Catering to your aircraft in Rijeka(Omišalj).
Landing at LDRI usually means a short Kvarner stay. We cook and pack for that galley, with seat-numbered boxes and crew meals ordered alongside.
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.
Primorje-Gorski Kotar is the Kvarner coast, and the private jet menu from Rijeka reads like it: the inflight menu leans on Kvarner scampi, grilled sea bass and Istrian truffle pasta, with local specialities chosen for what survives a galley.
Private jet food here travels in three groups. Cold: pršut with Pag cheese, marinated anchovies. Hot: scampi buzara, finished in the oven with the sauce in its own pot. Dessert: Rijeka-style fritule, sealed per seat.
For the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County run, the private jet menu changes with the season: truffle in autumn, cold seafood in summer. Ask for local specialities and we will say what is good this month.
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.
Nobody lands at LDRI for the airport itself: they come for Opatija, the Kvarner islands and the yachts. Private jet catering for those guests leans on scampi, sea bass and Istrian truffle, packed to survive a drawer and a small oven. Inflight catering and in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering, plus cabin crew meals, are one order, handed over at your FBO.
Rijeka flights are mostly short: yacht owners, Opatija weekends, summer charters. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering follow the galley, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the guest, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu with luxury inflight catering in mind.
A state visit to the Kvarner coast needs discretion. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are written with the protocol office and the handling agent.
At Rijeka the allergen question is seafood and truffle oil: shellfish sits in half the local menu, so a gluten free, allergen free, vegan, kosher, halal or kids meals request gets its own board and its own box, numbered by seat. Special meals are cleared at the order, not at the apron.
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.
For the crew at LDRI we pack crew meals on request, billed as a normal line. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are separate from guest trays; crew catering and cockpit meals stay simple. Crew meal boxes are marked, and different meals for pilots are available.
FBO catering at Rijeka means catering delivery to the FBO, at the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated with your agent for the apron.
Galley catering at Rijeka depends on the type: a light jet takes a cart to the door, a larger cabin may need a high loader, and the handling agent confirms what is on the field. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning follow the galley you actually have, oven or no oven.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

LDRI is a regional field at 278 ft on the island of Krk, and the general aviation apron sits beside the terminal. Airport catering here follows the summer yacht rhythm, and FBO services and ground handling services decide who opens which door for the galley.
Rijeka works as a small business aviation hub for the Kvarner coast. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for owner and charter flights, aviation catering and business aviation catering for the galley, executive jet catering for corporate arrivals, diplomatic flight catering for state visits, cabin crew meals and crew meals on request: all of it is ordered together, and the FBO services and ground handling services on the field take the handover.
Croatia is in the EU, so customs treat animal products from outside the bloc strictly. General aviation arrivals at Rijeka are checked at the terminal, and sealed, listed catering keeps the paperwork short for the ground handling services and FBO services on duty.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Nothing about the 7 guest order at LDRI called for excess complexity: just grilled salmon with a lemon dressing and sensible planning for limited fridge space. I would discuss private aviation catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the desserts, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the side dishes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
“Service planning came first at RJK, with 7 passengers choosing a breakfast basket with individual preserves and a family lunch request influencing our preparation. With business jet catering, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls kept the desserts separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the canapés ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
“Choosing poached fish with steamed rice for 5 people at Rijeka Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the side dishes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. Our brief for business aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for portion planning.”
Local product decides: sea bass in season, truffle out of season. We give a quote per menu for private jet catering at LDRI, with each line explained.
The lead time depends on the season: truffle and scampi need a word earlier. For late or early slots we confirm and handle last-minute orders.
Government flights into Rijeka carry food that customs may want listed. We provide an ingredient sheet per menu so the delegation is not held at the door.
Customs in Croatia can stop meat and dairy brought from outside the EU. For a Rijeka arrival, ordering locally keeps the galley clean of that problem.
No, the charter does not include meals. Catering is ordered and invoiced like any other line, with the handling agent arranging airside access at LDRI.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
