Catering to your aircraft in Laage.
Rostock-Laage is a flat Mecklenburg field where private jets arrive for coast, lakes and trade fairs. We pack for your galley, in the order the cabin will be served.
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.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern means Baltic coast, lakes and farmland, and the private jet menu at Laage borrows from all three. A private jet menu for ETNL leans on smoked eel, Baltic herring and zander from the Mecklenburg lakes, with sea buckthorn (Sanddorn) as the signature fruit of the coast. Private jet food from this region travels well when it is cold: fish on rye, Mecklenburg ham, farm cheeses and Rostock pastries. These local specialities are packed as private jet platters, cut per passenger, with sauces in their own pots.
The inflight menu at Rostock-Laage starts from what the coast gives in each season. Private jet snacks here are sea buckthorn bars, rye crispbread with smoked fish and Mecklenburg nuts and apples; gourmet inflight meals can be zander with potato and dill, or a roasted venison from the region's forests. Every local speciality is described the way it will leave the galley: oven, sauce apart, chilled or re-plated cold. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern also rewards a simple private jet menu of fresh bread, butter and smoked salmon.

Rostock-Laage sits on a flat Mecklenburg plain, a field shared with the military and busiest when Baltic summer traffic arrives. Private jet catering at ETNL is packed for the galley you actually have: inflight catering with coastal fish, in-flight catering with Mecklenburg dairy, and aviation catering handed to your FBO or handling agent. Business aviation catering here is shaped by seasons, not by a fixed menu, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals come out of the same kitchen.
A typical business jet brief at Laage is a short hop from Berlin or Hamburg, four to eight passengers, light galley. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour cold smoked fish and a single hot plate. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all start with the tail's galley, and a private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around Baltic produce.
State visit aircraft catering at Rostock-Laage depends on protocol and discretion. Head of state flight catering and government flight catering orders are cleared in advance, packed under seal and handed over by a named team. VIP aviation catering never carries names on the labels.
Special meals at Laage follow the same procedure as everywhere: a separate board, a labelled box and a seat number. Here the allergen to watch is fish, since so much of the local table is smoked eel, herring and zander, so allergen free, gluten free and vegan plates are prepared away from it. Kosher and halal meals are ordered ahead as sealed packs, kids meals can be plain pasta or soft rye with local cheese, and every special meal is confirmed against your passenger list.

With a small field like Rostock-Laage, crew meals are simple and sit apart from the passenger service. Flight crew meals come on request and are invoiced as part of the order; pilot meals can be hot or cold, and crew catering is packed for the jumpseat. Cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes with a seat tag, and different meals for pilots are available when your operator asks for them.
At Rostock-Laage the FBO is the place where the order changes hands. FBO catering is brought to the general aviation terminal and passed to your handling agent; catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are confirmed against your slot. Handling agent catering stays the same for every tail.
Rostock-Laage handles light and mid-size business jets most of the year, so galley catering usually travels in a van and is carried up the airstair. When a larger aircraft is on the apron, we ask the type and the door height so airside catering delivery can be arranged with a high loader through your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning here follows the galley of the tail, ovens and drawers included.

Laage sits on flat farmland in northern Germany, a working airfield with a civil terminal beside it. Airport catering for private aircraft is arranged through the general aviation side, with the same plane-side handover as anywhere.
Rostock-Laage is a modest business aviation hub: general aviation traffic peaks in summer around the Baltic coast, and trade fairs and events add flights. FBO services and ground handling services are provided to light and mid-size jets. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here lean on Baltic produce; aviation catering and business aviation catering stay consistent; executive jet catering suits owners, diplomatic flight catering is handled with protocol, and cabin crew meals are a separate order.
Germany applies EU food rules: meat and dairy from outside the EU face restrictions on entry, so a return leg is usually catered locally. Customs at Laage look at where the flight comes from, and plain items like bread and fruit usually pass. Tell us the route and we plan the order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Our priority at RLG was vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 4 passengers, with a family lunch request shaping the service plan. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the starters to arrive in shallow trays. Separating the salads from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. My main takeaway from this aviation catering order was the practical approach to written menu details.”
“Keeping the galley organised at Rostock-Laage Airport meant planning beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 9 guests with several individual meal preferences in mind. The Galley Girls labelled the main courses in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. My main takeaway from this aviation catering services order was the practical approach to catering handover. Keeping the salads identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“My order at ETNL covered a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 4 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a changing departure schedule. I want an aviation catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls kept the crew provisions separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. Keeping the sauces aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
Ask us for a quote with the tail, the slot and the passenger count. Prices at ETNL come from the dishes: zander with dill potatoes sits differently from a cheese board. German customs rules on animal products explain why a return flight is usually catered here rather than carried in.
Tell us the type and the galley, and we say what fits. At ETNL most aircraft are light or mid-size, so menus are built around a small oven and a drawer. Seasonal fish may need a day to source in summer, but last-minute orders are handled.
When a weather window opens late, the order stays valid: customs only look at where the flight is coming from and where it is going. For a flight leaving Germany, local catering loads without issue; food brought in from non-EU countries may be refused. We adjust the handover to the new slot.
Planning the way back is part of the order. Give us the return slot and we pack a menu for that leg, cold or with an oven dish. Personal food is allowed for plain items; customs may stop meat, fish and dairy from non-EU origin.
A charter does not cover food. Whether your slot is near midnight or before dawn, catering is a separate order, invoiced as such. We are available 24/7, so early and night departures from ETNL are handled like any other.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
