Catering to your aircraft in Roswell.
At 3,671 ft in the New Mexico desert, Roswell Air Center is a quiet field for business aircraft. We pack crew meals and passenger dishes for your galley and hand them over at the aircraft through 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.
Roswell sits in southeastern New Mexico, and the private jet menu here leans on the state's own cooking. Green chile is the obvious anchor: roasted chile in a stew, folded into cheese, or served as a sauce that travels in its own pot. An inflight menu built around it keeps the heat adjustable, because not every passenger wants it at full strength.
Local specialities from New Mexico include blue corn, posole, sopaipillas with honey and the red-or-green question that every table answers differently. For private jet food, each is packed the way a galley can actually handle it: stews in sealed trays for the oven, tortillas wrapped, sopaipillas finished warm and kept dry.
Pecans and pinto beans are Roswell-region staples, and they work well on a cold board. Dairy is a real part of the area's farming, so cheeses and cream sauces appear on request. For a crew landing at KROW, the Roswell menu is simply a short list of dishes that pack well and re-plate cleanly.

Roswell Air Center sits at 3,671 ft in the New Mexico desert, and that altitude shapes how a galley behaves on a hot afternoon. Private jet catering at KROW is built around it: chilled platters that hold in a drawer, hot dishes that finish in your oven, and sauces packed apart. The same applies to inflight catering for a crew passing through, and to in-flight catering for a long leg out. Aviation catering here runs through your FBO and handling agent, from business aviation catering for corporate trips to executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official movements and cabin crew meals for the people working the trip.
Business jet catering at Roswell Air Center is usually a short brief: a corporate jet catering order for four or six, a charter flight catering request, a VIP flight catering order for a guest with firm preferences. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley and the New Mexico table, from green chile dishes to cold platters, and luxury inflight catering here means dishes that re-plate cleanly, not elaborate ones.
State visit aircraft catering at KROW is an order like no other: protocol decides the menu, security decides who handles it. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are packed, sealed and handed over at the aircraft, and VIP aviation catering is kept discreet at every step.
At Roswell the local bread and tortillas are wheat, and flour sneaks into stews and sauces, so a gluten-free order here is a procedure rather than a note on the label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free dishes are cooked and sealed separately, marked by seat number, and handed over with the rest. Special meals and kids meals follow the same rule: tell us who is on board and what they cannot eat, and the card travels with the box.
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.
When you land at KROW, crew meals are part of what we pack on request, and billed as a normal line. Flight crew meals can be boxed or plated; pilot meals and cockpit meals are kept apart from the passenger trays, and different meals for pilots can be arranged so the captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and cabin crew meals are added to the order if you ask.
FBO catering at Roswell: we hand the order to your handling agent, and catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering is a matter of slot and door: where the truck parks, who opens the gate, who carries the box. Handling agent catering at KROW is simply a short chain of people who know the field.
Galley catering at KROW depends on the aircraft: a light jet on the apron is loaded by hand, while a larger cabin may need the FBO to bring a high loader. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the door height and the galley layout you give us. Tell us the type and we will pack accordingly.

Airport catering at Roswell Air Center serves a general aviation field with long runways, a small terminal and a desert horizon. It sits in southeastern New Mexico and handles business jets, charter traffic and the occasional large aircraft.
General aviation at KROW means FBO services, ground handling services and a field that welcomes visiting jets. It is a modest business aviation hub for the region; inflight catering and in-flight catering orders, aviation catering for business aviation catering trips, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all pass through the same FBO.
Food entering the United States at KROW from an international flight falls under agricultural inspection, so plan for leftovers accordingly. For domestic departures, catering loaded in Roswell has no special customs steps; ask your handling agent if the next leg crosses a border.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The 8 passenger portions of herb chicken with a quinoa salad were the easy part; managing an evening cabin service at KROW took more planning. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the crew meals arrangements. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the salads clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of main courses matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
“I wanted a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 11 guests at ROW, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with different crew meal preferences. I appreciated the emphasis on crew briefing throughout the FBO catering arrangements. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the snack boxes before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The desserts went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at Roswell Air Center Airport: a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 7 guests, organised with several individual meal preferences in mind. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the salads to arrive in sealed meal containers. Separating the snack boxes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. I would discuss airport catering with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination.”
Ask three crews what they spend at ROW and you will get three numbers. Menu choice, passenger count and special meals drive the price of private jet catering; airside access through the handling agent adds its own line. Send the aircraft type and we will quote it.
The lead time question at Roswell mostly comes down to produce and customs. Domestic orders are straightforward, and last-minute requests are handled. The earlier we have the headcount and the dietary notes, the cleaner the packing.
Customs questions come up on international legs, not on loading in New Mexico. Two services on board for a long sector means more fresh food on the aircraft, and US rules govern what can stay when you land. Ask your handling agent before you plan leftovers.
Food from outside is fine in principle; it just has no seat numbers. At KROW, a late change in passenger count means someone has to decide who eats what, and that is easier with a labelled order from us than with a mixed bag.
No, catering is not part of a private jet charter at Roswell. Government and delegation flights follow the same rule: separate order, separate invoice, delivered plane-side.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
