Private jet catering at Frankfurt Main Airport (EDDF / FRA), Frankfurt am Main

Catering to your aircraft in Frankfurt am Main.

Frankfurt Main runs on the fair calendar and the bank-holiday schedule, and a business jet parked here in October is competing for apron space with half of Europe. We cook and pack for the galley you actually have, and hand it over at the FBO or to your handling agent.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Frankfurt am Main (FRA)

Hesse is apple-wine country, and the table at Frankfurt am Main is built around that sourness: green sauce, pork, pretzels, cheese with onions. For a private jet menu out of FRA we keep that character and strip out what a galley cannot handle. The inflight menu favours dishes that finish in the oven or sit cold, with every sauce in its own pot.

Frankfurter Grüne Soße is the signature: seven herbs, sour cream, hard-boiled egg, served cold. Schnitzel with potato salad travels well sealed in foil, and Rippchen reheat without drying. Handkäse is packed apart and clearly labelled so nobody opens it by accident at altitude. Private jet food here also covers Brezeln, fresh and wrapped, for the early rotations.

Local specialities change with the season: white asparagus in spring, game in autumn, Christmas market gingerbread in December. Frankfurt am Main and Hesse supply the produce; we adapt the plate to your galley and your headcount.

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

Frankfurt Main sits at 364 ft on a field that never really goes quiet, and the business aviation side works around the fair weeks and the winter de-icing queue. Private jet catering here means cold plates that survive a long taxi, hot dishes that need only the galley oven, and crew meals ordered on request and invoiced like the rest. Our inflight catering is built by former VIP flight attendants who know what a drawer looks like at 3 a.m. We also supply in-flight catering for delegations, aviation catering for operators repositioning through Hesse, and business aviation catering for the Monday-morning bankers. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same rule: nothing leaves the kitchen that your galley cannot finish. Cabin crew meals are packed separately and labelled CREW.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Frankfurt Main Airport (FRA)

Business jet catering at Frankfurt Main is shaped by the trade-fair calendar and the Monday-morning banking flights. Corporate jet catering for a six-seat light jet is a different brief from VIP flight catering for a delegation of twenty. Charter flight catering here often means one hot dish and cold plates around it, and luxury inflight catering means the plate looks right after the oven. A private jet chef at Frankfurt writes a bespoke menu around the galley's real limits.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Frankfurt am Main (EDDF)

State visit aircraft catering at EDDF begins with the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering require traceable sourcing and an agreed handover point. VIP aviation catering for delegations passing through Hesse follows the same rule: the menu is approved first, and the team that delivers is the team that cooked.

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

Dietary requests at Frankfurt are handled as a procedure, not a label. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed, numbered by seat, with the certificate in the box; vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked on separate boards and packed apart. Hessian kitchens lean on pork, dairy, flour and celery, so we check every sauce and stock before anything is cooked. Kids meals and other special meals are marked by seat on the lid, so a passenger tray is never opened by mistake.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Frankfurt Main Airport

Crew meals at Frankfurt are a line on the order like any other: you ask for them, we cook and invoice them. Flight crew meals travel in boxes marked CREW, hot or cold to suit the rotation you are flying out of EDDF. Pilot meals are the part cockpit crews care about most, so the captain and the first officer can each have different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it, with the choice written on the lid. Cockpit meals are built for one hand and a jumpseat, no cutlery fuss, and crew catering for a late departure stacks flat in the same drawer as the guest trays. Crew meal boxes are never mixed in with a passenger tray.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Frankfurt Main Airport (FRA)

FBO catering at Frankfurt means a handover on the apron, to the FBO or to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the general aviation terminal so the trays arrive before the passengers do. Ground handling catering is booked against the departure slot, and handling agent catering means a named contact who signs for the boxes.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Frankfurt Main Airport (EDDF)

Large aircraft through EDDF need galley catering loaded by high loader, and we pack for the door height and the galley layout of the type. Airside catering delivery runs through the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is coordinated against the apron slot, with trays organised by galley position so the crew loads in one pass.

About the airportEDDF / FRA

Aviation catering and business aviation at Frankfurt Main Airport (FRA)

Airport catering at Frankfurt serves the general aviation side of a very large field. The business aviation hub has its own terminal and ramp, and FBO services run on a different rhythm from the airline gates. Ground handling services are available around the clock for operators coming in from anywhere in Europe.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at Frankfurt are built around the trade-fair calendar and the winter de-icing queue. Aviation catering for operators repositioning through Hesse, and business aviation catering for Monday-morning flights, follow the same rule: pack for the galley you have. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all travel in labelled boxes by seat.

Customs & food import

German customs treat food from outside the EU strictly: meat and dairy need documentation, and some products cannot enter at all. Within the EU, catering moves freely. At Frankfurt, we source inside the EU wherever possible, and keep invoices and origin papers with the delivery so inspection goes through without a hold.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“On this departure from FRA, 2 passengers had chosen poached fish with steamed rice, and a small galley worktop needed to be reflected in the order. After a final adjustment to the main courses, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the snack boxes against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about in flight catering.”

Louis N. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

Falcon 8X

★★★★★CHARTER

“Packing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 11 passengers at Frankfurt Main Airport needed careful thought, especially given a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of side dishes with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. For our team, the strongest part of their inflight catering services was how they handled portion planning. The quantities of main courses matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

Andres Q. | Charter operator

Challenger 350

★★★★☆LIGHT JET

“Small packing details became important at EDDF: our 5 passengers wanted prawn salad and small fruit plates, and we had an evening cabin service. I want an inflight catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the starters to arrive in clearly marked packs. The canapés were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

The Frankfurt Main questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Frankfurt?+

A Hessian menu can run from simple to extravagant. Apfelwein jus on pork loin is one price, a platter of Rhenish oysters another. We quote private jet catering at Frankfurt per menu, so you know the figure before the order is final.

What is the lead time for catering at EDDF?+

Lead time at Frankfurt depends on customs: anything brought from outside the EU needs paperwork, while local produce does not. We keep to Hessian and EU suppliers, and last-minute orders are handled for those items.

How do customs affect catering at Frankfurt?+

For customs, the aircraft type matters because it caps how much catering can be carried. A light jet at Frankfurt takes a modest order, a large cabin takes more, and in both cases we supply the paperwork with the box.

Can you bring food on board at Frankfurt?+

In Frankfurt's winter fog and de-icing season, a departure can slip, and food brought from elsewhere may not last. You can bring your own, but German customs restrict animal products, so check before landing.

Is catering part of a charter flying out of Frankfurt?+

No. Catering sits apart from the charter and is billed on its own. When the aircraft flies out of Frankfurt and comes back, we can pack the return leg's meals in the same order.
