Catering to your aircraft in Bitburg.
EDRB is quiet, high and open, with a long runway left from its airbase years. We prepare crew-written menus for BBJ, built for the galley you have and handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent.
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.
The Eifel and the Moselle valley give a private jet menu from Bitburg more character than most. The inflight menu can lean on what grows and is brewed in Rhineland-Palatinate: Riesling from the Moselle, Eifel venison in autumn, trout from clear streams, and the pilsner brewing tradition the town is known for. These local specialities travel well when cooked for a galley, with sauces packed apart and slices portioned for re-plating. Private jet food for an EDRB departure can be hearty and regional, or light and chilled for a short hop. Private jet platters carry Hunsrück ham, Eifel cheeses and rye bread, gourmet inflight meals follow the season, and private jet snacks suit a quick turnaround. Bitburg's regional kitchen suits a cabin well.
Rhineland-Palatinate is wine country, and a private jet menu from Bitburg reflects it: Riesling-poached trout, Moselle vineyard peaches in summer, Eifel game in the colder months. Each of these local specialities is cooked and packed for the aircraft's galley, with sauce apart where it matters and cold items kept chilled. The inflight menu for BBJ can also be simple: Westerwald-style potato salad, cured ham, farmhouse cheese. Private jet food here is honest and seasonal. Private jet platters suit larger parties, gourmet inflight meals suit a long sector, and private jet snacks fill the gaps. Ask us what Rhineland-Palatinate is producing this week.

At 1,220 ft on the Eifel plateau, Bitburg (EDRB / BBJ) sees business jets arriving for the region's industry and for weekends in the Moselle valley. Our private jet catering is written by former VIP flight attendants who know what a small galley can hold. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for EDRB is boxed by seat, with sauces apart and plates ready to re-plate. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering are available, as are diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals, all ordered and invoiced as separate lines.
Bitburg's traffic is mostly corporate: executives from the surrounding industry, plus charters bound for the vineyards. Corporate jet catering and business jet catering at EDRB start with the type and the galley. For VIP flight catering or charter flight catering, a private jet chef drafts a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering uses Eifel and Moselle produce.
When an official party uses EDRB, the menu goes through protocol before the kitchen starts. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow a fixed chain of custody. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are packed sealed, labelled by seat only, and handed over to the handling agent.
Bitburg kitchens work with Rhineland ingredients, so dietary planning looks at where allergens hide: flour in sauces, nuts in desserts, shellfish in stocks. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are prepared as a procedure with separate boards, and special meals, allergen free dishes and kids meals are treated the same way.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On the Eifel plateau crews often turn around within the apron's quiet hours, so crew meals are packed to be grabbed. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are ordered on request and billed as a normal line. Crew catering uses crew meal boxes, cockpit meals are easy to eat, and different meals for pilots keep captain and first officer on separate dishes.
At Bitburg the meal is handed to the FBO or to your handling agent, who walks it out to the aircraft. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO run through the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering is coordinated with your handling agent. Handling agent catering is arranged around your slot.
A light or mid-size business jet at Bitburg rarely needs a high loader; the meal goes up the airstair. Galley catering for a larger aircraft may need one for airside catering delivery. Aircraft provisioning depends on the door height, and we ask the type first.

EDRB is a former airbase turned civil field, with a long runway and a compact general aviation apron. Airport catering here is low-key, and FBO services and ground handling services keep things unhurried, which suits business aircraft visiting the Eifel.
Bitburg is a quiet business aviation hub for the Eifel and Moselle, with corporate visitors and Moselle weekend trips. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered here for modest aircraft, while aviation catering and business aviation catering reflect the region's produce. Executive jet catering suits the longer cabins, diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight.
Bitburg is in Germany, inside the EU and Schengen, so intra-EU legs bring few food restrictions. Leaving the EU, animal products and fresh produce may be restricted by the arrival country. We plan menus around the customs rules of the destination.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Between cabin checks at Bitburg Airport, I coordinated mushroom risotto and a green salad for 11 guests and explained our concerns about several individual meal preferences. Our brief for FBO catering was met with a sensible plan for written menu details. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the main courses before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the breakfast portions to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”
“An order of a mezze selection with flatbreads for 4 people at EDRB had to be organised around several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls prepared the breakfast portions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. It made a difference to have the starters ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. This experience of airport catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure.”
“My order at BBJ covered vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 9 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a family lunch request. The Galley Girls updated the sauces in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The side dishes remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. This experience of inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing final order confirmation on another departure.”
The tail number tells us most of what we need: a small galley rules out multi-step hot service, a large one opens it up. Cost follows the dishes chosen for BBJ, for instance wild game against a cheese board. Private jet catering here is quoted menu by menu.
In summer the field is calm; in winter it is not. We treat lead time at Bitburg as a flexible window tied to your slot, not a fixed figure, and last-minute orders are handled with seasonal dishes already in the kitchen.
A return leg ordered here is only as good as its arrival rules. We check what the destination allows, then build the Eifel menu around it, swapping restricted items for allowed ones.
Yes, you can bring food, though at an unsociable hour in a small town it is harder than it sounds. We arrange handover with your handling agent so the boxes are there for a night or first-wave departure.
Is catering part of a charter flying into BBJ? No. The charter is for the aircraft; meals are a distinct order with their own invoice. We work with your handling agent to get the food airside.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
