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

The Reading table, packed for private jet catering

Berks County cooks the way the Pennsylvania Dutch always have: pretzels baked in the region that invented the hard pretzel trade, pork and sauerkraut, chicken pot pie in its local form with square noodles, red beet eggs, chow-chow and shoofly pie. For a private jet menu at Reading, we take those local specialities and make them travel. The inflight menu keeps the sauces apart and the pastry dry, so private jet food from Pennsylvania still arrives as it should in the galley. Private jet platters carry the cold side, gourmet inflight meals carry the hot, and private jet snacks cover the crew between legs.

Reading is the outlet-shopping capital of Pennsylvania and sits in Dutch country, so passengers often ask for what they have just seen on the road. A private jet menu built for Pennsylvania starts with the soft pretzel, Lebanon bologna, scrapple at breakfast, and Amish-style roast chicken with its gravy packed separately. Our inflight menu turns these local specialities into private jet food that survives a drawer and an oven. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all draw on Berks County produce and bakers.

About the airportKRDG / RDG

About Reading Regional Airport (Carl A Spaatz Field): business aviation and airport catering

Reading Regional Airport, named for Carl A Spaatz, is a general aviation field in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Airport catering here is built around business jets and the small traffic they bring, with FBO services and ground handling services on a single compact ramp. The hub is modest, so a catering order is easy to track from kitchen to aircraft.

Business aviation

Reading is not a major business aviation hub, but the traffic is steady: inflight catering and in-flight catering for light jets, aviation catering for charter operators, and executive jet catering for local firms. Business aviation catering here works around fall foliage weekends and outlet-shopping crowds. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight.

Customs & food import

Food entering the United States on an international leg is inspected by customs: fresh meat, produce and unsealed dairy are often refused. For flights ending at Reading, we keep the outbound menu to domestic goods, so nothing is declared on departure. If you arrive with catering from abroad, expect it to be dealt with on landing.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“The cabin briefing at Reading Regional Airport (Carl A Spaatz Field) included 4 passenger meals, a request for a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides, and instructions addressing two separate meal services. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the salads to be packed accordingly. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Menu approval at KRDG covered fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 2 guests, leaving us to organise the service around different crew meal preferences. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the sauces had been grouped. With charter flight catering, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. We could account for the snack boxes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Rather than an elaborate service at RDG, our 3 guests wanted roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, organised sensibly around a late menu amendment. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the private jet food arrangements. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sandwiches, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The desserts were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Asked before every KRDG slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Reading Regional?+

Cost here follows how long your crew will be on the ground. A same-day turn at KRDG means a light order of platters and crew meals; an overnight stay under duty-time limits means breakfast boxes as well. The menu you choose, not the airport, sets the figure, and your quote reflects that.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at KRDG?+

The slot decides it. Reading has few movements, so your handover window is easy to hold, and the turnaround tells us whether to pack for the oven or for cold re-plating. Last-minute orders are handled any hour.

Are there customs rules for catering at Reading Regional?+

Reading's regional specialities are domestic, so customs plays no part in loading them. If you arrive from abroad with leftover catering, that food is dealt with on landing, separately from what we supply.

Can you bring food to a private jet at Reading, or must it be ordered?+

Customs rules in the US decide this: personal food from abroad is inspected, and meat, eggs and produce are often refused. Order from us at KRDG and the menu is built for the aircraft, with allergens marked.

Is catering part of a charter into Reading?+

No: the food is its own order. A private jet charter booked for Reading leaves the galley empty unless you ask us, and the aircraft size sets how many trays and boxes fit.
