Catering to your aircraft in Gunnedah.
Gunnedah's apron sits at 863 ft over cotton and wheat country. When your trip lands here, we cook for the aircraft's galley and hand it over at your FBO, with crew meals on request.
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.
Gunnedah calls itself the Koala Capital of Australia and sits in the Namoi Valley, so the private jet menu here leans on what the Liverpool Plains grow and graze. Local specialities travel well in a galley: grass-fed beef from the district, lamb from the New England side, and Namoi cotton-country honey. Our inflight menu turns them into private jet platters you slice by passenger, cold and labelled.
Private jet food at Gunnedah follows the paddock: slow-roasted beef or lamb that finishes in the oven, a New South Wales cheese board, seasonal fruit from the Tamworth side of the state. Gourmet inflight meals are packed so the sauce stays apart, and private jet snacks are built around nuts, dried fruit and wattleseed shortbread, all local specialities of New South Wales.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
A short strip in wheat and cotton country, YGDH sees owner-pilots, agribusiness charters and the occasional visiting delegation. Our private jet catering for Gunnedah starts from the brief: in-flight catering for the cabin, aviation catering for the crew, executive jet catering for the principal, diplomatic flight catering when protocol applies, and cabin crew meals on request, all inside business aviation catering that suits a regional terminal.
Business jet catering at Gunnedah usually serves agribusiness teams, mining visitors and owner-pilots. Corporate jet catering here favours a tidy brief: VIP flight catering for the cabin, charter flight catering for hired aircraft, luxury inflight catering when guests expect it, a private jet chef for bespoke dinners, and a bespoke menu built around Namoi produce.
When a delegation lands at YGDH, the protocol office signs off the menu first. Our government flight catering team handles head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering quietly, and state visit aircraft catering is packed with full traceability.
Special meals at Gunnedah are handled from the cook line: kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free packed in sealed boxes, allergen free dishes kept apart from guest trays, and kids meals made for small appetites.
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 long hold at YGDH, crew meals matter most. We build flight crew meals and pilot meals that eat well in a cockpit, crew catering for the whole team, crew meal boxes that keep, and different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cockpit meals stay sealed until needed; all of it is on request.
Out at YGDH there is one general aviation terminal and a small apron, so FBO catering is a simple handover: we pass the boxes to the FBO or to your handling agent, and they carry them to the aircraft door. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed with ground handling catering staff before you land, and handling agent catering covers the airside walk. Last-minute changes are handled, by phone or email, 24/7.
A larger aircraft arriving at YGDH changes the loading: galley catering is staged by trolley or van, airside catering delivery is cleared with the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the door height of your type.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

YGDH is a regional strip at 863 ft, used for general aviation and occasional charters into the Liverpool Plains. Airport catering for GUH has to fit a small terminal and a short turnaround on the apron.
As a business aviation hub of rural New South Wales, Gunnedah blends general aviation with seasonal charters. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here lean on aviation catering and business aviation catering built for light jets, with executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals added on request, alongside FBO services and ground handling services.
Australia's biosecurity rules are the main food constraint at GUH. Overseas arrivals declare food on board, domestic legs are simpler, and we plan the order so nothing is held at the apron.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 5 people at GUH had to be organised around a late menu amendment. I asked The Galley Girls for the desserts in stackable containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the crew provisions as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. Our brief for VIP flight catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover.”
“Keeping the galley organised at Gunnedah Airport meant planning a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 11 guests with a family lunch request in mind. The sandwiches came from The Galley Girls in sealed meal containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. With charter flight catering, careful attention to final order confirmation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. I could hand the sauces to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
“A request for herb chicken with a quinoa salad, 3 passengers, and a changing departure schedule: that was our brief for the departure at YGDH. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet food was how they handled crew briefing. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. It was useful to see the starters listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
Take two Gunnedah orders: a grain-season crew box and a full seated dinner for eight. They cost nothing alike. Tell us the cabin, the dishes and the diets, and we price private jet catering from there.
Seasonal windows decide departures at GUH more than any clock. We plan around your slot, accept last-minute changes, and confirm the menu with you by phone or email, 24/7.
Short answer on customs: domestic legs are simple, international arrivals are not. At Gunnedah, we work with your handling agent on access and we cook local so the galley stays within biosecurity rules.
Yes in principle, subject to biosecurity on international sectors. Where it falls apart is the late headcount change; we re-cook and re-pack for GUH and mark every tray.
Catering is a separate order here. When crew are held on the ground by duty time limits, a crew box on request, invoiced like everything else, keeps them fed.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
