Catering to your aircraft in Devonport.
Devonport Airport (YDPO) sits on Tasmania's north-west coast, where cool air and short sectors shape every turnaround. We cook and pack for your galley, with Tasmanian produce and crew meals ready for the flight deck.
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.

Tasmania's north-west is farm and fishing country, and a private jet menu from Devonport reads like it. A private jet menu here leans on Tasmanian salmon, Bass Strait crayfish and Pacific oysters from the island's cold water, with creamy local cheeses and leatherwood honey as finishing touches. Tasmania is where the local specialities come from, and we pack them for a galley: seafood chilled and sealed, cheese boards cut per guest, berries kept apart.
Private jet food at Devonport should taste of Tasmania, not of a generic airport kitchen. Our inflight menu draws on local specialities: smoked salmon, wallaby carpaccio for adventurous guests, Tasmanian cheddar, Huon-valley apples in season. Private jet platters travel Chilled, hot dishes get an Oven finish, and gourmet inflight meals are plated for your seat plan. Private jet snacks come from the same producers: leatherwood honey bites, shortbread, nuts.

Devonport Airport (YDPO) sits on Tasmania's north-west coast at 33 ft elevation, a regional field where business jets arrive for Cradle Mountain trips, salmon-farm visits and Bass Strait crossings. Private jet catering here means Tasmanian produce packed for your galley: inflight catering built on local seafood and dairy, in-flight catering sorted by seat number, and aviation catering that stays with the aircraft. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same plane-side handover, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order.
Executives landing at Devonport (YDPO) often want something Tasmanian. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here can mean a seafood platter, VIP flight catering with local cheese, or charter flight catering for a family.

Special meals at Devonport start with the local kitchen: dairy and seafood are everywhere in Tasmania, so allergen free handling is a procedure with a separate board and sealed box, not a label.

Crew meals are on request and billed with the order; flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed, labelled and kept apart from guest trays.

Cabin crew meals appear as their own line on the invoice.
At Devonport (YDPO), the catering reaches you through the FBO or the general aviation terminal, and the handling agent opens the gate. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are the standard routes, with ground handling catering and handling agent catering coordinated around your slot.
Devonport is a regional field, and most business jets here load by hand through the cabin door. Larger aircraft need a high loader booked through your handling agent, and the galley catering plan changes with it: airside catering delivery is sized to the door and the cart. For aircraft provisioning, tell us the type and where the galley sits, and we pack accordingly.

Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Clear quantities were essential at DPO: we had 11 passengers expecting vegetarian wraps and colourful salads and were working around an evening cabin service. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure. The Galley Girls updated the side dishes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the snack boxes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
“My order at Devonport Airport covered a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of several individual meal preferences. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the starters to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the crew provisions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. For private jet catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“Our priority at YDPO was yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 5 passengers, with several individual meal preferences shaping the service plan. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sandwiches clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the sauces to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. My main takeaway from this private jet catering services order was the practical approach to catering handover.”
An early morning slot at YDPO often means breakfast on board, which is cheaper than a plated seafood dinner. How much does private jet catering cost? It varies with product and headcount; a night or dawn slot just changes what is packed.
If your leg out of Devonport needs a dinner and a breakfast, order both together. We pack each service in its own box, with oven items marked. Lead time is easiest when we know the tail and slot, but last-minute requests are treated as normal here.
Customs and quarantine in Australia are tight on meat, dairy and produce. A special-meal request at Devonport is prepared locally, so nothing imported enters the cabin. Tell us the restriction and seat number and we mark the tray.
Bring dry goods if you must, but fresh items will be questioned at customs. The better route is one local product on the menu, such as Tasmanian oysters or leatherwood honey, packed by us and handed over at the aircraft.
Catering stays outside the charter agreement and has its own invoice. Seasonal weather at Devonport, such as spring gales or winter cloud, can push a departure; send us updated times and the order follows.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
