Catering to your aircraft in Laverton.
YLTN is a working outback airfield, with mining charters and exploration parties as the regulars. Our job is to put a proper meal in the galley, so that when you land at Laverton the tray is ready, not improvised.
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 at Laverton a short list of things worth carrying: lamb from the wheatbelt, Shark Bay and Abrolhos seafood, Margaret River cheese and wine-region produce, and bush flavours such as wattleseed and quandong. Our inflight menu is built from these local specialities, so the private jet food on board tastes like Western Australia, not like a generic tray. Private jet platters travel chilled, hot dishes finish in the aircraft oven, and gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are packed for the Goldfields heat. Every dish is a local speciality described by how it survives a galley.
In Western Australia, Laverton orders lean on what the state grows and catches: wheatbelt lamb, Abrolhos rock lobster, Albany and Denmark dairy, Swan Valley fruit. The private jet menu is written from those local specialities and the inflight menu follows the cabin: private jet platters for the table, gourmet inflight meals for the seated service, private jet snacks for the long outback sectors. Private jet food here is chosen to hold up in dry heat, with sauces apart and cold items boxed separately, and Western Australia produce is substituted when a season runs short.

Laverton sits at 1,530 ft in the Western Australia Goldfields, and a tail that lands on YLTN usually has nothing to buy on the ground once the doors open. That is where private jet catering earns its place: packed for the galley you have, with inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering handled in one order. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same brief, diplomatic flight catering gets its own protocol, and cabin crew meals ride along on request.
Executives and geologists flying into YLTN are served the same way: business jet catering with a bespoke menu, corporate jet catering that suits a short turn, and charter flight catering with VIP flight catering for guests. A private jet chef writes the menu, and luxury inflight catering stays within what your galley can finish.
When an official party lands at YLTN, state visit aircraft catering is cleared by protocol before anything is cooked. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering use a small team, and VIP aviation catering stays confidential.
Special meals at Laverton are a procedure, not a label. The Goldfields kitchen reality is simple: allergens hide in marinades and seed crusts, and shellfish sits close to everything. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each prepared and packed on their own, sealed, marked by seat number, and handed to your handling agent in one separate box.
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.
For crews waiting on the ground at YLTN, crew meals are a separate line, on request. Flight crew meals travel in crew meal boxes, pilot meals and cockpit meals are kept simple, crew catering follows the roster, and different meals for pilots are agreed with the operator.
FBO catering at Laverton arrives at the general aviation terminal, with catering delivery to the FBO coordinated with your handling agent. Ground handling catering is passed airside, and handling agent catering stays one contact.
What the cabin can take decides how galley catering reaches the aircraft at YLTN. A light jet takes trolleys by hand through the door, a larger cabin may need a high loader, and at YLTN that is agreed with the handling agent before the slot. Airside catering delivery is made to the apron, and aircraft provisioning is matched to the galley fit: oven, drawer, chiller or none.

Laverton Airport serves the Goldfields as a small regional field. Airport catering here is delivered to an apron used by general aviation, with FBO services and ground handling services kept simple and a business aviation hub role limited to charters.
Laverton's traffic is mining and exploration, so inflight catering and in-flight catering are often ordered for charters that stay out of town. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are written per trip, executive jet catering suits smaller parties, diplomatic flight catering is rare, and cabin crew meals ride on request.
Western Australia follows national biosecurity rules, so fresh produce, meat and dairy brought in can be seized. For international arrivals, your handling agent coordinates clearance; ordering in country keeps the galley clean.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Packing a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 12 passengers at YLTN needed careful thought, especially given a changing departure schedule. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. I asked The Galley Girls for the starters in sealed meal containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the main courses aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at LVO: a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 6 guests, organised with a late menu amendment in mind. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about galley preparation. We changed the quantities of sauces, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the main courses against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Laverton Airport, with 12 servings of smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit and a changing departure schedule to consider. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the side dishes to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the main courses properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. For private jet catering menu, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
Cost depends on what you ask for, not on the airfield: a lobster salad priced in season differs from a platter of cold cuts. At YLTN the handling agent and airside access shape the order, since delivery crosses the apron, so we confirm access when we quote. You get one figure, invoiced on its own.
If passengers are added or dropped late, we rework the order rather than refuse it. Lead time at YLTN is about confirming the slot and the headcount, and last-minute changes are accepted.
If you arrive from abroad, customs inspection governs what leaves the aircraft. Otherwise crew duty time and waiting on the ground are the constraint at Laverton, and we plan meals around them.
Food import rules here are a reason to order locally: biosecurity can confiscate items carried in, and customs may inspect the galley. We provision from inside the country.
No, the charter does not cover meals. Order from Laverton for the return leg too, and we hand the second set over when the aircraft is ready.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
