Catering to your aircraft in Montague.
Cold mornings, quiet apron, Mount Shasta in the window: that is a normal turn at Siskiyou County Airport. We prepare the meal for the aircraft and the crew, and deliver it through your handling agent.
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.
Siskiyou County sits in far northern California, at the foot of Mount Shasta, and the private jet menu for Siskiyou County Airport follows that country: cattle ranches, orchards, the Shasta and Klamath river valleys. An inflight menu here leans on local specialities that travel well: slow-braised Siskiyou beef, grilled trout, Rogue Valley-style pears and cheese, and wild-berry compotes in the season. Private jet food from this region is honest and seasonal, so we write the private jet menu around what is really available in Montague and the surrounding valley that week. Private jet platters carry the cold side, gourmet inflight meals carry the hot side, and private jet snacks fill the gap between. Local specialities are plated for the cabin, not copied from a restaurant card. California produce is generous, and the Siskiyou kitchen uses it.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
KSIY sits at 2,648 ft on the high-desert floor of the Shasta Valley, a field where the aircraft often outnumber the services. Private jet catering at Siskiyou County Airport is cooked and packed for the galley you actually have, then handed over at your FBO or handling agent. The same brief covers inflight catering for the passengers and cabin crew meals for the front and back of the aircraft. Business aviation catering here is a short, clear order: type, slot, headcount. For an executive jet catering request or a diplomatic flight catering brief routed through Montague, we write the menu first and confirm it before anything is cooked. Aviation catering for this field runs day and night, 24/7.
At KSIY the typical flight is a corporate or charter jet landing for a short stay in northern California. Our private jet chef builds a bespoke menu from what is in season in the Shasta Valley, and business jet catering and corporate jet catering are packed for the galley. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same plain approach at Siskiyou County Airport.
When a government or diplomatic aircraft calls at KSIY, the brief goes through the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cooked only after the menu is agreed. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering at Siskiyou County Airport are discreet, traceable and handled by a named team.
At KSIY, special meals are a procedure written around the local kitchen: ranch-meat and dairy-heavy cooking means we separate boards, pots and trays for every restriction. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are packed and sealed apart, marked by seat number and restriction, never by a passenger name. Kids meals follow the same card system as the guest trays. Tell us the restriction when you request the order and we adjust the menu before cooking.
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.
Out at KSIY the crew often eats between legs, so we pack for the cockpit and the jumpseat, not for a table, and crew meals are a request-only item, added to the order and billed as its own line. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed apart from the guest trays, and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed. Crew catering for KSIY can include different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer do not share a dish. Crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and cabin crew meals are packed for the back of the aircraft.
On a field like KSIY, catering delivery to the FBO is straightforward: one general aviation terminal, one handling agent, one handover. FBO catering is coordinated through your ground handler, and ground handling catering follows your slot. Handling agent catering at Siskiyou County Airport is the same service as everywhere else.
Most traffic at Siskiyou County Airport is light and midsize jets and turboprops, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand through the door. When a larger aircraft calls at KSIY, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, with the aircraft provisioning planned around the door height and the galley layout. The type decides the loading, so give us the type and we plan the handover accordingly.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
KSIY is a general aviation airport in Montague, California, at 2,648 ft on the Shasta Valley floor. Airport catering for the field follows the same routine as anywhere: order, cook, deliver at the aircraft. General aviation traffic and FBO services define the day, and ground handling services support the turn.
Siskiyou County Airport is not a major business aviation hub, but it attracts private flights for Mount Shasta, the ranches and the fishing. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at KSIY are small, precise orders. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering run the same way, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol. Cabin crew meals are boxed separately.
Domestic flights into KSIY face no food-import rule, but international arrivals must clear US customs and agriculture inspection. Meat, fresh produce and dairy are the items most watched. Meals we supply are cooked in the region, so they add no customs step.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around a changing departure schedule at Siskiyou County Airport, I asked for avocado toast components and breakfast fruit in portions appropriate for our 5 passengers. I wanted clear identification on the sandwiches; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the main courses identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. Our brief for in flight catering was met with a sensible plan for crew briefing.”
“Despite limited fridge space, we wanted the 3 guests at KSIY to enjoy herb chicken with a quinoa salad without a complicated cabin service. I asked The Galley Girls to review the starters quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. It was useful to see the salads listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. For inflight catering services, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“Clear quantities were essential at SIY: we had 3 passengers expecting beef fillet with roasted potatoes and were working around a tight boarding window. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the fruit plates to arrive in sealed meal containers. I want an inflight catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We placed the sandwiches in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
Costs change with the table. At KSIY, a vegan lunch of seasonal vegetables and orchard fruit sits at the lower end, while a sealed kosher meal or a custom allergen-free hot dish sits higher.

Lead time at Siskiyou County Airport depends on what you ask the kitchen to cook. A crew on a tight duty day can take cold platters and boxed crew meals, which are easy to prepare. Hot dishes and special meals need a clearer brief. Last-minute orders are handled, 24/7.
Customs only matters when the aircraft arrives from abroad. Domestic flights into KSIY carry no food-import issue, and our meals are cooked locally and handed over at the aircraft. On a short turnaround we plan a menu that is boxed and ready, so nothing sits on the ramp. International inbound rules follow US food-import controls.
Bringing food is allowed on domestic private flights, but the question is how well it travels. Local orchard pears, valley cheeses and honey are chosen for galley handling. At KSIY, we can add a single local item to a meal you supplied.
A private jet charter into Montague does not carry catering with it. You order it, we cook it, and it is invoiced on its own. For international legs, US customs rules limit fresh meat, produce and dairy, so choose sealed items.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
