Catering to your aircraft in Sønderborg.
A business jet at EKSB is usually on a quick rotation across Als and back into Germany or Scandinavia. We pack for that rhythm: cold plates that wait in the drawer, hot dishes for the oven, 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.
South Denmark is smørrebrød country, and a private jet menu for Sønderborg can start there: rye bread, a cold topping, a garnish packed on its own so nothing weeps in the drawer. The inflight menu draws on what the island of Als and the Baltic coast actually produce: smoked fish, pork from local farms, apples from the orchards of Als, strong cheese.
Our private jet food for EKSB keeps the local specialities recognisable once they leave the kitchen. Private jet platters of open sandwiches arrive in a flat box, gourmet inflight meals such as roast pork with red cabbage travel with the sauce in its own pot, and private jet snacks run to Danish pastry, marzipan and dark chocolate. Each is described for South Denmark and Sønderborg the way it will be served: oven, sauce apart, chilled or re-plated cold.
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.
The apron at EKSB is small, the weather off the Baltic changes the slot, and the order has to survive both. Private jet catering for Sønderborg means in-flight catering built around what the crew can carry from the FBO to the cabin door: trays that stack, cold plates that wait in the drawer, hot dishes that finish in the oven. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are handled the same way, and cabin crew meals go on the same order.
Business jet catering at Sønderborg is usually a small party on a working day: corporate jet catering for four to eight seats, VIP flight catering when the guest list is protocol-sensitive, and charter flight catering for groups heading across the border. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley, and luxury inflight catering here means rye, fish and clean plating, not decoration.
When a state delegation uses EKSB, government flight catering is a question of traceability and discretion. Head of state flight catering is cleared in advance, VIP aviation catering keeps a named contact, and state visit aircraft catering is handed over sealed, labelled by seat only.
Special meals at Sønderborg start from the local kitchen, not from a generic list. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate sealed box, with the seat number on the lid. Allergen free requests matter here because rye, wheat and dairy sit in nearly every Danish classic, and kids meals are built from the same ingredients, in smaller portions.

Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at Sønderborg are ordered on request with the trip and invoiced like the rest. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed in crew meal boxes that open with one hand, because cockpit meals are eaten between checks. Crew catering can offer different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it, and cabin crew meals share the same labelled drawer.
At Sønderborg, FBO catering means a handover at the general aviation terminal on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, ground handling catering is coordinated for airside access, and handling agent catering is simply a named contact on the day.
Business jets at EKSB are small enough that most galley catering goes up by hand, but larger aircraft on the Sønderborg apron change the plan: door height, steps and whether a high loader is needed decide how airside catering delivery is staged. Aircraft provisioning is agreed with your handling agent against the type, so the trolleys, boxes and drawers match what the galley can hold.
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.

Sønderborg Airport is the general aviation and business airfield of South Denmark, on the island of Als. Airport catering here is cooked and packed for a quiet apron, FBO services and ground handling services are on site, and the business aviation hub role is modest but steady.
Visitors to EKSB come for industry, the Danish-German border region and summer sailing. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are tailored to those flights. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are the baseline, diplomatic flight catering is rare, and cabin crew meals ride along on request.
At EKSB, customs are Danish and follow EU law. Food coming in from a non-EU airport is checked against the rules on animal products; food bought here and flown out follows the destination's rules. Tell us where the aircraft is going and we pack accordingly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 11 people at EKSB was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the salads, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the breakfast portions before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I would discuss in-flight catering services with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination.”
“Packing a cheese board and savoury canapés for 2 passengers at SGD needed careful thought, especially given a revised passenger count. I asked The Galley Girls for the crew provisions in stackable containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. This experience of aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure. Keeping the salads aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“Several practical details needed attention at Sønderborg Airport, with prawn salad and small fruit plates requested for 6 guests and several individual meal preferences to accommodate. The order made aviation catering services feel manageable because the galley preparation had been considered beforehand. The crew provisions supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the desserts identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
Ask for both services in one brief and we will price them side by side: one set chilled, one finishing in the oven. A private jet catering order for a long sector from EKSB reads as two short menus, which is also how the cabin crew will plate it.
A fixed slot and a short turnaround change what we recommend, not whether we can do it. Lead time for EKSB depends on the menu: smørrebrød and cold plates are quick to assemble, a roast with sauce needs more attention. Last-minute orders are handled, and the FBO is told where to expect the boxes.
Customs on a return order from EKSB is mostly about where you land. Danish suppliers label ingredients in a way that EU and non-EU authorities can read. If the destination restricts pork or dairy, we substitute rather than risk a held tray.
Yes, you can bring your own food through Sønderborg, subject to the customs rules of where you are going. What changes with a last-minute passenger count is portions: our orders are built by seat, so adding or removing one is a matter of repacking the labels rather than redoing the menu.
No, catering sits as its own order. A private jet charter into Sønderborg does not carry meals by default, so tell us the seat count and we price it separately. One local product, say frikadeller from a South Denmark butcher, is enough to make the menu feel placed.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
