Catering to your aircraft in Mahovljani.
A single runway at 400 ft and a terminal at Mahovljani set the pace here. We pack local food for the galley you have and deliver it at your FBO, day or night.
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.
The inflight menu for Banja Luka International is built around Republika Srpska's own cooking: grilled meat, smoked ham, kajmak, ajvar, sarma and layered pites. These local specialities are the reason a private jet menu out of LQBK reads differently from one anywhere else.
Private jet food from Mahovljani is best when it is simple and fresh. Ćevapi come in flatbread with chopped onion, kajmak is packed cold in its own pot, ajvar travels in a jar, and burek is baked for the galley oven. That is the inflight catering we pack for Banja Luka.
Seasonal produce decides the rest. Peppers and tomatoes in summer, apples and walnuts in autumn, root vegetables and preserved fruit in winter: the private jet menu follows what Republika Srpska is growing, with each of these local specialities packed with its serving note.

Banja Luka International sits at 400 ft in the Vrbas valley country of Republika Srpska, and a flight out of LQBK is usually fed from a Balkan table. Private jet catering here leans on grilled meats, kajmak and fresh pastry, packed for the galley you actually have. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the cabin, business aviation catering and executive jet catering for corporate and charter legs, aviation catering for the whole trip, diplomatic flight catering when protocol is involved, and cabin crew meals for whoever is working the flight.
Business jet catering at Banja Luka is usually a short cold brief with a hot item added: corporate jet catering for a morning departure, VIP flight catering for a delegation, charter flight catering for a group. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef who can write a bespoke menu around the ćevapi, burek and kajmak that Banja Luka does well.
Government flight catering at Banja Luka is handled with discretion. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow a protocol cleared before anything is cooked, and state visit aircraft catering is traced from the kitchen to the cabin door.
Special meals out of Banja Luka start with the local kitchen: gluten, dairy and nuts hide in pastry, kajmak and walnut desserts. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each prepared and boxed separately, sealed and marked by seat number.
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.
Between legs at LQBK, the crew is the part of the flight nobody plans for. Crew meals are ordered with the trip on request, billed like the rest of the order, and handed over at the FBO with the guest food. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed for hands that stay on the controls: crew meal boxes for the jumpseat, cockpit meals that eat cleanly, different meals for pilots when the operator asks for them. Cabin crew meals and crew catering for the whole rotation are written into the same order.
FBO catering at Banja Luka means the order is handed to the handling agent and delivered at the general aviation terminal. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering and handling agent catering, so the galley is loaded on your slot.
A widebody on the apron at LQBK changes how the galley is loaded. Galley catering for a large aircraft is packed in trolleys and carts, and airside catering delivery follows the handling agent's access. Aircraft provisioning is planned with the door height and the galley layout in mind.

Banja Luka International serves a modest general aviation flow from its single runway at Mahovljani. The FBO and the terminal take the business traffic, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged arrival by arrival. Airport catering here is handed over through the handling agent, so the order reaches the apron as planned.
Banja Luka is a small business aviation hub where traffic spikes around events and official visits. FBO services stay the same on a quiet day and a busy one. We provide inflight catering and in-flight catering for private flights, aviation catering and business aviation catering for corporate teams, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals. Crew meals are added to the order on request.
Customs in Bosnia and Herzegovina restrict imported animal products, so food for LQBK is cooked and packed in Republika Srpska rather than carried in. Any food left on board after landing goes through the handling agent; ask about FBO services for waste handling when you book.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Getting mushroom risotto and a green salad ready for 11 guests at BNX required an order that accounted for a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the salads, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the side dishes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. The order made private jet food feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand.”
“Packing mushroom risotto and a green salad for 5 passengers at Banja Luka International Airport needed careful thought, especially given a tight boarding window. The starters from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. This experience of private jet meals gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure. The sauces were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
“Small packing details became important at LQBK: our 2 passengers wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries, and we had an evening cabin service. For private jet menu, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. We could distinguish the desserts at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
Start with the aircraft. A small galley limits what we can pack, and a large one allows a full Banja Luka grill service. How much does private jet catering cost? It is priced per menu, agreed with you before the flight, and invoiced like any order.
We ask for the slot first. A night departure from LQBK changes where and when we hand over, so lead time is agreed around that; last-minute orders are handled.
Food import rules in Bosnia and Herzegovina mean fresh animal products arriving by air are restricted. For a long leg with two services, the answer is to buy and pack locally, and we do exactly that for LQBK.
Outside food can come aboard, but it avoids none of the questions: customs, allergens, labelling. For a special-meal request out of Banja Luka, a sealed box prepared here is the safer route.
It is not. Catering is a separate order from the charter, invoiced on its own; for a flight into LQBK we suggest one local product, such as smoked ham or kajmak, and build around it.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
