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

What Waco brings to your in-flight catering (CNW)

Waco is Central Texas, halfway between barbecue country and the Czech bakeries of West, and the private jet menu we build for TSTC Waco follows that. Every dish is chosen for how it travels in a galley: sliced brisket packed with its sauce apart, sausage cut for the plate, kolaches boxed warm-ready for the morning flights. The inflight menu changes with Texas seasons, with peaches and pecans in summer and fall.

Private jet food from Texas has to survive a drawer and a small oven, so we pick local specialities that re-plate well. Smoked brisket, pulled pork sliders, Tex-Mex enchiladas, pecan pie and Dr Pepper-glazed ribs all make the private jet menu for Waco. Texas guests expect barbecue, so the inflight menu starts there and adds lighter cold plates for the ones who do not.

Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same plane-side routine, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately on request.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at TSTC Waco Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Waco is usually a short brief: four to eight seats, a hot Texas main, a cold alternative and something sweet. Corporate jet catering for Baylor and Magnolia trips, charter flight catering for weekend groups and VIP flight catering for owners all use the same kitchen. A private jet chef can build a bespoke menu around the guest list, and luxury inflight catering means brisket sliced properly, not a boxed sandwich.

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Waco (KCNW)

State visit aircraft catering is quiet, by protocol and handed over plane-side.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at TSTC Waco Airport

Dietary requests at Waco are handled as a procedure, not a label. Texas kitchens lean on wheat, dairy, pork and tree nuts, so we check sauces, rubs, cornbread and pecan desserts for hidden allergens before anything is cooked. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are packed apart from the rest, and kids meals and other special meals are marked by seat number.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at TSTC Waco Airport (KCNW)

At Waco, FBO catering is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft, depending on the slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, who opens the gate and signs the order in. Ground handling catering needs the tail and the parking spot, and handling agent catering is simple on a field this size.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at TSTC Waco Airport (KCNW)

Aircraft at TSTC Waco range from light jets to the occasional larger business aircraft, and the type decides how the order is loaded. A large cabin with a deep galley takes a full galley catering order; a light jet gets a short list sized to one drawer. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO or your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around door height and whether a high loader is needed at all.

About the airportKCNW / CNW

About TSTC Waco Airport: business aviation and airport catering

KCNW is the airport for Waco's corporate, college and weekend charter traffic. General aviation dominates, FBO services are straightforward, and ground handling services are quick to arrange. Airport catering is delivered through the terminal and the field is easy to work.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub traffic at Waco peaks around Baylor football, Magnolia visitors and regional events. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders rise with them, and business aviation catering needs the type and the seat plan. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering when required, and cabin crew meals all follow the same plane-side routine.

Customs & food import

United States customs and agriculture rules apply to food brought in from abroad, and Waco is no exception for international arrivals. Fresh meat, dairy and produce carried across the border are subject to inspection, so ordering catering locally for the onward leg is simpler. General aviation travellers should declare food at the first port of entry.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Clear quantities were essential at TSTC Waco Airport: we had 3 passengers expecting a charcuterie board and fresh bread and were working around limited fridge space. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the side dishes before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The crew provisions went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the crew meals arrangements.”

Santiago T. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“The 10 passenger portions of grilled salmon with a lemon dressing were the easy part; managing two separate meal services at KCNW took more planning. The Galley Girls labelled the main courses 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 FBO catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination.”

Mateusz D. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Our priority at CNW was roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 5 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls updated the sandwiches in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. For our team, the strongest part of their airport catering was how they handled galley preparation. There was no need to reconstruct the crew provisions quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

The TSTC Waco questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost on a long leg out of Waco with two services on board?+

Two services on one leg change the order more than anything else. Out of TSTC Waco, a hot brisket dinner followed by a cold breakfast box is two preparations, and it is priced as such. Seafood or ribeye in the mix pushes the total up, while sandwiches and fruit bring it down.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Waco?+

If three guests become five, the menu holds and the quantities grow. For TSTC Waco this is easy with barbecue and sides, which scale well, and trickier with plated seafood, so tell us early if you can. Last-minute orders are handled either way.

Do customs rules affect catering for a delegation or government flight into Waco?+

A delegation arriving at Waco will see US customs and agriculture checks on food that was loaded abroad. The simplest path is to order catering for the onward leg here, with names and labels agreed in advance. Diplomatic flight catering is prepared quietly and by protocol.

Can you bring food of your own into Waco, or does a special-meal request need to be ordered with us?+

Passengers do bring food, especially for religious or medical needs. Our advice from Waco is to let us prepare the special meals and keep your own for snacks, because we can document allergens and seal the tray.

Is catering part of a charter into Waco when the crew spends hours waiting on the ground?+

Charter contracts at Waco cover the flight, not the food. Catering is ordered and invoiced like any other service, and crews who wait on the ground can have meals brought to the FBO.
