Catering to your aircraft in Koodaideri Mine.
Koodaideri Mine Airport (OOD) is a remote Pilbara strip with no kitchen behind the apron, so the galley is stocked before you land. We cook and pack for your aircraft, and hand it over at the FBO or by your handling agent.
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.
Western Australia gives a private jet menu its backbone: Shark Bay and Albany seafood, Margaret River olive oil and wine country produce, Pilbara-grown citrus and native bush flavours such as wattleseed and lemon myrtle. For Koodaideri Mine and the wider Western Australia Pilbara, we build the inflight menu around what travels well in a galley with no kitchen behind it. Private jet food here leans on chilled platters and cold proteins, with one hot item finished in your oven. Local specialities such as marinated kangaroo loin, prawn and avocado salad, and a lamington-style dessert sit alongside private jet platters for the cabin. Gourmet inflight meals are portioned by seat, and private jet snacks (macadamia, dried mango, bush-spiced nuts) ride in a separate box for the long sector home.
A private jet menu for Koodaideri Mine starts with the state it serves. Western Australia is lobster, barramundi and rangeland beef country, with Perth bakeries and Swan Valley fruit close to every tray. Local specialities are chosen for how they survive a long apron wait and a dry cabin: cured and chilled items, firm salads, sauce apart. The inflight menu is written around Koodaideri Mine turnarounds, where the terminal has no restaurant and crew eat what the galley was stocked with. Private jet food here includes private jet platters of seafood and charcuterie, gourmet inflight meals for the main service, and private jet snacks for the crew rest between legs.

Koodaideri Mine Airport (OOD) is an inland strip in the Pilbara, 1,473 ft up, where the red dust gets into everything and the galley has to be sealed accordingly. Private jet catering here is built for a terminal with no restaurant behind it: everything you need for the sector is packed in advance, labelled by seat, and handed over at the aircraft. Our team of former VIP flight attendants writes the menu around your galley, whether that means inflight catering for a charter crew or in-flight catering for a mine executive group. We also provide aviation catering and cabin crew meals, ordered and invoiced like the rest of the order.
At Koodaideri Mine, business jet catering is usually a brief from a mining executive group or a corporate jet operator on a rotation. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same pattern: type, seats, slot. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu that survives a dry cabin and a remote apron, with corporate jet catering handled in the same order.
When a delegation lands at OOD, the question is who touches the food. Government flight catering is prepared by a named team, and head of state flight catering is traceable from ingredient to tray. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are agreed in advance, with discretion on a remote apron.
At Koodaideri Mine Airport, special meals are handled as a procedure, not a label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free trays are cooked on a separate board and packed in sealed boxes, with the restriction written on the lid. Kids meals travel the same way. In Western Australia, hidden allergens tend to sit in sauces, bush spice blends and nut-based desserts, so we flag each one before the order is closed.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at Koodaideri Mine are on request, ordered and invoiced with the rest. Flight crew meals matter here because there is nowhere to eat near the apron and duty time keeps running. Pilot meals are packed to be eaten in a seat, and cockpit meals travel in sealed crew meal boxes. Crew catering is simple to add to a trip order, and we can supply different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it, so captain and first officer never share a dish.
On a strip like OOD, the handling agent opens the door. Our FBO catering is packed for the general aviation terminal and passed over the apron to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed before the slot, with ground handling catering and handling agent catering sharing a single brief.
Aircraft type decides how the load reaches the cabin at Koodaideri Mine. A light jet takes trays by hand up the airstairs; a larger business jet may call for a high loader at the cargo door for galley catering. We confirm the door, the height and the equipment with your handling agent before the slot, so airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning arrive in one pass, on a remote apron where nobody can fetch a missing tray.

Koodaideri Mine Airport sits at 1,473 ft in Western Australia, serving an iron ore operation in the Pilbara. Airport catering is not available on site, which is why the order is built before you arrive. General aviation here is mine-linked traffic, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through your handling agent.
Business aviation hub is a stretch for a mine strip, but Koodaideri Mine does see charter and corporate movements, and inflight catering is built for them. In-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering are handled the same as anywhere. Executive jet catering suits the executive rotations, and diplomatic flight catering covers visiting delegations. Cabin crew meals complete the order.
Australian biosecurity is strict: fresh fruit, meat, dairy and plant material on an international arrival may be seized, and customs may inspect galley waste. Domestic legs within Western Australia are simpler, though a mine airfield may add its own access rules through the site operator. Tell us the sector and we pack to suit.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Before our guests boarded at OOD, we needed grilled salmon with a lemon dressing divided into 5 portions suitable for several individual meal preferences. I would discuss private jet menu with them again, especially when meal organisation needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the desserts before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the side dishes to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
“What impressed me at Koodaideri Mine Airport was how a request for a selection of petits fours and sandwiches was handled despite a short ground stop. The desserts supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the sauces without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I want a private jet chef to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 6 guests, but a small galley worktop also had to be considered when organising a charcuterie board and fresh bread at Koodaideri Mine Airport. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the side dishes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. For in flight catering, that attention to galley preparation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
Pricing follows the order itself. A local product such as kangaroo loin or Western Australian lobster moves the figure up; seasonal salads and chilled boards bring it down. The quote is built per menu and invoiced like the rest of your trip support.
The season decides more than the clock: heat, dust and storm risk can move a departure from Koodaideri Mine. We build the order around your slot, keep it adjustable, and treat last-minute requests as part of the job.
Airside access is the real gate at OOD, and it runs through your handling agent. They clear the delivery and meet the aircraft. Anything leaving or entering Australia on an international sector falls under biosecurity rules, which are strict on fresh food.
Personal food is allowed, but plan for the day the manifest grows. Crews at Koodaideri Mine often finalise numbers late, and we pack extra portions so nobody is short. Items brought from outside should follow Australian biosecurity rules on arrival.
No, it is a separate order. A private jet charter booking does not include meals, and on a remote strip with a long wait for the crew, having a tray ready is worth arranging. Crew meals are on request and invoiced like the rest.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
