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 Kuressaare (URE)

Saare County has a short, precise larder, and a private jet menu at Kuressaare is written from it. Smoked Baltic herring and flounder, cured salmon, Saaremaa lamb, local cheese and dark rye bread travel well, so they anchor the inflight menu. Private jet food from the island suits cold service: sliced and plated at the seat, with sauces apart.

Private jet platters built on island produce are the natural fit for EEKE: smoked fish, cured meats, rye canapes, pickles and berries. Gourmet inflight meals follow the season, so a June flight to Saaremaa carries young potatoes and dill, while winter leans on game, root vegetables and juniper. Private jet snacks stay simple: rye crisps, nuts and sea buckthorn sweets. These local specialities in Saare County travel well because most are served chilled or finished in a galley oven.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Kuressaare Airport (EEKE)

Summer on Saaremaa brings spa weekends, yacht-season arrivals and the odd official visit, and EEKE sees mostly light and midsize jets. Private jet catering for Kuressaare means cold plates that hold in a drawer and a few hot items finished in the galley oven. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all start from the aircraft type and the seat plan. Cabin crew meals are a separate line, requested and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Kuressaare (EEKE)

Most business flights into EEKE carry four to eight guests in a light or midsize jet. Business jet catering is built for that: chilled platters, a hot course if the oven allows, and sauces apart. Corporate jet catering and charter flight catering are ordered with the tail and the slot, VIP flight catering follows the guest list, and a private jet chef plans a bespoke menu that tastes of Saaremaa. Luxury inflight catering stays quiet and precise.

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Kuressaare Airport (URE)

When an official delegation lands on Saaremaa, the menu is cleared by the protocol contact first. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: a named team, full traceability and nothing labelled with a guest's name.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Kuressaare Airport

Special meals at a small island airport like Kuressaare depend on what the kitchen can keep separate. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are cooked on their own boards and packed apart from other trays. Rye and barley are everywhere in Saaremaa cooking, so allergen free and gluten free dishes are built from scratch, with a separate box. Kids meals are simple and mild, and every special meal is marked by seat number, not by name.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Kuressaare Airport

On a short Saaremaa turnaround, the crew eats between tasks. Crew meals are requested with the flight and billed as their own line; flight crew meals can be a hot dish or a cold box, pilot meals come in separate boxes, and crew catering is labelled CREW. Cockpit meals avoid sauces that spill, crew meal boxes are easy to stow, and different meals for pilots are packed when asked for. Cabin crew meals are requested and billed in just the same manner, with their own CREW label.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Kuressaare Airport

Delivery to the aircraft goes through the FBO. We coordinate with your handling agent for access, and the general aviation terminal at Kuressaare is the usual meeting point. FBO catering, catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one chain, confirmed by phone or email on your slot.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Kuressaare Airport

Most aircraft at EEKE are light and midsize jets, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand, with no high loader needed. Airside catering delivery follows the apron rules your handling agent applies at Kuressaare. For a larger type, aircraft provisioning is planned around the cabin door height and the galley layout, which we confirm before the slot.

About the airportEEKE / URE

Airport catering at Kuressaare Airport (EEKE)

Kuressaare Airport is a small regional field on the island of Saaremaa, with one runway and a terminal shared by scheduled and general aviation traffic. Airport catering here works at human scale: few aircraft on the apron, a handling agent who knows each tail, and ground handling services that stay unhurried. A general aviation visit rarely feels crowded, and FBO services are kept simple for the same reason.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Kuressaare peaks in summer, when spa visitors, yachts and island weddings bring jets in. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights lean on fish, lamb and rye. Aviation catering and business aviation catering stay compact, executive jet catering suits small cabins, diplomatic flight catering is occasional and discreet, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered alongside. Ground handling services are arranged with the same visit. EEKE is a quiet business aviation hub.

Customs & food import

Customs at an Estonian airport applies EU veterinary and import rules. In practice, food produced locally avoids most difficulties, and our menus for Kuressaare are cooked in Estonia. Your handling agent, who provides the ground handling services on the apron, will tell you which flights need declarations; we adjust the menu to match.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“The cabin briefing at EEKE included 4 passenger meals, a request for mushroom risotto and a green salad, and instructions addressing an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sauces, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The salads were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. With business jet catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Packing herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 6 passengers at URE needed careful thought, especially given limited fridge space. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the fruit plates before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the side dishes to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. This experience of business aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing final order confirmation on another departure.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 4 guests at Kuressaare Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls suggested shallow trays for the breakfast portions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. For our team, the strongest part of their jet catering was how they handled galley preparation. I could hand the sandwiches to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Before you order at EEKEAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Kuressaare?+

Think of the galley first: how many drawers, whether there is an oven, what the aircraft can hold. A private jet catering order from EEKE is then priced by menu and headcount, and anything added later, such as kosher or halal dishes, is its own line.

What lead time do you need for a Kuressaare departure?+

Orders for Kuressaare are easiest when we know the slot and the turnaround. A longer stay gives room for a hot course; a quick one suits a cold plate. Either way, late changes are handled.

Are there customs rules for a delegation or government flight into Kuressaare?+

Estonia is in the EU, and food on international flights follows EU import rules. For a government or delegation flight, meat and dairy brought from outside the EU are restricted, which is why a menu cooked locally is simpler. Head of state flight catering and diplomatic flight catering go through protocol before anything is cooked.

Can you bring food on a short repositioning flight into Kuressaare?+

Short legs into EEKE with nobody in the cabin still need the crew to eat. Bringing food is possible within customs rules, but a prepared box at the FBO avoids declarations. Ask for different meals for pilots if the operator requires it.

Is catering part of a charter if I order a return leg from Kuressaare?+

The charter price from the operator does not include food. For the leg back from Saaremaa, you order catering as a new request, and we cook and pack it for the aircraft at Kuressaare.
