Catering to your aircraft in Narrabri.
Narrabri is cotton and grain country, and the aircraft at YNBR are usually light jets with small galleys. We pack for that: compact boxes, cold boards and sealed hot trays, handed over at the FBO.
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.
{Region} in this part of the state means cotton, wheat and cattle, and the food follows. For Narrabri, the private jet menu starts with beef and lamb from the north-west slopes, then adds Namoi Valley vegetables, citrus and stone fruit when they are in season. Our inflight menu is written around these local specialities in New South Wales and then trimmed to what a light jet galley can handle. Private jet food here is simple and honest: a cold roast beef platter, a vegetable tart that goes in the oven, a fruit board. Private jet snacks cover the short sectors, such as nuts, cheese and fruit, while private jet platters and gourmet inflight meals are portioned per seat, labelled and packed so the crew only plate and serve.

Narrabri sits on the black soil of the Namoi Valley at 788 ft, and the aircraft that land at YNBR are mostly light jets and turboprops with galleys to match. Private jet catering here is built around that: compact boxes, cold boards that hold in a drawer, and sealed hot dishes for a single oven. Our former VIP flight attendants treat inflight catering and in-flight catering as the same job done carefully. Aviation catering for business aviation catering sorties, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering into New South Wales is brought to the FBO, and cabin crew meals are packed alongside on request.
Business jet catering at Narrabri usually serves agronomists, mining-support teams and corporate jet catering for a short sector in New South Wales. VIP flight catering here is understated: a clean cold board, a hot dish to finish, and a private jet chef who adjusts the bespoke menu to the galley. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same rule: small, labelled, easy to serve.
When a government aircraft lands at YNBR, the menu is agreed with the protocol office and the team handling it is named in advance. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are packed sealed and labelled, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered to the aircraft without fuss. Government flight catering stays private by design.
Special meals at Narrabri are handled as a procedure: kosher and halal sealed from the kitchen, vegan and gluten free prepared apart, and allergen free dishes packed with their own utensils. Local produce makes this easy, though dairy and nuts are common here. Kids meals are simple and cold.
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.
Ask for crew meals when you book the trip into YNBR and they are invoiced with the order. Flight crew meals can be cold or hot; pilot meals are something that eats well with one hand. Cockpit meals are packed separately from the cabin trays, crew catering for a long wait on the ground gets an extra tray, and crew meal boxes are marked. When the operator wants different meals for pilots, each flight deck member gets a box of their own, so nothing gets swapped on the apron at Narrabri.
At NAA the catering delivery to the FBO is the end of the chain: your handling agent opens the apron gate, we hand over the boxes at the general aviation terminal, and the crew load them. FBO catering and ground handling catering are agreed beforehand, with handling agent catering noted in the order.
Galley catering for light aircraft at Narrabri needs no high loader; boxes go through the door by hand. Airside catering delivery is simple, and aircraft provisioning for a larger type is arranged through your handling agent.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Narrabri Airport serves a town in north-west New South Wales ringed by cotton, wheat and cattle farms. General aviation is what keeps YNBR busy, so airport catering here is planned around the aircraft in front of you: FBO services at the terminal, ground handling services on the apron, and a business aviation hub role that is modest but steady.
Traffic at NAA follows the farming year: harvest, spraying and mining crews, with the odd corporate arrival. As a small business aviation hub, it handles general aviation movements with simple FBO services and ground handling services. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are packed the same way as at larger fields, aviation catering and business aviation catering are matched to the aircraft, executive jet catering is the usual request, diplomatic flight catering is occasional, and cabin crew meals and crew meals come on request.
Australian customs and biosecurity rules cover meat, dairy, fruit and honey. Narrabri sees mostly domestic general aviation, so the practical effect is that food from an overseas leg is cleared or disposed of through your handling agent and the FBO services before the onward sector, and our local catering replaces it. Ground handling services will tell you what the inspector expects.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“As the person coordinating mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 4 passengers at NAA, I needed an arrangement that considered a family lunch request. I asked The Galley Girls for the side dishes in separate meal boxes, 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. I want an inflight catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Narrabri Airport, with 4 servings of yoghurt pots and fresh berries and a short ground stop to consider. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the breakfast portions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience.”
“Menu approval at YNBR covered yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 11 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the crew provisions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Our brief for in-flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for written menu details. The snack boxes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
Price depends on the menu you choose and how many seats you feed, and at Narrabri the count is often settled late. Fruit boards and cheese plates flex easily; sealed hot dishes flex less. We tell you which items are cheap to adjust before you confirm.
Crews waiting on the ground at Narrabri have little to do, so we simplify: pre-labelled boxes, a short menu, one clear handover point. That keeps lead time practical rather than rigid, and last-minute orders are handled.
Customs and biosecurity rules in Australia mean uncleared food from an overseas leg may be seized or destroyed. If you reach Narrabri from another country via a port of entry, declare what is on board and let us restock for the onward flight.
You can bring your own food, and many crews do, but a return-leg order from YNBR saves repacking. We prepare cold items that hold well and a hot dish to finish, with the labels showing which sector they belong to.
No. Catering is not part of a private jet charter, even a short repositioning with an empty cabin. If the crew want meals for that sector we order and invoice them separately. Cabin crew meals can be added on request.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
