Catering to your aircraft in Dulles.
Dulles sits on a high Virginia plateau with long parallel runways and a steady flow of diplomatic and corporate traffic. We cook for the galley you actually have, and the crew gets a drawer that opens in the right order.
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.
Virginia gives a Dulles menu its backbone. Chesapeake blue crab, Rappahannock oysters and Virginia country ham are the local specialities we reach for first, and each travels differently: crab cakes are packed chilled with the remoulade in a separate pot, oysters arrive shucked-ready on ice for a crew that serves them, and country ham is sliced thin on a board so the cabin can build it onto a biscuit.
A private jet menu for Dulles can follow the Shenandoah Valley in autumn: apples from the orchards, Virginia peanuts, Brunswick stew in a sealed insulated pot, and a Smithfield-style ham plate. The inflight menu changes with the season, since soft crab runs in late spring and summer while oysters are at their best in the cold months. Private jet food from Virginia is cooked ahead and finished by you, a re-plate rather than a recipe.
Everything here is described as it rides in the galley, whether it is local produce, a country ham plate or seafood on ice. We keep the sauce apart, the cold on one side and the warm in the oven, so that the Virginia dishes arrive as they were meant to. The Region is Virginia, and the dishes carry it into the cabin.
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.
Winter slush on the Dulles apron changes how a tray is carried, and it shapes how we pack private jet catering for KIAD: sealed, labelled by seat, ready for a handling agent to walk to the door. Inflight catering here leans on Virginia produce, and in-flight catering for a diplomatic rotation follows protocol before any pan is lit. Aviation catering for business aviation catering clients, executive jet catering for a short Atlantic hop, diplomatic flight catering for a delegation, cabin crew meals for the rotation: each order is written from the galley outward.
Corporate and charter traffic at Dulles often runs on tight itineraries, so business jet catering is planned around the seat plan and the oven you have. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering alike, and corporate jet catering or charter flight catering is built the same way: galley first.
Government flight catering at Dulles runs through protocol before any pan is lit. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are handled by a named team with full traceability and discretion, and state visit aircraft catering follows the delegation's requirements.
A vegan menu at Dulles can be built entirely from Virginia produce: Shenandoah apples, valley tomatoes, peanuts, greens and grains. Kosher, halal, gluten free and allergen free orders are cooked on separate boards and packed in their own sealed boxes, and kids meals and other special meals are marked by seat number. Tell us the restriction and the seat plan before you order.
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 Dulles the rotation often continues the same day, so crew meals are packed to be eaten between legs. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are ordered with the trip, billed like any other item, and boxed with the word CREW on the lid. Cockpit meals are built for one hand, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks. Crew catering and crew meal boxes are a line on the order, never an extra we assume.
At IAD the FBO and the handling agent decide how an order reaches the aircraft. We arrange FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO with them, and ground handling catering follows the apron rules. The general aviation terminal is the usual meeting point, and handling agent catering is written into the order.
Larger cabins at Dulles often need a high loader at the door, so galley catering is planned around the aircraft type and the position on the apron. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with the handling agent and the FBO ramp team, and aircraft provisioning follows the loading order from the galley outward. Tell us the type and the door and we pack accordingly.
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.

Dulles is a major airport that also serves general aviation and business aircraft, and airport catering here has to work around international traffic. FBO services and ground handling services keep the business apron moving, and the airport remains a business aviation hub for the capital region.
Dulles draws diplomatic and corporate flights throughout the year, and inflight catering for those flights follows the season, from crab in late spring to oysters in winter. In-flight catering for a long departure is packed for a cold cabin, aviation catering and business aviation catering for a delegation are cleared in advance, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals complete the order.
US customs and the Department of Agriculture control food coming in from abroad, so meat, dairy and fresh produce brought by an international flight can be held or discarded. We source in Virginia to keep the order simple at the gate.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“I wanted herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 2 guests at KIAD, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls suggested divided catering boxes for the canapés, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the side dishes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. This experience of private jet catering menu gave us a useful reference for managing final order confirmation on another departure.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at IAD: poached fish with steamed rice for 5 guests, organised with a family lunch request in mind. The salads supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the fruit plates without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. With private aviation catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“A request for beef fillet with roasted potatoes, 5 passengers, and a small galley worktop: that was our brief for the departure at Washington Dulles International Airport. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. My main takeaway from this business jet catering order was the practical approach to packing arrangement. There was enough information about the snack boxes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
What you order decides it. A seasonal trip through Dulles with oysters, crab and a tasting menu is priced differently from a light cold lunch for four. Weather windows change what is fresh, and fresh drives cost.
Plan the return when you plan the outbound: we can pack two sets of trays and keep the diets consistent. For a change on the day, last-minute orders are handled.
Dulles customs treats agricultural products carefully, and early morning slots leave little room for a missed document. We source in Virginia, so what enters the aircraft starts domestic.
Bring what you like for your own use, but for a delivered order the handling agent needs a list. We prepare one with every order.
No. Whether the cabin is empty on a repositioning or full for a business trip, catering is ordered apart from the charter and billed apart.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
