Catering to your aircraft in Proserpine.
Proserpine is the gateway to the Whitsunday islands, and its apron fills in the dry season with light jets on island charters. We pack for a hot ramp and a small galley, then hand over at the FBO or to 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.
The Whitsunday coast gives a private jet menu a short list of things worth ordering. Queensland mud crab, banana prawns and barramundi are the local specialities that fly well, and they shape the inflight menu at Proserpine. Tropical fruit from the region, mango, papaya, lychee and passionfruit in season, is the private jet food guests ask for first on a hot day.
Seafood is chilled and plated cold, and nothing here depends on a hot galley. Private jet platters built around prawns, smoked fish and fresh fruit hold well from the FBO to the aircraft. Gourmet inflight meals for the return leg lean on barramundi or slow-cooked beef, packed so the sauce stays apart until you re-plate. Private jet snacks are macadamias, fruit and cheese for the short hop. Queensland and Proserpine produce is the reason the menu stays light and local.

Proserpine Whitsunday Coast sits at 82 ft on the Queensland coast, and its traffic follows the island season, so private jet catering here leans on chilled seafood, tropical fruit and platters built for a hot ramp. Inflight catering for a Whitsunday arrival is usually planned around the return leg, and the in-flight catering we pack travels well in a galley with a small oven. For aviation catering at YBPN, business aviation catering for a charter, or executive jet catering for an owner flying in, the order is simple to place. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are handled on request, with a menu cleared before anything is cooked.
Business jet catering at PPP is usually a short brief: a few passengers, a Whitsunday weekend, fruit and seafood. Corporate jet catering for a day trip is lighter, while VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering add a private jet chef and a bespoke menu. Charter flight catering follows the same rhythm, with the order built around the galley of the aircraft.
Government flight catering at YBPN is rare but handled with care: a name list, a menu cleared before cooking, and a quiet handover. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow the same protocol, and state visit aircraft catering is treated as a separate, confidential order.
Dietary requests at YBPN follow the local kitchen: seafood and nuts are everywhere on this coast, so allergen free meals are boxed separately and marked by seat. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free dishes are special meals planned from the order, and kids meals are simple and mild. Tell us the restriction with the order and it is packed apart from the guest trays.
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.
On a Whitsunday rotation the crew eats last, so crew meals are built to be eaten quickly. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering ship in labelled crew meal boxes, and cockpit meals are packed so a captain can eat one-handed. Different meals for pilots are ordered separately on request, and cabin crew meals are invoiced like the rest of the order.
At Proserpine the general aviation terminal is small, so FBO catering is easy to coordinate. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering all lead to the same handover: the aircraft, on your slot, with the labels facing out.
Most traffic into Proserpine is light and midsize jets, so galley catering usually goes straight from the FBO to the door without a high loader. If a larger aircraft is on the apron, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout of that type.

Proserpine Whitsunday Coast Airport serves the Whitsunday region of Queensland, with general aviation and charter operations sharing a single apron. Airport catering here follows the seasons, with FBO services and ground handling services managing most business aircraft on the field.
Proserpine is a business aviation hub for the islands, and demand peaks in the dry months. We cover aviation catering and business aviation catering for charters, executive jet catering for owners, inflight catering and in-flight catering for every sector, diplomatic flight catering on request, and cabin crew meals for the crew. Ground handling services on the apron work around the same island-season rhythm, so crew meals and guest trays arrive together.
Australian biosecurity is strict: fresh fruit, meat and dairy brought in from overseas are controlled, and your ground handling services agent can tell you what the officer will check at the aircraft door. Order Queensland produce and the question mostly disappears; for imported items, tell us early and we confirm what clears.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Timing and organisation mattered at YBPN, where our order of herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 9 people involved a revised passenger count. With private jet catering, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the breakfast portions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of crew provisions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
“My order at PPP covered roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 11 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a small galley worktop. This experience of private jet catering services gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the crew provisions into individual containers that were easy to handle. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
“Clear quantities were essential at Proserpine Whitsunday Coast Airport: we had 3 passengers expecting a cold lunch with cheese and fruit and were working around a late menu amendment. After a final adjustment to the salads, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. I want a private jet catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Think of it as menu by menu. A Whitsunday charter that waits on the ground can mean crew meals plus a boxed return-leg order, and each is invoiced as its own line. Seasonal Queensland seafood moves the total more than anything else.
Local ingredients make this airport easy to supply. Customs and food-import rules in Australia shape the rest: anything brought in from overseas needs thought, while mud crab, prawns and tropical fruit do not. Late requests are handled.
Plan the return meal around where you land. Australian biosecurity rules cover what arrives here; what leaves is checked by the next country. We pack cold, sealed and labelled so a customs officer reads it quickly.
Crew can carry their own food, yet for a short empty leg most operators order two crew meal boxes instead of shopping. We pack them labelled, with no passenger trays at all.
Not for charter in the usual sense: private jet charter agreements cover the aircraft and crew, and catering is added on request. A delegation order is usually named, discreet and cleared before it is packed.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
