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

Rehovot on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at LLEK

Central District food is built on what grows around Rehovot: citrus, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, olive oil, tahini and fresh bread. For a private jet menu out of LLEK, that means an inflight menu that leans on mezze, grilled fish, roasted vegetables and fruit that travels well. Our private jet food keeps the local specialities honest: hummus and tahini stay in their own pots, salads are dressed at the last moment by you, grilled proteins are packed to be finished in the oven. Private jet platters of mezze, cheeses and cut fruit suit a short sector, while gourmet inflight meals such as slow-cooked lamb or sea bream suit a full cabin. Private jet snacks from the region work well in the drawer: roasted nuts, dates, halva and good dried fruit. Everything is kosher-aware by default in Israel, and we ask early whether dairy and meat must be kept apart.

Rehovot is farm country, and Central District produce shapes any private jet menu we write for Tel Nof: sun-ripened tomatoes, peppers, aubergine, pomegranate, figs and citrus. A good inflight menu here is mezze first, then something from the grill or the oven. Our private jet food is packed with sauces apart and salads undressed, so you re-plate in the galley without a mess. Local specialities that travel well: labneh, shakshuka bases, grilled sea bream, spiced rice, stuffed vine leaves. Private jet platters for the cabin can be built around cheeses, olives and seasonal fruit, gourmet inflight meals around a single hot main, and private jet snacks around nuts, dates and halva. Because Israeli dietary rules often split meat and dairy, we confirm the kosher requirement before anything is cooked.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Tel Nof Air Base (LLEK)

Tel Nof Air Base sits in the Central District at 193 ft, and it is a military airfield first: access, clearances and handling are arranged before a single tray moves. Private jet catering at LLEK is therefore built around the handling agent and the gate list, not around a menu. For business aviation catering, executive jet catering and inflight catering on this field, we pack for the galley you actually have. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same route, and in-flight catering or wider aviation catering requests are handled the same way.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Tel Nof Air Base (LLEK)

Business jet catering at LLEK is usually a small, precise brief: four to eight passengers, one oven, a drawer. Corporate jet catering here means mezze, grilled fish and fruit packed with sauces apart. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same route through the handling agent, and luxury inflight catering is built around what the galley can finish. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu for each tail, with a hot main and a cold option for the return.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Tel Nof Air Base

Official flights into Tel Nof need discretion and traceability. Government flight catering is planned with the protocol office; head of state flight catering uses a named team and sealed trays. For VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering, ingredients, allergens and packing are documented, and the handover is made through the handling agent at the aircraft.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Tel Nof Air Base

In Israel the dietary question is rarely 'if' but 'which': kosher is the baseline, and the real work is keeping meat and dairy apart. For Tel Nof we confirm the requirement first, then cook special meals on separate boards and pack them in separate boxes, marked by seat number. Halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests follow the same procedure, and kids meals are simple, mild and easy to eat at altitude. Sesame is everywhere in local cooking, so we ask about it early.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Rehovot (LLEK)

At LLEK a crew can wait hours between legs, so crew meals are worth planning. On request, we pack flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals in crew meal boxes, labelled CREW. Crew catering is quoted and invoiced like any order. Different meals for pilots are prepared on separate boards when policy requires it, and the cabin crew meals are boxed apart from the guest food.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Tel Nof Air Base

FBO catering at Tel Nof goes through your FBO or the general aviation terminal, never directly to the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, so the right person is cleared at the gate. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated on the day, and the food is handed over at the aircraft.

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Tel Nof Air Base (LLEK)

At LLEK the aircraft type decides how food reaches the galley. A light jet needs a single case carried up the stairs; a larger cabin may need airside catering delivery by vehicle, which the handling agent arranges at the gate. Our galley catering is packed to the galley you actually have, and aircraft provisioning for wide-body positioning flights is planned with the handling agent and the crew before anything is cooked.

About the airportLLEK

About Tel Nof Air Base (LLEK): airport catering for business aviation

LLEK stands in Israel's Central District at 193 ft, and its status as an air base shapes every delivery. Airport catering requires a cleared handover, and the handling agent decides who may reach the apron. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged around that gate list. General aviation use here is occasional and planned, not casual.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Tel Nof is infrequent and arranged, a business aviation hub in name rarely and a fenced field in practice. FBO services and ground handling services are booked ahead with the handling agent. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders are accepted as at any other airport. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same steps, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the flight.

Customs & food import

Israel regulates food imports, so we buy and prepare locally rather than bring product in from abroad. Kosher requirements are common and usually the first question. Ground handling services confirm the gate procedure, and FBO services are the route for the handover. The order itself follows your tail, slot and headcount.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“My order at Tel Nof Air Base covered vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a family lunch request. For in-flight catering, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of sauces with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. There was enough information about the snack boxes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“One detail shaped our order at LLEK: a changing departure schedule, alongside a request for mushroom risotto and a green salad for 7 passengers. The order made vip inflight catering feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls grouped the side dishes by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
James F. | Government flight manager

★★★★★CHARTER
“Rather than an elaborate service at Tel Nof Air Base, our 4 guests wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, organised sensibly around limited fridge space. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the sandwiches had been grouped. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. This experience of private jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure.”

Tel Nof: the questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Tel Nof when the crew is waiting on the ground?+

A waiting crew eats differently from a turning one, and the quote reflects it. For private jet catering at Tel Nof we price by dish and by headcount: citrus salad and cheeses cost less than slow-cooked lamb, and boxed crew meals sit between them.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when you reposition empty into Tel Nof?+

Lead time on a ferry leg depends mostly on access. Tel Nof is a military field, so we need the handling agent to confirm who may collect the food. The menu itself is easy; last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs require for catering at Tel Nof, and how does the aircraft galley change it?+

Customs rules in Israel apply to food arriving on board from abroad, which is why we source locally. The galley then sets the format: a small oven means smaller portions and sauces apart, a larger galley can take full hot mains.

Can you bring food to Tel Nof yourselves, or does a special-meal request change that?+

If a passenger has a child's meal or an allergy, we would rather prepare it than have it carried in: it is cooked separately, sealed, and marked. Other guests are free to bring their own snacks.

Is catering part of a charter into Tel Nof, and what does the handling agent do for airside access?+

No, it is a separate order, even on a charter. The handling agent controls airside access at Tel Nof, which is why we coordinate with them before the food is cooked.
