Private jet catering at Hinterstoisser Air Base (LOXZ), Zeltweg

Catering to your aircraft in Zeltweg.

LOXZ is a military field in the Mur valley that wakes up for the Spielberg race weekends and the odd state visit. We cook, pack and label for the galley you actually fly, and hand it over at the aircraft.

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

The Zeltweg table, packed for private jet catering

Styria is Austria's green heart, and a private jet menu leaving Zeltweg leans on it: pumpkin seed oil, pumpkin soup, Backhendl, Almochsen beef, trout from the Mur and the mountain streams. On an inflight menu each of these behaves differently, so we pack for the galley, not for the plate.

Private jet food built from local specialities has to survive a drawer. The seed oil travels in a small bottle, so a salad is dressed at the seat and never goes soft. Backhendl is packed crisp and vented for a dry reheat; soup goes in sealed containers sized to the oven. Private jet platters and private jet snacks follow the season: Styrian asparagus in spring, chestnuts and game in autumn, worked in where the cabin and the crew can manage them. Gourmet inflight meals here are the ones that still taste right when the drawer is finally opened.

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

The Mur valley decides how a day goes at Zeltweg: the Red Bull Ring calendar fills the apron, and low cloud in the valley holds departures longer than the schedule admits. Private jet catering for LOXZ follows that rhythm, with meals labelled by seat and ready when the base opens its gate to your handling agent. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for a race weekend are best briefed early, and diplomatic flight catering for a visit to the base is cleared through the same military channel.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Hinterstoisser Air Base (LOXZ)

Business jet catering at Zeltweg rarely follows a weekday pattern. Corporate jet catering requests cluster around the Formula 1 and MotoGP weekends at the Red Bull Ring, when owners and sponsors land at short notice and leave within a day. A private jet chef can build a bespoke menu around that: cold lunches that hold through a delayed departure, a hot course for the return leg. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for these groups usually mean a small cabin, so we match portions to the seat plan and keep luxury inflight catering to what the galley can reheat.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Hinterstoisser Air Base (LOXZ)

LOXZ belongs to the Austrian armed forces, so government flight catering here runs through military access and the air base's own rules. For head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering, the menu is cleared before anything is cooked, the named team is fixed, and nothing is labelled with a guest's name. VIP aviation catering in Styria is discreet by default: sealed boxes, seat numbers only, handed over at the gate the base designates.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Hinterstoisser Air Base

At Zeltweg, special meals start with where allergens hide in the local kitchen: dumplings, breadcrumbs, butter, and cream in the soups. Kosher, halal and gluten free requests are confirmed with the order and packed in a separate box with their own tray. A vegan menu here can be built from Styrian pumpkin, root vegetables, mushrooms, lentils and seed oil. Allergen free and kids meals are packed apart from the other trays, marked by seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Zeltweg (LOXZ)

Crew meals at LOXZ are ordered on request and invoiced with the rest of the order. On a race weekend a crew can sit out a long wait on the apron, so crew catering means a real hot dish, not a sandwich. Flight crew meals can be split: pilot meals with different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never share a dish, cockpit meals that eat one-handed, and cabin crew meals boxed separately. Crew meal boxes carry CREW on the lid, which keeps them away from passenger trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Hinterstoisser Air Base

There is no commercial terminal here, so FBO catering at LOXZ means catering delivery to the FBO or the handling agent who arranges access to the military apron. We coordinate with your handling agent for ground handling catering, and tell them what comes off the truck first: cold boxes, then hot, then crew meals last so they sit by the door. Check the general aviation terminal arrangements before the slot, since access is controlled. Our handling agent catering contact stays on the line until the aircraft is closed.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Hinterstoisser Air Base (LOXZ)

Most traffic here is light and mid-size, so galley catering is carried up the airstairs in boxes. For a larger aircraft we ask for the type and door height, since airside catering delivery by high loader has to be arranged with the base. Aircraft provisioning is planned from the type: one oven, a couple of drawers, limited chilling. We pack to that, not to the menu.

About the airportLOXZ

Airport catering at Hinterstoisser Air Base (LOXZ)

Hinterstoisser Air Base in Zeltweg, Styria, is an Austrian armed forces field, so civil and charter movements land here by permission, not on a walk-in basis. There is no public FBO services desk and no ground handling services counter: airport catering is arranged through your handling agent, who clears the delivery with the base. General aviation turns up for events, state visits and the occasional diversion, and the apron on a quiet Tuesday looks nothing like race weekend.

Business aviation

Race and airshow weekends bring business aviation traffic in waves, and most of it leaves the same evening. A valley floor at roughly 2,264 ft means low cloud can pin a departure for hours, so crews plan for a wait on the ground. Ground handling is arranged per movement: confirm the slot and the gate before the aircraft is airborne. Outside event days Zeltweg is a quiet military field, and it works as a business aviation hub only when the calendar says so.

Customs & food import

Austria is in the EU and Schengen, so flights from within the area clear without food checks. Arrivals from outside the EU cannot bring meat or dairy products on board for onward carriage, so catering loaded in Zeltweg is the safest route. We pack for the customs rules of your onward destination.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Good preparation made the difference at Hinterstoisser Air Base, where 8 guests expected mini sandwiches and individual desserts despite limited fridge space. For private jet menu, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the desserts, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the fruit plates identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“One detail shaped our order at Hinterstoisser Air Base: a family lunch request, alongside a request for mushroom risotto and a green salad for 11 passengers. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of sauces with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the fruit plates before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I want a private jet chef to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“A request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, 2 passengers, and a small galley worktop: that was our brief for the departure at LOXZ. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the snack boxes, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the salads before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. For in flight catering, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

The Hinterstoisser questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a special-meal request at Zeltweg?+

A kosher, halal, allergen free or child meal is priced per dish and depends on the sourcing. A kosher plate sealed by a certified supplier costs more than a vegan pumpkin dish built from local produce. We quote after the passenger list is clear.

What lead time do you need for a small jet at LOXZ?+

Ten hours before departure where possible; last-minute orders are handled. A light jet with one oven needs less planning than a larger cabin, so tell us the type and what the galley can chill or heat.

What about customs on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

A hop within Austria or the Schengen area carries no food inspection, and an empty cabin needs only crew meals. If you are repositioning in from outside the EU, tell us so we can pack accordingly.

Can you bring food for the crew waiting on the ground?+

Crew duty time and long waits at LOXZ are why we pack hot crew meals on request, invoiced with the order. You can carry your own, but fresh meat and dairy from outside the EU will not be allowed through.

Is catering part of a charter into Zeltweg?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter and is ordered and invoiced separately. For race weekends and alpine weather windows, order early, since departures shift when conditions change.
