midsize jets, but when a larger aircraft arrives, the type decides the loading: door height, galley position and whether a high loader is needed at all. For galley catering on a bigger airframe at KMLU, tell your handling agent and us the type so airside catering delivery can be arranged, and aircraft provisioning is staged to the door you will really use.

About the airportKMLU / MLU

About Monroe Regional Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Monroe Regional is the airport for Monroe and Ouachita Parish in northeast Louisiana, at roughly 79 feet above sea level. Scheduled flights share the field with general aviation, and the FBO services on the ramp look after visiting jets, which gives airport catering a plain brief: a general aviation terminal, a ground handling services team that knows the apron, and a handover at the aircraft.

Business aviation

Monroe is a quiet business aviation hub: hunting parties in season, timber and plant visits, medical and family trips, mostly light and midsize jets. FBO services and ground handling services keep it straightforward. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are built around a compact galley, aviation catering and business aviation catering around the handling agent, and executive jet catering for guests and crew. Diplomatic flight catering is rare here, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the rest.

Customs & food import

A domestic flight out of KMLU carries no import rules for food. Arriving from abroad, the aircraft clears US customs and agriculture at its first port of entry, and undeclared meat or fresh produce can be removed. The FBO services team and your ground handling services contact know the routine, and we pack sealed, labelled items so nothing awkward turns up when a business aviation hub like this one clears an international arrival.

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Getting smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit ready for 9 guests at Monroe Regional Airport required an order that accounted for a small galley worktop. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the starters had been grouped. Knowing where the desserts were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. I appreciated the emphasis on crew briefing throughout the business jet catering arrangements.”

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET
“Several practical details needed attention at KMLU, with grilled salmon with a lemon dressing requested for 5 guests and a short ground stop to accommodate. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the canapés clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the sauces to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the business aviation catering arrangements.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET
“As the person coordinating avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 3 passengers at MLU, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the main courses to arrive in shallow trays. Our brief for jet catering was met with a sensible plan for crew briefing. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

What crews ask before MonroeAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a crew waiting on the ground at Monroe?+

Start from the duty day. Pilots at MLU facing a long wait need a proper meal, not a snack box, and the cost follows the dishes you pick: boudin and pecan pie sit lower than shrimp remoulade in season. Tell us how many are flying and how long you wait, and we build and price the order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Monroe Regional for a short turnaround?+

Slot first, menu second. A departure from MLU shortly after landing wants food that needs no fuss, while a longer ground stop can take a gumbo that finishes in the oven. Last-minute orders are handled, and your handling agent gets the details.

Do customs rules affect the Louisiana pecans or other local products on my menu out of Monroe?+

Customs only matters at KMLU if the aircraft leaves the country. Then pecans, boudin or crawfish may have to come off the menu depending on the destination, and we settle that with you before packing. For a domestic trip the question never comes up.

Can you bring food of your own on board in the United States, or must it come from catering?+

On domestic flights outside food is allowed, though crews often prefer a sealed catering order for hygiene and storage. On an international leg out of MLU, customs rules on meat and produce apply at arrival, so can you bring food is really a question about the destination.

Is catering part of a charter into Monroe, or do I order it separately?+

No. Is catering part of a charter is a fair question, but at Monroe the charter covers the aircraft and nothing on the plate. Many aircraft here are light or midsize, so galley size sets the menu: a drawer and one oven mean cold platters and simple hot dishes, ordered and invoiced on their own.
