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 Sydney (Mascot) (SYD)

New South Wales gives a private jet menu at Sydney a coastline's worth of seafood. Sydney rock oysters are the obvious opening: shucked to order, packed on ice, plated cold by the crew. Moreton Bay bugs, which are slipper lobster, travel well as halves with the butter in a separate pot. Tasmanian salmon and ocean trout suit an inflight menu because they reheat gently and slice cleanly.

Private jet food built on local specialities also means Hunter Valley cheeses, Australian lamb rack, finger lime for finishing, macadamias, and a pavlova assembled at the last stage. Anything crisp, like tempura prawns, we keep to a cold service. We pack for New South Wales and for the Sydney (Mascot) departure alike, with each item marked cold, oven or sauce apart, so the crew re-plates without guessing.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY)

Sydney Kingsford Smith sits on Botany Bay at 21 feet above sea level, and its general aviation traffic follows the harbour city's calendar: the Rugby Test weekends, Vivid, the Sydney to Hobart start. Private jet catering for YSSY is built around that rhythm and around what the galley can actually hold. For inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering alike, we cook, pack and label each box for the aircraft type and the guest list, and hand it over at your FBO. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders carry the tail, the slot and the seat plan; diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals ride on the same booking.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY)

Business jet catering at SYD usually starts with a corporate group or executive team and a menu that must work in a small galley. Corporate jet catering means pre-plated starters, mains finished in the oven and desserts that stay cold. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same principle, with luxury inflight catering built around Sydney rock oysters or Tasmanian salmon. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your guests, and the tail decides what is possible.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY)

Government flight catering at Sydney is run through protocol: the menu is cleared first, the team is named, and every box is traceable by seat. Head of state flight catering follows the same discipline, with sealed packaging and discretion at handover. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are arranged with the handling agent so nothing is opened until the aircraft.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport

Sydney's kitchens run on shellfish, tree nuts and sesame, so allergens hide in sauces, crusts and dukkah more than in the main ingredient. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, special meals, allergen free and kids meals are each built on a separate board and sealed in their own box, marked by seat number only. Tell us the restriction and the seat; we plan the dish around it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Sydney means the order is handed over at the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against your slot, and the general aviation terminal contact receives the details. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so airside access is ready.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD)

At YSSY, the tail you fly decides how the boxes get on board. A light jet takes boxes by hand through the cabin door; a large-cabin aircraft needs a high loader at the galley door. Galley catering is planned around the oven, chiller and drawer count on your tail, and airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent. For aircraft provisioning on bigger types, send the type and galley layout so the packing matches the space.

About the airportYSSY / SYD

Aviation catering and business aviation at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD)

Sydney Kingsford Smith is Australia's busiest gateway, and its general aviation traffic sits alongside commercial flows on Botany Bay. Airport catering for business aviation here is shaped by the FBO apron, night noise rules and the city's event calendar. FBO services and ground handling services decide who opens the gate and when, so jet catering orders for Mascot are planned around those two contacts.

Business aviation

A busy business aviation hub, Sydney sees executive and diplomatic movements throughout the year. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering sit alongside inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering, with cabin crew meals and crew meals ordered the same way. FBO services and ground handling services on the field shape how each of those orders reaches the aircraft.

Customs & food import

Australian biosecurity is strict: imported meat, dairy and fresh produce are inspected on arrival, and international food waste is disposed of under supervision. Ordering locally for the departure keeps your galley compliant. Ground handling services deal with the waste side, FBO services with access to the apron. Tell us your route and we advise what loads at Sydney.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Rather than an elaborate service at SYD, our 4 guests wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, organised sensibly around a tight boarding window. I would discuss private jet catering menu with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination. After a final adjustment to the starters, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the side dishes was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

Antoine R. | FBO operator

Challenger 650

★★★★★CHARTER

“A request for avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, 9 passengers, and a revised passenger count: that was our brief for the departure at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport. The order made private aviation catering feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls grouped the sandwiches by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the salads properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

Natalia R. | Charter operator

Challenger 350

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Nothing about the 2 guest order at YSSY called for excess complexity: just a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides and sensible planning for several individual meal preferences. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the salads into sealed meal containers that were easy to handle. The side dishes were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. For business jet catering, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

What crews ask before Sydney (Mascot)Asked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight out of Sydney?+

Take a diplomatic party leaving Mascot: a cleared menu, labelled by seat, crew meals boxed apart. How much does private jet catering cost in that case? It is built from the menu and numbers you choose, then quoted before you confirm.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Sydney Kingsford Smith?+

Lead time for Sydney depends on the slot, the produce and whether special meals are involved. Seasonal oysters or bugs are simple to source; unusual requests take more care. Call us, day or night, and last-minute orders are handled.

How do customs work for inflight catering into and out of Sydney?+

A small galley carries little, but the rules do not change: declare food, expect inspection, and expect disposal of banned items. Larger types simply have more to manage. We source within Australia for departures from Sydney.

Can you bring food on board yourself for a night departure or early morning slot at Sydney?+

You may bring food, but at night or at dawn Sydney offers few options airside. A pre-ordered catering box, coordinated with your handling agent, removes the question.

Is catering part of a charter on a long leg out of Sydney?+

No, catering is ordered and invoiced apart from the charter. For a long sector from Sydney with two meal services, we plan both: a hot service first, a lighter one later, each marked by seat.
