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

What Salem brings to your in-flight catering (SLE)

Oregon's Willamette Valley is one of the most productive food regions on the West Coast, and a private jet menu for Salem can lean on it without trying hard. Hazelnuts from the valley orchards go into crusts, praline and salad toppings. Marionberries and blueberries ripen in summer and travel well as compotes or tarts. Pinot noir and pinot gris from the surrounding vineyards sit beside the Dungeness crab and wild salmon that arrive from the coast.

Our local specialities are chosen for how they behave in a galley. Crab cakes are packed cold with their remoulade apart; salmon is portioned for the oven; hazelnut-crusted dishes keep their texture if the crust is finished at service. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all draw on the same Oregon pantry, so an inflight menu for {Region} reads like the valley it departs from. Tell us the season and the headcount and we build the private jet food around what is actually good in Oregon that week.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field (KSLE)

McNary Field sits at 214 feet in the Willamette Valley, where a flight into Salem usually means orchards, vineyards and the state capitol rather than a connection. Private jet catering here is built on that valley: Oregon hazelnuts, Dungeness crab and Willamette pinot, packed by former VIP flight attendants. We also supply inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for business aviation catering requests, executive jet catering trips, diplomatic flight catering for capitol visits, and cabin crew meals when the crew asks for them.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field for VIP flights

Business jet catering at KSLE is usually a modest brief: a midsize cabin, six guests, a lunch before they head to the valley. Corporate jet catering here can be as simple as a cold hazelnut-and-cheese lunch or as full as a private jet chef plating pinot-braised short rib. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method, and luxury inflight catering at Salem is a bespoke menu built around Oregon produce.

Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow protocol: menus cleared before cooking, a named team, and discretion in every step. State visit aircraft catering at Salem is prepared with the same care as any other order.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field

Special meals at Salem start with the valley's own allergens: hazelnuts and tree nuts turn up in crusts, pralines and salads here, so nut-free and allergen free plates are prepared and packed on separate boards and sealed apart from guest trays. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are built from the same Oregon produce and labelled by seat, with each dish adapted rather than substituted.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field

Crew catering at Salem is something you add to the order, not something assumed: crew meals are invoiced like every other line. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed so the captain and first officer need not share a dish, with different meals for pilots when policy asks for it. Cockpit meals go in crew meal boxes marked CREW, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart from the guest service.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field

FBO catering at Salem means the order is handed over at the FBO on your slot, through your handling agent. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal at KSLE is coordinated with ground handling catering staff, so the right person opens the right door. We work with your handling agent catering contact and not around them.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field (SLE)

The aircraft type decides how a galley order reaches the cabin at McNary Field. Light and midsize jets take trays and cases by hand through the door; a larger cabin may call for a high loader, which your handling agent arranges. We ask for the type so the galley catering fits the ovens and drawers on board, and we pack for airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning with that in mind.

About the airportKSLE / SLE

About Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field (SLE): airport catering for business aviation

McNary Field is the airport for Oregon's capital city, set at 214 feet in the Willamette Valley. Airport catering here serves a general aviation mix: corporate flights, state business and visitors heading to wine country. FBO services and ground handling services are on the field, and the airport suits charter and executive traffic.

Business aviation

Salem works as a quiet business aviation hub for the valley. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders are mostly for corporate groups and legislative visitors, while aviation catering and business aviation catering requests rise with harvest season and wine-country weekends. Executive jet catering suits a short hop to the coast, diplomatic flight catering covers official visits to the capital, and cabin crew meals are added when asked.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from abroad are cleared under US customs rules, and food loaded elsewhere may be declared and removed. Domestic arrivals have no such constraint at Salem. We plan the order around the aircraft's origin so fresh catering for the onward leg is ready.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Packing mushroom risotto and a green salad for 5 passengers at SLE needed careful thought, especially given a small galley worktop. For our team, the strongest part of their flight catering services was how they handled cabin service sequence. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the fruit plates to be packed accordingly. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Small packing details became important at Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field: our 6 passengers wanted mini sandwiches and individual desserts, and we had an evening cabin service. I needed the sandwiches checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The note about the canapés was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the airline catering arrangements.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Good preparation made the difference at KSLE, where 4 guests expected a mezze selection with flatbreads despite a tight boarding window. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in separate meal boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the sandwiches ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. I would discuss crew meals with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination.”

Questions crews ask about SalemAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a Salem flight with Oregon hazelnut dishes?+

Local products set the price here. Hazelnuts and berries from the Willamette Valley are modest; crab and wild salmon are not. A Salem order built around valley produce is quoted per menu, so asking for the hazelnut-crusted fish rather than a platter of crab changes the figure in a way you can see on the quote.

What is the lead time for private jet catering into Salem, given US food import rules?+

When a flight comes in from outside the US, customs rules on meat, dairy and fruit already aboard shape what can stay in the galley, and we write the Salem order to replace it. Domestic arrivals have no such constraint. Either way, last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs rules mean for catering when a business jet with a small galley lands at Salem?+

Customs treats food that crossed the border differently from food loaded in Oregon. A midsize aircraft with a modest galley will often have its remaining fresh items taken at the gate, and the new order we load here is the clean replacement. We size trays to the aircraft type you tell us.

Can you bring food on board at Salem when the weather window decides departures?+

Passengers can carry food aboard; what matters is how long the wait might be. When the valley socks in and a departure slides, chilled dishes in our packing stay safe while loose items from home may not. We pack galley-ready, so the crew has options if the weather window moves.

Is catering part of a charter into Salem when we want a return leg ordered for the way back?+

No, and that includes the return. A Salem charter price does not cover catering, so the outbound and return orders are each requested and invoiced on their own. We can order the return menu from here while you are still on the ground, so the second leg is covered.
