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

What Raivavae brings to your in-flight catering (RVV)

Raivavae is in the Austral Islands of French Polynesia, and the island table is fish, taro and coconut. A private jet menu for NTAV draws on local specialities: poisson cru in coconut milk, fried or steamed fish, breadfruit, uru, taro and sweet potato, firi firi doughnuts, and Tahitian vanilla. An inflight menu written for Raivavae is short and honest about what is in season. Private jet food from here leans on the lagoon and the garden rather than imported luxury, and the Austral Islands region gives it character: citrus, coconut cream, pareu-wrapped parcels. Private jet platters are built for the galley you have, gourmet inflight meals finish in the oven or are re-plated cold, and private jet snacks are fruit, coconut bread and vanilla biscuits. Ask for local specialities by name and we tell you what is available when your slot lands.

On Raivavae, the Austral Islands produce set the private jet menu: lagoon fish, taro, breadfruit, coconut and citrus. We write an inflight menu around those local specialities, and private jet food here means fresh fish and root vegetables rather than a long imported list. Private jet platters carry cold fish and tropical fruit sliced per passenger; gourmet inflight meals arrive in oven-ready trays with the sauce apart. Private jet snacks are coconut bread, vanilla biscuits and fruit. The region, (unassigned) in the airport record and Raivavae on the ground, is remote, so the menu is confirmed against what the island can supply for your date.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Raivavae Airport (NTAV)

Raivavae Airport sits on a thin coral strip at 7 ft above sea level, with the lagoon on both sides of the runway. Private jet catering here is built around what the island grows and what the galley can carry: fish, taro, coconut, citrus. Inflight catering for a Raivavae stop is ordered with the tail and the slot, and in-flight catering for the leg onward is packed for your galley. Aviation catering at NTAV is delivered to the FBO or your handling agent, and business aviation catering is commissioned as its own order. For executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering or cabin crew meals, give us the aircraft type and we match the menu to its galley.

Business aviation catering at Raivavae Airport (RVV)

At Raivavae, a corporate jet catering order is usually a short brief: a business jet on a Pacific routing, four to eight guests, one stop. We write a bespoke menu around lagoon fish and tropical fruit, and a private jet chef adjusts it to the cabin. Business jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are written for RVV, and luxury inflight catering is kept to what the island can supply. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the onward leg are packed for the galley you have.

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Raivavae Airport (NTAV)

A government flight into Raivavae is an uncommon sight on this coral strip, and government flight catering is handled as quietly as the aircraft arrives. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering go through protocol: the menu is cleared before anything is cooked, the team is named, and the aircraft is served with discretion. State visit aircraft catering for a delegation to the Austral Islands is traced from order to handover.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Raivavae Airport

Special meals at Raivavae start from what the island can supply, which is mostly fish, root vegetables, fruit and coconut. Vegan and gluten free plates are natural fits here: taro, breadfruit, rice and tropical fruit carry no wheat. Kosher and halal meals are sourced and sealed for the flight, and allergen free requests are named so seafood and coconut, the two common allergens on the island table, never end up on the wrong tray. Kids meals are simple and mild. Tell us the restrictions when you give us the tail and the slot.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Raivavae Airport (NTAV)

At NTAV, the FBO or your handling agent receives the order at the apron. FBO catering and ground handling catering are planned with the agent, and catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is confirmed against the slot. Handling agent catering is simply the last step before the galley.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Raivavae Airport (NTAV)

Raivavae handles small and mid-size aircraft on a short coral runway, so galley catering is sized to the aircraft type rather than to a high loader. For a larger cabin, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, who tells us whether the apron allows a vehicle alongside. Aircraft provisioning at NTAV is planned around what the door height and the galley allow, and we adjust trays and carts to match.

About the airportNTAV / RVV

Airport catering at Raivavae Airport (NTAV)

NTAV serves Raivavae, a lagoon island in the Australs, and as a business aviation hub it is the smallest kind: one strip, one terminal, a light apron. Airport catering here is an arranged order rather than a counter service, and FBO services and ground handling services are handled by your agent at the FBO.

Business aviation

As a business aviation hub, NTAV sees light general aviation traffic, so FBO services are arranged flight by flight. Aviation catering is planned per leg: business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow your aircraft type, inflight catering and in-flight catering lean on island produce, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered separately.

Customs & food import

French Polynesia applies strict controls on fresh food imports, and customs checks incoming meat, dairy and produce on arrival. At this quiet business aviation hub, plan the menu around local ingredients and declare anything you carry through your handling agent. Ground handling services at Raivavae can tell you what must stay sealed.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“An order of avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 8 people at NTAV had to be organised around a family lunch request. I asked The Galley Girls for the crew provisions in individual containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the canapés aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about crew briefing.”

Zaid U. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

Gulfstream G650ER

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Rather than an elaborate service at RVV, our 5 guests wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes, organised sensibly around a revised passenger count. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the salads, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the crew provisions to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. The order made private jet catering menu feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand.”

Ivan W. | Chief cabin officer

BBJ

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Despite a late menu amendment, we wanted the 9 guests at Raivavae Airport to enjoy beef fillet with roasted potatoes without a complicated cabin service. I needed the desserts checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. For private aviation catering, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

What crews ask before RaivavaeAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Raivavae, given the customs and food-import rules for French Polynesia?+

A menu built from lagoon fish, breadfruit and coconut costs differently from one that needs imported cheese or fresh meat, which French Polynesian rules make harder to bring in. Private jet catering at NTAV is priced per menu after we know your brief.

What is the lead time for a return leg ordered from Raivavae?+

Return legs from Raivavae work best as a single order covering both sectors. We confirm the menu against the season and hand it over at the aircraft. Last-minute orders are handled.

How do customs work for a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin at Raivavae?+

For an empty ferry leg, order little and keep it sealed. French Polynesia has food-import rules, so locally sourced crew meals are the easiest answer at NTAV.

Can you bring food into Raivavae for a delegation or government flight?+

A delegation arriving at NTAV can carry food, but sealed, declared and checked. We handle diplomatic flight catering by clearing the menu before anything is cooked.

Is catering part of a charter into Raivavae, given a tight departure slot and short turnaround?+

No: catering is a separate order, billed separately from a private jet charter. For a short turn at NTAV, we prepare trays that go straight into the galley.
