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

Local specialities from Wausau for your inflight catering

Wisconsin gives a Wausau private jet menu its character. Cheese is the obvious start: aged cheddar, Havarti and fresh cheese curds, which squeak when they are cold and soften fast, so they travel in their own sealed box on a chilled board. Door County cherries, dried or as a compote, land on private jet platters beside Wisconsin summer sausage and rye. Smoked whitefish from Lake Michigan makes a dependable cold inflight menu item, and a wild rice soup from the north woods is a hot option that holds in a thermal pot. Central Wisconsin is also the country's ginseng growing area, and a ginseng tea service suits a morning departure. We pack local specialities as private jet food built for a small galley, and gourmet inflight meals for {Region} routes are labelled by seat. Private jet snacks run to cheese curds, pretzels and cherry bars. The private jet menu for Wisconsin shifts with the season: sweet corn and apples in late summer, heavier braises when the ramp is frozen.

A private jet menu for Wausau, Wisconsin reads like the region: dairy first, then lake fish, then orchard fruit. Cold plates carry aged cheddar, smoked whitefish and rye, and local specialities such as cheese curds ride in a separate sealed container so they do not sweat. For the inflight menu, a bratwurst slider or a walleye fillet finishes in the galley oven, with the sauce in its own pot. Door County cherries turn up in desserts and on private jet platters. Gourmet inflight meals are portioned for a King Air, a Citation or a Challenger, and private jet snacks include kettle popcorn, pretzel bites and trail mix with dried cherries. Private jet food from Wisconsin changes with the harvest, and {Region} produce in September is a different order from January.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Wausau Downtown Airport (KAUW)

Wausau Downtown sits at 1,201 feet in central Wisconsin, a general aviation field where a King Air or a light jet taxis to the apron beside the FBO. Private jet catering here follows that rhythm: a small cabin, a modest galley, a crew that wants one clean handover. Inflight catering for AUW is cooked and packed for the aircraft you actually fly, and in-flight catering for longer legs adds a second service in the drawer. Aviation catering at KAUW covers business aviation catering for corporate trips, executive jet catering for owner-operators, and diplomatic flight catering when a protocol office is involved, with cabin crew meals on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Wausau for business and VIP flights (AUW)

Business jet catering at Wausau is usually a small brief: four to six passengers, one stop, a Wisconsin lunch. Corporate jet catering for local manufacturers and paper-industry teams leans on cold boards, while VIP flight catering for an owner might add a private jet chef cooking a bespoke menu around walleye and wild rice. Charter flight catering is ordered per trip, and luxury inflight catering here means good cheese and a clean handover.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Wausau Downtown Airport (KAUW)

When an official party lands in Wausau, the protocol office decides the menu, not the kitchen. Government flight catering here means sealed trays and a named contact; head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are all handled with that same discretion.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Wausau Downtown Airport (AUW)

At Wausau the allergen to watch is dairy: cheese turns up in sauces, crusts and even breadings, so a dairy-free or vegan tray is built on its own board and in its own box, away from the cheese plates. Kosher meals travel sealed, and halal, gluten free and allergen free trays are prepared the same way. Kids meals and other special meals follow the dietary codes you send with the order.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

About the airportKAUW / AUW

About Wausau Downtown Airport (KAUW): aviation catering and general aviation

Wausau Downtown is a general aviation airport in Marathon County, Wisconsin, serving the city and its manufacturing and forestry industries. The airport catering we do here is shaped by a small apron, weekend traffic and seasonal flows.

Business aviation

Wausau is a business aviation hub in miniature, with FBO services and ground handling services for turboprops and light jets. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here run to cold lunches; aviation catering and business aviation catering add hot plates when the galley allows. Executive jet catering suits owner-operators, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip. Autumn hunting and winter weather shape the season.

Customs & food import

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Food presentation mattered to our 12 guests, but an evening cabin service also had to be considered when organising vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection at AUW. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the snack boxes to arrive in stackable containers. With inflight catering services, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“What impressed me at Wausau Downtown Airport was how a request for a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables was handled despite a small galley worktop. I want an inflight catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The sauces supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The crew provisions were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
Eva J. | Government flight manager
ACJ319
★★★★★VIP AIRLINER
“Rather than an elaborate service at KAUW, our 9 guests wanted a mezze selection with flatbreads, organised sensibly around a short ground stop. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience. We changed the quantities of main courses, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The note about the crew provisions was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

Wausau Downtown: the questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a night departure or an early morning slot at Wausau Downtown?+

Night or morning slots do not change what a plate is worth. Cost comes from the menu: cherries and curds are modest, lake fish and wild rice soup add up, and you see the total before the slot.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Wausau Downtown, with the handling agent and airside access?+

The lead time here depends on what you order. A cold platter is simple, while a hot dish for the oven needs the galley details, and your handling agent confirms the airside route.

What about customs when a short repositioning flight arrives at KAUW with an empty cabin?+

Domestic repositioning flights into KAUW avoid the question. For arrivals from abroad, US food import rules apply, and we pack meals so nothing prohibited rides back.

Can you bring food on board for a long leg with two services at Wausau?+

You may carry personal food, though two services on one leg are cleaner from the galley: a hot main first, then a cheese board or sandwich plate waiting in the drawer.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Wausau when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

The charter does not include catering. Whether six board or eight, you tell us the final count for AUW and the order is amended and invoiced separately.
