Catering to your aircraft in Mostar.
A small plateau airport, a busy summer ramp and a local table built on trout, lamb and figs. Catering by crew, for crew, delivered to your aircraft at LQMO.
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.
Herzegovina eats from the valley and the hills, and the Mostar private jet menu follows it. An inflight menu for LQMO leans on Neretva trout, lamb from the Herzegovinian uplands, smoked prosciutto, Livno-style cheese and figs, pomegranates and citrus from the lower valley. Private jet food from this region travels well when it is planned for the galley: the trout chilled with its sauce apart, the lamb finished in the oven, the cheese and cured meats sliced for service.
These are the local specialities we draw on in Mostar and across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, written into the private jet menu rather than bolted on. Bread from the old town bakeries, tulumba and baklava for the sweet side, Bosnian coffee with a proper set-up for the tray. Inflight menu choices are adjusted to your headcount and your oven, so the private jet food you serve over the Adriatic or the Balkans looks like it was plated on the ground.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Elevation 156 ft, a single runway and a general aviation ramp that gets busy with summer charters: that is Mostar. Private jet catering here means local produce from the Neretva valley, Herzegovinian cheese and cured meats, and bread that survives a drawer. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are packed by former VIP flight attendants, with cabin crew meals boxed separately. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering for state visits all run through the same order, 24/7, delivered to your handling agent.
For a business jet catering order at Mostar, the brief is usually short: how many on board, what the galley can do, and one local dish. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all follow the same route. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the oven and the drawer, and luxury inflight catering means trout that arrives chilled and lamb ready to finish.
When a delegation lands at LQMO, VIP aviation catering is arranged around security and the handling agent. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow agreed menus, and state visit aircraft catering is packed sealed and labelled for the cabin.
Around Mostar, halal is often the baseline rather than the exception, so halal meat and sourcing are easy to confirm, while pork appears in cured meats and some pastries and is easy to keep off a tray. Kosher, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, special meals and kids meals are all prepared on a separate board and boxed by seat number, with the restriction written on the lid. Bosnian cooking hides allergens in pastry, nuts and dairy, so tell us who is on board and we adjust the menu.

For crew at LQMO, we pack crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals on request, billed as part of the order. Cockpit meals are easy to eat, crew catering is boxed in crew meal boxes, and different meals for pilots are available so captain and first officer need not share a dish.
At Mostar the FBO sees the order before the aircraft does. FBO catering is brought to the general aviation terminal, or straight to the stairs when the handling agent allows it. Catering delivery to the ramp depends on security passes and an airside escort, so ground handling catering is arranged with your handling agent beforehand. Handling agent catering at LQMO is then a matter of one name, one door, one slot. General aviation parking is tight in summer, which is why we confirm the stand.
Mostar sees mostly light and midsize business jets and the occasional larger charter, so galley catering is usually loaded by hand at the aircraft door. When a bigger type calls for a high loader, we flag it to your handling agent so airside catering delivery is arranged before the slot. Aircraft provisioning follows the galley you have: one oven, a drawer, or a full set-up, and we pack accordingly.

Mostar International serves Herzegovina as a small field with airport catering built around local produce and a general aviation ramp that peaks in summer. Ground handling services here are kept simple, so a catering order is handed to the same agent who meets the aircraft.
Mostar is a modest business aviation hub, yet summer brings real demand. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for business aviation catering orders go to the FBO, with executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation visits. FBO services and ground handling services stay uncomplicated at LQMO, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed apart from guest trays. General aviation traffic sets the pace.
Customs in Bosnia and Herzegovina govern food arriving from abroad, so we source and prepare locally and clear the delivery through ground handling services at the field. If your aircraft is coming in from outside the country, say so when you order and we plan around it.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Having 12 guests request a breakfast basket with individual preserves at Mostar International Airport meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a revised passenger count. For in flight catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. I asked The Galley Girls to review the main courses quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of desserts matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 11 guests, but several individual meal preferences also had to be considered when organising a selection of petits fours and sandwiches at LQMO. The sandwiches supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the fruit plates without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. For inflight catering services, that attention to packing arrangement made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“On this departure from OMO, 2 passengers had chosen beef fillet with roasted potatoes, and a small galley worktop needed to be reflected in the order. The desserts from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our colleague could take over the crew provisions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. I want an inflight catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Local product moves the price at LQMO: trout and lamb cost more than vegetables and bread, and imported items cost more again. Tell us how many you are feeding and whether it is breakfast or dinner, and we price private jet catering for that exact order, quoted before you confirm.
Lead time at Mostar is mostly about the season: peak summer weeks mean busier ramps, and some local products are easier in certain months. Order when the trip is set; last-minute orders are handled.
We deal with customs through the handling agent: who is allowed airside, which items cross, and who signs for the delivery. At Mostar, local sourcing keeps this simple.
Bringing your own food is allowed in principle, but check customs rules for fresh items. For groups where the headcount may move, our order is easier to correct.
The charter covers the aircraft, not the food. Catering for Mostar is ordered and invoiced separately; crew who wait on the ground for a long time often ask for a meal too.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
