Catering to your aircraft in Taree.
Taree is a quiet Mid North Coast field at 38 feet, where light jets and turboprops come and go around the weather. We cook for the galley you have and hand it over to your FBO or handling agent, with crew meals on request.
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.
For Taree, the private jet menu leans on the coast: a chilled seafood board, cheeses with macadamia, a fruit plate. Private jet food here follows the passengers' tastes, so private jet platters travel cold and gourmet inflight meals finish in the galley oven. Private jet snacks stay light, with nuts, fruit and small bites, and New South Wales local specialities lead every one of them.
An inflight menu from YTRE suits the way this region eats: seafood, cured meats, local cheese and fruit. Private jet food is cooked for the galley on board, private jet platters cover the table, and private jet snacks fill the sectors in between. Gourmet inflight meals draw on the same New South Wales local specialities.

A Taree departure tends to be a short regional sector, and the catering reflects it. Our private jet catering for YTRE/TRO is chosen around the type, the seat plan and the slot. Inflight catering and in-flight catering come packed for re-plating in a small galley, with cabin crew meals packed apart under their own label. We run aviation catering and business aviation catering for New South Wales operators, executive jet catering for owner-flown trips, and diplomatic flight catering for official movements, with every order placed by phone or email.
Who flies into YTRE? Owners heading to the coast, charter groups and corporate teams visiting the Manning Valley. Their business jet catering is a bespoke menu from a private jet chef. Whether it is corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering, you phone or email once and we build it to the galley.
Government flight catering at Taree is rare but real, and it is handled through protocol before anything is cooked. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering use a named team, strict traceability and discretion at the FBO.
Special meals at Taree follow a procedure, not a label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each cooked and packed on their own board and in their own box, with a card for the seat. Seafood and tree nuts run through the local menu, so macadamia and shellfish allergens are kept off every surface that serves an allergen free plate.
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 regional rotation into YTRE, crew meals are a request, not a given, and they appear on the invoice. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals into crew meal boxes, mark the box for cockpit meals, and keep crew catering separate from guest service. If your policy asks for different meals for pilots, we write two dishes.
Catering delivery to the FBO at YTRE is made at the door the handling agent opens for your aircraft. The general aviation terminal is the point of contact, and ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent before the slot. FBO catering and handling agent catering sit on one order with the meals themselves, so the person at the apron knows what is arriving and for which tail.
Most aircraft at YTRE are turboprops and light jets, so galley catering usually comes over by hand to the cabin door and no lift is needed. If a larger type is on the schedule, tell us and we plan airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning around its door height and galley position.
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.
YTRE is a regional airfield beside the Manning River at 38 feet, used by general aviation and the occasional business aircraft. Airport catering here is ordered the same way as anywhere and handed over through the FBO, with ground handling services arranged by whoever meets your aircraft.
Taree is no major business aviation hub, but private flights do use it for coastal holidays and regional visits, with ground handling services kept simple. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for those flights are built around oysters and local produce. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same pattern, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are packed apart from guest trays.
Flights arriving from abroad are checked by Australian biosecurity, and fresh meat, dairy, fruit and honey are the usual items held. A domestic sector has far less to declare. Tell us the route, and we advise on what can load for general aviation, with FBO services and ground handling services working from the same order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Clear quantities were essential at Taree Airport: we had 8 passengers expecting a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides and were working around a family lunch request. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sandwiches clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of breakfast portions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. For our team, the strongest part of their in-flight catering was how they handled final order confirmation.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 4 guests, but a late menu amendment also had to be considered when organising a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides at YTRE. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. We checked the canapés against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about vip inflight catering.”
“For 12 passengers departing from TRO, the agreed menu was vegetarian wraps and colourful salads; our main consideration was a family lunch request. The Galley Girls prepared the snack boxes for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The order made private jet catering feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand. Keeping the fruit plates aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
A dawn departure from Taree often means breakfast, which is plates and pastries rather than plated mains. A night departure suits cold platters that need no galley work. The cost of private jet catering follows those choices: oysters and fillet sit higher, fruit and cheese boards lower. We quote the whole menu before cooking.
When a long leg carries two services, we want to know the galley first. A small oven at YTRE limits what can be finished hot, so the lead time reflects that choice. Seasonal produce such as prawns or oysters may need a little more planning. Last-minute orders are handled.
Biosecurity officers in New South Wales check galley stores on arriving international aircraft, so special meals cooked abroad are a risk. For a child, allergen or religious meal, order from us and it is made from local ingredients. Customs only applies to what you carry in, not to what we load.
You can bring food, but nuts, fruit and meat from overseas are declared on entry and may be taken. Macadamias grown in New South Wales are simply part of our local specialities, so adding them to a cheese board or snack box costs you no paperwork at all.
No, a private jet charter contract does not carry the food. You order it from us and it is invoiced like any other order. If a storm or fog delays YTRE, tell us and we hold or re-time the plan, so nothing is wasted.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
