Catering to your aircraft in Akrotiri.
RAF Akrotiri is a military airfield on the south coast of Cyprus, and civil jets come in by arrangement, so the order matters. We cook and pack for your galley, with Cypriot halloumi, fish and citrus labelled by seat, and hand it over through your 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.
Akrotiri sits on the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, on the south coast of Cyprus, and the local table is Mediterranean in the plainest sense. A private jet menu built here starts with halloumi, grilled or cubed, and with olives, cucumber, tomato and warm pitta. Our inflight menu leans on what Cypriot growers do well: citrus in winter, figs and watermelon in summer, carob syrup for dessert. Private jet food from this coast travels well because most of it is meant to be eaten at room temperature.
Local specialities are the reason a menu for RAF Akrotiri does not read like any other. Private jet platters of meze, with halloumi, koupepia, hummus and tahini, go into the drawer chilled and come out ready to plate. Gourmet inflight meals follow the sea: sea bream or sea bass with lemon and the sauce in its own pot. Private jet snacks are simple: pistachios, dried figs, loukoumi and Cypriot almonds. For a short stop, the crew can serve straight from the box.
The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia are British territory on Cypriot land, and the table reflects both. A private jet menu here can pair Cypriot mezze with a plain British breakfast for a crew coming from the UK. Inflight menu items such as souvlaki, afelia and grilled lamb need a galley oven and a plate, so we tell you how each one finishes before you order. Local specialities, from halloumi to Commandaria wine jelly, are the dishes people remember from a flight through this coast.
Cypriot cooking at Akrotiri is built on grill, lemon and olive oil. For private jet food, that means skewers packed raw-marinated or cooked and chilled, never left to guess. A private jet menu can open with a mezze tray, move to grilled fish or lamb kleftiko, and close with loukoumades and honey. The inflight menu changes with the season: tomatoes and cucumber in summer, oranges and mandarins in winter. Local specialities travel as they would at a taverna table, just in boxes with seat numbers.

RAF Akrotiri sits on the southern coast of Cyprus, a military airfield where civil business aviation moves only by arrangement, and the catering order follows the same discipline. Private jet catering for LCRA is built around the galley you actually have, with Cypriot produce packed and labelled by seat. For inflight catering and in-flight catering on this field, send the tail, the slot and the headcount and a former VIP flight attendant takes the order. We cover aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering here, plus diplomatic flight catering for state movements and cabin crew meals for the people working the cabin.
Traffic through LCRA is mostly official or discreet, so business jet catering is simple and precise. For corporate jet catering, charter flight catering or VIP flight catering, send the seat plan and the galley. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering uses Cypriot produce at its best.
Akrotiri is a military base, so government flight catering follows protocol. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are ordered by an official contact, cleared before cooking, and packed with traceable labels. Our team is small, named and discreet.
Cypriot cooking leans on halloumi, nuts, sesame, wheat and shellfish, so special meals at RAF Akrotiri are written against that kitchen. Kosher and halal meals are packed sealed and labelled by seat, vegan and gluten free plates avoid the usual halloumi and pitta, and allergen free meals are cooked and boxed apart from everything else. Kids meals are simple: pasta, chicken, fruit. Give us the restriction and the seat, and we write the card.
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 a short stop at Akrotiri, crew meals are what keeps the day moving. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are boxed for eating at the seat, crew catering sits in crew meal boxes, and different meals for pilots are available on request. Everything is ordered and invoiced separately, never included.
A military airfield changes how the handover works. FBO catering, catering delivery to the FBO or general aviation terminal, ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the food reaches the aircraft at your slot.
Aircraft at Akrotiri can be a light jet or a large cabin type, and the loading changes with it. For galley catering on a larger aircraft, tell us the type and whether a high loader is needed to reach the door. Airside catering delivery here runs through your handling agent, who controls access on a military airfield. Aircraft provisioning is packed to the galley layout, with each box marked for the cabin or the flight deck.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
RAF Akrotiri (LCRA, AKT) is a British forces airfield on the south coast of Cyprus. Civil traffic is the exception, so airport catering here is arranged around each movement, never assumed. It works as a small business aviation hub for specific missions rather than a busy general aviation field, and FBO services and ground handling services depend entirely on the handling agent who controls access.
A civil jet on the apron at Akrotiri is there for a reason, and the order is planned the same way. Inflight catering and in-flight catering follow the aviation catering logic of state movements; business aviation catering and executive jet catering cover charters and owners. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals complete the picture, with crew meals ordered on request. General aviation stays quiet, which is why this small business aviation hub rewards early planning and clear instructions to ground handling services.
Food entering Cyprus follows EU rules, and the base adds its own checks at the gate. Local halloumi, fish and fruit clear without fuss; meat or dairy brought from outside may not. Your handling agent and the ground handling services on the field confirm what can go airside, so we buy locally and tell you what leaves with the aircraft.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Getting a charcuterie board and fresh bread ready for 8 guests at RAF Akrotiri required an order that accounted for a small galley worktop. We changed the quantities of side dishes, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination. The crew provisions remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
“Good preparation made the difference at LCRA, where 2 guests expected poached fish with steamed rice despite a late menu amendment. My main takeaway from this aviation catering services order was the practical approach to galley preparation. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the snack boxes to arrive in stackable containers. The starters were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“Between cabin checks at AKT, I coordinated vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 11 guests and explained our concerns about a tight boarding window. I want an aviation catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
Halloumi is cheap and Cypriot sea bream is not, so the product you pick moves the bill more than anything else here. A meze board with grilled cheese sits well below a whole fish finished in the galley oven. Tell us the dishes you want and we price that list, ordered and invoiced like any other order.
An empty-cabin reposition leaves little to plan, and that makes the order simple: crew boxes only, packed for the flight deck. Civil movements here are arranged in advance, so the order follows your clearance, and last-minute orders are handled. Call or write day or night with the tail and the slot.
Cyprus applies EU food rules and the base adds its own checks. Halloumi, olives and local citrus bought on the island raise no question, which is why a menu built from them is the easy route. Meat or dairy left over from another country may have to be declared and discarded on arrival.
On an empty reposition the crew often carries its own lunch, and nothing stops that from a safety angle. Customs at the next field decide what may stay aboard, so keep it sealed and simple. If you would rather not think about it, order crew boxes from us, labelled and ready.
No. Catering is not part of a charter: the aircraft price covers the aircraft, and local dishes such as halloumi, lamb or carob cake are a separate order placed with us. We invoice it on its own and hand it over through your handling agent.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
