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

The Argyle table, packed for private jet catering

Western Australia gives the Argyle table its character, and the Kimberley in particular. A private jet menu for Argyle Airport draws on what the north-west produces: barramundi from Kimberley waters, Broome pearl-meat-adjacent seafood such as Exmouth prawns, and beef from Kimberley and Pilbara stations. Local specialities travel well when they are chosen for the galley: barramundi fillets cook from the oven with the sauce apart, while station beef comes sliced and chilled. The inflight menu keeps native flavours light: lemon myrtle, bush tomato and Geraldton wax-style citrus notes in dressings. Private jet food from Western Australia also means mango season: Kimberley mangoes in the warm months, packed whole or cut and chilled. Private jet platters of fruit, cheese and cured meat suit the heat, gourmet inflight meals of barramundi or lamb suit the long sector, and private jet snacks such as macadamias and dried mango fill the gaps.

Western Australia is a state of long distances, and Argyle, deep in the East Kimberley, shows it: fresh supply is limited and menus are built on what keeps. Our private jet menu for Argyle favours Western Australian produce that holds up in a galley drawer: Margaret River cheeses and olives, Great Southern lamb, Shark Bay and Exmouth seafood, and Kimberley barramundi. The inflight menu splits cleanly into chilled courses and oven courses. Local specialities include damper-style bread rolls, bush-spice rubs and pearl-region seafood. Private jet food here must also respect Australian biosecurity, so fresh produce is chosen with arrival rules in mind. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all follow the same logic: simple, labelled, and ready to re-plate.

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

Argyle Airport sits at 522 ft in the East Kimberley, a remote strip built to serve the diamond mine, and almost nothing in the surrounding country can be sourced on the day. Private jet catering for YARG/GYL is therefore planned before the aircraft leaves, packed for the galley you actually fly, and handed over to your handling agent. Inflight catering for these legs usually means a cold lunch and a hot dish that finishes in the oven, while business aviation catering and executive jet catering for charters follow the same brief. In-flight catering for the return sector gets its own labelled box. Aviation catering, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations and cabin crew meals are all ordered and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Argyle (YARG)

A typical business jet catering brief at Argyle starts with who is flying: mine executives, charter parties, visiting guests. Corporate jet catering here is built on the aircraft's galley, VIP flight catering follows protocol, charter flight catering suits one-off groups, and luxury inflight catering for the Kimberley uses barramundi, mango and Western Australian cheeses. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what the drawer and oven can do.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Argyle Airport (YARG)

At Argyle the nearest specialist supplier is a long way away, so special meals are agreed before the aircraft leaves: kosher and halal plates arrive sealed and labelled, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards, and kids meals travel in their own box. Allergen free requests are written against the Australian food labelling habits you will find on local produce such as macadamia, which is a common nut allergen here, so the procedure names it and keeps it out of the box.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Argyle Airport

Argyle is a remote strip, and the aircraft type decides how the load goes on: a light jet takes boxes through the door by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader or steps at the airside position. We match galley catering to the galley you have, airside catering delivery follows your handling agent's access, and aircraft provisioning is packed to be passed up in order, ice and chilled items last.

About the airportYARG / GYL

About Argyle Airport (GYL): airport catering for business aviation

Argyle Airport (YARG/GYL) is a remote airfield in the East Kimberley of Western Australia, built for the Argyle diamond mine. Airport catering here is a planned job, general aviation traffic is mostly charter and mine-related, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged ahead.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is too grand for Argyle, yet inflight catering for mine charters, in-flight catering for tour groups and aviation catering for crews all pass through. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same brief, diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible, and cabin crew meals are ordered like any other.

Customs & food import

Australian customs and biosecurity apply at Argyle: fresh fruit, meat, dairy and plant material are restricted, and international sectors need declared, sealed catering. A domestic leg is simpler. Tell us the next country and we pack for it.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Despite a tight boarding window, we wanted the 6 guests at GYL to enjoy grilled salmon with a lemon dressing without a complicated cabin service. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the main courses readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. This experience of charter flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure. That left time to check the snack boxes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“It was the packing plan I cared about at Argyle Airport, with 6 servings of a mezze selection with flatbreads and limited fridge space to consider. My main takeaway from this private jet food order was the practical approach to portion planning. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sauces, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The canapés went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

Sergei B. | Chief cabin officer

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 9 passenger portions of roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings were the easy part; managing a revised passenger count at YARG took more planning. Our brief for private jet meals was met with a sensible plan for catering handover. The main courses came from The Galley Girls in stackable containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the side dishes in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

Ordering for YARG, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short turnaround at Argyle?+

Budget for private jet catering at Argyle by menu, not by head: a chilled platter and snacks sit at one end, a three-course plated dinner with local barramundi at the other. The departure slot and the galley size decide how complex the packing is, and that is priced into the quote.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Argyle?+

What shortens the planning here is knowing the aircraft type and its galley. A drawer-only light jet gets a cold menu; a cabin with an oven gets hot courses. Last-minute orders are handled at Argyle, and a short message with the type is enough to start.

What are the customs rules for inflight catering at Argyle for a night or early departure?+

Australia treats imported food seriously. On a morning departure from Argyle we keep fresh produce to a minimum for international legs and use cooked, sealed items, with the labels your agent will ask for.

Can you bring food on a long leg with two services at Argyle?+

Bringing your own is allowed, though customs on arrival may take it. With two services on board, a split menu works best: cold first, hot second. We can pack around what you bring or replace it entirely.

Is catering part of a charter into Argyle when we need kosher or allergen-free meals?+

Catering into Argyle is its own order. Allergens such as macadamia are common locally, so tell us which one applies and we will label and box accordingly, invoiced like the rest of the order.
