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

Local specialities from Egelsbach for your inflight catering

Local specialities in Hesse favour honest cooking over fuss. For a private jet menu out of Egelsbach we suggest Schnitzel with Grüne Soße, sausage from the Odenwald and a pretzel board, all easy private jet food for a short sector. The inflight menu stays light because light jets rarely carry a full oven.

Rhine-Main produce, from asparagus in spring to apples in autumn, drives what is good in Hesse at any given week. We build the inflight menu around the season, pack sauces apart and keep delicate leaves in their own tray, so the cabin gets Hessian flavour without a mess in a small galley.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport (EDFE)

Egelsbach sits at 384 ft on the Hessian plain with a single runway that favours light and midsize jets, and private jet catering here is built around small galleys and tight cabins. We cook and pack as former VIP flight attendants would want it: inflight catering that comes out of the drawer ready to plate, in-flight catering for the return leg, aviation catering with proper labels, business aviation catering for corporate departures, executive jet catering for owner-flown trips, diplomatic flight catering for official movements and cabin crew meals boxed apart.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport (EDFE)

A typical EDFE brief is a corporate light jet carrying two to six guests on a day trip. Business jet catering here means a cold lunch that waits in the drawer, corporate jet catering with the sauce in its own pot, VIP flight catering for a director's lunch, charter flight catering for an ad hoc sector and luxury inflight catering when the owner wants wine. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the type's galley.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport

Government flight catering from EDFE is rare but handled with care: head of state flight catering needs a protocol clearance before anything is cooked, and VIP aviation catering for a delegation is traceable from kitchen to tray. State visit aircraft catering follows the same line, with a named team and no names on the packaging.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport

Egelsbach's local kitchen leans on wheat, dairy, pork and egg, so allergen free orders are handled as a separate board, a separate box and a labelled tray per seat. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free special meals are cooked apart from the Hessian dishes, and kids meals follow the same rule. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and the tray arrives marked that way.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport

On a light-jet rotation out of EDFE, the crew eats last and fastest. Crew meals are an on-request line on the order, flight crew meals are packed per person, pilot meals keep the two seats apart, and crew catering follows the same invoice as the guest trays. Cockpit meals are easy to hold, crew meal boxes close flat, and different meals for pilots are cooked separately. Cabin crew meals are marked apart from the passenger trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport (EDFE)

Our driver reports to the FBO at EDFE, and the handling agent clears the apron access. FBO catering at a field this size means one door and one contact. Catering delivery to the FBO is handed over at the general aviation terminal, ground handling catering is agreed in advance and handling agent catering stays on one file until the aircraft is closed up.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport (EDFE)

Egelsbach's traffic is light jets and turboprops, so a high loader is rarely in the picture: galley catering goes up by hand through the cabin door. For anything larger that does call here, airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are arranged with your handling agent, and the galley layout of the type decides how the trays are loaded.

About the airportEDFE

General aviation and airport catering at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport (EDFE)

Frankfurt-Egelsbach is a general aviation airport in Hesse, built around business and sport flying rather than airlines. Its airport catering needs are small and specific: light jets, turboprops and the occasional helicopter, with general aviation as its whole business.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a fair description of Egelsbach for its size: inflight catering and in-flight catering for weekday shuttles, aviation catering for charter hops, business aviation catering for corporate departments, executive jet catering for owner-flown trips, diplomatic flight catering when an embassy needs it and cabin crew meals for every rotation. FBO services and ground handling services are compact but complete.

Customs & food import

Germany is inside the EU, so flights to other member states face few food restrictions; non-EU arrivals can refuse meat and dairy, and the handling agent clears the paperwork at EDFE. We label every tray, keep animal products apart and ask where you land so the order matches the rules there.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Between cabin checks at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport, I coordinated grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 2 guests and explained our concerns about a family lunch request. I want an aviation catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the desserts to arrive in stackable containers. I could hand the snack boxes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Beatrice N. | Chief cabin officer

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Before our guests boarded at EDFE, we needed a breakfast basket with individual preserves divided into 3 portions suitable for limited fridge space. I asked The Galley Girls to review the side dishes quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. There was enough information about the snack boxes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Clear quantities were essential at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport: we had 10 passengers expecting smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit and were working around a changing departure schedule. We changed the quantities of salads, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The note about the main courses was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation.”

Before you order at EDFEAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a departure from Egelsbach in winter?+

Costs at EDFE track what you pick, not the airport. A Hessian cheese platter for four on a light jet is modest; a three-course hot service with wine is not. Winter weather windows tend to compress departures, so we also price by how many separate packs you want.

What is the lead time for a return leg ordered from Egelsbach?+

For a trip starting at EDFE, tell us in the first request that you want something for the way back. We then pack the second set against its own slot rather than as an afterthought. Last-minute changes to the return are accepted.

How do customs rules affect food for a night departure or an early morning slot at Egelsbach?+

Early slots do not change the rule: food leaving Germany for another EU state is straightforward, food entering a stricter country is not. We label every tray and keep animal products apart, so inspection at the far end is quick and clean.

Can you bring food of your own through the handling agent at Egelsbach?+

At a field like Egelsbach the handling agent controls who goes airside. If you carry food yourself, it travels with you. If we deliver, we give the agent the tail, the slot and the packing list, and they let us through.

Is catering part of a charter into Egelsbach for a short repositioning flight?+

No, catering sits apart from the charter. For a repositioning flight into Egelsbach, we simply ask who is flying and how many seats are staffed, then pack either full trays or crew boxes accordingly, billed on their own line.
