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

Turku on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at TKU

The private jet menu for Turku starts at the sea. Archipelago whitefish and Baltic herring appear on many Finnish tables, and on an inflight menu they travel best smoked, cured or served cold with the sauce in its own pot. Private jet food here also leans on rye: the dense dark loaf of Southwest Finland holds up in a galley drawer far better than a soft roll.

Local specialities from Southwest Finland Region include Åland-style dark bread, new potatoes in season, dill, and the Turku sweet-sour rye baking tradition. Cloudberry and lingonberry arrive as preserves and compotes that plate cleanly after a long leg. Turku itself is the city from which the region's menu is built, and we pack it for your crew to finish, not to cook.

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

Turku Airport sits on a low plateau at 161 ft, on the edge of the Finnish archipelago, and the food that suits a cabin here comes from the water and the rye field. Private jet catering for EFTU follows that: whitefish, archipelago bread, cloudberry and a galley-ready service for crews who land on a wet Baltic evening. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are written around the aircraft you actually fly. Business aviation catering and aviation catering run beside executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals when the manifest asks for them.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Turku Airport (TKU)

For business jet catering at Turku, the brief is usually a corporate jet with four to eight seats and a cold-and-light preference. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here start with what survives the galley: rye, smoked fish, cheese and a berry dessert. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering use the same dishes, adjusted for the leg. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your seat plan, and our private jet charter guests choose from local ingredients.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Turku Airport (EFTU)

At Turku the kitchen question is where allergens hide: rye, wheat flour, dairy and fish all appear in the local dishes. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, special meals, allergen free and kids meals each get their own board and their own box, marked with a seat number, and the labelling is a procedure, not a promise.

FBO catering at Turku Airport (TKU): delivery to your aircraft

At EFTU the FBO catering route starts with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO ends at the apron; the general aviation terminal is where paperwork is checked, and ground handling catering is coordinated with the airside team. Handling agent catering is the same here as anywhere.

About the airportEFTU / TKU

About Turku Airport (EFTU): aviation catering and general aviation

Turku Airport serves Southwest Finland and sits on the Baltic coast, with a single main runway and a compact terminal. Airport catering for business aviation is straightforward here, and general aviation traffic is steady through the summer months. FBO services and ground handling services are available, and the field works as a small business aviation hub in the region.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Turku grows each summer, when the archipelago brings visitors and inflight catering orders follow. In-flight catering for light jets is common, and aviation catering for midsize types is routine. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering draw on local produce, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are arranged on request.

Customs & food import

Finland applies EU food rules, so meat, fish and dairy from outside the EU face restrictions on entry. For Turku orders, local sourcing avoids most of this. We tell you before the slot if a dish would trigger a check, and your handling agent confirms the rest.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“One detail shaped our order at EFTU: limited fridge space, alongside a request for grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 3 passengers. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of starters with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the side dishes listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. For FBO catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Choosing grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 4 people at TKU was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with two separate meal services. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the side dishes had been grouped. The cabin team could match the canapés to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about airport catering.”

Louis H. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Before our guests boarded at Turku Airport, we needed a charcuterie board and fresh bread divided into 9 portions suitable for an evening cabin service. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the fruit plates to arrive in compact food boxes. The order made inflight catering feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand. We placed the snack boxes in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

The Turku questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg with two services at Turku?+

The honest answer starts with the leg. A flight with breakfast and a dinner a few hours apart is built differently from one with a single meal. At Turku we price from the menu you choose, seat by seat, so how much does private jet catering cost comes from the order itself.

What is the lead time for catering at Turku given Finnish food-import rules?+

Customs and food-import rules in Finland make local menus the easiest to plan. For lead time at Turku, choose Finnish produce and the order moves quickly; imported items may need more steps. Last-minute orders are handled.

How do customs work for catering on a long leg with two services at Turku?+

For customs at EFTU, a flight with two services carries more food, and anything left over on arrival from a non-EU origin may need disposal. Plan the second service with that in mind; local Finnish produce raises no issues.

Can you bring food from home on board at Turku, given Finland's import rules?+

Customs and food-import rules in Finland limit animal products from outside the EU. Can you bring food to Turku? Dry snacks usually pass; fresh meat, fish and dairy are the problem, and local sourcing avoids it.

Is catering part of a charter on a long leg with two services into Turku?+

Charter terms rarely include food, and Turku is no exception: catering is ordered and invoiced separately. With two services on a long leg, the clean way is one order covering both.
