Catering to your aircraft in Oklahoma City.
KTIK runs on red-dirt weather and tight access rules, so the food arrives packed for the drawer and the oven, labelled by seat. Oklahoma City crews get a plate they can serve without a second thought.
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.
Oklahoma City and the wider Oklahoma table give a private jet menu plenty to work with, and a good inflight menu here starts with beef. Local specialities such as chicken fried steak, smoked brisket and the onion burger are comfort food that has to be rethought for a galley: the crust goes soft in a drawer, so we pack the steak plain and send the gravy in its own pot. For private jet food at altitude, a sliced Oklahoma ribeye, served Re-plate cold or finished in the oven, travels better than anything fried.
Private jet platters built on Oklahoma produce suit the short ground time at KTIK: pecan-crusted chicken salad, smoked prairie turkey, pickled okra and cornbread, all cut per passenger. Gourmet inflight meals lean on regional barbecue and Southern sides, while private jet snacks include pecan brittle and beef jerky. The private jet menu for Oklahoma City shifts with the season: peaches and watermelon in summer, pecans and sweet potato in autumn. Local specialities from {Region} stay simple so the galley can finish them.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Tinker Air Force Base, a military field on the south-east edge of Oklahoma City at 1,291 ft, sees executive traffic arrive under strict access rules, and private jet catering here is built around the gate pass and the handling agent. Inflight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering are packed for the galley you actually fly, from a light jet with one oven to a long-range cabin. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same protocol, and cabin crew meals ride alongside on request.
Corporate jet catering from Tinker Air Force Base starts with who is flying and what the galley holds. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu for a business jet catering order, whether it is a charter flight catering run or a VIP flight catering trip, and luxury inflight catering stays plated, labelled and simple to serve.
At a military installation, government flight catering is quiet by design. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule here: the menu is approved before cooking, and delivery goes through the handling agent, with names kept off the labels.
At Tinker Air Force Base, special meals follow a procedure built around the Oklahoma kitchen: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and packed on a separate board, because flour, dairy and peanut oil run through so much regional cooking. Kids meals and other special meals are labelled by seat number only, so nothing is opened by mistake in the galley.
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.
Crew catering at Tinker Air Force Base is a separate line, commissioned and billed on request. Crew meals come in crew meal boxes labelled CREW, pilot meals and cockpit meals can differ for captain and first officer, and flight crew meals stay simple for a long turn. Different meals for pilots are available, and cabin crew meals are packed beside them.
FBO catering at Tinker Air Force Base is handed over to your handling agent, who clears the vehicle for the airside. Catering delivery to the FBO runs through the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering plus handling agent catering follow the same chain so the aircraft receives it at the door.
A KTIK ramp handles everything from light jets to heavy military-adjacent traffic, and the aircraft decides the loading. Galley catering for a large cabin may need a high loader, while a light jet takes boxes through the door. Airside catering delivery runs through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the galley and the door height before anything is packed.
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.
At 1,291 ft, KTIK is a working airfield first and a business aviation hub second. Airport catering here is arranged through the handling agent, general aviation arrivals are the exception rather than the rule, and FBO services and ground handling services are scheduled with clearance.
For a business aviation hub with military roots, inflight catering is planned around the slot. In-flight catering, aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all confirmed with the handling agent, and spring storms can reshuffle a departure.
Food entering the United States on an international leg is subject to agricultural inspection, and a flight landing at Tinker will follow the same rules as any other US field. Declare fresh produce and meat, avoid restricted items, and keep a menu list ready. Domestic catering from us is traceable and simple to clear.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“For 6 passengers departing from KTIK, the agreed menu was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches; our main consideration was a small galley worktop. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering. I asked The Galley Girls for the sandwiches in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the starters ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
“With a changing departure schedule to consider at TIK, we needed a practical way to serve vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection to 2 passengers. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the crew provisions and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The cabin team could match the canapés to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure.”
“Getting yoghurt pots and fresh berries ready for 3 guests at Tinker Air Force Base required an order that accounted for a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls labelled the side dishes in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the fruit plates without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I would discuss private jet catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination.”
How much does private jet catering cost when the leg is long enough for lunch and a late dinner? It depends on what each service holds: ribeye and sides sit higher than a cold pecan chicken salad. At Tinker Air Force Base the quote is built per menu line, so you see both services itemised.
Lead time depends on what you add. A fixed-count plated main needs more planning than a family-style platter that stretches to one extra seat. At KTIK, send the tail and slot early for gate clearance; last-minute orders are handled, count included.
A delegation arriving into Oklahoma City will hit customs on the first landing, not at the catering stage. We supply domestic, traceable food and a declared list; leftovers from an inbound international leg should be binned per local rules, not carried onward.
Own food is allowed, but a flight attendant rarely wants to reheat something unlabelled. A special-meal request from Oklahoma City is cooked apart, sealed, and given a seat number, so the crew can serve without a question.
Is catering part of a charter contract? It is not, and a duty day with a wait in Oklahoma City shows why. The aircraft price covers the flight; food is its own order. Crew meals can be added for the long wait, hot or cold, with a clear CREW label.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
