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

Regional dishes of Prouvy for jet catering at LFAV

Prouvy sits in the Valenciennois, at the heart of Hauts-de-France, and the private jet menu for LFAV follows that table. Maroilles, the washed-rind cheese of the Avesnois, is the first thing guests expect; we pack it sealed and apart from anything delicate, because its smell fills a cabin. Endive from the Nord comes as a cold salad, braised, or wrapped in ham under a cheese sauce that finishes in the aircraft oven. Carbonnade flamande, beef slow-cooked in dark beer, travels well and reheats without losing its sauce, which suits an inflight menu for a cabin with a single oven.

Private jet food from this region leans on what the northern plain grows and ages: potato for frites and gratins, leek for tarts, chicory, smoked herring, Maroilles and Vieux-Lille, and gingerbread and speculoos for the end of the meal. The local specialities are chosen to survive a crew with a small galley, so each dish leaves the kitchen with its finishing instruction: oven, sauce apart, chilled or re-plate cold. Private jet platters of northern charcuterie and cheeses cover passengers who want something to share, and private jet snacks are built around speculoos and savoury biscuits. These are gourmet inflight meals that still read as Hauts-de-France once the lid comes off.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield (LFAV)

The grass-green apron at LFAV sees corporate shuttles, charter hops and the odd executive jet bound for the northern industrial belt. We prepare private jet catering for that rhythm: in-flight catering from local suppliers, business aviation catering for small cabins, executive jet catering for owner flights, and diplomatic flight catering when a protocol office is involved.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield (LFAV)

Business jet catering at Valenciennes-Denain is built for the regional executive: a shuttle from a northern industrial site, a charter hop, a corporate jet with four or six seats. VIP flight catering here is usually a clean cold menu plus one hot dish. Charter flight catering is planned around the cabin size, luxury inflight catering means a cheese course from the Avesnois and a proper dessert, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu once we know the guests. We also arrange corporate jet catering for repeat flights so the crew does not rebuild the order each time.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Prouvy (LFAV)

Government flight catering at Valenciennes-Denain is rare but not unknown, given the airfield's role for northern regional authorities. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering run through the protocol office, not the kitchen, so the menu is cleared before anything is cooked. For a state visit aircraft catering order we name the team, keep the traceability file and handle the aircraft with discretion.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield

Kosher and halal meals stay sealed from kitchen to seat, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards, and allergen free meals are checked against the beer-based sauces. Special meals and kids meals each carry their own card.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Prouvy (LFAV)

At LFAV the crew eats on a short turn, so what we pack has to be eaten quickly and cleanly. Crew meals are something you ask for when you book the trip, and they appear on the invoice like every other dish. Flight crew meals are boxed by role, pilot meals avoid anything that needs two hands, and cockpit meals come labelled so no one grabs the wrong dish. Crew catering for the cabin is a separate box, crew meal boxes carry the heating instruction on the lid, and different meals for pilots follow operator policy. Cabin crew meals can be vegetarian or halal on request.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Valenciennes-Denain Airfield

FBO catering at Valenciennes-Denain is handed over at the general aviation terminal, or directly at the aircraft if the handling agent clears it. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, who opens the right door and confirms the slot. Ground handling catering at LFAV is a short exchange, and handling agent catering follows the same route whether the aircraft is a light jet or a midsize.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield (LFAV)

At LFAV, how the food reaches the cabin depends on the aircraft you fly in. A small jet needs no high loader, just a careful hand-carry to the door. For a larger aircraft, aircraft provisioning may call for a lift, which the handling agent arranges. Galley catering is packed to the cabin's storage, and airside catering delivery follows the airfield's access rules.

About the airportLFAV

General aviation and airport catering at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield (LFAV)

Valenciennes-Denain is a small French airfield in the Nord, serving general aviation and business flights for the Valenciennes area. It handles light jets and turboprops, and airport catering here is shaped by that modest scale. Visiting crews find a quiet general aviation environment where FBO services and ground handling services are adapted to private operators, so the same agent usually opens the door, checks the slot and meets the delivery.

Business aviation

Valenciennes-Denain is not a business aviation hub like Le Bourget, but it serves regional corporate flights well. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are matched to light and midsize aircraft, aviation catering stays practical, and business aviation catering means a short, well-judged menu. Executive jet catering is available for owner flights, diplomatic flight catering for official visits, and cabin crew meals can be added on request, alongside the crew meals the pilots order with the trip. Ground handling services on the field are light, which keeps a turn simple.

Customs & food import

Customs at an airfield like LFAV follow French and EU rules: non-EU animal products are limited, and international catering waste is not meant to leave the aircraft. The practical effect for your order is simple. Food prepared in France and handed over at the FBO needs no declaration, while food arriving from outside the EU may have to be replaced. Your ground handling services agent can confirm what the officer at the field expects before the aircraft lands.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Packing a mezze selection with flatbreads for 11 passengers at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield needed careful thought, especially given a revised passenger count. Our brief for business aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the sauces identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Yasmin D. | FBO operator

★★★★★CHARTER

“As the person coordinating a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 9 passengers at Valenciennes-Denain Airfield, I needed an arrangement that considered different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls kept the salads separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. Keeping the snack boxes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. Our brief for jet catering was met with a sensible plan for written menu details.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Working around an evening cabin service at LFAV, I asked for mini sandwiches and individual desserts in portions appropriate for our 5 passengers. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the salads clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the crew provisions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. This experience of VIP flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure.”

Ordering for LFAV, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Valenciennes-Denain?+

Think of the slot first. A morning departure from LFAV with a short stop suits Maroilles platters and sandwiches; an afternoon wait lets the crew handle a hot carbonnade. Each of those carries a different cost, and private jet catering is quoted from the menu you choose, not from a rate card.

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

What makes an order simple here is a local product: potjevleesch, leek tart or a northern cheese board. Tell us which one you want and we confirm it for the slot. Lead time grows only when you ask for something that is not grown or made nearby, and last-minute requests are still handled.

What about customs when ordering food for a flight into France?+

Customs at a French airfield treat food from non-EU origins strictly. If you arrive from abroad, any meat or dairy on board may have to stay sealed or be disposed of. Ordering at LFAV avoids the issue: the food is French and fresh, and the crew does not need to declare it.

Can you bring food on a private jet to Valenciennes-Denain?+

Yes, within what the galley allows. On a small jet departing LFAV there may be no space to store hot dishes, so food brought from outside should be cold and sealed. We handle the rest, packed to suit the cabin.

Is catering part of a charter flying out of Valenciennes-Denain?+

No, a private jet charter does not include food. When a departure from Valenciennes-Denain depends on a clear spell between weather systems, the catering order stays flexible and is billed like any other.
