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

Portland on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at HIO

Oregon eats by the season, and a private jet menu from Portland Hillsboro should too. The Willamette Valley is Pinot Noir country, so the cheese board leans on Oregon blue and aged cheddar, and the fruit comes from valley farms: marionberries and blueberries in summer, Hood River pears and apples in autumn. Local specialities travel well when you plan the service: wild Pacific salmon is a cold-plate item, Dungeness crab is a winter private jet food that stays chilled, and Oregon hazelnuts turn up in tarts, salads and private jet snacks. Our private jet platters follow the same logic, built for the galley you actually have. Gourmet inflight meals from Portland are rarely heavy; guests heading east or to Asia ask for lighter plates and good coffee, and the inflight menu follows that. We write each Oregon menu around your aircraft and your passenger list.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Portland Hillsboro Airport (KHIO)

Hillsboro is a general aviation airport with no airline terminal, so everything arrives through the FBO and the handling agent. Private jet catering at KHIO means business aviation catering that suits tech executives and wine-country guests: salmon, hazelnuts, marionberries. For executive jet catering we adapt to the aircraft and its galley. In-flight catering for diplomatic flight catering requests runs through protocol first, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip, on request.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Portland Hillsboro Airport

Portland's kitchens are used to dietary requests, and Hillsboro orders arrive with them: vegan and gluten free are routine, and nut allergies matter more than usual in hazelnut country, where hazelnuts turn up in crusts, praline and granola. We cook allergen free dishes on separate boards and pack them in separate boxes, labelled by seat number. Kosher and halal orders are planned with the trip, sealed and delivered as supplied. Special meals and kids meals are written into the same order as the rest of the service.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Portland Hillsboro Airport (HIO)

On a turn at KHIO, the crew is the one that eats last. We pack crew meals on request, invoiced with the order, as flight crew meals in boxes that suit a jumpseat. Pilot meals are written so the captain and first officer receive different dishes when policy asks. Crew catering keeps cockpit meals apart from guest trays, and crew meal boxes carry clear labels. Different meals for pilots are standard, and cabin crew meals are packed too.

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Portland Hillsboro Airport (KHIO)

FBO catering at Portland Hillsboro means catering delivery to the FBO, where your crew or the handling agent meets us and takes the order to the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is the handover point, and ground handling catering is coordinated with the handling agent so airside access is cleared in advance. Handling agent catering follows the FBO's own rules.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Portland Hillsboro Airport (KHIO)

Hillsboro handles business jets of every size on its apron, from light jets to large-cabin aircraft, and the aircraft type decides how the load goes on. Smaller cabins take the galley catering through the main door; larger aircraft may need a high loader at the service door, arranged with your handling agent. We note the galley layout, oven count and drawer space before packing. Airside catering delivery follows the FBO's access rules, and aircraft provisioning is staged so ice, beverages and trays reach the galley in order.

About the airportKHIO / HIO

About Portland Hillsboro Airport (KHIO): aviation catering and general aviation

Portland Hillsboro is a general aviation airport in the Oregon wine country, west of the city, used heavily by corporate flights and flight training. Airport catering here is handled through the FBO and the handling agent, and general aviation traffic is mixed on the apron. FBO services and ground handling services cover the visiting crews.

Business aviation

Hillsboro works as a business aviation hub for the Oregon tech and wine corridor. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here reflect what executives want: light plates and quality coffee. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are written for each trip, executive jet catering suits larger cabins, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed apart.

Customs & food import

United States customs and food import rules apply to international arrivals at Hillsboro: meat, dairy and produce brought from abroad can be inspected or removed. For catering, this means keeping the cabin menu simple on inbound legs and planning disposal of unused food. Tell us the routing and we advise.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“The 12 passenger portions of mini sandwiches and individual desserts were the easy part; managing different crew meal preferences at KHIO took more planning. I would discuss private jet catering menu with them again, especially when portion planning needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of canapés with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. The quantities of crew provisions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Clear quantities were essential at HIO: we had 5 passengers expecting a charcuterie board and fresh bread and were working around a revised passenger count. Our brief for private aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sandwiches to be packed accordingly. Our colleague could take over the canapés without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“A request for a charcuterie board and fresh bread, 9 passengers, and limited fridge space: that was our brief for the departure at Portland Hillsboro Airport. The Galley Girls suggested shallow trays for the sandwiches, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. We placed the breakfast portions in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. My main takeaway from this business jet catering order was the practical approach to portion planning.”

Questions crews ask about PortlandAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Portland Hillsboro when the handling agent controls airside access?+

How much does private jet catering cost at Hillsboro? It depends on what you load. Our quote covers the food and the airside handover through your handling agent, whose access rules shape how we pack and stage the order. Oregon crab, salmon and hazelnut desserts price differently from simple cold platters, and we show the lines clearly.

Is there a lead time for catering when the aircraft repositions to Hillsboro with an empty cabin?+

Lead time at KHIO is shaped by what you order. A repositioning flight into Hillsboro with an empty cabin means the real order starts on the next leg, and we write it as soon as the passenger count settles. Simple cold plates are easy to place; seasonal crab or a special dietary request needs a bit more planning. We handle last-minute orders and tell you what is possible.

Do customs rules affect catering on a long leg from Portland Hillsboro with two services on board?+

Customs rules decide what happens to leftover catering when you land abroad. From Hillsboro on a long leg, we plan two services separately: one fully consumed, one reserved. Produce, meat and dairy have import limits in many countries, so we keep the cabin menu simple on international legs and keep packaging clear.

Can you bring food on board if the passenger count changes at the last minute at Hillsboro?+

Bringing your own food is the operator's call. Passengers at Hillsboro often arrive with coffee or a favourite snack, and the crew decides what goes on board. When the count changes late, we add or remove trays and keep dietary labels correct. Last-minute changes are part of the job.

Is catering part of a charter into Portland when a delegation or government flight is involved?+

Is catering part of a charter into Portland? No. A private jet charter covers the aircraft and crew; food is a separate order with its own invoice. For delegations and government flights, we add a protocol step before cooking, keep names off labels and use traceable sourcing.
