Catering to your aircraft in Lübeck.
EDHL is a quiet Baltic field, and a quiet field suits a careful galley order. We cook and pack private jet catering for Lübeck, hand it over at the aircraft through your FBO, and keep the phone open day and 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.
Schleswig-Holstein gives a private jet menu at Lübeck its character: Baltic herring and smoked fish, Holstein beef, rye and dark bread, and the town's famous marzipan. Our inflight menu for Lübeck is built from these local specialities, packed for a galley with little space.
Private jet food here travels well when it is chosen with care. Smoked fish and cured meats stay cold, a Holstein stew finishes in the oven, and the marzipan goes in last, boxed apart. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all draw on what the region grows and catches.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
A turnaround at EDHL is usually a small aircraft and a short list, so the brief is easy to get right. For private jet catering we cook for the galley you actually have; inflight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering for the same trip go on one order. For an executive jet catering order or a diplomatic flight catering request, the steps do not change: aircraft, galley, seat plan, then the cooking.
Lübeck business traffic is mostly small jets in and out. We cook business jet catering around the galley that is really on board: corporate jet catering with cold plates, VIP flight catering with a hot main sauced apart, charter flight catering labelled by seat. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering means quiet, careful service.
Government flight catering at Lübeck is planned through the protocol office, not the kitchen. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering go to a named team with full traceability and discretion. VIP aviation catering for official trips follows the same method: menus approved first, then cooked.
At Lübeck the allergen to watch is nuts: marzipan is everywhere, so a nut-free order is boxed, labelled and kept apart from the sweet plates. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals follow a written procedure with a separate board and a sealed box; kids meals go in on request.
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.
When a crew waits at EDHL, they eat well or not at all, so crew meals are packed with that in mind. Flight crew meals come in crew meal boxes, pilot meals are easy to handle in the cockpit, and crew catering is invoiced like any order. We pack cockpit meals as a separate item, with different meals for pilots if policy says so, and cabin crew meals stay apart from guest trays.
At EDHL the order reaches the aircraft through the FBO, and FBO catering here is a handover, not a delivery run to the terminal. We arrange catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent, who opens the way from the general aviation terminal to the apron. Handling agent catering and ground handling catering are agreed on your slot, never on the ramp.
What goes through the door at EDHL depends on the airframe parked on the apron. A light or midsize jet takes the catering by hand through the cabin door, while a larger airframe may need galley catering by high loader, so airside catering delivery is agreed with your handling agent in advance. We note the galley layout and door height before packing, as part of normal aircraft provisioning.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
EDHL serves the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and its surrounding Baltic region. The field handles general aviation and occasional business traffic, so airport catering is a matter of the aircraft type and the slot, not of congestion.
The summer season on the Baltic fills the apron at EDHL with small and midsize jets. For them we do inflight catering and in-flight catering, plus aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering for official trips, and cabin crew meals for the crew, are all on the same order. General aviation, FBO services and ground handling services keep the field a modest business aviation hub.
Germany applies EU rules on food brought in from outside the EU: meat, fish and dairy are the sensitive items. For flights leaving EDHL we plan the menu with the next country in mind and tell you what can stay on board.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 6 people at EDHL was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a family lunch request. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the desserts clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the breakfast portions to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience.”
“Service planning came first at LBC, with 6 passengers choosing fresh fruit and breakfast pastries and a changing departure schedule influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the sandwiches readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the side dishes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. With flight catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Menu approval at Lübeck Blankensee Airport covered a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 7 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a short ground stop. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the main courses into divided catering boxes that were easy to handle. With flight catering services, careful attention to storage requirements matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. I could hand the salads to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
A kosher, halal, allergen-free or child's plate is priced as its own line, because it is cooked and packed apart. How much private jet catering costs at EDHL therefore depends on the plates: a nut-free tray for a guest costs differently from a standard cold platter, and your quote lists each one.
Tell us how long the aircraft stays on the ground at EDHL and the crew meal is planned around that wait. Lead time stays flexible, orders are taken 24/7, and last-minute requests are handled like any other.
Customs shapes the menu more than the clock. A tight slot at Lübeck still means declared food and EU rules on meat, fish and dairy for the next country, so we choose ingredients that clear without a hold-up and pack them labelled by seat.
You can bring your own, but a local product avoids the paperwork. Lübecker marzipan, Baltic smoked fish or a Holstein cheese goes straight onto the menu, packed for the galley and labelled, with nothing to carry through customs.
No. Catering is not part of a charter: it is ordered separately and invoiced as its own order. For private jet catering at Lübeck we also follow German and EU import rules when choosing the ingredients.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
