Catering to your aircraft in Esbjerg.
Esbjerg's flat coastal field runs on offshore energy traffic, and the executive jets in between need food that suits a short, salty-air turnaround. We cook and pack for your galley and deliver to the FBO.
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.
South Denmark is fish country first: plaice, herring, shrimp and cod come off the boats at Esbjerg's harbour, and that shapes every private jet menu we write for EKEB. A good inflight menu here starts with what the coast gives in the season, packed so it survives the galley.
Smørrebrød is the local specialities headliner, rye bread built open-faced and cut to portions per passenger. We pack the bread, toppings and remoulade separately so private jet food stays crisp until your crew assembles it. Stjerneskud, the classic plaice dish, travels as fillets and sauce apart.
For longer legs, private jet platters carry smoked fish, Danish cheeses, cold cuts and pickles, while private jet snacks run to salted licorice, rye crisps and marzipan. Gourmet inflight meals from South Denmark lean on dill, butter and good bread rather than anything fussy.

Esbjerg Airport sits on the flat Jutland coast facing the North Sea, a field built around offshore energy crews and helicopter shuttles, which is where private jet catering here begins. Business jets use the general aviation side of EKEB, and we pack for the galley you actually fly with. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for Esbjerg are the same brief seen from three desks, and business aviation catering is the one that lands on yours. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering for official visitors follow the same routine, and cabin crew meals are packed as separate, labelled boxes.
Business jet catering at EKEB is usually a corporate brief: energy-sector executives, a small cabin, a compact galley. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all start from the headcount and the oven. Luxury inflight catering from a private jet chef follows a bespoke menu built around Danish fish and rye, with the sauce kept apart.
When an official aircraft lands at EKEB, discretion matters more than volume. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are agreed with protocol ahead of any cooking, and the handover stays quiet.
Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are special meals handled as a procedure, not a label. Danish cooking hides allergens in rye, remoulade and fish stock, so at Esbjerg we check the bread, sauces and fryer separately and pack each special meal in its own sealed box with the seat number on it.
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 crew waiting out the North Sea weather, we pack crew meals that hold: flight crew meals in labelled boxes, pilot meals kept apart from passenger trays, and crew catering ordered like any other line. Cockpit meals are simple to eat, crew meal boxes stack in the drawer, and different meals for pilots are provided on request.
FBO catering at Esbjerg means catering delivery to the FBO and a handover at the aircraft on your slot. The general aviation terminal at EKEB handles access, and ground handling catering is coordinated with your handling agent, so handling agent catering reaches the cabin door without detours.
Aircraft at EKEB range from light jets to larger corporate and charter types, and the type decides how galley catering is loaded. We ask for the tail, the door and whether a high loader is needed for airside catering delivery, then plan aircraft provisioning around the galley you have, with carts or boxes to match.
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.

EKEB is a regional field on Jutland's west coast, valued for quick, uncomplicated general aviation. FBO services and ground handling services are straightforward here, and airport catering fits around the apron and the slot.
Esbjerg is a business aviation hub for the North Sea energy sector, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered by operators who know the field. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering suit corporate shuttles, diplomatic flight catering suits official visitors, and cabin crew meals are packed separately.
Danish and EU rules govern what food crosses the border, with animal products from third countries the usual limit. Ordering fresh at EKEB avoids the problem, and we flag any restriction before the aircraft departs.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around a family lunch request at Esbjerg Airport, I asked for roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables in portions appropriate for our 8 passengers. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the canapés, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of fruit plates matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. With in-flight catering, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Our priority at EKEB was poached fish with steamed rice for 12 passengers, with several individual meal preferences shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the salads readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. For our team, the strongest part of their vip inflight catering was how they handled final order confirmation. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
“My order at EBJ covered herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 12 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of two separate meal services. For private jet catering, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls prepared the fruit plates for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. It made a difference to have the canapés ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
Think of a special-meal request as its own small order inside yours. At EKEB a halal lamb dish or a sealed gluten free tray is prepared away from the main kitchen line, labelled and priced separately, so the total depends on how many restrictions are aboard.
Start with the aircraft: the size of its galley decides what we can cook and pack. A small jet at Esbjerg gets a tight, well-chosen menu, a larger one gets more courses. Last-minute orders are handled, so the lead time question is really a galley question.
Short empty legs are where customs surprises happen. Denmark's EU framework limits animal products from third countries, so on a repositioning flight into EKEB we pack fresh, local and sealed, and the declaration stays simple.
If the layover is long, ordering is easier than carrying. EKEB crew catering arrives sealed and labelled, so a pilot can eat without opening a passenger tray, and it is charged on request like the rest.
Catering sits outside a charter, so you request it on its own and receive its own invoice. At EKEB we watch the coastal conditions with you, then hand the food over to the aircraft once the departure is confirmed.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
