Catering to your aircraft in Unalaska.
At PADU the weather decides the schedule and the island's seafood decides the menu. We pack Alaskan crab, salmon and halibut for the galley and deliver it to your handling agent, with the sauce apart.
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.

Unalaska is a fishing town first, and the private jet menu for Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport shows it. Local specialities here are Bering Sea products: king crab and snow crab, wild Alaskan salmon, halibut and cod. For private jet food that travels, crab goes in legs, cracked and chilled, with the sauce in its own pot; salmon is either a cold side or a fillet finished in your oven.
An inflight menu for PADU starts from what the fleets land. Private jet platters of cold-smoked salmon, crab and pickled vegetables hold well on a delayed leg, while a halibut fillet is a hot dish finished in the aircraft oven. Gourmet inflight meals built on these local specialities, plus private jet snacks like salmon jerky, stay simple to serve across Alaska.

Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport sits at 22 ft on Amaknak Island, a short strip with weather that decides the day, and almost no restaurant supply built for a galley. Private jet catering at PADU has to be planned around that: Bering Sea seafood, packed to survive a delay. For inflight catering and in-flight catering alike, we cook and label for the aircraft you actually fly. Aviation catering for business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering movements follows the same line, and cabin crew meals ride in the same order.
Business jet catering at Dutch Harbor is usually a small party on a light or midsize aircraft, often on a fishing, mining or government errand. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here favour one strong dish over a long list, and charter flight catering follows the same logic. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Alaskan seafood, and luxury inflight catering at DUT means a clean plate, not a crowded one.
Government flight catering at Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport is quiet work: protocol comes first, then the kitchen. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering for state visit aircraft catering movements are cleared before anything is cooked, labelled by seat, and handed over without names on trays.
Special meals at PADU are a procedure built around a seafood kitchen: shellfish and fish are the main allergen risk here, so allergen free dishes are prepared on separate boards and packed apart. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are ordered with the rest and marked by seat number.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at PADU are ordered with the flight and priced as their own line. Flight crew meals handle the long waits Unalaska is known for, pilot meals are simple and quiet, and crew catering is labelled CREW. Cockpit meals are boxed, crew meal boxes are stackable, and different meals for pilots are packed when the operator's policy asks. Cabin crew meals ride in the same order, boxed apart and marked CREW.
FBO catering at Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport means catering delivery to the FBO, where your handling agent takes it to the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is small, so ground handling catering is simple, and handling agent catering is agreed in advance.
Here on Amaknak Island, the type you fly decides how the trays reach the cabin. A light jet takes a few cases by hand through the cabin door, while a larger aircraft may need a high loader. Galley catering and airside catering delivery follow the same plan, and aircraft provisioning is agreed with your handling agent before the slot.
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.

PADU is the gateway to Unalaska, an Aleutian community built around the Bering Sea fisheries. The airport is modest in scale and subject to weather, so business aircraft plan for delays.
Airport catering here is seasonal: crab and pollock seasons shape what is fresh. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for business aviation catering and executive jet catering movements follow the same calendar, as does aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering. Cabin crew meals are planned for long waits. General aviation traffic is light, FBO services are limited, and ground handling services are arranged ahead; this is a small business aviation hub.
US customs treats imported food strictly, and Alaska follows the same rules. Declare what you carry, or order the menu here so nothing needs declaring.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Rather than an elaborate service at Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport, our 8 guests wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries, organised sensibly around a tight boarding window. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the sauces to arrive in stackable containers. The crew provisions were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. I want a private jet catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Several practical details needed attention at PADU, with fresh fruit and breakfast pastries requested for 3 guests and several individual meal preferences to accommodate. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I found the side dishes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience.”
“Keeping the galley organised at DUT meant planning roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 6 guests with limited fridge space in mind. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the canapés and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about storage requirements. We could account for the crew provisions before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
Fog can stretch a turnaround, so most orders here include a spare cold item. Cost moves with seafood choice: king crab sits at the top, smoked salmon platters at the lower end.
For a quick turn we steer you to chilled platters; for a longer ground stop, an oven dish. Either way the order is agreed around the slot, and late requests are handled.
Seafood is the obvious local choice, and king crab is the dish people remember. Customs rules affect imported produce, so a local order keeps paperwork simple.
Customs officers check meat and produce first. If you are unsure what your country's rules allow, ask us and we will build the menu locally instead.
A private jet charter does not include food. We build the order around the galley you have, whether that is a drawer or a full oven.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
