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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Graf Ignatievo (LBPG)

Plovdiv Province is Thracian lowland: wide fields, warm summers, and a table that runs on what grows there. A private jet menu for Graf Ignatievo leans on Bulgarian white brined cheese, roasted red peppers, tomatoes that actually taste of something, and grilled meats. Local specialities travel well when you think about the galley first. Shopska salad is a chilled plate, assembled and re-plated cold. Kebapche and kyufte go in hot and finish in the oven, with the sauce apart. The inflight menu can add banitsa, the flaky cheese pastry, as private jet snacks for a short leg. Private jet food from this region is simple by design: good dairy, charred vegetables, honest grilling. Gourmet inflight meals here do not need decoration, they need a clean re-plate. Private jet platters of lukanka and sirene suit a departure without a full service.

Graf Ignatievo, in Plovdiv Province, gives the kitchen a clear regional palette. The private jet menu starts with sirene, the Bulgarian white cheese, with kashkaval beside it, then moves to grilled pork and chicken, stuffed peppers and slow-cooked bean dishes. These local specialities are chosen for how they behave in a galley: some stay chilled, some need only the oven, some arrive with the sauce in its own pot. Inflight menu choices for a morning departure often lean on yoghurt, honey and soft fruit, while an evening leg suits grilled lamb or a tomato and cheese plate. Private jet snacks from here include banitsa and roasted nuts. Private jet food tied to the region keeps its character, and gourmet inflight meals are plated at altitude by the crew, not decorated on the ground. Private jet platters of cured meats and cheese round out a lighter order.

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

Graf Ignatievo Air Base sits on the flat Thracian plain in Plovdiv Province, a military field with a long runway that now sees business aircraft too. Private jet catering here is built around what Bulgaria does well: sheep and cow dairy, roasted peppers, grilled meats and soft fruit. Our inflight catering is packed for the galley you actually have, and our aviation catering for LBPG is handed over by your handling agent at the aircraft. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders carry the same labels as everywhere else, and cabin crew meals are a separate line on request. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared with protocol first, before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Graf Ignatievo (LBPG)

Business jet catering at Graf Ignatievo usually starts with a short brief: the type, the passenger count, the departure slot. Corporate jet catering for a four-seat light jet is different from VIP flight catering for a larger cabin on a charter flight catering order. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Thracian ingredients, luxury inflight catering without ornament. Each tray is marked with the seat number, and Graf Ignatievo orders follow the same labelling as any other.

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Graf Ignatievo Air Base

A state aircraft at LBPG brings its own rules. Government flight catering starts with the protocol office, and head of state flight catering follows a procedure of named staff and documented ingredients. For VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering, discretion is part of the work and the handover stays quiet.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Graf Ignatievo Air Base (LBPG)

Special meals at Graf Ignatievo start with where allergens hide in Bulgarian cooking: dairy is everywhere, from sirene to yoghurt-based sauces, and walnuts turn up in desserts and spreads. Kosher and halal orders are built on a separate board and a separate box, and sealed meals stay sealed until the guest opens them. Vegan and gluten free plates lean on grilled vegetables, bean dishes and roasted peppers, with banitsa and bread left out entirely. Allergen free orders are cooked apart from the main run, and kids meals are simple, mild and cut small. Tell us the restriction and the seat number and the card follows the tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Graf Ignatievo (LBPG)

For the crew flying out of Graf Ignatievo, crew meals are a separate line on request, billed as everything else is. Flight crew meals are packed in boxes marked CREW, and pilot meals are easy to eat in the seat. Crew catering is built for a quick turnaround, cockpit meals stay sealed, and crew meal boxes keep to a single tray. We offer different meals for pilots on request, so each pilot gets a different dish. Kebapche with bread is a regional favourite for this kind of order.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Graf Ignatievo Air Base

Whether the order goes up an airstair or through a high door depends on the aircraft type you bring into Graf Ignatievo. A light jet takes trays and cool bags up the airstair, while a larger cabin may need the door height and a high loader for galley catering. Airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, and the food crosses the apron with the same labels it would carry anywhere else. Aircraft provisioning for a heavier type is planned around the galley layout: how many ovens, how much drawer space, what the crew can chill and what they must serve cold. Tell us the type and we pack to the galley, not to the menu.

About the airportLBPG

About Graf Ignatievo Air Base: business aviation and airport catering

Graf Ignatievo Air Base lies in Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria, on the Thracian plain. Airport catering here is shaped by its military heritage and its flat approach. General aviation uses the same long runway as the air base, and FBO services are arranged through the handling agent. Ground handling services keep the apron controlled and orderly, and the field handles private aircraft quietly.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a generous title for Graf Ignatievo, but private jet catering still starts here. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for a Bulgarian leg are built on Plovdiv Province produce. Aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the aircraft type, and executive jet catering is packed to the galley. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared with protocol first, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip. The season matters: summer heat, winter fog and spring storms all shape the order.

Customs & food import

Bulgaria is a member of the European Union, and food entering the country follows EU rules. For a flight into Graf Ignatievo from outside the EU, meat and dairy brought on board may be restricted. Tell us the route and we plan the order around the rules, so the food on board is the food we have supplied.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Menu approval at Graf Ignatievo Air Base covered mushroom risotto and a green salad for 4 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a revised passenger count. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the desserts clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand. It was useful to see the salads listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

★★★★★CHARTER
“We kept the passenger brief simple at LBPG: grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 11 guests, organised with a short ground stop in mind. I want a private jet catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the sauces could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the salads ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“What impressed me at Graf Ignatievo Air Base was how a request for a breakfast basket with individual preserves was handled despite different crew meal preferences. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. The Galley Girls labelled the sauces in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. Keeping the canapés identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

The Graf Ignatievo questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Graf Ignatievo?+

Start from the guests, not from the airport. If one passenger needs an allergen free plate cooked away from dairy, that single meal changes the order more than an extra platter of lukanka and kashkaval would. For LBPG we price the menu line by line, with special meals shown separately.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Graf Ignatievo?+

What makes ordering easy at Graf Ignatievo is the local larder: Bulgarian white cheese, tomatoes, peppers and grilled meats are all standard ingredients. Build the menu on those and the order stays simple. Last-minute orders are handled; if one product is out of season we say so and propose another.

What about customs for private jet catering at Graf Ignatievo?+

Bulgaria is in the European Union, so food rules follow EU practice, but the season matters more than the paperwork here. A winter fog or a summer storm can move a departure, and food planned for one slot may need to stay chilled longer. Tell us the arrival and departure plan, and we pack accordingly.

Can you bring food on board at Graf Ignatievo?+

You can, but at a military-origin field like Graf Ignatievo, airside access runs through your handling agent, and anything arriving outside that route may not get through. Food ordered with us is delivered via the same channel, with labels the agent recognises. Tell the handling agent what is expected.

Is catering part of a charter into Graf Ignatievo?+

No: catering sits on its own order, apart from a private jet charter to LBPG. If the manifest changes late, we change the quantities, not the contract. A late addition of two guests means two more trays, and we adjust the packing and the labels.
