Catering to your aircraft in Perry.
Perry's apron fills when Iowa business travels, and the crew needs a plan for the galley. We pack Iowa pork, sweet corn and crew meals, ready for the FBO or your handling agent at KPRO.
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.
Iowa is pork, corn, and soy country, and a private jet menu out of Perry reads that way. Local specialities travel well in a galley: a pork tenderloin that is breaded and fried on the ground, then re-plated cold or finished in the oven, sweet corn in season served as a chilled salad, and apple pie from Iowa orchards cut by the passenger.
Private jet food built around Iowa starts with the animals and crops of the region. Our inflight menu for Perry uses the corn-belt larder: Iowa pork loin sliced thin, sweet corn fritters, and Dutch-style baking. Private jet platters of cheese from Iowa dairies and charcuterie sit beside gourmet inflight meals that are packed to be finished by the flight attendant. Private jet snacks lean on popcorn, pretzels and apple slices, because Iowa is home to all of them.

Farm trucks and combine season set the pace around Perry, Iowa, and a trip into KPRO often runs on harvest-week or ag-business schedules. Private jet catering for PRO draws on that: Iowa pork, sweet corn, Amish-style baking. We supply inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering to the aircraft through the FBO, from business aviation catering for corporate teams to executive jet catering for small cabins, plus diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals when a flight needs them.
Perry sees corporate teams, farm-sector executives and charter groups, and the business jet catering order follows them. Corporate jet catering for Perry stays simple: a bespoke menu written by a private jet chef, VIP flight catering for a client meeting, charter flight catering for a weekend group, and luxury inflight catering with Iowa ingredients.
Government flight catering at Perry follows protocol: the menu is cleared first, then cooked. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are rare at KPRO but treated with full discretion, with a named contact and traceable sourcing for state visit aircraft catering.
Special meals at Perry follow the same procedure as everywhere: a separate board, a separate box, a seat number on the lid. In Iowa the allergen to watch for is hidden pork fat and shared fryer oil in classic local dishes, plus wheat in breading. Kosher and halal orders are arranged ahead, and vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are packed sealed so the crew serves them without opening anything twice.
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.
For the people flying the aircraft, we make crew meals that hold: flight crew meals in boxes marked CREW, pilot meals that need no cutlery trick, and cockpit meals that tolerate a delayed departure. Crew catering is on request at KPRO; crew meal boxes are packed so different meals for pilots stay separate.
FBO catering at Perry is handed to the FBO or your handling agent, airside. Catering delivery to the FBO means someone meets the aircraft, and ground handling catering is arranged through the general aviation terminal. Handling agent catering is coordinated by us before arrival.
Perry Municipal handles light and mid-size business aircraft, and the aircraft type decides how provisioning runs. For a smaller cabin the galley catering goes up by hand at the door; for a larger aircraft with a high sill, airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning use a high loader arranged with the handling agent. Tell us the type and we pack to the galley you have.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Perry Municipal Airport sits in Dallas County, Iowa, a general aviation field that works for local business and farm-sector travel. Airport catering here suits small and mid-size aircraft with a clear crew need, and the FBO services and ground handling services at KPRO decide where the galley handover happens.
Perry is a quiet business aviation hub in central Iowa, busiest around harvest and ag-business meetings. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for PRO match that traffic, with aviation catering and business aviation catering for day trips and executive jet catering for small cabins. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible. Cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered on request, and we coordinate with the FBO services and ground handling services on the field.
A flight arriving from abroad clears customs at its first US port of entry, not at Perry, and US agricultural rules hold back foreign meat, fresh produce and dairy. What we supply at KPRO is bought in Iowa, so the order never waits on import clearance, and the FBO services and ground handling services only receive it airside.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“For 11 passengers departing from Perry Municipal Airport, the agreed menu was smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit; our main consideration was a small galley worktop. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sauces clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the starters to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”
“Getting mini sandwiches and individual desserts ready for 10 guests at KPRO required an order that accounted for an evening cabin service. After a final adjustment to the canapés, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the fruit plates against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. With in-flight catering services, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Nothing about the 11 guest order at PRO called for excess complexity: just vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection and sensible planning for limited fridge space. I asked The Galley Girls for the side dishes in stackable containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering. The fruit plates stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”
Start with how many mouths and how many courses. For a transcontinental leg out of PRO with two services, the hot plates (Iowa pork, say) are the main cost, and the second service of cheese and fruit adds only a little. Cheaper seasonal produce like sweet corn or apples brings the total down; imported berries in January push it up.
Late changes are normal on corporate trips into central Iowa. We pack in a way that scales: individual boxes and sealed trays rather than shared bowls, so a seat added or removed is a small change. Last-minute orders are handled.
A government or delegation flight from abroad into Perry clears customs wherever it first lands in the United States, and food on board is subject to US agricultural import rules: meat, fresh fruit and dairy from abroad can be held. Catering we supply at KPRO is bought in Iowa, so it carries no import issue, and diplomatic flight catering follows protocol cleared before cooking.
Customers can supply their own, and we respect that. For a special-meal request at KPRO we recommend sending us the restriction and letting us prepare it in a clean area, packed per seat and marked by restriction.
The charter covers the aircraft, not the food. For a crew held at PRO on a long duty day, we pack crew meal boxes that hold, so they eat when the schedule allows, ordered separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
