Catering to your aircraft in Westerly.
Westerly State keeps a quiet runway most of the year and then fills in July with jets bound for the Watch Hill shore. We pack private jet catering and crew meals for that summer rhythm.
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.
Westerly State serves a Rhode Island shore crowd, and the private jet menu starts with what that crowd already eats: stuffed quahogs, clam cakes, chowder in two styles and Del's lemonade.
For an inflight menu out of KWST, we pack private jet food that holds up in a light-jet galley. Private jet platters of chilled shellfish and Rhode Island cheeses, gourmet inflight meals finished in your oven, and private jet snacks that live in the cabin drawer all come from the local specialities list. Westerly and the wider Rhode Island coast give us plenty to choose from.
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.
Westerly State is a small Rhode Island field with a single paved runway at 81 feet, and in July its ramp fills with light jets bound for the Watch Hill shore. Private jet catering here is planned around those short summer stops, with inflight catering that suits a compact galley, aviation catering handed to your handling agent, and business aviation catering for owners who keep their own schedule. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering when a protocol trip comes through, and cabin crew meals are all ordered with the same brief.
Business jet catering at KWST starts with the aircraft type and the passengers' appetite. Corporate jet catering for a quick Rhode Island meeting is a cold box; VIP flight catering for a family weekend adds hot dishes. For charter flight catering we adapt to the operator, and our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for luxury inflight catering.
Government flight catering at Westerly State is rare but real: a protocol trip toward Newport or the coast can route through KWST. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared by protocol before anything is cooked, and state visit aircraft catering is handled by a named team with full traceability and discretion.
Westerly State is a seafood-first coast, so allergens hide in places a menu does not show: shellfish stock in the chowder, fried calamari sharing oil with clam cakes. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are built as a separate procedure, on their own board and in their own container.
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.
Pilots at Westerly State often wait out a coastal fog, so crew meals are ordered for the hours they will actually sit. Flight crew meals can be hot or cold, and pilot meals are packed so they eat from one hand. Crew catering is on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks for them. Cabin crew meals are listed apart from guest trays.
Catering delivery to the FBO at Westerly State is handled with your handling agent, who opens the gate to the apron. FBO catering is handed over at the aircraft, and the general aviation terminal is a short walk from the parking spot. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated on your slot.
Westerly State sees mostly light and mid-size jets, so galley catering rarely needs a high loader. When a larger aircraft comes through for a Rhode Island event, airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is sized to the galley the type actually has.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.

Westerly State Airport serves Westerly and the Rhode Island shore. It is a general aviation airport with a single runway, used by private owners and charter operators. As a seasonal business aviation hub for the coast, it keeps airport catering built around the FBO and the apron.
Westerly State is a seasonal general aviation airport: quiet in winter, busy from June. Business aviation catering rises with it, with inflight catering and in-flight catering for shore weekends, aviation catering, executive jet catering, and diplomatic flight catering on request. Cabin crew meals are listed apart, and FBO services and ground handling services stay constant.
The United States restricts certain imported meats, dairy and fresh produce, and that matters when an aircraft arrives at Westerly State from abroad, because the business aviation hub here clears customs by declaration. Declare fresh items on arrival; domestic catering packed locally avoids the question.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Several practical details needed attention at KWST, with a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides requested for 8 guests and two separate meal services to accommodate. Our brief for private jet catering services was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation. After a final adjustment to the crew provisions, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the salads was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”
“For 8 passengers departing from WST, the agreed menu was a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. I want a private jet catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in individual containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the snack boxes as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at Westerly State Airport: vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 6 guests, organised with a family lunch request in mind. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the side dishes before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the desserts to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at final order confirmation after this experience.”
Pricing at KWST is built from the menu you choose. Special meals such as vegan, gluten free or a child's plate are added line by line, and the total reflects how many covers and which local products you pick.
A waiting crew changes the order. At Westerly State we pack for the hours they will really spend on the ground, so lead time follows duty time, and late orders are handled.
A quick departure slot at KWST leaves little time to clear food, so declare what is on board. US customs restricts certain imported meats and produce, and our domestic catering avoids the question entirely.
Yes, guests do bring their own food, though a local favourite like clam cakes arrives better from us. We re-plate it for the galley you have.
No, the private jet charter does not cover food. At Westerly we quote catering on its own, and domestic packing avoids import questions.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
