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.

Local specialities from Köln (Cologne) for your inflight catering

North Rhine-Westphalia gives the Cologne Bonn private jet menu its character: hearty, honest, built on pork, rye and good dairy. A private jet menu for EDDK can open with a Kölsch-braised dish, a Rhenish sauerbraten that reheats well from the oven, or a cold platter of Rhenish ham with Mettbrötchen-style rolls. Inflight menu choices follow what survives altitude: sauces travel apart, bread is baked the same day, and potatoes are packed for re-plating.

Private jet food from Köln (Cologne) is easy to recognise: Himmel un Ääd, a black pudding and apple dish, Halve Hahn rye rolls with aged Gouda, and Rhenish potato salad served chilled. These are local specialities that suit a galley because each one finishes either in the oven or cold. Our private jet menu for the Rhineland keeps the heavy dishes for evening legs and offers lighter plates for morning departures.

Cologne Bonn passengers often ask for something that tastes of the region without being heavy at altitude. Local specialities such as Rhenish sauerbraten, Düsseldorf-style mustard, Kölsch-cured fish and an apple tart from the Rhineland fruit season answer that. Every private jet menu here names the dish, the service step and what goes in its own pot, so the crew re-plates without guessing.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK)

Cologne Bonn runs a busy night cargo operation next to its business aviation apron, and that rhythm shapes every galley order here. Private jet catering at EDDK is built around the aircraft you fly, the slot you hold and the dishes your passengers will accept at altitude. We are former VIP flight attendants, so we pack for the drawer and the oven you actually have. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for CGN all start from that brief, whether the trip is corporate, charter or a diplomatic flight catering request from Berlin. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders go through the FBO, and cabin crew meals can be added on request.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Cologne Bonn Airport

A typical business jet brief at Cologne Bonn is a corporate team of four to six flying out of the Rhineland on a tight diary. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering for EDDK are packed for the aircraft you fly, and VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same discipline. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu that fits the oven and the drawer, with Rhenish dishes when the guests ask for them.

Head of state and government inflight catering at Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN)

Berlin sends delegations through Cologne Bonn, and state visit aircraft catering here begins with the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are packed in sealed, labelled containers by a small named team. VIP aviation catering for official flights stays confidential from order to handover.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN)

At Cologne Bonn, special meals are a procedure built around Rhineland cooking, where allergens hide in the obvious places: wheat in the rye rolls, mustard and celery in the sauces, dairy in the potato dishes. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are packed apart, with kids meals and allergen free requests marked by seat number. Tell us the code and the guest, and the dish arrives sealed.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Köln (Cologne) (CGN)

When the aircraft sits at Cologne Bonn for a few hours, the crew eats. Crew meals are a separate line on your order, billed as such, and flight crew meals follow the duty schedule. Pilot meals are different for each pilot on request, cockpit meals are easy to eat in the seat, and crew meal boxes are marked CREW. Crew catering never mixes with passenger trays, and different meals for pilots are standard practice for operators who ask.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN): delivery to your aircraft

At CGN the food goes to the FBO and from there to the aircraft with your handling agent. Ground handling catering is coordinated with the terminal, and FBO catering is labelled by tail and slot. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is the usual route, and handling agent catering is arranged when the aircraft is on a remote stand.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Cologne Bonn Airport

At EDDK, the door and the galley of your aircraft decide how the load goes on board. A light jet takes a cooler and a couple of boxes by hand, while a larger cabin may call for a high loader at the door. Galley catering is packed to the aircraft's ovens, drawers and carts, and airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent. For aircraft provisioning on wide-body VIP types, tell us the tail and the door height and we plan the load.

About the airportEDDK / CGN

Airport catering at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK)

Cologne Bonn is a major German freight hub with a smaller but steady business aviation flow. For airport catering, the apron is shared between cargo and passenger operators, so access runs through the handling agent. General aviation traffic uses its own terminal, and FBO services sit apart from the main passenger side; ground handling services on the field are booked per movement, which is why the tail and the stand matter when you place an order.

Business aviation

Cologne Bonn's business aviation hub is shaped by trade fairs in Cologne and corporate flights to the Rhineland. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here swing with the fair calendar. Aviation catering for a diplomatic flight catering request from the capital, business aviation catering for a corporate shuttle, executive jet catering for a charter, and cabin crew meals on request all follow the same standard. Your ground handling services agent confirms the stand and the door, and crew meals are added the same way.

Customs & food import

Germany follows EU food-safety rules. Flights arriving from outside the EU face restrictions on meat and dairy products, and customs at Cologne Bonn may inspect galley stock. Food is labelled and packed to meet those rules, and your ground handling services agent can tell you which items to hold back so the aircraft departs clean.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Our priority at EDDK was vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 5 passengers, with a family lunch request shaping the service plan. After a final adjustment to the breakfast portions, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the snack boxes was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. My main takeaway from this private aviation catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”

Zaid B. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Food presentation mattered to our 4 guests, but a small galley worktop also had to be considered when organising a selection of petits fours and sandwiches at CGN. The Galley Girls prepared the starters for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. For our team, the strongest part of their business jet catering was how they handled final order confirmation. It made a difference to have the fruit plates ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

James R. | VIP flight attendant

Gulfstream G650

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“With a late menu amendment to consider at Cologne Bonn Airport, we needed a practical way to serve roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables to 7 passengers. This experience of business aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing portion planning on another departure. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the desserts, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the starters to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

Before you order at EDDKAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a crew waiting on the ground at Cologne Bonn?+

Waiting on the ground changes what people want to eat. A crew held at Cologne Bonn overnight may prefer a hot pot and bread to a cold platter. Private jet catering is priced per dish, so the quote follows exactly the menu you choose.

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

Cologne Bonn's night operation means slots can be unusual. Tell us the slot and we plan the delivery to the FBO to match it. Late orders are handled, though some regional products may need to be swapped.

What do customs rules mean for a local product like Rhenish ham on the menu at CGN?+

Customs treat cured pork differently by destination. A flight out of Cologne Bonn to the UK or the Gulf may restrict ham on arrival. We label every item and tell you which ones to hold back, so the menu works at both ends.

Can you bring food of your own into Germany when flying a private jet into Cologne Bonn?+

You can carry your own food on board, but customs at CGN may inspect it. Products of animal origin from outside the EU are the usual problem. We recommend ordering from us and leaving the rest at departure.

Is catering part of a charter into Cologne Bonn, whatever the aircraft?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: a light jet and a large cabin both need their own order, sized to the galley, and it is invoiced separately like any other. Send the tail and we confirm what fits.
