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

Decatur on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at DCU

North Alabama cooks with the Tennessee Valley around it: catfish, cornmeal, pecans, sweet potatoes, peaches in summer and Alabama white sauce on smoked chicken. For a private jet menu out of Decatur, that becomes an inflight menu that survives a galley drawer. Private jet food from this part of Alabama leans on things that hold: pimento cheese, smoked turkey, deviled eggs, pecan-crusted chicken, banana pudding in a sealed cup. Gourmet inflight meals from Decatur keep their local specialities recognisable, and private jet platters of ham biscuits and cold fried chicken travel well. Private jet snacks are boiled peanuts, candied pecans and cheese straws. Alabama is a state where a plate has to taste like somewhere, and local specialities are the point of ordering here.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Pryor Field Regional Airport (DCU)

Business jet catering at Pryor Field Regional follows the working week: engineers and executives flying in and out of north Alabama, usually on a light or midsize jet with a compact galley. Corporate jet catering here is mostly a hot main plus cold sides, and VIP flight catering means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around the seats. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering get the same treatment, with a phone call to settle the details.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Pryor Field Regional Airport

Southern kitchens hide allergens in plain sight: butter in the grits, shellfish stock in the gumbo, pecans and peanuts in half the desserts, wheat in every roux. Special meals for Decatur are handled as a procedure: we ask for the seat, the restriction and the aircraft, then pack kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals separately and mark them by seat number. A nut-free guest gets a plate cooked away from the pecan station, not a plate with the pecans removed.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Decatur (DCU)

When the crew waits on the ground at KDCU, a proper meal beats a snack. Crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals come on request and are billed like any item. Crew catering for a long duty day, cockpit meals in sealed boxes, crew meal boxes with the seat marked CREW, and different meals for pilots when policy requires it, all go on the same order as the guest menu.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Pryor Field Regional Airport (KDCU)

At Pryor Field Regional there is one general aviation terminal and one ramp. FBO catering and ground handling catering are delivered to the FBO, then taken airside by your handling agent. Catering delivery to the aircraft is agreed in advance, and handling agent catering is confirmed with the tail and the slot.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Pryor Field Regional Airport

Pryor Field Regional sees mostly light and midsize jets and turboprops, so galley catering usually travels by cart or in boxes up the airstair. When a larger cabin arrives, tell us the type and we plan the load around the aircraft door and the galley. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO and your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning for a heavier jet at KDCU is planned before the slot, with a high loader requested through the handler only if the door needs it.

About the airportKDCU / DCU

Aviation catering and business aviation at Pryor Field Regional Airport (DCU)

KDCU, at 592 ft above sea level, is the main general aviation field for Decatur, Alabama. Airport catering, FBO services and ground handling services are straightforward: one terminal, one ramp and a handling agent who knows the local flight crews.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at KDCU follow the pattern of north Alabama business aviation: short legs, small cabins, repeat customers. Aviation catering and business aviation catering sit alongside executive jet catering for owner-operators, diplomatic flight catering for the occasional delegation, and cabin crew meals for the flight attendants. This business aviation hub is small but active, and its general aviation traffic is steady through the week.

Customs & food import

International arrivals into the United States are cleared on arrival, and food import is regulated: fresh meat, dairy and fruit from abroad are restricted, and anything undeclared can be taken. For Decatur, catering prepared locally is not affected, so the order is built around what stays on board and what can be cleared.

ReviewsFrom the crews we cater for

4.3 / 5

★★★★☆

Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.

Leave a review

★★★★☆LIGHT JET

“Small packing details became important at DCU: our 4 passengers wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and we had a tight boarding window. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the salads were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. My main takeaway from this charter flight catering order was the practical approach to galley preparation.”

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“An order of roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 11 people at Pryor Field Regional Airport had to be organised around a small galley worktop. We changed the quantities of starters, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the canapés against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet food was how they handled packing arrangement.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“I wanted vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 6 guests at KDCU, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with limited fridge space. The starters from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. My main takeaway from this private jet meals order was the practical approach to written menu details. The snack boxes were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”

What crews ask before DecaturAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg out of Decatur with two services on board?+

Start with the legs: two services mean two plating moments, so we pack the first hot and the second cold. How much does private jet catering cost at KDCU then follows the dishes, a catfish main priced differently from a barbecue platter, with crew meals added on request.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Pryor Field Regional when the passenger count changes late?+

What makes ordering easy here is a short list of seasonal products and a single FBO handover. If your headcount shifts, send it by phone or email and the menu follows. Last-minute orders are handled.

Customs: what applies to catering on a delegation or government flight at Decatur?+

For state or delegation flights at Pryor Field Regional, the sensitive part is traceability: who prepared what, packed when, sealed how. Customs only matters when food arrives from abroad, and we plan the on-board menu with that in mind.

Can you bring food of your own to a kosher, halal, allergen or child meal request at Decatur?+

Bringing your own food on board is possible, though it removes our traceability. For a special-meal request at Pryor Field Regional, we prefer to prepare it ourselves, labelled by seat, with allergens kept off shared surfaces.

Is catering part of a charter into Decatur when the crew waits on the ground?+

Is catering part of a charter into Decatur? No: it sits outside the charter and is invoiced separately. For a waiting crew, tell us the duty time and we pack meals that hold.
