Private jet catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL / LYS), Colombier-Saugnieu

Catering to your aircraft in Colombier-Saugnieu.

Lyon Saint-Exupéry sits at 821 ft on the plain east of the city, and its business-aviation traffic swings from trade-fair weeks to winter ski rotations toward the Alps. We cook for the galley you actually have, pack it by seat number, and hand it 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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

What Colombier-Saugnieu, Rhône brings to your in-flight catering (LYS)

Lyon is the table of France, and an airport catering order here can lean on it. A private jet menu at LFLL can build on quenelle de brochet in its Nantua sauce, saucisson brioché, cervelas truffé, Saint-Marcellin and Saint-Félicien cheeses, and the praline tart that Lyon calls its own. These local specialities are not equal in a galley: the quenelles go out chilled with the sauce in its own pot, the tart is cut per passenger.

For an inflight menu from Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Rhône valley supplies much of the private jet food we pack: Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie wines for the cellar request, Bresse poultry for a hot main, walnuts and honey from the hills, charcuterie from the Lyon markets. Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes also means Beaufort and Reblochon from the Alps, which suit a cold platter. We pick what holds up at altitude and leave the rest on the market stall.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL)

Winter ski charters bound for the Alps and autumn trade-fair weeks give LFLL two very different cabins to feed. Private jet catering here means a Lyonnais menu that survives a drawer: inflight catering for the guests, cabin crew meals for the rotation, and aviation catering packed for a light jet or a long-range cabin alike. Business aviation catering at Lyon also covers executive jet catering for delegations, and diplomatic flight catering when a ministerial party transits. In-flight catering follows what your galley can really do.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS)

Business jet catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry is usually a brief written around the aircraft: how many seats, which galley, which leg next. Corporate jet catering for a Lyon trade-fair week differs from VIP flight catering for a ski charter bound for the Alps. Charter flight catering for a mixed party and luxury inflight catering for a long sector all start from the same question. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your oven and your drawers.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport

Government flight catering at Lyon is rare but exact: the menu is checked before it is cooked, and the team that packs it is named. Head of state flight catering follows the same discipline, with traceability from the kitchen to the aircraft door. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering mean discretion, and nothing about the order leaves the protocol channel.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport

Lyon's classic kitchen is built on pork, butter, cream and flour, so allergens hide in places a menu does not show: lardons in a salad, flour in a sauce, pork fat in a brioche. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free dishes, kids meals and other special meals are cooked on their own board and sealed in their own box. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and we write the label against your crew's card.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS)

Crews on a Lyon turn often have a long wait before an Alpine leg or a return to Paris, so crew meals here are built to be eaten at the jumpseat or in the FBO lounge. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Crew catering is packed in labelled crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots if your policy asks for it. Tell us the rotation, not the headcount.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS)

FBO catering at Lyon means catering delivery to the FBO and, from there, to the aircraft. The general aviation terminal sits apart from the main passenger building, so we coordinate ground handling catering with your handling agent. Handling agent catering at LFLL is arranged before the van moves, so the apron gate is open when we arrive.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS)

At Saint-Exupéry the aircraft decides the loading. A light jet takes trays through the main door by hand; a large-cabin or VIP airliner needs a high loader at the galley door. Galley catering is packed to your oven count and drawer layout, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with the handler on the apron. Aircraft provisioning for a larger type is planned around door height, not around the menu.

About the airportLFLL / LYS

Airport catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL)

Airport catering at LFLL belongs to a field that handles both scheduled traffic and a busy general aviation ramp. FBO services and ground handling services are available for business jets, and the airport is a business aviation hub for the region. Its single-city identity, Lyon, is the reason crews know it well.

Business aviation

Between Lyon's trade fairs and the ski season, the field changes character. Inflight catering leans on cold platters in autumn and hot dishes in winter, while in-flight catering for long sectors needs sturdier packing. Aviation catering and business aviation catering adapt, executive jet catering for visiting principals stays discreet, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals follow the roster.

Customs & food import

France applies EU rules on food of animal origin, so meat, dairy and fish arriving from outside the EU are restricted. Catering cooked in France avoids that issue entirely, which is why special meals and crew meals are prepared locally. If your galley carries food from abroad, check it against French customs and veterinary rules before departure.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“A request for a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables, 2 passengers, and a family lunch request: that was our brief for the departure at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport. I asked The Galley Girls to review the sauces quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of crew provisions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. For our team, the strongest part of their in-flight catering services was how they handled packing arrangement.”

Noor N. | FBO operator

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“On this departure from LFLL, 4 passengers had chosen vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection, and a changing departure schedule needed to be reflected in the order. The crew provisions came from The Galley Girls in shallow trays, with a packing list that matched the contents. For aviation catering, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage. I could hand the fruit plates to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Mila S. | Government flight manager

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Service planning came first at LYS, with 11 passengers choosing smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit and an evening cabin service influencing our preparation. For aviation catering services, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage. After a final adjustment to the sandwiches, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the fruit plates quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Asked before every LFLL slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost into Lyon?+

What does private jet catering cost at LFLL? It depends on dishes and seats. Quenelle de brochet with Nantua sauce is a premium hot dish; a plate of saucisson and Saint-Marcellin is not. When the passenger count moves late, we recompute the order and tell you the difference plainly before we cook.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Lyon Saint-Exupéry?+

Lead time on a government flight into Lyon depends on clearance, not cooking. Protocol reads the menu, security reads the delivery plan, and then we cook. For business jets without that layer, last-minute orders are handled and the plan stays simple.

How do customs affect catering at Lyon airport?+

Customs rarely touches what we cook for Lyon, because special-meal requests like kosher, halal, vegan or allergen-free dishes are prepared locally and sealed against tampering. The rules matter for imported meat, dairy and fresh produce, which French and EU controls restrict.

Can you bring food on board at Lyon?+

You may carry food, but customs rules on animal products apply. A crew on a long Lyon turn, watching duty time tick, usually asks for a hot dish instead. Crew meals are on request and are invoiced with the rest of the order.

Is catering part of a charter into Lyon?+

Charter pricing and catering are separate lines. At LFLL, a late departure slot gives us room to cook fresh; an early one means we pack the evening before and keep it chilled. Either way the order is yours, invoiced as a catering order.
