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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Paraparaumu

The Wellington Region eats from the sea and from sheep country, and a private jet menu for Paraparaumu draws on both. Our private jet food here starts with Kapiti Coast cheese, Wairarapa lamb, and green-lipped mussels that need to be cooked and chilled properly before they go anywhere near a galley. Local specialities travel in the form the galley allows: lamb rack that finishes in the oven, fish that is served cold, pavlova that arrives as separate components.

Private jet platters built on Wellington Region produce are the easy start for an inflight menu from NZPP: smoked fish, local cheeses, fruit from the lower North Island. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks sit beside them. Every local speciality is packed for the oven, the drawer or the plate you will actually use, with the sauce in its own pot.

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

Paraparaumu Airport sits at 22 feet on the Kapiti Coast, a grass-and-sealed general aviation field where business arrivals share the apron with light aircraft. Private jet catering here is planned around a small apron, a modest terminal and weather that comes off the Tasman. We cook and pack for the galley you actually have, and the order reaches the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for NZPP follow the same rule as everywhere else: one order, one invoice. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering all come from the same former VIP flight attendants, and cabin crew meals ride in their own box. Diplomatic flight catering is handled with protocol first.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Paraparaumu Airport (PPQ)

Business jet catering at Paraparaumu is usually for a small cabin, a short list of passengers and a galley with limited space. Corporate jet catering here means a clear brief: who is on board, what finishes in the oven, what stays chilled. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same procedure, and luxury inflight catering is the same food with more care at the plate. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around your tail and slot.

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Paraparaumu (NZPP)

Official visits through NZPP are rare but not unknown, and government flight catering is planned with discretion. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering go through the protocol contact, never the kitchen, and the handover is quiet.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Paraparaumu Airport (PPQ)

Special meals at Paraparaumu are planned against the local kitchen: shellfish and dairy are everywhere on the Kapiti Coast, so allergen free orders get their own board, their own box and a seat-number label. We cover kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals, and we ask for the exact restriction before anything is cooked.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Paraparaumu Airport (PPQ)

On the NZPP apron, the crew's own boxes are a separate line you ask for, and they are billed alongside everything else on the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed apart from the passenger trays, and cockpit meals are easy to eat one-handed. Crew catering for a rotation uses crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and we can make different meals for pilots when the operator asks. Crew meals are cabin crew meals too, boxed separately.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Paraparaumu Airport

FBO catering at Paraparaumu means catering delivery to the FBO, where your handling agent takes the order out to the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is small, so ground handling catering is coordinated early. Handling agent catering is simply the order, the slot and the tail.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Paraparaumu Airport (PPQ)

Aircraft type decides how the order loads at NZPP: a light jet takes a hand-carried galley box up the stairs, a larger cabin may need airside catering delivery with a high loader if the door sits high. Tell us the type and what the galley holds, and galley catering is packed to fit. Aircraft provisioning is coordinated with your handling agent on the apron.

About the airportNZPP / PPQ

About Paraparaumu Airport (NZPP): aviation catering and general aviation

NZPP serves general aviation on the Kapiti Coast, and airport catering fits its scale: FBO services, ground handling services and a small apron. As a business aviation hub it is quiet, but the order works the same as anywhere.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Paraparaumu is mostly light jets and turboprops using the coast for a weekend or a regional visit. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around a small galley; executive jet catering and aviation catering use the same procedure. Diplomatic flight catering is rarer, and cabin crew meals ride in their own box.

Customs & food import

New Zealand biosecurity is strict: food arriving from abroad must be declared, and fresh produce, meat and dairy are often removed. Ordering locally at Paraparaumu keeps the galley clean on the way out, and uneaten food on an inbound flight is declared on arrival.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Nothing about the 8 guest order at PPQ called for excess complexity: just chicken skewers with a couscous salad and sensible planning for a changing departure schedule. This experience of private jet catering menu gave us a useful reference for managing portion planning on another departure. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the main courses, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Having 3 guests request roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables at Paraparaumu Airport meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls kept the sauces separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the fruit plates as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. The order made private aviation catering feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand.”

Yuna D. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Food presentation mattered to our 7 guests, but a revised passenger count also had to be considered when organising mushroom risotto and a green salad at NZPP. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sauces clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of main courses matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. With business jet catering, careful attention to crew briefing matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Before you order at NZPPAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a night departure or an early morning slot out of Paraparaumu?+

For NZPP, the cost depends on whether you want local lamb and seafood or simpler cold plates. Night and early morning slots change what makes sense to serve, not the way the order is priced. How much does private jet catering cost? Menu, headcount and season decide it.

What is the lead time for a long leg out of Paraparaumu with two services on board?+

A two-service flight from PPQ needs us to know which meal finishes in the oven and which goes out cold. That detail drives the lead time more than the airport does. Seasonal products are easy to confirm; last-minute orders are handled.

How do customs affect a special-meal request at Paraparaumu, such as kosher, halal, allergen or child?+

New Zealand has some of the tightest biosecurity in the Pacific. For a kosher, halal, allergen or kids meal out of NZPP, customs rarely complicate a departure, but any food left over from an inbound flight needs to be declared on arrival.

Can you bring food into Paraparaumu, or must the galley be loaded locally?+

Yes, can you bring food? Technically yes, but New Zealand biosecurity decides what stays. Most crews at NZPP find it easier to order local, since manuka honey, cheeses and lamb are on the menu anyway.

Is catering part of a charter into Paraparaumu, given the season and weather?+

No, catering sits outside a private jet charter and is billed on its own. Departures from PPQ are most weather-sensitive in the cooler months, and our menu moves with them.
