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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Nîmes/Garons (FNI)

Occitanie gives a private jet menu at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue a very particular shape. Camargue red rice, grown in the delta marshes, keeps its bite in a lidded dish and suits an inflight menu better than most grains. Taureau de Camargue, the bull stew known as gardiane, is a braise: it travels hot in its sauce and finishes in the galley oven. Brandade de Nîmes, salt cod whipped with olive oil, is a spoonable starter that holds in a chilled pot. Our private jet platters pair these local specialities with fleur de sel from the Camargue salt flats, Costières de Nîmes wines and Nîmes olives, so the private jet food on board reads as Occitanie, not as a generic tray. Gourmet inflight meals built this way carry the region's name, and private jet snacks follow it: croquants Villaret, an old Nîmes biscuit, and olive tapenade on crisp bread.

The Garons plain behind the field is Camargue country, and {Region}-style cooking, here Occitanie and the Nîmes area, is rustic and salty. For a private jet menu we start with the gardiane de taureau, a slow bull braise from the Camargue marshes with its dark sauce kept in its own pot. Red Camargue rice goes alongside, and brandade de Nîmes opens the meal cold. Local specialities extend to Costières de Nîmes wine, Nîmes olives and the fleur de sel of Aigues-Mortes. These make private jet platters that look regional on the tray. Gourmet inflight meals can be finished with a tarte aux fruits of the season, and private jet snacks stay simple: croquants Villaret, olives, tapenade. Every item is packed for the aircraft's galley, so the inflight menu works without extra equipment.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (LFTW)

Nîmes-Arles-Camargue sits on the flat Garons plain in Occitanie, a field that business aviation uses for Provence and Camargue stays, bullfighting-season weekends and Féria week. Private jet catering here follows what the region grows and cooks, and it reaches the aircraft through your FBO or handling agent. We are former VIP flight attendants, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are packed for the galley you actually have. For business aviation catering at LFTW, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering come out of the same kitchen discipline, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order.

Executive jet catering at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (FNI)

A typical business jet stop at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue is a corporate or executive group heading for Nîmes, Arles or the Camargue. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here are short briefs: tail, slot, seats. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all draw on the same Occitanie pantry. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around red rice, bull or sea bream, and finishes it for your galley.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (LFTW)

Occitanie cooking leans on salt cod, bull, lamb, olive oil and almonds, so allergen questions here start with fish, tree nuts and anchovy in the tapenade. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are written as a procedure: separate board, separate box, marked by seat. Special meals, allergen free dishes and kids meals follow the same route from LFTW, and the dietary card travels with the tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Nîmes/Garons (LFTW)

Between a Garons arrival and the next leg, the crew still has to eat. Crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced with the order, and flight crew meals can be hot or cold. Pilot meals are packed so two different dishes never mix. Crew catering and cockpit meals share one labelled crew meal boxes system, and different meals for pilots are prepared separately; cabin crew meals follow the same route.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (LFTW)

At LFTW we hand the order to your handling agent at the general aviation terminal, who takes it airside. FBO catering is packed and labelled to suit that handover. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering all follow the same route to the aircraft's door.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (FNI)

At Nîmes-Arles-Camargue the aircraft type decides how galley catering reaches the cabin: a light jet takes boxes through the door by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader at the stairs. Airside catering delivery passes through the handling agent, who knows the apron rules of LFTW. Tell us the type and where the galley sits, and aircraft provisioning is packed to that layout: trolleys, drawers or a few lidded boxes.

About the airportLFTW / FNI

About Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport (FNI): airport catering for business aviation

LFTW at Garons, elevation 309 ft, is a mixed-use field serving Nîmes, Arles and the Camargue. Airport catering is arranged through ground handling services and passed to the aircraft. General aviation sits beside seasonal and military activity, and FBO services take care of the visiting aircraft.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue spikes with the Féria, bullfighting weekends and summer in the Camargue. Executive jet catering at LFTW is typically a few seats and a short ground time; diplomatic flight catering appears around official events. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here follow the calendar, aviation catering adapts to it, and cabin crew meals go with every order. As a business aviation hub, the field is modest but busy at peak weeks.

Customs & food import

France applies EU food-import rules: meat, fish and dairy from outside the EU may be restricted on arrival at LFTW. Customs checks what stays in the galley, so a fresh order from Nîmes avoids the problem. Tell your handling agent what is left on board and we plan the outbound menu around it.

★★★★★LIGHT JET
“The cabin briefing at LFTW included 5 passenger meals, a request for vegetarian wraps and colourful salads, and instructions addressing a late menu amendment. My main takeaway from this private jet catering order was the practical approach to packing arrangement. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the fruit plates to arrive in individual containers. The salads were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

★★★★★CHARTER
“Good preparation made the difference at FNI, where 5 guests expected a selection of petits fours and sandwiches despite a tight boarding window. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the snack boxes identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

“Menu approval at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue Airport covered grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 8 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a short ground stop. The Galley Girls updated the side dishes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. I want a private jet catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Nîmes/Garons in five questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a stop at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue?+

Compare a Camargue rice salad with olives and a braise of bull: the second costs more in product and in work. At LFTW the departure slot tells us which direction to go. We quote on request and invoice with the order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when we stop in Nîmes?+

Ask for one Occitanie dish and build around it. Camargue bull, brandade or red rice are all within reach, and late changes are processed. Send the tail and slot whenever they are known.

Do customs rules in France affect catering at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue?+

For an intra-EU leg there is little to say; for a long-haul arrival, expect questions about meat, fish and fresh produce. Whatever is left in the galley may need to be declared or discarded. We prepare the outbound order at Nîmes from local product so it raises none.

Can you bring food on board yourselves, or is the galley too small at Nîmes?+

Galley size sets the menu. Small cabins at Nîmes get cold plates and one hot dish in an oven-ready tray; larger cabins get a service built for trolleys. Share the tail and we tell you what fits.

Is catering part of a charter into Nîmes-Arles-Camargue, or is it a separate order?+

Is catering part of a charter? Not here: the charter covers the aircraft, and the food is ordered and invoiced on its own. When mistral winds or storms move a departure at Nîmes-Arles-Camargue, we adjust the catering with you.
