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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Telluride (TEX)

Colorado cooking at altitude is its own discipline, and the private jet menu for Telluride reflects it. Elk, Rocky Mountain trout, Palisade peaches and Western Slope lamb are the local specialities that travel well from the San Juans into a galley, and each is packed according to how it finishes on board.

A private jet menu out of Telluride is built around what holds up at 9,070 feet. Inflight menu choices lean on braised and roasted dishes that reheat evenly, with sauces in their own pots and salads dressed apart. Private jet food from Colorado kitchens means game, mountain trout, heritage grains and stone fruit in season.

For the cold side, private jet platters carry Colorado cheeses, cured meats and seasonal fruit that sit happily in the drawer until it is time to serve. Gourmet inflight meals for a ski-season family charter often start with something warm in a mug and end with a chilled dessert. Private jet snacks for the cabin run to trail-style nuts, dark chocolate and fresh fruit. Local specialities of Telluride and Colorado can be swapped in on request.

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

Telluride Regional sits on a mesa at 9,070 feet, and that altitude shapes what survives in a galley: bread dries, bubbles go flat, sauces split. Private jet catering for KTEX is cooked and packed with that in mind, then handed to your FBO or handling agent. Aircraft on this field get inflight catering that eats well in thin air, aviation catering labelled by seat, and cabin crew meals boxed apart. Executive jet catering for the ski season is ordered with the tail and the slot, and last-minute orders are handled.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Telluride Regional Airport (KTEX)

A typical business jet catering brief at Telluride is a family or a small corporate group heading up for a week on the mountain. Corporate jet catering here is lighter on the arrival leg and heavier on departure, when guests want something warm. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all follow the seat plan. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around your guests' tastes, without relying on a large galley.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Telluride Regional Airport (TEX)

When a delegation uses Telluride Regional, the menu is agreed with the protocol team first. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow strict handling: sealed packaging, a named contact, and no names on the labels. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are written around security requirements.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Telluride Regional Airport (TEX)

Special meals at a ski-resort field mean the guest list is often a family with a nut allergy, a halal guest on the second sofa and a vegan teenager. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free dishes are prepared on a separate board and boxed apart, each marked by seat. Kids meals come in small portions that travel well, so the cabin crew is not rebuilding anything mid-flight.

Crew meals & pilot meals at Telluride Regional Airport

A Telluride turn can leave the crew waiting on a closed mountain pass or a weather hold, so crew meals matter more than they look. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed apart from the guest trays. Crew catering, cockpit meals and crew meal boxes are ordered with the trip, and different meals for pilots are packed separately. Crew meals are a request, billed like any other item.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Telluride Regional Airport (KTEX)

At Telluride, FBO catering is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft, depending on your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with ground handling catering in mind: whoever opens the door signs for the box. Handling agent catering is coordinated by phone or email before your slot.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Telluride Regional Airport (TEX)

Telluride sees mostly light and midsize jets, so most galley catering is carried aboard by hand rather than lifted. For larger cabin types, we confirm the door height and whether a high loader is needed for airside catering delivery with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout of the tail: ovens, chillers, drawer space, and whether anything must be stowed in the cabin.

About the airportKTEX / TEX

Airport catering at Telluride Regional Airport (KTEX)

Telluride Regional Airport is a small mountain airport serving the town and ski resort. Airport catering here is built around general aviation, with FBO services and ground handling services supporting private jets in the winter and summer seasons.

Business aviation

Telluride is a seasonal business aviation hub: ski winters, festival summers. Business aviation catering here covers inflight catering for family charters, in-flight catering for corporate groups, aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering for owners, and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation visits. Cabin crew meals are boxed separately and handed over with the rest.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from abroad clear US customs elsewhere, and agricultural rules limit what fresh food can be carried in. Domestic catering ordered for Telluride avoids that problem: it is cooked locally and handed over at the FBO.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Between cabin checks at Telluride Regional Airport, I coordinated chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 2 guests and explained our concerns about a small galley worktop. For business aviation catering, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage. I asked The Galley Girls for the starters in individual containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the crew provisions ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

Jun C. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Despite a late menu amendment, we wanted the 12 guests at KTEX to enjoy a selection of petits fours and sandwiches without a complicated cabin service. My main takeaway from this jet catering order was the practical approach to written menu details. The Galley Girls grouped the breakfast portions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the desserts without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

Yusuf Q. | Government flight manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“One detail shaped our order at TEX: limited fridge space, alongside a request for poached fish with steamed rice for 6 passengers. I needed the side dishes checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. With VIP flight catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

What crews ask before TellurideAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation flying into Telluride?+

Whether it is a minister's flight or a corporate delegation, the price answers three questions: what is cooked, for how many, and how it is packed. Telluride adds no surprise; altitude only influences the dishes we choose. Share the tail and the slot and we price private jet catering for that flight.

What is the lead time for a kosher or allergen meal into Telluride?+

Kids meals, kosher and allergen free dishes need clear information more than long notice. Seat, restriction, severity, and any must-avoid ingredient. Send that with your tail and slot for Telluride, and last-minute additions are still handled.

How do customs affect catering when the crew waits on the ground in Telluride?+

Customs matters mostly when a flight arrives from outside the United States: raw meat, dairy and produce taken off an inbound aircraft usually cannot be reused. For a crew waiting at KTEX on a split duty day, a fresh crew meal ordered here avoids that problem entirely.

Can you bring food to a short Telluride turnaround?+

Passengers can bring snacks, and crews can bring a sandwich, but nothing replaces a galley that is already stocked. For a short Telluride turn we hand over a labelled order at the aircraft, matched to your seat plan.

Is catering part of a charter into Telluride, and can we add a local product?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: the operator, broker or passenger orders it separately, and it is billed like any other order. If your guests want a taste of Colorado, one local product, a Palisade peach course in summer or Rocky Mountain trout in the cold months, is often enough to make the menu feel of the place.
