Catering to your aircraft in Geilenkirchen.
ETNG is not a busy business aviation field, which is exactly why the order matters: the handling agent, the slot and the galley type decide the menu. We pack it, label it and hand it over at the aircraft, day or night.
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.
Geilenkirchen belongs to North Rhine-Westphalia, and the private jet menu we write for it leans on the Rhineland and the Lower Rhine plain. Private jet food from here means things that survive a drawer: Rheinischer Sauerbraten sliced and packed with its sauce apart, Himmel un Ääd (black pudding with apple and potato) for a crew that wants something hot, and Düsseldorf-style mustard beside a cold roast.
On the inflight menu the local specialities travel in two groups. The cold board carries Westphalian ham, Münsterland cheese, pumpernickel and Aachener Printen for the end of the meal. The oven group carries Reibekuchen with apple sauce and braised cheek in a pot of its own. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all draw from this list, so a leg out of Geilenkirchen tastes of North Rhine-Westphalia without anyone cooking on board.

At 296 feet above sea level on the Dutch border plain, ETNG is quiet most days and tight on access when it is not. Private jet catering for GKE starts with the permit and the handling agent, not the menu. We cook and pack for the aircraft type, then hand over at the aircraft or through the FBO. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same protocol here as elsewhere, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared before anything is cooked.
Business jet catering at Geilenkirchen usually means a small cabin, one oven and a quiet apron. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here are built as bespoke menus: a private jet chef writes the order around seat numbers and restrictions. Charter flight catering for a private jet charter follows the same shape, and luxury inflight catering stays simple: cold board first, hot dish packed to finish in the oven.
Government flight catering at Geilenkirchen runs through protocol: names, trays and seals are agreed before cooking. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are handled by a named team with a traceable chain from kitchen to aircraft. VIP aviation catering on a military field means discretion first, and the handling agent controls every step of airside access.
Special meals at Geilenkirchen are a procedure adapted to a regional kitchen where pork, butter and wheat sit in almost everything. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals each get their own board and box, marked by seat number, so Sauerbraten sauce or Reibekuchen oil never reaches a restricted tray.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For a crew that lands at ETNG and waits for a slot, crew catering means something hot and something cold in crew meal boxes. A crew meal at ETNG is something you ask for when the order is placed, and it appears on the invoice like every other dish. Flight crew meals can be split into pilot meals with two different mains, cockpit meals that eat easily on the flight deck, and cabin crew meals that match the passenger menu. Different meals for pilots are packed separately.
FBO catering at Geilenkirchen means catering delivery to the FBO or, on this military apron, to the handling agent at the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is limited, so ground handling catering is agreed in advance with your handling agent, who meets the cart airside. Handling agent catering is the same hand-over we make everywhere: sealed, labelled and passed at the steps.
ETNG is a military apron, and the aircraft type decides how the food arrives. For a larger aircraft, galley catering is loaded from a high loader through the main door; for a light jet it goes up the airstair in carts. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are agreed with the handling agent against door height and the galley's oven and chiller space.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Geilenkirchen Air Base is a military airfield in the Heinsberg district of North Rhine-Westphalia, best known as the home of a NATO airborne warning fleet. Airport catering here is quiet and exact, because general aviation traffic is limited and access is controlled. FBO services and ground handling services come through arranged channels rather than a walk-in terminal.
Business aviation hub is not what Geilenkirchen is, and that shapes the work: inflight catering and in-flight catering here are single-order jobs. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering are packed to the aircraft type, diplomatic flight catering is cleared before cooking, and cabin crew meals ride on the same hand-over.
Germany applies EU food rules: meat and dairy from outside the EU cannot be carried into the galley, and sealed dishes made in Germany travel freely within the EU. Geilenkirchen adds military access control, so the handling agent lodges the names and the cart passes with them. For a departure outside the EU, we label contents for the destination.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“On this departure from ETNG, 2 passengers had chosen a charcuterie board and fresh bread, and different crew meal preferences needed to be reflected in the order. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the side dishes to be packed accordingly. I want a private jet catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Our colleague could take over the desserts without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“For 8 passengers departing from GKE, the agreed menu was vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection; our main consideration was a short ground stop. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience. The Galley Girls labelled the breakfast portions in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. We could distinguish the fruit plates at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
“The cabin briefing at Geilenkirchen Air Base included 9 passenger meals, a request for roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, and instructions addressing two separate meal services. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about packing arrangement. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the main courses and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the snack boxes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
Two legs, two menus: that is how a Geilenkirchen round trip is priced. Private jet catering for the outbound might be a light cold board, while the return carries a hot course. We price per menu, per seat, and tell you which choices push the total up before you confirm.
A night departure here asks for one thing up front: who opens the gate. Once the handling agent confirms access, we cook to the slot. Lead time is about permits at ETNG; last-minute orders are still handled, day or night.
Customs at ETNG is two layers: EU food rules and the field's own access control. The handling agent signs people in; the cart is checked at the gate. Dishes prepared in Germany travel freely within the EU, and leaving it we label contents for the destination.
Short repositioning from GKE needs little: two pilot meals, perhaps a hot one for the longer sector. Bring what you like within customs rules, or order crew meals from us and keep the galley clean.
No, food is a separate order. On a long flight from GKE with two services, we write both menus together so the galley oven and chiller hold up, and invoice them apart from the charter.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
