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

The Manching table, packed for private jet catering

Bavaria is a pantry before it is a postcard, and Ingolstadt Manching Airport is a good place to use it. A private jet menu for Manching draws on local specialities that survive a galley: Weisswurst kept warm in its own water and served with sweet mustard, Obatzda in a sealed pot with radishes cut at the last stage, and Brezn from a Bavarian bakery packed in paper, not plastic, so the crust holds.

The inflight menu can run cold or hot. Leberkäse is sliced thick and goes into the oven as a hot plate; a Schweinsbraten with dark beer sauce comes with the sauce apart. For lighter flights, private jet food from the Danube valley means smoked trout, Spargel in season, and farm cheeses. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all follow the same rule here: nothing that needs a chef in the cabin.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ingolstadt Manching Airport (ETSI)

Ingolstadt Manching Airport sits at 1,202 ft on the Bavarian plateau, a military-industrial field where business traffic uses the general aviation terminal beside working hangars. Private jet catering here is planned around that apron: a pretzel board that stays soft, a roast that carves in the galley, a cold plate for the passenger who lands hungry. For the flight attendant, inflight catering at ETSI means packing for a galley that may have one oven and little counter space. We run aviation catering and business aviation catering for the crew, with executive jet catering menus, diplomatic flight catering when protocol asks for it, and cabin crew meals ordered alongside.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Ingolstadt Manching Airport

A typical business jet catering order at Ingolstadt Manching is a small cabin, four to six guests, a morning departure and one oven in the galley. We plan corporate jet catering around that: Bavarian cold plates, a hot Weisswurst or Leberkäse course, VIP flight catering for the principal's table, and charter flight catering when the operator wants the menu fixed in advance. Luxury inflight catering here is quiet and well made, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around the aircraft and the guests.

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Ingolstadt Manching Airport

Government flight catering at Manching follows protocol before it follows the recipe: the menu is cleared, the team is named, and nothing is said about the guest. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are handled with the same traceability, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered to the aircraft through your handling agent, with discretion at the apron.

Special meals at Ingolstadt Manching start with what Bavarian kitchens hide: wheat in the Brezn, lard in the pastry, milk in nearly every sauce. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free plates are packed in their own boxes with a card by seat number, and allergen free meals are cooked and sealed apart from everything else. Kids meals follow the same card system, with simple Bavarian dishes like Spätzle and chicken.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Ingolstadt Manching Airport

For the crew at ETSI, we order crew meals on request, billed as a normal line. Flight crew meals come in boxes the pilots can open one-handed; pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed apart from the cabin, and different meals for pilots are offered so captain and first officer do not share a dish. Crew catering and crew meal boxes follow the rotation, and cabin crew meals ride in the same delivery.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Ingolstadt Manching Airport (ETSI)

FBO catering at Ingolstadt Manching means catering delivery to the FBO on the apron beside the hangars. The general aviation terminal is where your crew meets us, and ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent before the slot. Handling agent catering at ETSI covers airside access, the aircraft door and the handover, so the food reaches the galley without anyone chasing it.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Ingolstadt Manching Airport (IGS)

Aircraft at ETSI range from light jets to larger cabin types, and the aircraft decides the loading. Galley catering for a bigger cabin may call for a high loader and airside catering delivery through the main door; a light jet gets boxes carried up the stairs by hand. We plan aircraft provisioning to the door height and the galley layout, and agree access with your handling agent before the slot.

About the airportETSI / IGS

About Ingolstadt Manching Airport (ETSI): aviation catering and general aviation

Ingolstadt Manching Airport, ETSI, is a Bavarian field shared between military-industrial use and general aviation. Airport catering here serves the business jets that use the general aviation apron, with the terminal and hangars on the same side of the field.

Business aviation

General aviation at Manching is shaped by Bavaria's industry: corporate flights in, a small number of charter operations, and visiting aircraft that need FBO services and ground handling services at short notice. As a business aviation hub it is quiet but regular. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders here are mostly small and precise. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered along with the rest.

Customs & food import

Germany is inside the EU and the Schengen area, so a flight within it has simple food rules; leaving for a non-EU country brings customs limits on meat, dairy and eggs. We plan the order around where the aircraft is going next.

“Several practical details needed attention at Ingolstadt Manching Airport, with mini sandwiches and individual desserts requested for 7 guests and two separate meal services to accommodate. The Galley Girls labelled the sauces in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I would discuss airline catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination. The main courses were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Nothing about the 11 guest order at ETSI called for excess complexity: just a cold lunch with cheese and fruit and sensible planning for a late menu amendment. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about crew meals. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The note about the sauces was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Menu approval at IGS covered mushroom risotto and a green salad for 9 guests, leaving us to organise the service around two separate meal services. Our brief for FBO catering was met with a sensible plan for written menu details. The Galley Girls kept the snack boxes separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the main courses as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

Ordering for ETSI, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a light jet with a small galley at Manching?+

Private jet catering cost at Ingolstadt Manching depends on how much the galley can handle. One oven and little counter space means a simpler, cheaper menu; a full galley opens up roasts, dumplings and desserts. We price the menu, then add nothing hidden at the handover.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when winter weather can move departures at ETSI?+

In winter the departure decides the order. If ETSI is held by snow or low cloud, tell us the new slot; last-minute orders are handled and nothing needs to be re-cooked from scratch if the menu allows.

Do customs rules apply if I order a return leg from Manching for the way back?+

A return-leg order from ETSI carries a customs question: what is allowed into the arrival country. We check it with your handling agent and pack the menu to match, using bakery, vegetables and cooked plates when animal products are restricted.

Can you bring food to Ingolstadt Manching for a night departure or an early morning slot?+

You can, and an early morning slot is a good case for it: a hot breakfast of Weisswurst and Brezn, or a cold plate that waits in the drawer, arrives at your FBO. The handover follows your slot, night or day.

Is catering part of a charter into Manching, or does the handling agent arrange it?+

No, catering sits outside the charter contract at Manching. Your handling agent gets us through airside, and we hand the food to your crew at the aircraft; the order and the invoice are separate.
