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 Newport (EFK)

Vermont has a food identity that travels well, and Newport sits in its most rural corner. A private jet menu for KEFK draws on the Northeast Kingdom's dairy, orchards and sugarbush: aged cheddar boards, maple-glazed salmon, apple-and-cheddar plates, cider-braised pork. The inflight menu keeps these dishes simple enough for a small galley: cold plates that go straight to the seat, and hot dishes that finish in the oven with the sauce apart.

Private jet food in Vermont starts with the pantry, not the restaurant. Local specialities from around Newport include maple syrup from Orleans County, Cabot-style cheddar, Vermont smoked turkey and ham, wild-leek and ramp preparations in spring, and cider donuts in autumn. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks at EFK are built from these. The result is an inflight menu that tastes of Vermont rather than of an airport.

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

KEFK sits at 930 feet in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, where a Newport stop in January means a cold apron and a galley that needs food built to wait. Private jet catering here leans on what the region actually produces: maple, aged cheddar, smoked meats, apples. Inflight catering is cooked and packed for the aircraft you fly, and aviation catering for the stop is handed over at the FBO. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and the occasional diplomatic flight catering request all follow the same routine: type, slot, headcount, and any cabin crew meals to add.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Northeast Kingdom International Airport (EFK)

A typical business jet catering order at KEFK is for a small party flying into the Northeast Kingdom for a long weekend: four guests, a light or midsize jet, a galley with one drawer. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here stays short and exact. Charter flight catering for a group of hunters or skiers differs from luxury inflight catering for an executive. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the type and the stay.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Northeast Kingdom International Airport (EFK)

When an official party flies into Northeast Kingdom International, the catering is a question of clearance, not cuisine. Government flight catering is agreed in advance, head of state flight catering uses a fixed team and sealed trays, VIP aviation catering stays low-profile, and state visit aircraft catering is coordinated through the handling agent at the FBO.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Northeast Kingdom International Airport (KEFK)

Newport has no long bench of specialist suppliers, so a dietary request at KEFK is handled as a procedure on our side, not a promise on a label. Give us the guest and the restriction when you order: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free or kids meals, all of them special meals prepared to the card. Cheddar in the gratin and maple in the glaze make dairy and nuts easy to miss in Vermont cooking, so allergen free dishes are cooked on a separate board and sealed apart. Each tray is marked by seat and by restriction, and crew restrictions follow the same card.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Northeast Kingdom International Airport (EFK)

A crew landing at EFK often has a long wait or a short turn, and neither leaves time to cook. Crew meals are ordered with the flight and invoiced as their own line. Flight crew meals and pilot meals come as crew meal boxes, crew catering for a larger group is plated, cockpit meals are handheld, and different meals for pilots are prepared separately on request.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Northeast Kingdom International Airport (EFK): delivery to your aircraft

At Northeast Kingdom International there is one place to hand food over: the FBO. FBO catering is brought to the general aviation terminal or the aircraft, ground handling catering is arranged with your handler, and handling agent catering confirms who signs for the box and which door opens. Catering delivery to the FBO is planned against the slot.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Northeast Kingdom International Airport (KEFK)

Most aircraft at KEFK are light or midsize jets with a stair door, so galley catering is carried aboard by hand, in cases, up the airstair. Airside catering delivery is arranged through the FBO or your handling agent. If a larger aircraft arrives with a high door, we adjust the packing for aircraft provisioning: trolleys, sealed boxes and a plan for where each item goes in the galley. Name the aircraft type and the packing list is built around its door and galley.

About the airportKEFK / EFK

About Northeast Kingdom International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Northeast Kingdom International is the airport for Newport and the surrounding Vermont Northeast Kingdom. Airport catering here is a small operation: general aviation traffic, a single FBO, and quiet days. FBO services and ground handling services are simple, and catering fits into the same pattern.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is too big a phrase for Newport, but the field matters in foliage season, ski season and hunting season. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at KEFK follow those seasons. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering fit the small groups that fly in. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible. Cabin crew meals are ordered as part of the trip, as required. General aviation here is steady, not busy.

Customs & food import

The United States requires food on board to be declared when arriving from abroad. At Newport, customs for international arrivals is handled through the usual process, and your handling agent confirms what applies. Catering we supply is domestic, so ordering locally keeps declarations short.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Good preparation made the difference at KEFK, where 3 guests expected grilled salmon with a lemon dressing despite a short ground stop. I want a private jet chef to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls suggested shallow trays for the desserts, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the starters from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 8 guests at EFK, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a late menu amendment. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. I would discuss in flight catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination.”

Felipe S. | FBO operator

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“For 3 passengers departing from Northeast Kingdom International Airport, the agreed menu was chicken skewers with a couscous salad; our main consideration was two separate meal services. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the canapés, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. It was useful to see the crew provisions listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering services.”

Before you order at KEFKAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Northeast Kingdom International?+

Pricing for private jet catering at KEFK is built order by order. A pilot waiting through duty time may want two meals, a passenger group may want a full platter, and all of it is invoiced as one catering line. Ask us for a quote with your tail, date and headcount and you get the figures before you commit.

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

At EFK, lead time is shaped by the length of the turnaround. A crew landing and leaving after a short stop needs everything packed and waiting at the FBO, while a longer stay gives us more room. Send the slot and we plan backwards from it. Last-minute orders are handled too.

What are the customs rules for catering at Northeast Kingdom International?+

One local product is enough to explain it: maple syrup from Orleans County is a domestic product and travels freely within the country. Customs rules matter more for what comes in. At Northeast Kingdom International, speak to your handling agent about declarations before you land.

Can you bring food onto a private jet at KEFK?+

Passengers can carry their own food, but customs and food-import rules for the United States apply on arrival from abroad. For a flight starting or ending in Vermont, it is usually simplest to order locally. Ask your handling agent if you have a specific item in mind.

Is catering part of a charter into Newport?+

The charter covers the flight; catering is a separate order. For Newport this is easy to arrange: send the type, the slot and the guest count. A small galley means we pack for a short list of dishes that finish well in one oven pass.
