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

What Galveston brings to your in-flight catering (GLS)

Galveston is a Texas island city, and the private jet menu follows the water. Local specialities here are Gulf shrimp, blue crab, redfish and oysters, with pecans, key lime and Texas citrus for the end of the meal. A private jet menu for Galveston tends to lean on seafood that is cooked ahead and finished in the galley, which is why the inflight menu avoids anything that needs a fryer or a grill on board. Private jet food from the island works best when each component is packed apart: the shrimp in one tray, the sauce in its own pot, the greens chilled.

Texas shapes the private jet food at Galveston: brisket and sausage from the smokehouse side of the state, seafood from the Gulf side. On the island, each local speciality needs its own handling in the galley: smoked meats take the oven, boiled seafood stays cold, pralines ride at room temperature. Smoked meats re-plate cold or finish in the oven; boiled shrimp and crab salads stay chilled; pecan and key lime desserts hold their shape in the drawer. For Galveston, the private jet menu is a two-part conversation about what the crew can serve and what the island does best, and the inflight menu is cut to fit.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Scholes International At Galveston Airport (KGLS)

Scholes International At Galveston sits on a barrier island at six feet of elevation, where salt air and Gulf weather decide what travels well. Private jet catering at KGLS follows the same logic: Gulf shrimp, crab and citrus packed for the galley you actually have. Inflight catering here ranges from a chilled lunch for a light jet to cabin crew meals for a long leg back inland. Aviation catering on this field is handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent, and executive jet catering is written around the aircraft type.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Galveston (KGLS)

For Galveston, corporate flights often arrive from Houston-area or Gulf Coast bases with a modest cabin and a small galley. Business jet catering is cut accordingly: corporate jet catering with seafood cold, brisket warm, sauces apart. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering get the same careful labelling, luxury inflight catering is a quiet standard, and a private jet chef will draft a bespoke menu if the trip calls for one.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Galveston (KGLS)

At Galveston the crew often turns around on the ground for a short stay, and the meal has to fit. Crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced like any dish. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering share one rule: marked CREW. Cockpit meals travel in their own box, crew meal boxes are easy to open, and different meals for pilots are available if the captain and first officer should not eat the same. Cabin crew meals follow the same CREW marking, with one tray per seat in the same box.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Scholes International At Galveston Airport

Galveston's FBO is where the order changes hands. FBO catering is delivered to the general aviation terminal or to the aircraft, ground handling catering follows the field's rules for airside access, and catering delivery to the FBO is confirmed with your handling agent. Handling agent catering is the step where the food actually reaches the cabin.

About the airportKGLS / GLS

About Scholes International At Galveston Airport (GLS): airport catering for business aviation

Scholes International At Galveston is a general aviation field on the Texas Gulf Coast, with a single main purpose: business aircraft and the island's seasonal visitors. Airport catering here is simple in structure and varied in content.

Business aviation

Galveston's business aviation catering depends on season and aircraft: inflight catering is lighter in summer, in-flight catering heavier in winter when brisket and stews travel well. Aviation catering for executive jet catering orders is packed for a small oven, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals are labelled CREW. KGLS is a general aviation airport and a modest business aviation hub, with FBO services and ground handling services on the same ramp.

Customs & food import

Importing food into the United States is regulated: fresh meat, fruit and dairy from abroad may be held at customs. For catering at KGLS, plan second services locally and let your handling agent confirm what the officer will accept.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Clear quantities were essential at Scholes International At Galveston Airport: we had 9 passengers expecting a breakfast basket with individual preserves and were working around several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls labelled the sandwiches in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. With flight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. We could distinguish the desserts at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Camille Z. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“For 10 passengers departing from KGLS, the agreed menu was grilled salmon with a lemon dressing; our main consideration was a late menu amendment. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the flight catering services arrangements. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the salads had been grouped. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

Alexandre N. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“An order of a mezze selection with flatbreads for 6 people at GLS had to be organised around limited fridge space. For airline catering, that attention to galley preparation made the order noticeably easier to manage. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the fruit plates, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the sauces before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Ordering for KGLS, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when the handling agent controls airside access at Galveston?+

There is no hidden line for airside access: the handling agent's role in getting food to the aircraft at Galveston is part of the quote, next to the dishes. Seasonal seafood moves the total more than anything else.

What lead time should we plan for a short repositioning flight into Galveston with an empty cabin?+

When the aircraft comes to Galveston empty, what you need is usually minimal: a few meals for the flight deck, packed to eat with one hand. Last-minute requests are normal for this kind of flight.

What customs rules apply to food on a long leg with two services on board arriving in Galveston?+

For a transatlantic or long international leg into Galveston, leftover fresh food is typically discarded at arrival. Your handling agent can confirm what the officer will accept, and we pack the next service from local product.

Can you bring food from home when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Galveston?+

Bringing food is allowed, but late changes in passenger count make unlabelled dishes risky. We handle amendments for KGLS orders and reissue the seat plan so the galley stays organised.

Is catering part of a charter for a delegation or government flight into Galveston?+

Private jet charter pricing does not include catering. For a head of state or delegation arriving at Galveston, the order goes through protocol, then to the kitchen, then to the aircraft.
