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 Huntington (HTS)

West Virginia food is mountain food: ramps in April, pepperoni rolls, buckwheat and cornmeal, apples from the eastern panhandle, and hickory-smoked ham. A private jet menu here can lean on these without pretending they are fine dining, and an inflight menu built around them reads as local, which passengers notice.

Private jet food from this region has to survive a galley. The pepperoni roll travels perfectly cold or warmed for two minutes; a cornmeal-crusted fish should be packed crisp and finished in the oven. Local specialities from West Virginia and the Ohio valley work best when each element is packed separately and re-plated by you at altitude.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (KHTS)

Ferguson Field is an Appalachian ridge-top strip where fog in the Ohio River valley can push a departure back, and that is the first thing a galley plan here has to absorb. Private jet catering at Huntington is built around that window: inflight catering packed to hold, in-flight catering that reheats in a small oven, and aviation catering handed over at the FBO. For business aviation catering and executive jet catering we plan cabin crew meals and diplomatic flight catering requests the same way, by the aircraft and the slot.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Huntington (KHTS)

Most business jet catering at Huntington is a short brief. Corporate jet catering here usually means a light or midsize jet carrying executives to or from the river-valley plants, back the same day, so the order is a cold lunch that waits in the drawer and one hot item for a small oven. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same logic, scaled to the seat plan. For luxury inflight catering our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft type and the weather window, because a fog hold at Tri-State changes what should be hot and what should be cold. On football weekends the ramp fills with charters and the brief shifts to shareable platters.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field

Government flight catering at Huntington is rare but real: state officials from Charleston, federal visits to the region, and occasional head of state flight catering requests when a delegation passes through West Virginia. VIP aviation catering means the menu is cleared before anything is cooked, traced, and handled by a named team. For a state visit aircraft catering order we work from the protocol brief and keep the paper trail clean, with no names on trays and a discreet handover at the FBO.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (HTS)

Special meals at Huntington start with the local bread, because cornbread, biscuits and pepperoni rolls are wheat all the way through. Kosher and halal orders are sourced and sealed in advance, vegan and gluten free meals are packed on a separate board, and allergen free and kids meals carry the seat number, not the name. Each is a procedure adapted to a kitchen where flour hides in the gravy, not a promise on a label.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (HTS)

On a short Huntington turn the crew eats fast and one-handed. Crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals are ordered with the flight on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Crew catering here means cockpit meals in boxes that eat from a lap, and different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. Crew meal boxes are marked CREW so they never get mistaken for a passenger tray.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field

FBO catering at Tri-State is handed over where the ramp is quiet: your food arrives at the general aviation terminal at the time you give us, and we coordinate with the handling agent for airside access. Catering delivery to the FBO is timed to the slot, not the clock on the road, which matters when fog can push a departure. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one conversation: tell us the tail and the slot, and the box is at the aircraft door.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (HTS)

Most traffic at Ferguson Field is light and midsize jets with low cabin doors, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand, no high loader needed. For anything larger, airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent in advance. Aircraft provisioning starts with the aircraft type and the oven or microwave it actually has.

About the airportKHTS / HTS

About Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (KHTS): aviation catering and general aviation

Tri-State Airport, also known as Milton J. Ferguson Field, is the general aviation gateway for Huntington, West Virginia, and the corner where Ohio and Kentucky meet. Corporate flight departments, university charters and medical flights share the ramp, and the river valley makes weather a daily variable. Airport catering here is planned around that rhythm, with FBO services and ground handling services coordinated on the day so the box reaches the aircraft door on your slot.

Business aviation

As a business aviation hub, Huntington is small but steady: plant executives, Marshall University travel and sports charters, usually on light or midsize jets with compact galleys. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are scaled to that cabin, and aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the aircraft type and the weather window rather than a fixed menu. Executive jet catering for a corporate day trip, the rare diplomatic flight catering request and cabin crew meals are all arranged the same way. Crew meals are ordered with the flight, on request, and invoiced like everything else.

Customs & food import

Flights within the United States face no customs check on food. For an international departure from Huntington, clearance is done at the port of entry, and a return leg carrying food from abroad falls under CBP and USDA rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce. Settle the catering for the way back before you leave, so the airport catering order and the FBO services at the other end are not a surprise to the crew.

★★★★☆VIP AIRLINER

“A request for prawn salad and small fruit plates, 10 passengers, and a short ground stop: that was our brief for the departure at Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field. The Galley Girls labelled the fruit plates in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the starters without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience.”

Daniel X. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Nothing about the 10 guest order at KHTS called for excess complexity: just herb chicken with a quinoa salad and sensible planning for a short ground stop. The Galley Girls prepared the salads for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. For our team, the strongest part of their flight catering was how they handled storage requirements. Keeping the side dishes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Viktor N. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“The 4 passenger portions of a cold lunch with cheese and fruit were the easy part; managing a changing departure schedule at HTS took more planning. My main takeaway from this flight catering services order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the crew provisions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the breakfast portions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Asked before every KHTS slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Huntington?+

Cost for private jet catering at Huntington is set by the cabin, not the airport: a small galley, fewer hot items, a lower bill. Tell us the tail and we tell you what fits.

What is the lead time for catering at Huntington?+

Fog in the river valley can shift a Huntington departure by an hour or more, so the lead time is best given as a window: order about ten hours ahead if you can, and we handle late changes and last-minute requests.

What about customs when ordering a return leg from Huntington?+

For a return leg ordered at Tri-State, think about customs at the other end: we avoid restricted items on international sectors and keep paperwork simple.

Can you bring food on board yourself at Huntington?+

Yes, but an early departure from Ferguson Field leaves little time to source anything. If you bring food, tell us so we plan around it; we can still cover the rest.

Is catering part of a charter into Huntington?+

The charter does not cover food. Order it separately; the handling agent at Ferguson Field clears the way airside, and we deliver on your slot.
