Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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

What Ajaccio brings to your in-flight catering (AJA)

Corsica has a food identity that does not borrow from the mainland, and a private jet menu at Ajaccio can say so honestly. Brocciu, the fresh whey cheese, appears in fiadone and in savoury fillings; figatellu and lonzu cured over chestnut wood and the maquis give private jet food a flavour no catalogue can copy. These local specialities travel well when they are packed for the galley rather than for a restaurant.

For an inflight menu from Ajaccio we build around what holds: a board of Corsican charcuterie, aged sheep and goat cheeses, chestnut honey, clementines from the east coast and canistrelli biscuits for the end of the flight. Cap Corse and Patrimonio wines, and Orezza sparkling water, sit in the same order as the rest. Every private jet menu for the Corsica region is written for that aircraft, not recycled from another airfield.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport (LFKJ)

Ajaccio sits on the Gulf of Ajaccio with the runway running along the water, and summer traffic turns the general aviation apron into a puzzle of tails. Private jet catering here is built around that: island produce, a handover at the FBO, and a galley plan agreed before the slot. For inflight catering and in-flight catering on a short hop from the mainland, we keep the format light; aviation catering for longer rotations is planned round the aircraft. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for Corsica trips lean on cheese, charcuterie and citrus, and diplomatic flight catering or cabin crew meals are cleared with your handling agent.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport (AJA)

A business jet trip to Ajaccio is usually a weekend, a family or a short corporate visit, and the catering follows. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here lean on island produce; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are written for the cabin size. Luxury inflight catering, a private jet chef and a bespoke menu are available when the flight is a longer rotation than the usual hop from the mainland.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport

When an official flight lands at Ajaccio, the order goes through protocol, not through the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are prepared by a small named team, with VIP aviation catering rules on labels and handover. For state visit aircraft catering we confirm the route to the aircraft with your handling agent and security.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport (AJA)

At Ajaccio the dietary question is mostly about hidden ingredients in island cooking: pork in the charcuterie, nuts in the chestnut pastries, sheep cheese in most fillings. Kosher and halal orders are prepared and packed in their own trays, with a separate board for vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates, so special meals do not touch the local menu by accident. Kids meals come on the same sealed system, marked by seat number, with simple plain dishes alongside the Corsican ones.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Ajaccio (AJA)

On the Gulf of Ajaccio, the crew's dishes are something you ask for and pay for as a normal line on the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed for hands that cannot stop; crew catering is boxed so it can be eaten between checks. Cockpit meals can be a different menu, and crew meal boxes are marked CREW. We can send different meals for pilots if the operator asks for it, and cabin crew meals are sized to the rotation.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport

Our driver reports to the FBO, and the handling agent takes it from there. FBO catering at Ajaccio is straightforward: catering delivery to the FBO, airside access through the general aviation terminal and ground handling catering coordinated with your agent. Handling agent catering is the final step before the trays reach the cabin.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport (AJA)

Ajaccio handles business jets from light to large cabin, and the aircraft decides how the galley is loaded. A smaller jet with a single oven calls for galley catering built in drawers and sealed trays; a larger cabin can take a trolley run in one go. Airside catering delivery follows the FBO and the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is agreed with the crew before the slot, so the high loader or the hand carry is chosen for the door, not the other way round.

About the airportLFKJ / AJA

Aviation catering and business aviation at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport (AJA)

Corsica's capital airport sits at 18 feet above sea level, on a thin strip between the sea and the hills. General aviation uses the same runway as the airlines, so airport catering and FBO services have to fit around the schedule. Ground handling services take the lead on the apron.

Business aviation

Ajaccio is a seasonal business aviation hub. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for yachting season charters, aviation catering and business aviation catering for owners flying in for the weekend, executive jet catering for corporate visits, diplomatic flight catering for official stops and cabin crew meals for the rotation that follows. All are ordered and invoiced separately.

Customs & food import

Corsica is part of France and of the EU, so flights from the mainland or from EU airports face no food customs at Ajaccio. Arrivals from outside the EU follow French rules on meat and dairy, and we plan the menu around that. Your handling agent can confirm the paperwork for any special case.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“With limited fridge space to consider at AJA, we needed a practical way to serve chicken skewers with a couscous salad to 5 passengers. The Galley Girls prepared the canapés for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. It made a difference to have the sauces ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. For our team, the strongest part of their inflight catering services was how they handled catering handover.”

Anna T. | VIP flight attendant

Global 6000

★★★★★CHARTER

“Rather than an elaborate service at Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte airport, our 7 guests wanted prawn salad and small fruit plates, organised sensibly around different crew meal preferences. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The side dishes remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. I want an inflight catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Sami X. | Charter operator

Falcon 900LX

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Service planning came first at LFKJ, with 9 passengers choosing a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables and a family lunch request influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls grouped the main courses by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

The Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte questionsAsked by crews

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

The same dinner costs different amounts on different aircraft. A brocciu tart and a Corsican stew for six on a mid-size jet is a different order from the same dishes for fourteen. How much does private jet catering cost at Ajaccio is therefore a question about your galley first, your guests second and the day third.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Ajaccio?+

Ajaccio is a seasonal airport, and the weather window decides a lot: summer slots fill quickly, while winter mistral days can move departures at short notice. The lead time for private jet catering here is therefore easy to work with: orders are placed against your slot, and last-minute orders are handled when a departure is brought forward or pushed back by wind.

What about customs when catering for a return leg from Ajaccio?+

A return leg ordered here is packed for the next border. Corsican produce is fine inside the EU, but a flight out of the EU needs plain, sealed dishes with clear labelling. Customs rules at the arrival airport decide what we put on the return menu from LFKJ.

Can you bring food of your own on a night departure from Ajaccio?+

Passengers sometimes arrive at LFKJ with their own food, and for a late departure it can work. We would still suggest ordering the essentials from us, because a night slot leaves no room to fix a missing allergen sheet or a dish that needs an oven the aircraft does not have.

Is catering part of a charter into Ajaccio?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own, like any order. Charter paperwork covers the aircraft, so the food is a second booking. Your handling agent clears our driver airside at LFKJ, and the trays are handed over at the FBO.
