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

Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at XNA

Northwest Arkansas is Ozark country, and the private jet menu for XNA follows it. The inflight menu draws on local specialities: fried catfish with hushpuppies, Arkansas-style smoked pork, tomato gravy and biscuits, pecan pie, and Arkansas Delta rice. We pack private jet food so each dish survives a galley with one oven: the catfish goes in cold and re-plates, the pork travels with its sauce apart.

Private jet platters for a Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers departure often mean regional produce: peaches and strawberries in season, Ozark apples in autumn, Arkansas rice, smoked trout and pork. Gourmet inflight meals are built around those local specialities, and private jet snacks, pecans, pimento cheese with crackers, fruit, ride in the drawer until the seatbelt sign goes off. The private jet menu and inflight menu stay Arkansas in character, cooked and packed for the aircraft.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (KXNA)

Northwest Arkansas National sits on a plateau at 1,287 ft, and weekday traffic here follows the corporate calendar of the region, which is why private jet catering at KXNA is built around quiet turnarounds and tight galleys. Inflight catering for a light jet and in-flight catering for a large cabin follow different briefs; aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering all start from the tail and the galley. For a diplomatic flight catering request or a delegation, the handling agent clears the plan first, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the rest.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (KXNA)

A typical XNA turnaround is a corporate jet in from the Bentonville and Rogers business corridor, or a charter flight catering request for a visitor heading home. For corporate jet catering at KXNA, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what that galley can hold, so business jet catering stays simple on a weekday trip. VIP flight catering for guests and luxury inflight catering for a large cabin follow the same brief, and inflight catering or in-flight catering for a light jet is simply cooked smaller and packed colder.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers (KXNA)

For a state visit aircraft catering order at KXNA, the plan goes through protocol first. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are traceable, sealed and discreet, and VIP aviation catering never carries a name on the label.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA)

For XNA, special meals start with the local kitchen: fried catfish and gravy hide gluten, dairy and shellfish cross-contact, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and packed separately, each with its own board and its own box. Kids meals are simple and mild, built from the same Arkansas produce. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and the dish follows.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA)

When the aircraft turns at KXNA, crew meals are what the crew will eat on the ground or in the seat. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals in crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots on request, as crew catering for the whole duty. Cockpit meals are kept separate from the cabin, ordered and invoiced like everything else.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Northwest Arkansas National Airport

Delivery at XNA goes to the FBO or the general aviation terminal: FBO catering is handed over there or at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are coordinated with your handling agent, and handling agent catering stays one phone call.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (KXNA)

Large cabins on the XNA ramp can need a high loader for galley catering and airside catering delivery; the handling agent decides what the aircraft door and the ramp allow. We plan aircraft provisioning around the type, the galley layout and the sealed trays, and we tell you what goes in the trolleys and what stays in the boxes.

About the airportKXNA / XNA

About Northwest Arkansas National Airport (KXNA): aviation catering and general aviation

XNA is the main airport for the Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers area, with a steady general aviation flow. Airport catering for private jets goes through FBO services and ground handling services, and the business aviation hub is the corporate corridor itself.

Business aviation

Inflight catering at XNA is mostly a corporate matter: aviation catering and business aviation catering for jets on weekday trips, executive jet catering for the boardroom, in-flight catering for visitors. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the rest.

Customs & food import

Flights from the US to abroad leave XNA through customs rules set by the arrival country. Fresh meat, dairy and produce can be restricted, so we pack with that in mind.

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“For 11 passengers departing from Northwest Arkansas National Airport, the agreed menu was fresh fruit and breakfast pastries; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the breakfast portions before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. For our team, the strongest part of their crew meals was how they handled crew briefing.”

“Keeping the galley organised at KXNA meant planning a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 8 guests with two separate meal services in mind. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the side dishes could be arranged during service. With FBO catering, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Keeping the fruit plates aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

“A request for a charcuterie board and fresh bread, 3 passengers, and a tight boarding window: that was our brief for the departure at XNA. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the airport catering arrangements. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the main courses clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the crew provisions listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

What crews ask before Fayetteville/Springdale/RogersAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Northwest Arkansas?+

Two aircraft out of KXNA, two quotes: a turboprop with no oven takes cold platters, a heavy jet takes a multi-course service. We build the quote on what the galley can hold.

What is the lead time for catering at Northwest Arkansas National?+

In an Arkansas winter, a delay can mean a second oven run; in July it means keeping things chilled. Either way, lead time is not rigid and last-minute orders are handled.

What about customs when a return leg is ordered from XNA?+

A return leg is where customs bites. Pork, cheese and fruit that leave XNA may need declaring or discarding on arrival abroad; we label the return boxes and keep them sealed.

Can you bring food on board yourself at XNA?+

You can, and at a night departure from KXNA many crews do, because the shops are shut. We keep personal food separate on the tray, so nothing of ours touches it.

Is catering part of a charter flying out of Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers?+

A private jet charter at Northwest Arkansas National does not include the menu; you order it separately. The handling agent controls the ramp, so we agree the access and the handover point with them.
