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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Broken Hill

Broken Hill sits in the far west of New South Wales, and the table here is outback table: lamb, kangaroo, native herbs and the bread of a mining town. The private jet menu we build for YBHI leans on these local specialities, packed so they survive a dry-air cabin. A private jet food order from Broken Hill might start with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, sliced cold for the drawer, then a bush-tomato relish in its own pot. The inflight menu keeps seafood out of the centre of the plate: the coast is a long way away, so we choose what the region does well.

For private jet platters, think cold roast lamb with mint and native pepperberry, smoked kangaroo loin, and a board of Australian cheeses with muscatels. Gourmet inflight meals for Broken Hill lean warm and plain after a long flight: a lamb pie, a barramundi fillet that holds its sauce apart. Private jet snacks run to macadamias, lamington and local honey cake. The local specialities of the New South Wales interior suit a galley with one oven, and the inflight menu is written around that. Order a private jet menu for BHQ and the dishes travel plated or boxed.

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

Broken Hill sits on a flat red plain in far western New South Wales, and a private jet landing at YBHI finds an airport with no big terminal queue and no crowd at the apron. Private jet catering here is built around that: a small galley list, a handling agent at the aircraft, and a menu that holds in dry desert air. For inflight catering and in-flight catering alike, the brief starts with tail, slot and headcount. We run aviation catering and business aviation catering for executive jet catering flights, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals, written by former VIP flight attendants.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Broken Hill Airport (YBHI)

Special meals at YBHI are a procedure, not a label. Kosher and halal orders for Broken Hill are agreed ahead and packed sealed, since meat here is mostly lamb and beef. Vegan and gluten free plates keep to their own board and box, and allergen free meals are packed apart from the main trays. Kids meals are simple: plain pasta, fruit, sliced roast chicken. Nothing on a passenger tray is a guess; the carton states the restriction, and the seat number marks the guest.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Broken Hill Airport (YBHI)

At BHQ, FBO catering arrives through the general aviation terminal and reaches the aircraft with the handling agent. Ground handling catering is coordinated with the agent on duty, and catering delivery to the FBO stays in line with your slot. Handling agent catering at YBHI is a short walk to the apron.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Broken Hill Airport (BHQ)

Broken Hill sees small and mid-size business jets far more than wide-bodies, so the galley decides the order. Galley catering for a light jet is boxed to fit a drawer; for a larger cabin on the apron we plan for the aircraft's own galley layout. Airside catering delivery runs through the handling agent, who brings the trolleys or boxes to the door. Aircraft provisioning at YBHI is done in daylight or under the apron lights, with the aircraft type deciding the door and the loading method.

About the airportYBHI / BHQ

About Broken Hill Airport (YBHI): aviation catering and general aviation

YBHI sits at 958 feet above sea level on dry open ground in New South Wales. The airport is used by regional airlines, charters and corporate aircraft visiting mines and stations. Airport catering at Broken Hill is built around a short apron and a quiet general aviation setting.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Broken Hill is driven by mining and station visits, with general aviation traffic on the same field. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are written for small cabins, and aviation catering follows the aircraft type. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering suit a corporate trip, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are ordered ahead. FBO services and ground handling services keep the apron simple, and the airport is a quiet business aviation hub for the interior.

Customs & food import

Customs and quarantine rules in Australia apply at YBHI as elsewhere: declare food on arrival and expect inspection of fresh produce. Our catering is sourced locally, which is the cleanest route for a departing aircraft, and any international leftovers are disposed of under biosecurity rules.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“As the person coordinating chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 3 passengers at BHQ, I needed an arrangement that considered a family lunch request. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about final order confirmation. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the fruit plates could be arranged during service. Keeping the sandwiches aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
Alexandre Y. | Government flight manager

★★★★☆VIP AIRLINER
“Our priority at Broken Hill Airport was vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 4 passengers, with different crew meal preferences shaping the service plan. The order made private jet catering menu feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand. I asked The Galley Girls to review the side dishes quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. It was useful to see the fruit plates listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
Mila O. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Having 11 guests request fresh fruit and breakfast pastries at YBHI meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a family lunch request. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the fruit plates had been grouped. The cabin team could match the sandwiches to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. Our brief for private aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement.”

The Broken Hill questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation flying into Broken Hill?+

A delegation flight into BHQ is priced on its own: protocol, a named catering lead, and a menu that stays traceable. Local lamb and Murray cod are costed per dish, not per head. Send the tail and the slot and the quote follows, the same way as any other order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when the turnaround at YBHI is short?+

A short turnaround at Broken Hill suits a cold lunch that waits in the drawer, or a hot dish already cooked and sealed. We take late orders and work from the slot you give us. Lead time is a question of the menu, not the paperwork.

What do customs require for inflight catering on an aircraft arriving at Broken Hill, and does the galley size matter?+

Before you bring anything into Australia, know that quarantine officers inspect food at the aircraft. Ordering locally for a Broken Hill departure sidesteps customs, and the aircraft type tells us how to pack: one oven or two, a drawer or a cart.

Can you bring food on board for a night departure or early morning slot from Broken Hill?+

Yes, you can bring food, but customs will inspect it on arrival, and some items may be taken. For a pre-dawn departure from YBHI we pack a breakfast plate, a thermos-friendly soup and cold fruit, all handled by your handling agent.

Is catering part of a charter into Broken Hill when the leg is long and two services are needed?+

Not by default: private jet charter into YBHI is the aircraft and crew, while meals are commanded apart and invoiced apart. Two services on one leg means two boxes, each marked, and a cold second meal for the later hours.
