Catering to your aircraft in Albany.
At Albany, a south coast field at 233 ft, the rhythm is seasonal: winter swell, spring wildflowers, summer holidays. We prepare private jet catering and crew meals for ALH and hand them over through your FBO.
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.
Our private jet menu for Albany is drawn from Western Australia's Great Southern rather than from a generic list. The region's cool coast gives King George whiting, Albany oysters, abalone in season and prime lamb, while the Denmark and Mount Barker districts supply cheese, cold-pressed oils and cool-climate wine.
An inflight menu from Albany is built around how things behave in a galley. Raw shellfish stays Chilled, whiting is pan-finished in the oven, lamb is sliced and re-plated cold, and sauces travel in their own pots. Private jet food that holds its shape through a climb is chosen over anything delicate.
These local specialities are grouped below as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks. Western Australia has strong produce all year, and we adapt the selection to the season and the cabin.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Albany sits on the south coast of Western Australia at 233 ft, and most business aviation arrives for whale season, wine tours or Great Southern station stays. Private jet catering here follows the produce of the region: Albany rock oysters, Denmark cheese and Porongurup wine, packed for the galley you actually have. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for a light jet differ from what a larger cabin needs, and our aviation catering for business aviation catering runs is written by former VIP flight attendants. We also build executive jet catering for owners on the Perth–Albany run, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations, and cabin crew meals packed apart from the guest trays.
A weekend run into Albany Airport usually means four to eight guests, a light or midsize jet and a menu with local produce. Business jet catering draws on the Great Southern, corporate jet catering favours simple cold boxes, VIP flight catering adds whiting or lamb, and charter flight catering respects the operator's galley. Luxury inflight catering is possible, and your private jet chef writes a bespoke menu.
Government flight catering at Albany is handled with discretion and protocol first. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering for visiting delegations run through a named team and a single contact. State visit aircraft catering is cleared with your office before any cooking starts, and the handover is quiet and exact.
Albany's produce makes most dietary requests straightforward, and each one is handled as a procedure rather than a promise. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed and separate, vegan and gluten free dishes are built around local vegetables and grains, and allergen free orders are prepared away from shellfish and nut stations, which matter on this coast. Special meals for children and kids meals are also written per seat. Cards carry the seat number and the restriction, so you can serve without asking.
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.
On a Perth–Albany rotation the crew eats on the move, so crew meals are boxed to open and finish in seconds. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering are ordered with the trip and billed with it. Cockpit meals travel in sealed crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots if you ask.
FBO catering at Albany is handed over to your handling agent or the general aviation terminal, then carried to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged around your slot, with ground handling catering agreed in advance. Handling agent catering is a short conversation: tail, slot and access point.
Business jets at Albany are mostly light and midsize, so galley catering is carried to the aircraft door rather than lifted by a high loader. When a larger type comes in, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent and sized to the galley fittings. Aircraft provisioning at YABA starts from the type: oven or no oven, drawer count, and how much chilled space the crew actually has.

Albany Airport (YABA / ALH) is the regional airport for Western Australia's south coast. Airport catering is arranged around general aviation traffic, FBO services and ground handling services, with the airport acting as a modest business aviation hub for the Great Southern.
Most business aviation at Albany is Perth traffic, whale-watching groups and Great Southern wine tours. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for light jets stay modest; aviation catering and business aviation catering scale up for larger types. Executive jet catering suits owner flights, diplomatic flight catering suits visiting delegations, and cabin crew meals are packed separately.
Australian biosecurity governs what can enter or leave on an aircraft, and Albany follows the national rules. Fresh meat, dairy and produce from overseas may be restricted; we source locally for departing legs and flag anything that needs declaring.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Having 2 guests request mushroom risotto and a green salad at YABA meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for several individual meal preferences. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the snack boxes, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the sandwiches before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I want a private jet chef to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 12 guests, but a small galley worktop also had to be considered when organising a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides at ALH. The Galley Girls grouped the main courses by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. We left the starters stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. This experience of in flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure.”
“Rather than an elaborate service at Albany Airport, our 12 guests wanted a charcuterie board and fresh bread, organised sensibly around two separate meal services. The Galley Girls suggested divided catering boxes for the starters, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering services. I could hand the main courses to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
On a repositioning flight with no passengers, you pay for what you load. For Albany that often means crew meal boxes and some snacks, priced per menu. Oysters or lamb for guests raise the cost; simple cold boxes for the crew keep it low.
A delegation into Albany works best with the headcount, restrictions and slot sent as soon as they are known. We confirm the menu with your office, and late changes are accepted without drama.
A long turnaround gives more room, a short one gives less. Either way, Australian biosecurity affects what leaves and what stays aboard. We pack for the leg, and your handling agent advises on anything the aircraft carries in.
Yes, with the usual Australian limits on fresh produce. What matters more is the galley: oven, no oven, drawer count. We pack for the aircraft you are flying, so even your own items fit.
A private jet charter does not bring catering with it. At Albany we take food orders for any slot, including overnight departures, and invoice them on their own.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
