Catering to your aircraft in Newburgh.
KSWF gives business aviation room to breathe. We write the menu for the galley on your tail, in New York terms, with Hudson Valley produce when the season allows, and pass it to your handling agent on the slot.
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.
The Hudson Valley feeds this field. Orchards around Newburgh turn out apples, pears and cider from late summer, and the farms along the river send cheese, honey, eggs and sweet corn. A private jet menu built on local specialities in New York starts there, and an inflight menu that respects the season reads better than one flown in from elsewhere.
New York State cooking also means the deli and bakery habit: rye, bagels, smoked fish, pastrami cut thin. Private jet food of that kind travels well cold, so it suits a galley with a small oven and a drawer. Ask for the apple and cheese board on an outbound leg, or a fuller table if the trip is going back into the city.
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.
Stewart sits in the Hudson Valley, a long civilian runway beside the Army's old West Point country, and it is where business jets avoid the queue of the city airfields. Private jet catering here usually starts with a tail number and a seat plan, then follows the season: apples and cider in autumn, a lighter table in summer. The same brief covers inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for the whole trip, and the business aviation catering kitchen also writes cabin crew meals for the flight attendant who has to serve them.
Whether the flight is corporate, charter or private, the brief at KSWF starts with the cabin. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering use the same kitchen as VIP flight catering, and our private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu for luxury inflight catering and for charter flight catering alike.
When an official aircraft lands at SWF, government flight catering follows the delegation's rules. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are packed sealed, labelled and handed to the aircraft under the protocol office's eye.
At KSWF the diet is handled by procedure: kosher and halal meals are packed sealed and numbered by seat, vegan and gluten free dishes cooked on a separate board, and allergen free orders written against the kitchen's own allergen sheet. Special meals and kids meals are named on the box, never guessed, so the flight attendant can read a lid and know.
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 request, the crew's dishes for a KSWF departure go onto the same order and the same invoice as the passengers' food. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to eat with one hand, crew catering is labelled CREW, and crew meal boxes can carry different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. The cabin crew meals, the pilots' trays and the guest trays stay apart.
At KSWF, FBO catering is delivered to the FBO on your slot. The handling agent and the general aviation terminal manage access, and ground handling catering is coordinated with them so the order reaches the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO, handling agent catering and the airside handover follow the airport's own routine.
Stewart handles larger business jets and the occasional bigger cabin, so the galley catering brief starts with the type. A high loader is rarely needed for a midsize jet, but for a larger aircraft with a high door sill, airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent and aircraft provisioning is agreed against the galley layout before the slot.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

New York Stewart is an airport in Orange County, in the Hudson Valley, with a long runway and a quiet general aviation terminal alongside its commercial traffic. For airport catering, that means room on the ramp and an easy handover.
KSWF is a business aviation hub in the Hudson Valley, with general aviation and FBO services and ground handling services on the field. Inflight catering and in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered for the aircraft, executive jet catering for larger cabins, diplomatic flight catering for official visits, and cabin crew meals for the crew.
US customs and USDA rules decide what food may enter the country, so fresh produce, meat and dairy from abroad are restricted. Orders at SWF are provisioned in the US and labelled for the aircraft.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The cabin briefing at SWF included 9 passenger meals, a request for chicken skewers with a couscous salad, and instructions addressing a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls prepared the desserts for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. I want a private jet catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We could finish the salads as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
“One detail shaped our order at New York Stewart International Airport: a revised passenger count, alongside a request for vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 3 passengers. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. The Galley Girls updated the sauces in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. We checked the fruit plates against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“It was the packing plan I cared about at KSWF, with 9 servings of a charcuterie board and fresh bread and a short ground stop to consider. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about final order confirmation. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the breakfast portions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. We could distinguish the snack boxes at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
Aircraft first, menu second. A midsize jet with a modest galley limits what can be served, which keeps the bill simple. A larger aircraft or a full plated dinner raises it. Send the type and we price private jet catering for that galley.
Weather windows decide when jets leave Newburgh, and the catering keeps up. Send what you know and we start; if the window moves, we move with it. Late orders are handled.
For the way back, order the return leg at SWF and keep it domestic. Anything brought into the US from abroad must clear agriculture inspection, which is why meals for the journey home are better provisioned here than carried in.
Passengers can carry their own, but a late or early departure from Newburgh is rarely the moment to be shopping. Order it and it arrives sealed and labelled; keep the personal food for something the passengers truly want to bring.
No, catering is a separate order. The charter price does not include it, and the handling agent only gives airside access; we bring the food, labelled by seat, and invoice it on its own.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
