Catering to your aircraft in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage.
At Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale the day follows the sea: fog, wind and a weekend crowd decide the slot. We cook for the small galley you have, and your crew gets labelled dishes, handed over at the aircraft.
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.
The Opal Coast gives a private jet menu at Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale a clear identity: the sea, the dairies of the Pas-de-Calais and the bakeries of the resort town. Our private jet menu and inflight menu for LFAT lean on that, so private jet food here tastes of Hauts-de-France and not of a generic hotel kitchen.
Local specialities travel well when the dish is planned for the galley. Potted smoked herring and Boulogne-sur-Mer fish arrive chilled and are plated cold, a Maroilles tart goes into the oven, and a Welsh-style rarebit from the Nord comes with its sauce apart. Private jet platters built from these products suit a light-jet cabin where the flight attendant has a drawer and a small oven, and nothing more.
For gourmet inflight meals we keep the region on the plate: grey shrimp from the coast, Bergues and Maroilles cheeses, endive from the Nord, and a tarte au sucre from the pastry counter. Add private jet snacks such as speculoos and salted caramel from the north, and the Côte d'Opale is on board before the door closes.
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.
Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale sits at 36 ft above sea level on the Opal Coast, and a seaside weekend crowd shapes the movements here far more than office hours do. Private jet catering at LFAT is written around that rhythm: light jets and turboprops with small galleys, cold platters that survive the drawer, and hot dishes that finish in your oven. We also cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for the same stand, plus aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators who position through Le Touquet-Paris-Plage regularly.
Business jet catering at LFAT is usually a light-jet brief: four to eight guests, a short weekend leg, a small galley. Corporate jet catering here favours cold seafood and one hot dish. For VIP flight catering and charter flight catering we adapt the menu, and luxury inflight catering uses a private jet chef who can write a bespoke menu around Opal Coast products.
Government flight catering at LFAT is rare but real: an official visit to the Côte d'Opale or a head of state flight catering request is handled through the protocol office, not the kitchen. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering mean a named team, traceable ingredients and discretion at the aircraft.
Dietary needs at Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale mean looking at a cuisine of fish, butter and wheat. Shellfish and fish are a constant in Hauts-de-France, so allergen free and gluten free orders are packed on a separate board and in a separate box, with a card for each guest. Kosher, halal and vegan special meals are cooked for the order and sent sealed. Kids meals follow the same labels, by seat, so the flight attendant never has to guess in a small galley.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Ask for crew meals when you book the leg and they arrive marked CREW. At LTQ, flight crew meals suit a turnaround, and pilot meals are packed so each pilot has a different dish, which keeps the flight deck safe. Crew catering is on request and invoiced; cockpit meals are easy to eat, and crew meal boxes close tight. Different meals for pilots are a standard request, and cabin crew meals can follow the same box.
FBO catering at LFAT is handed over at the aircraft, with the handling agent meeting the order at the general aviation terminal. Catering delivery to the FBO is booked with the slot, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so airside access is cleared.
Most movements at LFAT are light jets, turboprops and the occasional midsize aircraft, so galley catering here rarely needs a high loader. Where a larger aircraft does position into Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, aircraft provisioning and airside catering delivery are arranged with the handling agent before the slot. Whatever the type, the galley decides the loading: we cook and pack for the oven and drawers you actually have.
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.

Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale is a coastal airport in Hauts-de-France that supports general aviation and seasonal business traffic. Airport catering here is built for small aircraft, with FBO services and ground handling services that suit a quick turnaround.
As a business aviation hub for the Opal Coast, LFAT sees weekend leisure flights more than weekday corporate ones. Private aviation catering here covers inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering, plus diplomatic flight catering for the odd official visit and cabin crew meals for every rotation.
France applies EU rules on animal products, and customs at Le Touquet are handled through your handling agent. Food leaving for a non-EU destination such as the UK faces stricter limits on meat and dairy, so tell us the next landing and we pack accordingly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at LTQ, where 4 guests expected smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit despite a changing departure schedule. I would discuss inflight catering services with them again, especially when written menu details needs careful coordination. We changed the quantities of side dishes, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the starters against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“As the person coordinating herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 6 passengers at Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale Airport, I needed an arrangement that considered a family lunch request. I want an inflight catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the salads and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The breakfast portions went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“Service planning came first at LFAT, with 4 passengers choosing a breakfast basket with individual preserves and limited fridge space influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls labelled the canapés in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The snack boxes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at final order confirmation after this experience.”
Ask yourself how much galley you really have. A turboprop on a coastal hop needs a small box and a pastry, while a long weekend rotation needs a full private jet catering menu. Costs are agreed per order, and sole costs more than potjevleesch.
Peak weekends in Hauts-de-France coastal season fill the apron, so ordering early secures your product, especially fresh shellfish. Outside that, lead time is relaxed and late orders are handled. We stay on the line 24/7 if the window moves.
A return leg ordered here is packed for the border it will cross. Cross-Channel flights are common from Le Touquet, and post-Brexit UK rules on animal products are strict, so we advise cooked dishes, bakery and sealed items for those legs and keep cheese and charcuterie for EU arrivals.
You can, but we advise against relying on it. A private jet departing LFAT in the early morning or after dark is easier with catering handed over at the aircraft, because shops in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage close and the handling agent should not be left carrying cold bags. Carrying your own food is a customs and hygiene question, not a convenience one.
A private jet charter contract does not normally cover meals. At Le Touquet-Côte d'Opale, the order is placed with us, invoiced apart, and passed to your handling agent so they can bring it through to the stand.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
