Catering to your aircraft in Pascagoula.
Pascagoula runs on shipyards, shrimp boats and the occasional corporate jet landing at KPQL. We pack Gulf catering for that aircraft and bring it to the FBO or the apron, day or night.
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.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast gives Pascagoula a table of its own, and a private jet menu here leans on it. Gulf shrimp, red snapper, oysters and crawfish do the work of local specialities, and each one travels differently in an inflight menu: shrimp boiled and chilled, snapper baked and re-plated, gumbo packed in a sealed pot. Private jet food built on these products reads as Southern coast cooking, not a generic hotel tray. For a Mississippi departure we pack private jet platters of boiled shrimp with remoulade, gourmet inflight meals such as shrimp and grits, and private jet snacks like pecan pralines and boudin balls. Pascagoula crews know the humidity, so cold items go in sealed, and sauces stay apart until you plate.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
In Pascagoula, the Gulf sets the menu: Mississippi shrimp, Gulf fish, crawfish in season, and the humidity that decides what stays crisp on an apron at KPQL. Private jet catering for PGL is built around those products and around the aircraft you actually fly in, from light jets to larger business aviation catering requests. We pack cabin crew meals separately from guest service, and we handle executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering with a named contact. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders reach us by phone or email, day or night.
Pascagoula sees executives flying in for the shipyards and energy work, so business jet catering is briefed by cabin size and what the galley can finish. We handle corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering with the same plan, and luxury inflight catering uses the Mississippi coast's best seafood. A private jet chef builds the bespoke menu once you give us the tail and the slot at KPQL.
When a government aircraft lands at KPQL, the order is built around protocol and traceability, not the kitchen. We write government flight catering and head of state flight catering menus with a named contact, and VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared with the protocol office before the Pascagoula handover.
Pascagoula cooking leans on shellfish, roux and fried batter, so the allergen question comes first on a Mississippi order. Shrimp, crab and oyster are everywhere on the coast, and gumbo roux carries gluten. We handle kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals as a procedure: a separate board, a separate box, labels by seat number. Tell us the restriction when you order special meals and we write the menu around it.
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.
At KPQL, crew meals are a catalogue item, requested with the trip and billed on the same invoice. We write flight crew meals as boxed, one-handed dishes; pilot meals are marked by seat, and crew catering is packed apart from the guest trays. Cockpit meals stay sealed until needed, crew meal boxes ride with the order, and different meals for pilots are packed when the operator's policy requires it.
At Pascagoula, we hand the order to the FBO or to your handling agent, who walks it to the aircraft. FBO catering, catering delivery to the FBO and handling agent catering are one process, and ground handling catering through the general aviation terminal keeps the handover tidy at Trent Lott International.
KPQL takes business jets, and the aircraft type decides how a galley load arrives. For a larger cabin with a high door, galley catering is brought airside and passed up in carts or by high loader; for a light jet it goes aboard by hand through the stairs. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent and the FBO, and aircraft provisioning is written against the galley you actually have: one oven, a drawer, limited chilled space.
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.

KPQL is the main airfield for Pascagoula, sitting low at 17 feet on the Gulf Coast. Airport catering for business aviation comes through the FBO and the general aviation terminal, and FBO services together with ground handling services are arranged through your agent.
Trent Lott International is a modest business aviation hub on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, driven by shipbuilding, energy and coastal travel. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here focus on Gulf seafood, while aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering run through the FBO, whose FBO services cover the apron handover. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are packed on request.
Flights arriving from outside the United States face customs inspection, and food import is restricted, particularly meat, dairy and fresh produce. Local Mississippi catering avoids the problem: we source domestically and pass the load through your handling agent, who works alongside the FBO services on the field.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Service planning came first at PGL, with 5 passengers choosing a cheese board and savoury canapés and a family lunch request influencing our preparation. After a final adjustment to the desserts, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the crew provisions against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. For vip inflight catering, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“The 4 passenger portions of a cheese board and savoury canapés were the easy part; managing an evening cabin service at Trent Lott International Airport took more planning. I asked The Galley Girls to review the starters quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The order made private jet catering feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. There was enough information about the side dishes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
“One detail shaped our order at KPQL: a revised passenger count, alongside a request for a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 6 passengers. My main takeaway from this private jet catering services order was the practical approach to galley preparation. The Galley Girls suggested clearly marked packs for the crew provisions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the salads to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
Ordering the return leg from Pascagoula is the practical way to see what private jet catering costs here. Oysters in season, boiled shrimp or blackened snapper cost more than sandwiches and fruit, so two legs with two different menus give two different totals, all on one invoice.
Lead time for a late departure from Trent Lott International depends on the menu more than the clock. Our line is open day or night, so a night slot is no different from a morning one, and short-notice orders are taken.
Customs can complicate foreign food, which is why Mississippi catering uses local product. The handling agent at KPQL opens airside for us, and we confirm the access point so the load is not held at the gate.
On an empty repositioning leg to KPQL, bringing food is possible, though imported items may be restricted at customs. Many crews prefer to order a small crew meal here instead of carrying one.
No, catering is not included in a private jet charter. At PGL we treat a two-service long leg as one order with two menus, handed over at the FBO or the aircraft and invoiced separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
