Catering to your aircraft in Limoges/Bellegarde.
On a plateau at 1,300 ft, LFBL is a quiet apron where Limousin beef, chestnuts and walnuts end up in your galley, packed by seat and handed to the aircraft by your FBO.
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.
Limousin is beef country, and the Limousin breed is the reference: a roast fillet or a rump sliced for the tray is the natural centre of a private jet menu out of Limoges. The inflight menu then follows the plateau: chestnuts in autumn, walnuts from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine valleys, Corrèze apples, and clafoutis with the black cherries of the region. Private jet food here travels best as local specialities that are cooked ahead and finished on board, not assembled at altitude.
For Limoges, private jet platters start with charcuterie and cheeses of the Limousin and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, boxed and ready to slide into the drawer. Gourmet inflight meals lean on veal, beef and river fish, with the sauce kept apart. Private jet snacks are chestnut and walnut biscuits, which hold in a galley without a chiller. Nouvelle-Aquitaine supplies the produce, Limoges/Bellegarde the hand-over, and the local specialities keep each tray recognisably regional.

A 1,300 ft field in the Limousin, LFBL sees business aircraft mostly on corporate rotations, and private jet catering here is built around Limousin beef, chestnuts and a galley that rarely has more than a small oven. Inflight catering for Limoges Airport is cooked, labelled by seat and passed to the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. In-flight catering is written per rotation, not per airport.
Business jet catering at Limoges is a short brief: aircraft type, seat count and the oven on board. Corporate jet catering here suits day trips from the Limousin, and VIP flight catering follows the same logic with finer plating. Charter flight catering for LIG is ordered separately from the aircraft, and luxury inflight catering uses regional beef and cheeses. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley and the passengers.
When an official aircraft lands at LFBL, government flight catering is planned with the protocol office, not decided at the ramp. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering use a small, discreet team, and state visit aircraft catering is traceable from kitchen to cabin.
Special meals at Limoges follow the regional kitchen, which leans on butter, walnut, chestnut, cheese and cured pork: that is where allergens hide. Kosher and halal orders are handled as a separate preparation, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on their own board, and allergen free meals are packed apart from the main trays, with kids meals and special meals marked by seat number.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At LIG, crew catering is an order like any other: crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals are priced per menu and billed on the invoice. Cockpit meals are packed to be eaten between tasks, crew meal boxes carry the crew label, cabin crew meals sit apart from guest food, and different meals for pilots are prepared on request.
For LFBL, we organise FBO catering with the handling agent who meets the aircraft: catering delivery to the FBO, passage through the general aviation terminal, and a check against the order. Ground handling catering is therefore one contact on the day, and handling agent catering is confirmed beforehand.
Aircraft at Limoges are mostly light and mid-size business jets, so galley catering is usually loaded by hand at the door. When a larger aircraft arrives, airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are arranged with your handling agent, with the galley type confirmed beforehand.

Limoges Airport serves the Limousin and wider Nouvelle-Aquitaine, with a modest general aviation apron and corporate traffic across the year. At 1,300 ft elevation on a plateau, mist and cooler air are part of the picture, and airport catering here stays close to local produce.
Business aviation hub is too grand a word for Limoges, yet inflight catering and in-flight catering here suit corporate rotations well. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are adapted to a small galley, executive jet catering favours regional beef, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed apart. FBO services and ground handling services keep the apron simple.
France follows EU rules on food imports: meat and dairy arriving from outside the EU face limits, while meals prepared in France move easily. Customs at Limoges look at what is loaded, so keep your handling agent informed of the menu and any restriction.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around a tight boarding window at LFBL, I asked for smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit in portions appropriate for our 10 passengers. My main takeaway from this aviation catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the breakfast portions had been grouped. Knowing where the crew provisions were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
“Clear quantities were essential at LIG: we had 3 passengers expecting prawn salad and small fruit plates and were working around a short ground stop. I needed the canapés checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. There was no need to reconstruct the starters quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. For our team, the strongest part of their aviation catering services was how they handled storage requirements.”
“A request for chicken skewers with a couscous salad, 7 passengers, and limited fridge space: that was our brief for the departure at Limoges Airport. The snack boxes from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. I want an aviation catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Cost of private jet catering at Limoges for a repositioning leg is easiest to see by example: two crew trays of cold cuts and fruit sit at the low end, while a beef fillet with sauce apart sits higher. Nothing else changes the figure much on an empty leg.
A long flight with two services leaves little room in a small galley, so lead time at Limoges is about confirming the type and the oven. Late requests are handled, and local produce such as veal or chestnut is easy to source for LIG.
When the passenger count shifts at the last minute out of LFBL, customs still looks at what is on board, not at how many are eating. Food prepared locally in France avoids most import questions, and the headcount can be corrected before hand-over.
For official flights through Limoges, passengers can carry their own meals, but security and customs may check them. A catering order with a named contact and sealed trays tends to move through the terminal more smoothly.
Charter and catering are separate at Limoges. A special meal request, allergen or religious, is added to your food order, prepared apart, and handed over at the aircraft with the other trays.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
