Catering to your aircraft in San Marcos.

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 San Marcos table, packed for private jet catering

Texas Hill Country food travels well if you pick the right pieces, and that is how we write a private jet menu for San Marcos. The inflight menu leans on smoked brisket sliced across the grain, sausage from the Central Texas smokehouses, and peach and pecan in season; local specialities that hold on a plate after the galley oven. Private jet food here also means flour tortillas, queso kept apart, and pico de gallo in its own pot. Private jet platters of Texas barbecue, gourmet inflight meals built on Gulf shrimp, and private jet snacks such as kolaches and roasted pecans round out the San Marcos table, each packed for the aircraft you fly.

For a Texas stop, a private jet menu from San Marcos starts with the barbecue pit and the Hill Country farm stand. Our inflight menu names the local specialities as they behave in a galley: brisket that reheats in the oven, pimento cheese kept cold, grilled corn and a sauce on the side. Private jet food from San Marcos suits a short turnaround because most of it is built to finish simply. We pack private jet platters for the cabin, gourmet inflight meals for a long leg, and private jet snacks of pecans, jerky and kolaches, all drawn from Texas.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at San Marcos Regional Airport (KHYI)

San Marcos Regional sits on the Texas I-35 corridor, a field where light jets and turboprops park a few steps from the general aviation terminal. Private jet catering here follows the Hill Country table: smoked meats, tortillas, peaches in season, all packed for the galley you actually fly. We add inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering built by former VIP flight attendants, covering business aviation catering and executive jet catering, plus diplomatic flight catering when a protocol office asks, and cabin crew meals boxed separately for the flight deck.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at San Marcos Regional Airport (KHYI)

At San Marcos, business jet catering usually means a small cabin, a short ground time and a galley with a drawer and perhaps an oven. Corporate jet catering here covers executive trips along the Austin and San Antonio corridor, VIP flight catering for guests who expect Texas barbecue done properly, and charter flight catering for groups arriving on a slot. Luxury inflight catering is a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around what survives the galley.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at San Marcos Regional Airport

At KHYI the galley is handed over at the aircraft, through the door your handling agent opens on the ramp. FBO catering is booked against your slot, and catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with the people who run the general aviation terminal. Because ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow ramp access rules, the order is passed over once the aircraft is parked, not before. A light jet takes its boxes by hand, so there is little to coordinate beyond the slot and the stairs.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at San Marcos Regional Airport

A light jet or turboprop at KHYI usually loads through the cabin door, so galley catering is packed in carts and boxes sized for the stairs. If a larger aircraft arrives for an event weekend, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent for a high loader, and aircraft provisioning is planned around that door and the galley layout.

About the airportKHYI

General aviation and airport catering at San Marcos Regional Airport (KHYI)

Also listed as HYI.

San Marcos Regional is a general aviation field on the I-35 corridor in Texas, serving business aircraft heading into the Hill Country. It works as a small business aviation hub, with FBO services and ground handling services that suit light jets and turboprops. Airport catering here supports corporate and private flights through the FBO and the general aviation terminal.

Business aviation

Traffic at San Marcos peaks around Texas race weekends and university events, when inflight catering and in-flight catering orders climb. As a business aviation hub, the field sees aviation catering and business aviation catering fill the same slots as executive jet catering, with diplomatic flight catering on request. Cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the trip, and the FBO services on the field keep the handover simple.

Customs & food import

United States customs controls food imports tightly, and foreign galley leftovers are often discarded at the border. Ordering locally for KHYI means the aircraft stays compliant, whichever of the ground handling services on the field meets you. That is why a Texas stop is usually restocked here rather than carried in.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 2 passenger portions of a cold lunch with cheese and fruit were the easy part; managing a changing departure schedule at San Marcos Regional Airport took more planning. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about vip inflight catering. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the fruit plates, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. It was useful to see the side dishes listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Passenger preferences led us to roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables at San Marcos Regional Airport; 7 portions were needed, with limited fridge space factored into preparation. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet catering was how they handled cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls grouped the sauces by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

Imran C. | Royal family manager

★★★★★CHARTER

“An order of herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 11 people at KHYI had to be organised around several individual meal preferences. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the snack boxes could be arranged during service. The main courses stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the private jet catering services arrangements.”

Asked before every KHYI slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when the turnaround at San Marcos Regional is short?+

The slot shapes the order more than anything. A morning departure suits light cold boxes, which cost less than an evening leg with a hot plate and sauce apart. How much private jet catering costs also moves with the menu you pick and the headcount.

What is the lead time for a San Marcos order built around Texas peaches or pecans?+

A peach and pecan tart is one of the easiest things to arrange here, so lead time stays workable on a menu built around it. Last-minute orders at KHYI are handled; send the tail, the slot and the headcount.

What do customs rules mean for catering into San Marcos from abroad?+

United States customs and agriculture rules govern food entering the country, and foreign galley leftovers are often discarded. Ordering locally for KHYI avoids that and keeps provisioning simple.

Can you bring food on board a light jet at San Marcos, or does the galley decide?+

The galley sets the limit. Light jets are common at KHYI, so cold dishes and simple hot plates fit best, and personal food can be carried too. Tell us the type and what the galley has.

Is catering part of a charter into San Marcos when Texas storms disrupt departures?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter; you order it separately and it is invoiced separately. When weather moves a departure at KHYI, send the new slot and we meet the aircraft.
