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

Coonamble on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at CNB

Coonamble is wheat, wool and lamb country in north-western New South Wales, and the private jet menu for Coonamble Airport leans on it. Local specialities here travel well: slow-cooked lamb shoulder, a salad of Pilliga-region greens, and a plain damper-style bread that survives a drawer. For private jet food on a short regional leg the inflight menu stays simple, so every dish is built to be plated by one person in a tight galley.

Local specialities from New South Wales decide the private jet menu at YCNM. Western plains lamb, citrus from the inland irrigation districts and grain breads shape the inflight menu, and private jet food is packed to sit chilled or finish in the oven. The region is rural, so the menu is honest and unfussy, and Coonamble produce is worth naming.

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

Coonamble Airport sits at 604 feet on the Castlereagh plains of New South Wales, a strip where turboprops and light jets arrive between sheep stations and shearing sheds. Private jet catering here is built around one brief: a galley that is small or absent, and a handover at the FBO. For inflight catering and in-flight catering we cook, pack and label, and aviation catering for YCNM is ordered and invoiced as its own line. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same rule, diplomatic flight catering is handled with protocol first, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Coonamble Airport (CNB)

A typical Coonamble trip is a small group heading to a property or a meeting, often in a turboprop or light jet with a compact galley. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here mean cold plates that need no oven and a few hot dishes that finish in a single one. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same brief, luxury inflight catering is kept simple and local, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your headcount.

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Coonamble Airport

When an official party lands at a regional field, discretion is the order. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering run through a named team, and state visit aircraft catering is confirmed with protocol before anything is prepared.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Coonamble Airport (CNB): delivery to your aircraft

Your handling agent meets us at the gate and walks the boxes to the apron. FBO catering at Coonamble is a short hand-carry, catering delivery to the FBO is booked with the slot, and the general aviation terminal is where ground handling catering begins. Handling agent catering is by phone or email.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Coonamble Airport (YCNM)

Coonamble Airport receives smaller aircraft, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand rather than lifted by a high loader. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO or your handling agent to the foot of the aircraft, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the galley you have: one oven, a drawer, or nothing at all. Send us the aircraft type and we size every dish to what that galley can hold.

About the airportYCNM / CNB

About Coonamble Airport (CNB): airport catering for business aviation

YCNM is a regional strip with a modest terminal and a runway built for light aircraft. Airport catering is arranged through FBO services and ground handling services, and general aviation is the main traffic. It is a small business aviation hub rather than a busy one.

Business aviation

Coonamble sits at 604 feet on open farmland, so wind and heat decide the day. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are cooked for hot afternoons and cold dawns. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are arranged ahead, executive jet catering is kept compact, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight.

Customs & food import

Australia enforces strict biosecurity on food, and rules apply when you arrive from overseas or leave on an international leg. Local produce sourced in New South Wales helps keep the order clean, and uneaten fresh items may be removed on arrival. Tell us the next airport and we plan around it.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Packing prawn salad and small fruit plates for 6 passengers at Coonamble Airport needed careful thought, especially given different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the snack boxes, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. This experience of crew meals gave us a useful reference for managing final order confirmation on another departure. The cabin team could match the crew provisions to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 3 guests at YCNM, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a late menu amendment. I would discuss FBO catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the snack boxes could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the fruit plates ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Menu approval at CNB covered a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 7 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a revised passenger count. My main takeaway from this airport catering order was the practical approach to catering handover. I wanted clear identification on the crew provisions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the desserts at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Ordering for YCNM, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost on a light turboprop into Coonamble?+

Lamb shoulder for eight is a bigger line than a chilled platter for four, and that is the honest answer to how much private jet catering costs here. Aircraft type sets portion count and format, and we confirm the total in writing.

What is the lead time for private jet catering on a night departure or early slot at Coonamble?+

Lead time at Coonamble is shorter to arrange when the order is narrow: a few dishes, one headcount. Complex menus take more preparation. Whatever the slot, last-minute orders are handled and we call back day or night.

Do customs rules affect catering on a long leg with two services on board out of Coonamble?+

The customs point at YCNM is biosecurity: whatever is left over may not be carried into another country or back in. For two services we size portions tightly, so little remains, and local products keep the paperwork clean.

Can you bring food of your own for a special-meal request at Coonamble, such as kosher or allergen free?+

For a child or a guest with an allergy, a pre-sealed meal is safer than a mixed galley. You are welcome to bring food, though we pack special meals to be opened and served without handling.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Coonamble, and can it feature local produce like lamb?+

Is catering part of a charter? Not here and not anywhere: it is a separate order. For Coonamble we often build it around slow-cooked New South Wales lamb because it holds in a drawer.
