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 Fort Drum brings to your in-flight catering (KGTB)

The New York table around Fort Drum is North Country food: dairy, maple, apples and game, cooked for people who work outdoors. Our private jet menu for Wheeler Sack Army Air Field leans on that. A private jet menu here might open with sharp New York cheddar and apple plates, then move to something hot and slow, like a beef braise or a maple-glazed salmon. Every inflight menu is written for the galley you actually have, so private jet food that needs an oven is marked, and what travels cold is boxed that way. The local specialities of New York State show up as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks that hold their shape in a cold hangar: apple and cheddar boards, venison sausage rolls, maple-cured turkey sandwiches, and Adirondack-style granola for the early departure. Fort Drum guests asking for something regional get it, labelled and packed for service in the cabin.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field (KGTB)

Wheeler Sack Army Air Field sits at 688 ft in the North Country of New York, and the winter ramp there is part of every galley plan. Private jet catering at KGTB is built around that cold: hot dishes packed to hold, cold plates that stay chilled, all of it handed over to your FBO. In the same spirit, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for Fort Drum flights follow the aircraft's galley, from business aviation catering for corporate trips to executive jet catering for small cabins. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are ordered the same way, with protocol and diet cards written before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field (KGTB)

Business jet catering at KGTB is usually for small cabins carrying executives, contractors or visiting officers, and the galley often has a single oven. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all start from that brief. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft type, the diets and the cold ramp. Luxury inflight catering here means a hot braise that finishes in your oven, with the sauce in its own pot.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field (KGTB)

At Fort Drum the dairy-heavy North Country kitchen is where allergens hide: butter in the roast, cheese in the sandwich, nuts in the maple granola. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are therefore handled as a procedure: separate board, separate box, seat number on the lid. Special meals for Wheeler Sack Army Air Field are confirmed with the order, so the galley opens one tray per guest and nothing gets crossed.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field (KGTB)

Flying into KGTB in winter, crew meals matter more than anyone admits. Flight crew meals are packed in crew meal boxes, hot and cold, on request and invoiced like the rest. Pilot meals are written so the two seats do not share a dish: different meals for pilots, as policy requires. Crew catering and cockpit meals are labelled, boxed apart from guest trays, and ready when the ramp is at its coldest.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field

At KGTB, catering delivery to the FBO goes through the same chain every time: the handling agent clears access, the order arrives at the general aviation terminal, and we hand it over at the aircraft. FBO catering and ground handling catering are agreed ahead, and handling agent catering keeps the ramp calm.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field

Wheeler Sack Army Air Field is a military field, and the aircraft that use it range from light jets to large transport types. Galley catering for KGTB starts with the type, because door height and galley layout decide whether the order comes in trolleys or boxes. Airside catering delivery is arranged through your FBO or handling agent, with access cleared before the vehicle moves. Aircraft provisioning for larger cabins uses a high loader; on a small jet, the order is carried to the door by hand.

About the airportKGTB

About Wheeler Sack Army Air Field: business aviation and airport catering

Also listed as GTB.

KGTB is the airfield at Fort Drum, an Army post in upstate New York, and it works as a small business aviation hub more than a conventional GA field. Military operations set the pace, and winter weather can move a departure without notice. Airport catering at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field is built around that: general aviation arrivals are cleared through the handling agent, and FBO services and ground handling services decide where the order is handed over.

Business aviation

For a field that works as a quiet business aviation hub, the traffic is small corporate jets parked among military aircraft. Aviation catering and business aviation catering for those cabins are packed for a single oven and a cold ramp, and inflight catering or in-flight catering is planned with FBO services and ground handling services in mind. Executive jet catering for contractors and diplomatic flight catering for official guests follow protocol and diet cards; cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed apart, on request.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from abroad fall under US food import rules: some meat, dairy and fresh produce can be restricted, and leftovers may have to be declared or discarded. At a military field like KGTB, your handling agent and the ground handling services confirm what is allowed before the order moves. We pack by category so inspection is straightforward, and FBO services at this business aviation hub can adapt the delivery to what is cleared.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“With an evening cabin service to consider at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field, we needed a practical way to serve a selection of petits fours and sandwiches to 11 passengers. I would discuss VIP flight catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the main courses could be arranged during service. We could finish the sauces as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

Pierre J. | Government flight manager

ACJ319

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Good preparation made the difference at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field, where 12 guests expected herb chicken with a quinoa salad despite a short ground stop. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the salads readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the sauces properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about charter flight catering.”

Elena K. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Choosing poached fish with steamed rice for 3 people at KGTB was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. We changed the quantities of starters, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. The order made private jet food feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand.”

Ordering for KGTB, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Wheeler Sack Army Air Field in a snowy week?+

A snow-delayed week is no excuse to guess the bill. For Wheeler Sack Army Air Field, how much private jet catering costs comes down to the menu you pick: cider doughnuts and cheddar cost little, hot mains and special diets cost more. We send a clear quote.

What lead time do you need for a return leg ordered from Fort Drum?+

Return legs from Fort Drum often change at the last minute, with a new slot or a new headcount. Lead time is flexible: tell us what changed and last-minute orders are handled, with the same diet cards and galley notes attached.

What do customs mean for catering on a night or early morning departure from KGTB?+

Customs on a dawn departure from Fort Drum is mostly about leftovers and fresh produce: the United States restricts certain meat, dairy and fruit on arrival from abroad. Our packaging separates categories to make inspection straightforward.

Can you bring food to Wheeler Sack Army Air Field yourself, or does the handling agent restrict airside access?+

Many crews do carry sandwiches aboard, and at Fort Drum that is allowed within normal rules, but anything larger depends on airside access, which the handling agent controls. A planned delivery avoids waiting at the gate.

Is catering part of a charter for a short repositioning flight into Fort Drum?+

Repositioning into Wheeler Sack Army Air Field does not change the rule: catering stays outside the charter contract. You order it on its own, and it is invoiced as its own line, whether the cabin is full or empty.
