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

What Niort/Souché brings to your in-flight catering (NIT)

The private jet menu for Niort - Marais Poitevin starts from the wetlands that give the airport its name. Local specialities of the Marais Poitevin are modest and very good, and they travel well if you plan the galley first. A private jet platters board can pair chabichou du Poitou, a small goat cheese from the Deux-Sèvres, with Niort angelica candied in sugar and a tray of Charentais melon in season. Mogettes, the white beans of Vendée and Poitou, make an inflight menu hot dish that finishes in a single oven with the sauce apart. Eel from the marais, smoked or stewed, is private jet food for those who ask for it, packed chilled and re-plated cold. Gourmet inflight meals here lean on butter from Charentes-Poitou and on sweet pastries such as tourteau fromagé and broyé du Poitou, which also work as private jet snacks. Nouvelle-Aquitaine wines are a separate request, ordered and invoiced like the rest.

What does a private jet menu look like when the destination is Niort/Souché? It looks like the Marais Poitevin on a plate: local specialities that were never designed for an aircraft and still manage it. Chabichou and other Deux-Sèvres goat cheeses go on private jet platters with angelica and walnut bread. Mogettes with a sausage from the region become gourmet inflight meals that need only an oven and a pot for the sauce. Eel is the one ingredient we confirm with the passenger first. Charentais melon, strawberries from the Poitou plains and tourteau fromagé round out the private jet food list, and they double as private jet snacks for the second leg. The inflight menu for Nouvelle-Aquitaine is short on purpose.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Niort - Marais Poitevin Airport (LFBN)

Niort - Marais Poitevin sits at 203 ft in the Deux-Sèvres, a quiet field where light jets and turboprops park on a small apron and the galley is often a single oven. Private jet catering here is built for that galley, with the local table of Nouvelle-Aquitaine behind it. Inflight catering for these flights is cooked, labelled and handed over at the FBO. In-flight catering for a short leg stays simple: cold plates first, one hot dish at most. Aviation catering at LFBN follows the same discipline as at any larger field, and business aviation catering here rarely means more than a handful of seats. For a visit with a principal on board, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are agreed with the handling agent before the slot, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the same call.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Niort - Marais Poitevin Airport (NIT)

Business jet catering at LFBN usually means a light or midsize jet with a small party from Nouvelle-Aquitaine's industrial and insurance centres. Corporate jet catering here is a short brief: a cold board, one hot dish, drinks. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are written around a single oven. Luxury inflight catering at Niort stays understated; a private jet chef composes a bespoke menu from the Marais Poitevin pantry and packs it for the aircraft you actually have.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Niort - Marais Poitevin Airport (NIT)

A ministerial visit to the Deux-Sèvres changes the order: protocol approves the menu, then we cook. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow the same discipline here as at a capital airport. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering come with a dedicated contact and no name on any label.

About the airportLFBN / NIT

About Niort - Marais Poitevin Airport (LFBN): aviation catering and general aviation

Niort - Marais Poitevin Airport (LFBN/NIT) is a small regional field serving Niort and the Deux-Sèvres. Airport catering here is simple: general aviation traffic, FBO services and ground handling services on a compact apron. It is a modest business aviation hub, used by corporate flights and occasional charters.

Business aviation

Traffic at LFBN is seasonal and small, so inflight catering and in-flight catering orders are modest in size. Business aviation catering and aviation catering follow the aircraft type, and executive jet catering is the usual request. When an official party lands, diplomatic flight catering is agreed through protocol. Cabin crew meals are never forgotten.

Customs & food import

Customs at a French regional field are straightforward for departures: catering is prepared in France and loaded. For arrivals from outside the EU, animal products are restricted, so we plan the return-leg meals on French soil and confirm with your handling agent.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Breakfast was already sorted; at LFBN, the next request was prawn salad and small fruit plates for 5 guests, with a short ground stop to work around. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the snack boxes, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. It was useful to see the main courses listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the jet catering arrangements.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“My order at NIT covered grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a tight boarding window. We changed the quantities of fruit plates, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about VIP flight catering. We checked the desserts against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Service planning came first at Niort - Marais Poitevin Airport, with 10 passengers choosing beef fillet with roasted potatoes and a tight boarding window influencing our preparation. I would discuss charter flight catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the fruit plates before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. Knowing where the breakfast portions were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

The Niort - Marais Poitevin questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Niort - Marais Poitevin?+

Count heads late and the price moves with them, not with the airport. A Niort order for four that becomes six adds two plates, two trays of private jet snacks and nothing else.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at LFBN?+

Lead time here depends on who is flying. A delegation brings a protocol review, a standard corporate leg does not. Call or email and we will say which applies.

What are the customs rules for catering into France at Niort?+

Customs in France treat animal products from non-EU countries strictly. Special meals ordered for departure from LFBN are prepared on French soil and travel with their carte.

Can you bring food on board a private jet at Niort?+

Yes, with the usual customs limits on meat and dairy. If the wait is long, crew catering with different meals for pilots is the better option, ordered and invoiced like everything else.

Is catering part of a charter into Niort/Souché?+

No: charter and catering are two bills. The length of the turnaround at NIT determines whether we send a full hot menu or a cold board.
