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.

Regional dishes of La Rochelle for jet catering at LRH

The inflight menu at LFBH is a menu of the Atlantic coast. Think of oysters opened that morning, langoustines from the Pertuis, grilled sardines, and a Charentais melon course in July. Private jet food from La Rochelle is meant to taste regional, not generic: we choose what holds its texture in a drawer and what needs a sauce kept apart. {Region} is a rich source for this, and La Rochelle is where it all lands.

Local specialities on a private jet menu for La Rochelle include mojhettes with confit duck, Charente butter, Pineau des Charentes-glazed fruit, and the salted caramel that Île de Ré is known for. Private jet platters at LFBH mix a seafood board, regional cheeses and cured meats; gourmet inflight meals add a cooked fish with its sauce apart; private jet snacks cover the cabin between courses with sablés, almonds and fleur de sel crisps. Each item is packed to survive a small galley and re-plated by the crew.

From Nouvelle-Aquitaine to the cabin: Limousin beef, Marennes-Oléron oysters, Cognac used in a sauce rather than a pour, Bordeaux served in the aircraft's own glassware. Private jet food for La Rochelle follows the season, so a winter order is about shellfish and root vegetables and a summer order is about tomatoes, melon and cold fish. Local specialities are never a gimmick; they are the reason guests land here.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport (LFBH)

La Rochelle Île de Ré is a single-runway Atlantic airport that fills with summer leisure traffic and quieter business movements the rest of the year. Private jet catering at LFBH follows that tide: seafood and Charente produce in season, simple cold plates when the galley has no oven. We write inflight catering for the aircraft you actually fly, aviation catering that is plated and labelled for re-plating, and handed over at the FBO. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering for the owner's family, diplomatic flight catering on request, and cabin crew meals all start with a brief from you.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport (LRH)

A business jet catering order at La Rochelle is usually a small party on a coastal run: owner, guests, sometimes a family for the Île de Ré weekend. Corporate jet catering here leans on seafood and Charente produce, cooked or cold according to the galley you have. For charter flight catering, the brief comes from the broker or the flight department; VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering are written by a private jet chef around the season and the cabin, with a bespoke menu rather than a fixed list. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for a night arrival at LFBH are packed to be served after a long day.

Head of state flight catering at LFBH means traceable ingredients, a named person on our side and total discretion.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport (LFBH)

At La Rochelle the special meals question starts with shellfish: oysters and mussels are everywhere in the local kitchen, so allergen free requests are cooked on a separate board and in a separate pan. Kosher and halal meals are ordered with the flight and packed sealed. Vegan and gluten free plates use regional vegetables, chestnut flour and the local salt. Kids meals are simple and cold when the aircraft has no oven.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport

Where does the food go at LFBH? To the FBO on the general aviation apron, or straight to the aircraft steps when your handling agent opens the gate for it. FBO catering is the first conversation; catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is the second; ground handling catering and handling agent catering are settled in the same brief, with the tail and the stand on your slot. On a small field like La Rochelle, one contact on the apron is usually enough.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport (LRH)

A mid-size business jet at LFBH is loaded through the main door, but a larger cabin or a delegation aircraft can need a high loader for galley catering. Airside catering delivery at La Rochelle is coordinated with your handling agent: the aircraft type decides the door, the loader and the order in which trolleys go in. Aircraft provisioning for a long sector is packed in sealed boxes and counted at the steps.

About the airportLFBH / LRH

About La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport: business aviation and airport catering

LFBH serves La Rochelle and the Île de Ré with a compact terminal and a general aviation apron, busy in summer and calm in winter.

Business aviation

La Rochelle is a small business aviation hub where general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services run on a short apron. Airport catering here is inflight catering and in-flight catering for a single party, aviation catering and business aviation catering for the crew, executive jet catering for the owner, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals when asked.

Customs & food import

Customs at La Rochelle follow EU practice: meat and dairy brought from outside Europe cannot be landed, so catering is sourced locally and sealed. Ask us what your crew can carry off the aircraft.

“Choosing roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 7 people at La Rochelle Île de Ré Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the salads could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the desserts ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. This experience of private jet food gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure.”

★★★★☆CHARTER

“Keeping the galley organised at LFBH meant planning roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 7 guests with several individual meal preferences in mind. After a final adjustment to the canapés, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. My main takeaway from this private jet meals order was the practical approach to storage requirements. The note about the starters was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

“As the person coordinating vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 7 passengers at LRH, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. Our brief for private jet menu was met with a sensible plan for portion planning. I asked The Galley Girls to review the sandwiches quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the canapés before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Ordering for LFBH, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at La Rochelle when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Think of how much private jet catering costs here as a question of what you order, not a rate. When the headcount changes late, we repack: a seafood tower for six replaces one for four, a cheese board stays the same. We send an updated invoice, with each change visible.

What is the lead time for a government or delegation flight at LFBH?+

Delegation flights are briefed differently: we ask for seat numbers, restrictions and the list of who eats what. At La Rochelle the lead time is simplified by a single FBO apron and by a small, predictable local supply. Last-minute orders are handled.

What are the customs rules for a kosher, halal or allergen meal into France?+

Customs into France treat catering as aircraft stores when it stays on board, so special meals ordered at LFBH are packed sealed and declared with the flight. Kosher and halal certificates travel with the meal; an allergen plate is labelled by seat.

Can you bring food to LFBH for the crew while waiting on the ground?+

Crew duty time decides whether a meal in a box is enough or whether a plated meal is needed. At La Rochelle we pack crew meal boxes by name of role, with the cockpit meals marked apart from the cabin.

Is catering part of a charter into La Rochelle when the slot is tight?+

The charter contract does not cover catering, and a short turnaround at LFBH does not change that. You order it and we invoice it. A sealed drawer of cold plates is the usual answer when the ground time is brief.
