Catering to your aircraft in Ahe Atoll.
Ahe is a coral ring where the sea is both menu and runway. We cook and pack for the galley you actually fly, and hand it over at your FBO or 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.
Ahe Atoll belongs to the Tuamotu archipelago, and the private jet menu here follows the lagoon. Local specialities travel well when they are planned for the galley: poisson cru in coconut milk, grilled mahi-mahi, lagoon fish, fresh coconut and vanilla from the islands. An inflight menu for Ahe leans on raw fish kept chilled and sauces sent apart, so private jet food arrives the way a flight attendant would plate it. Private jet platters of tropical fruit, gourmet inflight meals built on fish and rice, and private jet snacks of coconut bread and banana chips suit short island hops. Whatever the region sends, nothing is left to improvise on board.
Think of the Tuamotus as a menu with one main ingredient: the sea. For a private jet menu out of Ahe we start from poisson cru with coconut milk, firm grilled fish, breadfruit and fruit from the Society Islands. The inflight menu keeps raw items chilled and anything hot in the oven, so private jet food reaches the cabin in shape. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all built from these local specialities, packed for a small galley.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Ahe Airport sits at eleven feet above sea level on a thin ring of coral, and nothing here arrives by road: private jet catering for NTHE is planned like a provisioning run. Business aviation catering and inflight catering are cooked off-site and packed for the aircraft, and executive jet catering gets the same treatment as a light turboprop. Aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering requests follows the same protocol, and cabin crew meals ride in their own boxes. In-flight catering for Ahe is a short, exact brief.
Business jet catering at NTHE usually serves pearl-farm visits and island-hopping owners. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are built around lagoon fish, and charter flight catering follows the aircraft's oven. Luxury inflight catering is plated from a private jet chef and a bespoke menu, written once and confirmed with you.
Official visits to the atoll need discretion more than volume. For government flight catering and head of state flight catering we agree the menu in advance, VIP aviation catering is sealed and labelled, and state visit aircraft catering goes to the aircraft only.
Where does an allergen hide on the Tuamotu table? In coconut, shellfish and sauces. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and special meals are handled by procedure, allergen free meals are boxed apart, and kids meals are mild.
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 the atoll, crew meals are something you ask for with the order, and they appear on the invoice beside everything else. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed apart from the guest trays; crew catering and cockpit meals are boxed to be eaten one-handed. Crew meal boxes carry no names, and different meals for pilots are written in the order. Cabin crew meals are marked by seat number.
On a small atoll field the FBO and the handling agent are one short conversation. FBO catering and catering delivery to the general aviation terminal start with that contact; ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the aircraft's slot.
Galley catering at Ahe is sized for light and turboprop aircraft, not large cabins. Airside catering delivery goes by small vehicle, and aircraft provisioning depends on the door height and the galley fitted.
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.

NTHE is a coral-ring airport used mostly by turboprops, with business aviation arriving for pearl farms and island stays.
Ahe is no business aviation hub, but it hosts general aviation and private visits. Airport catering here, whether inflight catering or in-flight catering, is aviation catering sized for the galley. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are arranged with FBO services and ground handling services on the day.
Import of food into French Polynesia is checked by customs on arrival. Anything fresh coming in is declared; local lagoon fish and fruit are the simple route for catering at Ahe.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“My order at Ahe Airport covered roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 5 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a revised passenger count. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. There was enough information about the sauces to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at NTHE, where our order of a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 4 people involved several individual meal preferences. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about written menu details. I needed the snack boxes checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the crew provisions against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“Our priority at AHE was prawn salad and small fruit plates for 5 passengers, with an evening cabin service shaping the service plan. Our brief for private jet catering menu was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the canapés and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the sandwiches before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
A lunch of poisson cru and grilled fish for six costs less than the same lunch built on imported beef. Season and sea state change what is landed, so private jet catering from Ahe is priced per order, never from a list.
At a small atoll field the handling agent controls the airside door, so we ask for their contact with the order. That is what keeps the lead time easy. Orders placed late are handled too.
Customs in French Polynesia look at what enters the country, so food loaded for an outbound flight is rarely the issue; fresh produce coming in is. If your passenger count moves late, tell us and we adjust portions and re-label seat numbers before the handover.
You can carry your own food, but inbound fresh produce and meat must be declared in French Polynesia. Crew waiting on the ground at Ahe have little around them, so cabin crew meals and cockpit meals ordered from us avoid the question.
Separate order, separate invoice. A private jet charter to the atoll does not carry meals, and French Polynesian rules on fresh imports mean we plan sourcing locally where we can.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
