Catering to your aircraft in České Budějovice.
A small Bohemian airfield means a small galley, and that shapes the menu: carp, duck and dumplings packed to fit one oven and a drawer. Order for České Budějovice by phone or email, day or night, with crew meals on request.
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 South Bohemian Region is fish-pond country. Třeboň carp, farmed in ponds that date from the sixteenth century, is the regional signature and the dish most guests ask about; it is also the one that needs thought for a private jet menu, because fried carp does not survive a drawer and a poached or smoked fillet does. For an inflight menu from České Budějovice we lean on what travels: smoked trout, roast duck breast with red cabbage, bread dumplings sliced and packed apart from the sauce, and svíčková, the Czech sirloin in cream sauce, with the sauce in its own pot.
Private jet food here also means pork, the Czech default, and the sweet side of the country: trdelník, fruit dumplings, poppy-seed pastry and the honey cakes baked across South Bohemia. These local specialities are cooked and packed for the galley and handed over at the FBO, so the person re-plating at altitude gets finished components rather than a problem. If you want a plain private jet menu instead, a cold platter of Bohemian cheeses, cured meats and rye bread is built the same way.

Třeboň carp has been farmed in the ponds north of České Budějovice for centuries, and it is the first thing a galley menu here should be built around. For crews flying into LKCS, private jet catering means local fish, pork and pastry packed for a small cabin and handed over at the FBO. We also supply inflight catering and in-flight catering for the aircraft types that use this field, aviation catering and business aviation catering for corporate trips, executive jet catering for owner-flown legs, diplomatic flight catering when protocol asks for it, and cabin crew meals boxed separately.
Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at České Budějovice usually serves a short sector with a tight cabin: a plated hot main, a cold plate, a snack box. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same logic, luxury inflight catering means regional ingredients done well, and a private jet chef will write a bespoke menu around the trip brief and the guests' restrictions.
Government flight catering and head of state flight catering at České Budějovice are cleared through protocol before anything is cooked: names, restrictions and handover point agreed in advance. VIP aviation catering follows the same discipline, and state visit aircraft catering stays discreet, packed sealed and handed to the handling agent at the aircraft.
Dietary requests at České Budějovice are a procedure, and in Bohemian cooking the allergens hide in familiar places: flour in the roux behind svíčková and goulash, bread crumbs in schnitzel, dairy in the cream sauces, and fish stock in more soups than the menu admits. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are cooked separately with the restriction written on the box, sealed where required, and handed over with the rest of the order at the FBO.
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.
The crew eats at the end of the service, so we pack for that: crew meals on request, invoiced as any other line. Flight crew meals stay hot or cold as ordered, pilot meals are two dishes, not one, crew catering carries a CREW label, cockpit meals avoid sauces that drip, crew meal boxes are easy to open, and different meals for pilots is a standard request at České Budějovice. Cabin crew meals are boxed separately from guest food.
The van reaches the aircraft through the FBO, not around it. FBO catering for LKCS is confirmed with the handling agent first; catering delivery to the FBO is agreed against your slot, the general aviation terminal is where paperwork is checked, ground handling catering follows airside rules, and handling agent catering keeps everyone on the same order.
Light jets and turboprops are the usual traffic at LKCS, so galley catering here is mostly carried by hand or by trolley rather than lifted. Airside catering delivery follows the handling agent's access at the FBO, and aircraft provisioning is packed to what the galley of your type holds: one oven, a drawer, a small chiller. If a larger aircraft is booked in, tell us the type and we pack for its galley and loading door, with a high loader arranged through your handling agent.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
České Budějovice South Bohemian Airport (LKCS / JCL) serves the South Bohemian Region, a place of ponds, forest and brewing. Airport catering here is for business and general aviation traffic: a general aviation terminal, an apron sized for light and mid-size aircraft, and FBO services that run to the aircraft's door. Ground handling services are handled at the same terminal, so one point of contact covers paperwork, access and the handover of your order.
Business aviation to České Budějovice is about the region: industry, castles, the old brewing town. LKCS is a small business aviation hub rather than a large one, which suits owner-flown trips and short charter legs. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are packed for those short sectors; aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the trip brief; executive jet catering suits owner-flown trips; diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol; cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed separately from guest food. Ask your FBO services contact about slot and apron details.
As a Czech and EU airport, LKCS applies EU customs: animal-origin food from outside the Union is restricted, and leftover galley food may have to be discarded. Your handling agent and ground handling services staff can confirm what the aircraft may keep. The practical consequence for your order is to uplift fresh at České Budějovice instead of carrying product in, so the airport's business aviation hub routine stays simple on both arrival and departure.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 4 people at České Budějovice South Bohemian Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a short ground stop. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the main courses before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The order made business jet catering feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand. The cabin team could match the sauces to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
“Our priority at LKCS was mushroom risotto and a green salad for 5 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. My main takeaway from this business aviation catering order was the practical approach to galley preparation. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the side dishes stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
“I wanted chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 11 guests at JCL, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a short ground stop. I would discuss jet catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls labelled the breakfast portions in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the main courses without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
Cost depends on what you order. Smoked trout and pork loin are regional and straightforward, while an unusual import or a full kosher menu adds steps. Because Czech customs treat incoming food strictly, we build from local produce where we can and quote before anything is cooked.
For a long sector with a hot and a cold service, we cook one for the oven and pack the other chilled. Last-minute requests are taken day or night; it helps to say early if you want pond-fresh carp rather than smoked fish.
Outside the EU, animal-origin food cannot simply be carried in. We cook at origin of delivery locally so that the galley is stocked from Czech suppliers; your handling agent can confirm what the aircraft may keep.
Passengers can bring food on board, subject to the customs limits on animal products from outside the EU. For a long leg with two services, we pack what you cannot easily bring: the hot course.
Charter and catering are two different things. The aircraft price does not include food; the meal order is separate, quoted by menu, and delivered at the FBO. Czech customs are one more reason to leave sourcing to us.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
