Catering to your aircraft in Perth.
Jandakot is a light-aircraft field, and the meals leaving it are sized for small galleys. We cook and pack for the crew who will plate them, with Western Australian produce and a clear label on every box.
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.
Perth Jandakot is the gateway to Western Australia, and the menu follows the coast. Local specialities here include Shark Bay pearl meat, rock lobster, barramundi from the Kimberley and lamb from the Great Southern. Each one is packed according to how it finishes: some go in the oven, some stay chilled, some come with the sauce apart.
The inflight menu for a Perth departure starts with what the state grows and catches: fresh herbs from the Swan district, citrus from Harvey, WA wine for the cabin. A private jet menu built on that is cooked and packed on the ground, then re-plated by whoever is working the galley, and private jet food at YPJT stays simple enough for a small galley to finish.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Jandakot sits at 99 ft on the southern edge of Perth, a general aviation field where light jets and turboprops share the apron. Private jet catering at YPJT is built around that mix: small galleys, short slots, and Western Australian produce packed to suit each aircraft. We also cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for Perth departures, from a cold lunch to a hot dinner.
Business jet catering at Jandakot usually means a light or midsize jet with a compact galley and a short slot. Corporate jet catering for Perth leans on cold lunches and a hot main kept simple; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same logic. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around the guests, and luxury inflight catering here means a well-packed lobster salad, not a long list.
When a delegation lands in Western Australia, government flight catering means confidentiality and clean paperwork. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are planned with your protocol office; VIP aviation catering is handed over at the aircraft with no fuss.
Dietary requests at Jandakot are handled as a procedure, not a promise. Perth seafood, nuts and dairy are everywhere, so we separate allergen free preparation from the rest of the kitchen and mark each tray by seat. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are packed sealed, special meals and kids meals go on their own card, and nothing is opened until the galley.
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.
Pilot meals and flight crew meals are a separate line on the order, requested and invoiced as you would any other item. Crew catering at YPJT covers crew meal boxes, cockpit meals packed to be eaten between tasks and different meals for pilots when policy requires it. Crew meals can be hot or cold, and for a small galley we pack accordingly.
FBO catering at Perth Jandakot is handed over at the general aviation terminal or the apron, whichever your FBO uses. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the slot. Handling agent catering is arranged so the food meets the aircraft without a hold-up.
Most aircraft at Jandakot are light jets and turboprops that load by hand through a small door, so a high loader is rarely the question here. Galley catering for a larger charter is a different matter: the type decides the door height and whether the loader has to come out. For airside catering delivery to your FBO, tell us the type and we plan the aircraft provisioning around it.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Jandakot is Perth's main general aviation airport, with airport catering suited to small aircraft. It is used for flight training, charter, and private flying, and FBO services and ground handling services are on the field.
YPJT works as a business aviation hub for Western Australia, mostly smaller aircraft. Aviation catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned for small galleys, business aviation catering and executive jet catering for the larger charters, diplomatic flight catering for official parties, and cabin crew meals on request.
Customs and biosecurity in Australia inspect food arriving on international flights, and leftovers are often removed. For YPJT, we advise placing the order in Perth for the next departure, so nothing depends on clearing food from the last one.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“The cabin briefing at YPJT included 6 passenger meals, a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, and instructions addressing limited fridge space. The Galley Girls labelled the main courses in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience. Keeping the canapés identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Packing a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 10 passengers at JAD needed careful thought, especially given a short ground stop. For our team, the strongest part of their in-flight catering services was how they handled portion planning. The Galley Girls suggested compact food boxes for the fruit plates, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the sauces to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
“For 2 passengers departing from Perth Jandakot Airport, the agreed menu was vegetarian wraps and colourful salads; our main consideration was different crew meal preferences. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the aviation catering arrangements. We changed the quantities of desserts, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the main courses quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
Jandakot has no set menu for a positioning leg, so the cost starts at zero and builds with what you add. Crew meals, snacks, a WA wine: each is a line on the order.
Government flights into Perth Jandakot carry extra steps, such as clearance and discreet delivery to the aircraft. Lead time here is about getting the menu approved, and last-minute orders are still handled.
A tight turnaround at Jandakot leaves little room for inspections, so we plan the customs side around your slot. Fresh food loaded locally avoids most issues; leftover food from abroad is usually removed on arrival.
If you carry your own food into Perth, expect biosecurity checks on arrival, and plan around the size of your galley. We can supply what fits and what clears.
Is catering part of a charter into Perth? No, it is a separate order, whatever the hour. A night slot just means a lighter, ready-to-serve menu.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
