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

Regional dishes of Wallis Island for jet catering at WLS

A private jet menu for Wallis Island starts with the lagoon and the garden, not the freezer. The local specialities are fish, taro, yam, breadfruit and coconut, cooked in the Wallisian way, often in an earth oven. For an inflight menu out of Hihifo, we adapt them to a galley: grilled fish packed apart from its coconut sauce, taro and yam sliced for the oven, breadfruit served chilled as a salad. Private jet food in {Region} works best when it is simple, because produce on a small island depends on the week's catch and the last ship. If a product is not available, we propose a substitute and tell you before the slot.

The local specialities of Wallis and Futuna are Polynesian and French at once: coconut, taro, manioc, breadfruit, fish from the lagoon, and baguette on the French side. A private jet menu for Hihifo uses that mix. Our inflight menu pairs a cold platter of raw fish in coconut milk with a hot dish that goes through the galley oven, sauce in its own pot. Private jet food for this part of Oceania should be fresh and light, since the aircraft often continues across the Pacific. We confirm what the island can supply for your date and say so plainly if it cannot.

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

Hihifo sits on the northern tip of Wallis Island, a single paved runway at 79 feet above a Pacific lagoon, and everything a galley needs has to be planned before the aircraft arrives. Private jet catering for NLWW is a matter of what survives a tropical ramp: inflight catering that holds cold, in-flight catering that finishes in a small oven, and cabin crew meals boxed separately. Aviation catering here is written around the crew's galley, from business aviation catering for corporate trips to executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering for official visits.

  • Fresh and local produce

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Hihifo Airport (WLS)

Business jet catering at Hihifo is usually a short brief: a corporate jet, a small group, a stop in the Pacific. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all run from the same plan: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around what the lagoon and the island garden supply that week. Luxury inflight catering here means fresh fish and well-handled produce, not a long list.

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Hihifo Airport (WLS)

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Hihifo Airport (WLS)

On a small island, the allergen risk is in what comes in on the ship, so we start from the diet card and the seat plan, not from the menu. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are special meals we prepare apart, sealed and marked by seat number. Tell us the restriction and we tell you what Wallis Island can actually support; where a product cannot be sourced safely, we say so before the slot.

Flight crew meals on request at Hihifo Airport

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

At Hihifo, FBO catering reaches the aircraft only through the right pass and escort. We arrange catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent, and ground handling catering is timed to the slot on the apron. The general aviation terminal is the point of handover, and handling agent catering follows your instructions.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Hihifo Airport (WLS)

Larger aircraft at Hihifo need galley catering planned around the apron's limited equipment: tell us the type so we know whether a high loader is available or whether trolleys go up by hand. Airside catering delivery runs through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is sized to the galley you actually have, not to the full menu. For a widebody on a government or relief flight, the order is split into manageable lots for the ramp.

About the airportNLWW / WLS

About Hihifo Airport (WLS): airport catering for business aviation

NLWW is the airport of Wallis and Futuna, set at 79 feet beside the lagoon. General aviation traffic is light, and airport catering has to be organised ahead of the arrival, with FBO services and ground handling services confirmed through the handling agent.

Business aviation

Wallis Island is a quiet business aviation hub, used for Pacific positioning, official trips and medical flights. Executive jet catering, business aviation catering and aviation catering for these flights are planned from the tail. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all arranged through the same single order.

Customs & food import

Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collectivity, so French-style agricultural and sanitary rules govern food entering the territory. Fresh meat, dairy and plants are the items to watch. Practically, that means we source fresh items locally and use sealed, commercially packed products for anything else.

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Several practical details needed attention at WLS, with vegetarian wraps and colourful salads requested for 5 guests and several individual meal preferences to accommodate. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sandwiches, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. This experience of private jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. The cabin team could match the starters to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

★★★★☆LARGE CABIN
“Small packing details became important at Hihifo Airport: our 12 passengers wanted a cheese board and savoury canapés, and we had a short ground stop. This experience of private jet catering services gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure. The main courses from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the breakfast portions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
Amira X. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Working around a small galley worktop at NLWW, I asked for a cold lunch with cheese and fruit in portions appropriate for our 4 passengers. I want a private jet catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the breakfast portions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the canapés to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

Questions crews ask about Wallis IslandAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Hihifo?+

Cost here is shaped by the weather window: when flights are bunched around good conditions, fresh fish is tighter and more expensive. We price per menu, name what drives the figure, and invoice it as a separate order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at WLS?+

Government and delegation flights are the case that benefits most from early notice here, because menus are cleared by protocol and sourcing on Wallis Island depends on the supply ship. We take last-minute orders too and tell you what is possible.

What customs rules apply to catering at Hihifo?+

Agricultural controls apply to imported fresh items in Wallis and Futuna. In the dry season window when many aircraft land together, inspections can be slower, so we suggest local sourcing for fresh foods.

Can you bring food on board at Hihifo?+

For government or delegation flights, outside food is a question for the handling agent and customs, not for us. We can supply a sealed, labelled alternative so the galley is covered either way.

Is catering part of a charter into Wallis Island?+

The charter and the galley are two different orders. Catering is requested and invoiced on its own, and on an island where weather can delay departure, we keep it flexible.
