Catering to your aircraft in Temora.
Harvest, frost and warbird weekends set the rhythm at Temora's YTEM field. Light jets and turboprops mean compact galleys, so we pack short menus properly and hand them 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.
Temora is wheat, canola and sheep country, and the Riverina plate reflects it. A private jet menu for Temora leans on what the district grows: NSW lamb, regional cheeses, olives, stone fruit in summer, citrus from further west. Our private jet food is cooked and packed for the galley you actually have, so a light jet gets a tight inflight menu rather than a restaurant card. Local specialities such as slow-roasted lamb shoulder or a grain salad with roasted pumpkin travel well and plate cleanly. Private jet platters of local cheese, cured meat and seasonal fruit suit a short sector, while gourmet inflight meals such as lamb with pea purée finish in the oven on board. Private jet snacks run to macadamias, dried apricots and house-baked shortbread. The region around Temora in New South Wales gives the menu its backbone.
For a Temora arrival the question is what the cabin can take. Our private jet menu for the Riverina starts from regional produce: lamb, wheat-fed beef, goat's cheese, native herbs, seasonal stone fruit. The inflight menu is built with a private jet chef's eye for what holds in a drawer and what needs the oven. Private jet food at TEM is therefore short and exact. Private jet platters carry cold cuts and cheeses from New South Wales producers; gourmet inflight meals add a hot main finished on board; private jet snacks cover the long wait on the apron. Local specialities such as lamb cutlets with mint jelly or a warm barley salad keep the New South Wales table on the plate.

Warbird weekends and harvest season set the rhythm at Temora, in the south-west slopes of New South Wales. For a light jet or turboprop on the apron at TEM, private jet catering means a short list done properly rather than a long menu half-served. We cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for passengers, aviation catering for the whole trip, business aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering for owners' aircraft, diplomatic flight catering for official movements, and cabin crew meals for the people working the leg.
A business jet catering brief at Temora is usually small: four to six seats, a light jet, a compact galley. Corporate jet catering here favours a tight bespoke menu from a private jet chef, with VIP flight catering for owners and charter flight catering for operators. Luxury inflight catering at TEM means lamb, cheese and seasonal fruit done well.
Official movements into YTEM are rare and noticed. Our government flight catering is planned with your protocol office: head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one procedure, with named staff and no names on the labels.
A grain town like Temora hides gluten and nut traces where a plate does not show them: bakery flours, shared fryers, macadamia dust on the board. Special meals are cooked and packed apart, then marked by seat. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests go into the brief, along with kids meals, so the galley opens a sealed box rather than guessing.
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.
A crew waiting at Temora needs food that travels and survives a long turnaround. We supply crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals on request, billed like everything else. Crew catering is packed in boxes; cockpit meals are easy to eat in a seat; crew meal boxes carry no names. Different meals for pilots are arranged when the operator asks.
At YTEM, FBO catering means a box passed from our driver to your handling agent at the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO follows the slot you give us, and the general aviation terminal is the reference point. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering run through one order.
The tail number settles how everything gets loaded at Temora. Most movements are light jets and turboprops with a stair door and a small galley, so galley catering arrives in compact boxes carried by hand. For a larger type that needs a high loader, say so when you order and we confirm what the handling agent can bring. Airside catering delivery runs through the FBO or your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the tail, the door and the galley layout.

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

Temora Airport sits in the Riverina of New South Wales, 921 feet above sea level, with grass and sealed runways used by warbirds, light aircraft and the occasional business jet. Airport catering here is compact, and FBO services and ground handling services stay simple for a general aviation field of this size.
Temora's business aviation hub is small but busy around events. We provide inflight catering and in-flight catering for passengers, aviation catering for the whole trip and business aviation catering for operators. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are available on request, and crew meals and cabin crew meals complete the order. FBO services and ground handling services at the field decide where the handover happens.
Australia enforces strict biosecurity on food from overseas, and international arrivals at Temora must declare anything with meat, dairy or fresh produce. Domestic catering within New South Wales clears without issue, so we source locally and advise on what can stay on board. Your handling agent, through the FBO services and ground handling services on the field, deals with the declaration.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Rather than an elaborate service at Temora Airport, our 9 guests wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries, organised sensibly around a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the desserts, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The breakfast portions went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. Our brief for in flight catering was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation.”
“Packing mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 7 passengers at YTEM needed careful thought, especially given a revised passenger count. I needed the sandwiches checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the inflight catering services arrangements. There was no need to reconstruct the side dishes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
“It was the packing plan I cared about at TEM, with 11 servings of herb chicken with a quinoa salad and an evening cabin service to consider. I want an inflight catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. There was enough information about the desserts to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
Empty-cabin legs are the cheapest to feed. At Temora a two-pilot positioning flight might need only boxed crew meals, while a returning guest sector can add a plated lamb dish and fruit. How much does private jet catering cost? It depends on that mix. Seasonal produce such as summer stone fruit also moves the number up or down.
For a head-of-state or ministerial movement, we work from your protocol office's list. Lead time at TEM is whatever it takes to clear that list and arrange airside access with your handling agent. Late additions are handled, and every dish is labelled by seat.
International crew arriving at TEM must declare food, and uneaten meals are treated as biosecurity waste. When the turnaround is brief, we time our pack to the slot so you carry no surplus. Domestic departures from Temora face far fewer constraints.
Passengers sometimes bring their own meals, and that works for a short hop. On a small aircraft at YTEM, space is the limit: no trolley, no second oven. Our packing is designed for that constraint. Imported food must be declared on arrival in Australia, so local sourcing is simpler.
No: a private jet charter does not carry catering as standard. For an early morning departure from Temora, order the menu with us, and we pack it for the FBO handover. We are reachable by phone and email 24/7.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
