Catering to your aircraft in Portland.
Troutdale is a small field on the Columbia side of Portland, with light jets, quick turns and Gorge weather. We pack for the galley you actually have, and hand it over at your FBO.
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.
Oregon eats from the river, the orchard and the forest floor, and a private jet menu for Portland Troutdale can draw on all three. Our inflight menu leans on local specialities: Columbia and Willamette salmon, Dungeness crab in season, Oregon hazelnuts, marionberries, Tillamook-style cheddar and Rogue Valley pears. For private jet food on a light jet, we pack the fish cold and skin-on trays chilled, with the sauce in its own pot. Private jet platters of Oregon cheese, cured meats and berries travel well in a compact galley, while gourmet inflight meals such as roasted salmon or wild mushroom risotto finish in the aircraft oven. Private jet snacks from the region include candied hazelnuts, dried cherries and berry bars. Portland's food scene is mushroom- and seafood-led, so chanterelle dishes appear when the season allows.
A private jet menu in Portland starts with what the Pacific Northwest does well. At Troutdale, our inflight menu follows the calendar: spring asparagus and razor clams, summer marionberries and blueberries, autumn chanterelles and pears, winter Dungeness crab. These are the local specialities we pack for private jet food in Oregon, each described by how it travels in the galley, cold, hot, sauce apart or sliced per seat. Private jet platters carry Oregon cheeses, smoked salmon and hazelnut crackers. Gourmet inflight meals include salmon with lentils or mushroom pasta. Private jet snacks cover hazelnut bars and dried fruit. We adjust each dish to the oven in your aircraft.

Gorge wind, a low-lying field and a general aviation terminal that handles mostly light and midsize aircraft: that is the rhythm at Portland Troutdale Airport. Private jet catering for KTTD follows it, with cold trays that wait well, hot dishes that finish in a small oven and sauces packed apart. We handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for charter and owner flights alike, as aviation catering delivered to the FBO. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all start from the same questions: tail, slot, headcount, restrictions. Cabin crew meals are available on request, commanded and billed with the order.
Corporate and executive flights into Troutdale tend to be short hops, so business jet catering favours dishes that need little finishing. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering at KTTD are built from what the aircraft can hold. For luxury inflight catering, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu using Oregon produce, matched to who sits where.
Government flight catering at Portland Troutdale is discreet and traceable. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow the protocol brief, with a named team and sealed packing. State visit aircraft catering for TTD is planned with your handling agent around access and security.
Portland's kitchens are used to dietary requests, so special meals are routine on a Troutdale order. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each handled as a procedure: a separate prep board and a sealed box, marked by seat number. Here, hazelnuts, shellfish and dairy are the allergens most often hiding in local dishes, and we flag them on the card before anything is packed.

Crew meals at Troutdale are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed for the jumpseat, one-handed and easy to eat on a short ground stop. Crew catering for KTTD covers cockpit meals in sealed crew meal boxes, and we offer different meals for pilots when the operator asks. Cabin crew meals can be added to the same list.
At Troutdale, catering delivery to the FBO goes through the general aviation terminal. FBO catering and ground handling catering are planned around the slot, and handling agent catering means one contact who receives the boxes and walks them to the aircraft.
Most traffic at Troutdale is light and midsize, so galley catering is usually carried aboard through the cabin door rather than with a high loader. If a larger aircraft arrives, airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the door height and galley layout of the type you give us.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Troutdale is a general aviation field on the Columbia side of the Portland area. Airport catering for KTTD serves owner flights and charters, with FBO services and ground handling services available on site.
Portland Troutdale works as a business aviation hub for smaller aircraft, where inflight catering and in-flight catering orders suit compact galleys. Aviation catering and business aviation catering here favour cold trays; executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are planned with your handling agent. If the pilots want cabin crew meals for the stop, name them on the order and they ride in the same boxes.
U.S. food-import rules apply when an aircraft lands at KTTD from another country: declare produce, meat and dairy, and expect inspection. We supply Oregon food on the ground so nothing needs to cross the border.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around an evening cabin service at Portland Troutdale Airport, I asked for chicken skewers with a couscous salad in portions appropriate for our 5 passengers. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the snack boxes to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the breakfast portions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. I want an inflight catering company to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Getting herb chicken with a quinoa salad ready for 12 guests at KTTD required an order that accounted for two separate meal services. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the snack boxes had been grouped. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience. The cabin team could match the fruit plates to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
“With an evening cabin service to consider at TTD, we needed a practical way to serve roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables to 7 passengers. This experience of in-flight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the starters before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
Think of the order as dishes, not a fixed rate: how many passengers, how many crew, and how long the crew will be waiting at TTD. Oregon seafood in season raises the cost; cheese, hazelnuts and orchard fruit keep it lower. The quote arrives before anything is cooked.
What matters is the slot and the stop, not a countdown. At TTD a quick turn favours cold trays and a pre-cooked hot dish; a longer stop allows a fuller service. Seasonal items like chanterelles or crab can need more planning, and last-minute orders are handled with substitutes.
A local product such as smoked Oregon salmon travels without trouble on U.S. domestic flights. For international trips, agricultural rules on meat, fish and fresh fruit can restrict what you carry out. Ask us before ordering and we choose items that clear easily.
Yes, you can bring food, but U.S. customs and agriculture rules are strict about fresh produce, meat, eggs and dairy arriving from abroad. On an international arrival at TTD, the crew declares what is on board, and prohibited items are removed. Ordering locally avoids the problem.
Not part of a charter. At Portland Troutdale the aircraft often has little more than a small oven and a drawer, so we shape the order to that galley. It is commanded and billed apart from the flight.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
