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 Nogales (OLS)

Nogales sits in the Sonoran borderlands of southern Arizona, and the private jet menu at Nogales International draws on both sides of that line. Local specialities that travel well in a galley include carne asada, which we slice and pack with the sauce apart so it can be re-plated, and chiles rellenos, finished in the oven on board. Cold plates lean on citrus, jicama and avocado, which hold up in dry cabin air. An inflight menu for Arizona works best when the heat of the day is respected: dishes that eat well chilled, and one hot course that finishes in your oven.

For private jet food in Arizona, think Sonoran: tortillas made fresh, grilled meats, beans, fresh salsas packed in separate pots so nothing softens before service. Private jet platters for a group arriving at OLS can pair cold cuts and local cheeses with fruit, while gourmet inflight meals take the form of grilled chicken with a chile sauce or a seasonal vegetable plate. Private jet snacks follow the same logic: pepitas, dried fruit, citrus. These local specialities of Nogales are built around what holds in a cabin, not what looks best on a menu card.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Nogales International Airport (KOLS)

Nogales International sits at 3,955 feet in the Arizona high desert, a field where the weather turns by afternoon and where private jet catering has to be built for dry air and heat, not for a hotel lobby. For your inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at KOLS, we cook and pack for the galley you actually fly, from business aviation catering for a corporate crew to executive jet catering for a charter. Diplomatic flight catering is handled through protocol, and cabin crew meals come packed for the jumpseat.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Nogales (KOLS)

Corporate and charter crews who fly to Nogales International usually do so for a short stay, a border-region visit or a connection onward. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here means a compact menu: a chilled Sonoran platter, one hot course that finishes in your oven, and snacks that hold in dry air. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same logic, and charter flight catering is planned the same way. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around your galley, not around a catalogue.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Nogales International Airport (KOLS)

A government or diplomatic movement through OLS needs a menu cleared before preparation. Our head of state flight catering follows that sequence, and VIP aviation catering is staffed by people who have served these cabins. State visit aircraft catering at a border airfield also involves your handling agent for access, and government flight catering is invoiced like any order.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Nogales International Airport

For the flight deck at OLS, crew meals are a request, not an assumption, and they are invoiced separately. Flight crew meals can be hot or cold; pilot meals are never the same dish for captain and first officer when policy asks otherwise. Crew catering and cockpit meals arrive in crew meal boxes that open easily. Different meals for pilots are built in as standard practice, and cabin crew meals go with the passenger order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Nogales International Airport

At Nogales International, FBO catering is received by the FBO or your handling agent and brought to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against your slot, with ground handling catering coordinated through the general aviation terminal. Handling agent catering at this small field means one contact who opens the gate and signs for the order.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Nogales International Airport (OLS)

Most aircraft at Nogales International are small to mid-size, so galley catering is handed up by hand or by cart rather than by high loader. Airside catering delivery follows the door height of your type, and aircraft provisioning is planned against the cabin you fly.

About the airportKOLS / OLS

Aviation catering and business aviation at Nogales International Airport (OLS)

Nogales International is a small general aviation airport in southern Arizona, serving the border region and business travel into the area. Airport catering here is quiet and personal. FBO services and ground handling services are simple, and the field is easy to work on for a crew that knows the routine.

Business aviation

Nogales International is a general aviation field rather than a major business aviation hub. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here serve small cabins; aviation catering and business aviation catering follow your aircraft. Executive jet catering suits corporate trips, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals complete the order. Summer monsoon cells and winter clarity set the pattern.

Customs & food import

As a border airport, Nogales International sits under United States customs and agricultural rules. Fresh meat, dairy and produce from abroad are restricted. For catering, we prepare locally so the question of import does not arise, and your handling agent manages airside access.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“My order at OLS covered chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 7 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the crew provisions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. We could account for the side dishes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. With VIP flight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Our priority at Nogales International Airport was roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 4 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls suggested shallow trays for the side dishes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the charter flight catering arrangements. We placed the canapés in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Rather than an elaborate service at KOLS, our 3 guests wanted a cold lunch with cheese and fruit, organised sensibly around a tight boarding window. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet food was how they handled catering handover. The Galley Girls updated the crew provisions 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.”

Ordering for KOLS, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered at Nogales International?+

Ordering the return in advance from Nogales gives you a say in the budget: swap a hot course for a cold one, drop a side, add snacks. Private jet catering costs are built line by line, so the figure you approve is the figure invoiced.

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

Nogales International rarely sees congestion, so an odd-hour slot is not a problem. Lead time follows what you order: simple cold plates are easy to turn around, local hot dishes want a little more notice. Last-minute orders are handled, day or night.

Do customs rules affect private jet catering at Nogales International?+

Border proximity makes customs a real topic at OLS. Your handling agent decides who goes airside, and the United States restricts certain fresh foods from abroad. Our catering is prepared on the U.S. side, ready for handover.

Can you bring food on a short repositioning flight into Nogales International?+

Yes, you can bring your own, but on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin it rarely makes sense, and U.S. rules limit what fresh food may arrive from abroad. A light order from us for KOLS is easy to place and handled like any other.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Nogales International?+

Catering is not part of the charter. A long leg into KOLS with two services on board needs its own order: a first service and a second, planned for what your galley can hold, invoiced apart from the aircraft.
