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

The Philadelphia table, packed for private jet catering

Philadelphia eats with its hands and takes pride in it, and that shapes the private jet menu for Northeast Philadelphia. The inflight menu draws on Pennsylvania: hoagie rolls, roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe, soft pretzels with mustard, scrapple at breakfast, and water ice in summer. We sort these local specialities by how they behave in a galley, which is the real test of private jet food. Private jet platters carry the cold items sliced and chilled, gourmet inflight meals cover the hot dishes for the oven, and private jet snacks keep pretzels and Tastykake-style sweet bites within reach. Pennsylvania produce changes by season: Lancaster County vegetables and Jersey tomatoes in summer, apples and root vegetables in autumn.

The local table at KPNE is a Philadelphia one. A cheesesteak does not travel as a sandwich: we pack the sliced rib-eye and onions in one container, the roll and cheese apart, and you assemble in the galley. That is how our private jet menu works across Pennsylvania: the inflight menu keeps each local speciality in its own part, and private jet food stays crisp until it is plated. Expect private jet platters of Pennsylvania cheese and cured meat, gourmet inflight meals such as chicken with long-hot peppers, and private jet snacks like pretzel bites. The local specialities change with the market: peaches in July, apple butter in October.

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

Northeast Philadelphia Airport sits at 120 feet on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware, a reliever field where light jets and midsize cabins park on a general aviation ramp. Private jet catering here means a Philly-style menu that survives a small galley: hoagie rolls packed apart, soft pretzels, warm mains for the oven. We treat it as aviation catering for crews first, with inflight catering and in-flight catering built around the aircraft you actually have, and cabin crew meals boxed separately. Executive jet catering at KPNE usually means a tight cabin, so a diplomatic flight catering brief or a business aviation catering order is cooked and packed for the drawer, not for a restaurant table.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Philadelphia for business and VIP flights (PNE)

A typical KPNE brief is a light or midsize jet with four to six passengers, a small galley and an executive jet catering order: corporate jet catering for a day trip, charter flight catering for a weekend, VIP flight catering when the passenger list asks for it. Business jet catering here means a cheesesteak kit, a hoagie platter, luxury inflight catering with local produce. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your type and the number of seats.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE)

Philadelphia kitchens lean on wheat rolls, cheese, nuts in desserts and shellfish from the Jersey shore, so at KPNE we check those first. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are written as special meals with their own board, a sealed box and a seat-number label, handled apart from the rest of the order. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and we plan the dish around the local menu rather than swapping one ingredient at the end.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Northeast Philadelphia Airport

FBO catering at KPNE is handed over at the aircraft by your handling agent or at the general aviation terminal. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering, and handling agent catering follows the gate and ramp access you give us.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE)

Northeast Philadelphia is a light and midsize jet field, so most orders go straight into the cabin from a cart at the stairs. When a larger cabin or a long-range type arrives, aircraft provisioning changes: we confirm the door height and whether a high loader is needed on the ramp. Galley catering for a heavy jet means more trolleys, a different loading order and airside catering delivery coordinated with your handling agent, while a small jet needs boxes that fit one drawer.

About the airportKPNE / PNE

Airport catering at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE)

Northeast Philadelphia Airport is a city-owned reliever airport for Philadelphia, used by business and general aviation. Airport catering here is for corporate crews, charter flights and private owners, with FBO services and ground handling services on the field. It is a business aviation hub for the northeast of the city.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at KPNE fit light jets and turboprops. Aviation catering and business aviation catering orders usually come with a tail and a headcount; executive jet catering is common for corporate trips, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol first, and cabin crew meals travel in their own box. General aviation traffic gets busy on summer weekends.

Customs & food import

US customs applies to arrivals from abroad, where meat, fresh produce and dairy can be restricted. Your handling agent will confirm what is needed at the terminal. Domestic flights into Philadelphia carry no such question, and catering prepared locally is not an import.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Having 12 guests request beef fillet with roasted potatoes at KPNE meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for several individual meal preferences. The order made business aviation catering feel manageable because the written menu details had been considered beforehand. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the side dishes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

Emma R. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★☆LARGE CABIN

“Nothing about the 3 guest order at PNE called for excess complexity: just mushroom risotto and a green salad and sensible planning for a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. I found the sandwiches without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. The order made jet catering feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand.”

Fatima D. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★CHARTER

“A request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, 6 passengers, and several individual meal preferences: that was our brief for the departure at Northeast Philadelphia Airport. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the desserts could be arranged during service. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. For VIP flight catering, that attention to cabin service sequence made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Philadelphia in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight into Philadelphia?+

Empty cabin, short hop into Philadelphia, two pilots: the order is two crew meals and a cold drink, priced dish by dish. A passenger leg adds platters and hot mains. We give the cost of private jet catering for Northeast Philadelphia as a quote tied to your menu, and you confirm it first.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at KPNE on a long leg with two services?+

A long leg with two services needs one thing more than a short one: a plan for what is served when. Tell us the departure slot and which meal is first, and we pack service one and service two in separate, labelled boxes. The lead time at KPNE stays simple, and last-minute orders are handled when you call.

What about customs when catering a flight into KPNE with a passenger count that changes?+

Customs at KPNE depends on where the aircraft comes from. International arrivals declare food, and agricultural items like fresh fruit or meat can be taken. If the headcount moves, tell us and we change the order; individually wrapped portions make that simple and keep your galley clean.

Can you bring food on board a government or delegation flight into Northeast Philadelphia?+

Yes, within customs rules, but a delegation flight benefits from a menu with a paper trail. We cook for the party, label by seat, keep allergen notes on a separate card and deliver to the FBO. Bringing your own food is allowed; having us supply it keeps it traceable.

Is catering part of a charter into Philadelphia when a guest needs a special meal?+

No. A private jet charter is the aircraft and the crew; catering at KPNE is something you order. For a special-meal request, a child's meal or a halal dish, we plan it from the first call and hand it over at the FBO.
