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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Moranbah (MOV)

Central Queensland cooks for people who work outdoors, and a private jet menu for Moranbah follows that: generous, savoury, built to be eaten after a long day on site. The inflight menu draws on Queensland beef from the Central Highlands, barramundi from the northern coast, and macadamias and mangoes from the Queensland growing belt. Private jet food from this region has to survive heat on the apron, so the local specialities travel chilled, sealed and plated in the galley.

For Queensland and the Bowen Basin, private jet platters lean on beef, seafood and tropical fruit. Gourmet inflight meals can carry grilled barramundi, slow-cooked beef and a lamington for the end of the flight. Private jet snacks are macadamias, Anzac biscuits and fruit. Each local speciality is packed to leave the cold chain intact until the cabin.

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

Moranbah sits at 770 ft in the heart of the Bowen Basin, where the apron fills with charters serving the coal mines and the crews arrive in dust, heat and a hurry. Private jet catering here has to be sealed, cold-stable and easy to re-plate in a small galley, and we pack it that way. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights follow the same rule, and so does aviation catering for the mining rotations. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders arrive with the tail and the headcount, and diplomatic flight catering is handled with the same discretion when a state party transits. Cabin crew meals ride in the same delivery, labelled CREW.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Moranbah (YMRB)

A typical Moranbah brief involves a corporate jet carrying a small group to a mine site, with a short galley and a plan for a return the same day. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering stay light: chilled plates, a hot item for the oven, and sauces in their own pots. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering can step up to luxury inflight catering when guests expect it, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around your galley.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Moranbah Airport (YMRB)

Special meals at Moranbah are prepared on a separate board and sealed on their own, because remote Queensland has few fallback options once the aircraft is on the ground. Kosher and halal meals travel factory-sealed with their own cutlery. Vegan and gluten free plates are cooked apart from meat and wheat, allergen free requests are traced back to each ingredient, and kids meals arrive in a smaller portion with a simple, familiar menu. Send the restrictions with the order and each tray is marked by seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Moranbah (YMRB)

Out of the drawer and onto the jumpseat: that is how crew catering works at YMRB. Crew meals are a catalogue item ordered with the flight and charged as such. Flight crew meals are labelled CREW, pilot meals are kept off the guest trays, cockpit meals come in crew meal boxes that open easily, and different meals for pilots are available so captain and first officer never share a dish.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Moranbah Airport

Moranbah is a general aviation field, so most charters are light and mid-size jets or turboprops with a galley you can reach by hand. For larger aircraft, galley catering is loaded using a high loader arranged through your handling agent, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with the apron schedule. Aircraft provisioning for the bigger types is confirmed against the door height before anything is packed.

About the airportYMRB / MOV

About Moranbah Airport (YMRB): aviation catering and general aviation

Moranbah Airport serves the town and the surrounding coal-mining region in central Queensland. Airport catering here is practical: a general aviation field with a regional terminal, FBO services for charters, and ground handling services on request. The airport works as a business aviation hub for the Bowen Basin.

Business aviation

Inflight catering at Moranbah serves mine-linked charters, and in-flight catering fits the same galley. Aviation catering and business aviation catering orders are confirmed with the handling agent, executive jet catering follows the aircraft's equipment, diplomatic flight catering is available for government movements, and cabin crew meals are delivered with the order.

Customs & food import

Australia applies strict biosecurity controls, and customs treat food from overseas with care. Catering loaded in Moranbah for a domestic flight is routine, while international legs call for planning so leftovers do not need to be carried across the border.

5.0 / 5

Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.

Leave a review

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Several practical details needed attention at Moranbah Airport, with vegetarian wraps and colourful salads requested for 9 guests and a small galley worktop to accommodate. For in-flight catering services, that attention to meal organisation made the order noticeably easier to manage. The snack boxes from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Marine H. | Royal family manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Our priority at YMRB was vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 8 passengers, with two separate meal services shaping the service plan. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the sandwiches into shallow trays that were easy to handle. I could hand the fruit plates to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Alexei C. | Chief flight attendant

Gulfstream G650ER

★★★★★CHARTER

“Getting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing ready for 9 guests at MOV required an order that accounted for a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the fruit plates, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the breakfast portions before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering services.”

Before you order at YMRBAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Moranbah?+

There is no single answer without the menu. Tell us whether the flight needs a kosher plate, a halal tray or an allergen-safe meal, and we price those lines individually, then add the rest of the order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Moranbah?+

One local product decides a lot: if you want fresh barramundi or mango, tell us early so we can source them well. Otherwise, last-minute orders at Moranbah are handled and confirmed with your handling agent.

What do customs mean for catering at Moranbah?+

Australia has strict biosecurity rules, and they matter most on international legs. Catering loaded here for a domestic flight is simple, but anything arriving from abroad may be subject to inspection or disposal. Wet-season weather can also delay departures, so we pack for flexibility.

Can you bring food on board at Moranbah?+

Personal food is allowed in principle, but anything from abroad risks being removed. Ordering locally lets your handling agent clear the delivery and keeps the galley in order.

Is catering part of a charter into Moranbah?+

Not as standard. A private jet charter into Moranbah does not carry the menu with it, so food is a distinct order. Passenger changes are handled up to departure.
