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

Regional dishes of Everett for jet catering at PAE

Washington's table is built on cold water and short growing seasons, which suits a private jet menu well. For an inflight menu out of Everett we lean on Dungeness crab, Pacific salmon, Olympia oysters, Skagit Valley vegetables and Yakima Valley fruit, all part of the local specialities the region is known for. Private jet food from Washington travels best when it is built for the galley: crab salad that stays chilled, salmon that finishes in the oven, cherries and apples that need no prep at all. Private jet platters of smoked salmon with rye and cream cheese work for a morning departure from Paine Field, and gourmet inflight meals such as cedar-plank salmon with roasted fingerlings suit a longer leg. Private jet snacks are simple here: marionberries, hazelnuts from the Willamette side, and Rainier cherries in June and July. Everett's damp air also means we pack crisp items sealed and apart, so a cracker or a pastry still snaps when you open the drawer.

Everett looks out to Puget Sound, and Washington's local specialities follow the water and the orchards. A private jet menu for KPAE can open with Dungeness crab cakes and move to cedar-plank salmon, with Skagit Valley greens on the side and Yakima cherries to finish. Private jet food from the region is seasonal: Rainier cherries in early summer, apples and pears from autumn, wild mushrooms after the rains. We build the inflight menu around what travels: private jet platters of smoked salmon, local cheeses and rye, gourmet inflight meals that finish in your oven, and private jet snacks like hazelnuts and dried cherries. Coffee is a Seattle matter, so beans and a proper pour are packed alongside, never as an afterthought. Anything delicate leaves the kitchen chilled and labelled by seat, ready for you to re-plate.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (KPAE)

Paine Field sits beside the Boeing Everett factory, so a business jet here often shares the apron with a 777X on a test card. Private jet catering at KPAE is built around that mix: Pacific Northwest seafood, a damp climate that changes how food travels, and galley packing sized to the aircraft you fly. Inflight catering for Everett departures is cooked, packed and labelled for your galley, in-flight catering that you re-plate from the drawer. Aviation catering here also covers business aviation catering for tech and aerospace clients, executive jet catering for short regional hops, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations, and cabin crew meals boxed separately from guest trays.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE)

Business jet catering at KPAE usually means a short brief: a corporate jet carrying aerospace or tech clients to Boeing, Vancouver or the islands. Corporate jet catering here favours salmon, crab and Skagit greens, with VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering for senior guests. Charter flight catering uses the same cards; a private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around a guest's preferences, and we pack it for your galley's oven.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE)

Government flight catering at Paine Field is quiet work: protocol office first, then the kitchen. Head of state flight catering means a cleared menu, traceable ingredients and a named team. VIP aviation catering for state visit aircraft catering follows the same rule, with discretion over names and a single sealed handover at the aircraft.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Seattle Paine Field International Airport

Everett's menus lean on seafood, dairy and tree nuts, so that is where we look first for hidden allergens: shellfish in a chowder base, hazelnut in a pastry, wheat in a smoked-salmon cracker. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals are cooked and packed on a separate board in a sealed box, then marked by seat. Kids meals follow the same card system, so the child's plate never mixes with an adult tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Seattle Paine Field International Airport

On request, we pack crew meals for your Everett departure and bill them with the order. Flight crew meals go in crew meal boxes marked CREW. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are built to be eaten on the flight deck, with different meals for pilots so captain and first officer do not share a dish. Crew catering stays apart from guest trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE): delivery to your aircraft

At Paine Field the order reaches the aircraft through your FBO. FBO catering is sealed and labelled, catering delivery to the general aviation terminal happens on your slot, and ground handling catering is agreed in advance with your handling agent. Handling agent catering means one name on the paperwork and one handover on the ramp.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (KPAE)

Paine Field handles everything from light jets to wide-bodies built next door, so galley catering here depends on the aircraft in front of you. A Gulfstream or Global takes boxes through the main door with no equipment, while a heavier type may need a high loader for airside catering delivery at the cabin door height. Tell us the type and we plan the aircraft provisioning to fit its galley, ovens and storage. On a wet Everett ramp, trays travel closed and dry until they reach the aircraft.

About the airportKPAE / PAE

Airport catering at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (KPAE)

Paine Field is a general aviation airport and a factory airport at once: the Boeing Everett plant borders the runways, and business aircraft share the apron with wide-bodies on test cards. Airport catering at KPAE is shaped by that mix, along with a wet climate, a quiet general aviation terminal, and FBO services and ground handling services that cope with light jets and heavy aircraft on the same morning.

Business aviation

On days when the Boeing line sends visitors in, KPAE behaves like a business aviation hub. Inflight catering and in-flight catering serve the corporate crews, while aviation catering and business aviation catering are coordinated through the FBO and its ground handling services. Executive jet catering suits short regional hops, diplomatic flight catering covers visiting delegations, and cabin crew meals, like all crew meals, travel in a box of their own.

Customs & food import

For an outbound flight, the United States treats loaded food as a domestic matter, so catering at KPAE needs no import paperwork. Customs and Border Protection looks at food coming back from abroad: fresh produce and meat should be declared or left on board. Your handling agent takes care of those customs formalities at Everett, and ground handling services at the field are used to the routine.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Before our guests boarded at KPAE, we needed a selection of petits fours and sandwiches divided into 9 portions suitable for a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The side dishes were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. The meal organisation stood out more than any sales pitch about vip inflight catering.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“My order at PAE covered herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 9 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of limited fridge space. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the starters, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. Our brief for private jet catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover. It was useful to see the breakfast portions listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

Nicole I. | Royal family manager

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“One detail shaped our order at Seattle Paine Field International Airport: a small galley worktop, alongside a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 2 passengers. My main takeaway from this private jet catering services order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the fruit plates, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. I found the salads without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

Asked before every KPAE slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight out of Paine Field?+

A ferry flight to KPAE with no passengers is the cheapest kind of order: crew boxes, water, coffee. Passenger service with a seafood menu is the opposite end. Tell us which one you are flying and we quote private jet catering per menu, billed as a separate line from your charter.

What is the lead time for a private jet catering order at Everett, with two services on a long leg?+

For a long transpacific or transatlantic leg out of Everett, the lead time question is really about the brief. Salmon and crab are available year-round, which keeps ordering simple; last-minute orders are handled, with the second service packed cold and marked for later.

What are the customs rules for catering at Paine Field when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

US Customs and Border Protection cares most about what comes in, not what goes out. If the passenger count changes before a KPAE departure, we change the quantities and send an updated list to your handling agent; fresh fruit and meat returning from abroad should be declared.

Can you bring food on board for a delegation or government flight from Paine Field?+

Technically yes, but officials on state flights tend to say no. Government flight catering from Everett is built on traceability and discretion, and a sealed order with a named team satisfies both. Tell us what the delegation can and cannot eat.

Is catering part of a charter into Everett if a passenger needs a kosher or allergen-free meal?+

A kosher or allergen-free meal is an order of its own, whatever your charter agreement says. For Paine Field departures we confirm the restriction, prepare it apart from other dishes, and invoice it separately from the aircraft.
