Catering to your aircraft in Trier.
Low Eifel cloud, a controlled apron and a handling agent who needs your tail early: that is the rhythm at Spangdahlem. We cook the Rhineland-Palatinate dishes and pack them for your galley.
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.
For a flight leaving Spangdahlem, the private jet menu can start in Trier, Germany's oldest city, and its Moselle vineyards. Local specialities such as Riesling-cured salmon, Eifel wild boar terrine and potato pancakes with apple compote make a convincing inflight menu without needing a full kitchen on board. Rhineland-Palatinate private jet food is hearty by tradition, so we lighten portions for altitude.
Private jet platters for this region mix regional charcuterie, aged mountain cheese, pickles and dark bread; private jet snacks cover roasted chestnuts, Moselle apple chips and small pastries. Gourmet inflight meals follow the plate: a glazed Eifel pork cheek, a Riesling cream sauce kept apart, a seasonal vegetable gratin. Each dish is packed for the galley you have and marked for re-plating.
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.
Cold plateau mornings, low cloud over the Eifel and a runway that serves first the air base: that is the backdrop for private jet catering at Spangdahlem (ETAD / SPM). A flight attendant landing here usually wants a short, clean galley plan, and aviation catering in this corner of Rhineland-Palatinate can lean on Trier produce and Moselle wines. We cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for business aviation catering requests and executive jet catering trips alike, with diplomatic flight catering handled through protocol. Cabin crew meals can sit on the same order, requested and billed as a separate line.
Corporate jet catering for ETAD begins with the aircraft type, the seat plan and the handling agent's access rules. Our private jet chef builds a bespoke menu for business jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering, finished as luxury inflight catering with Rhineland-Palatinate ingredients.
Government flight catering at a military airfield is a matter of protocol: menus are cleared first, names stay off the labels, and dishes are traceable. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering for ETAD use sealed trays, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered through the handling agent.
Spangdahlem's regional kitchen leans on pork, cream, butter and wheat, so the dietary work happens at the ingredient level: kosher and halal meals are cooked and sealed apart from pork products, vegan plates replace butter and cream rather than just dropping the meat, and gluten free and allergen free dishes are prepared on separate boards. Special meals and kids meals are marked by seat on the lid, and a passenger's restriction never shares a tray with another's.
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.
On a cold Eifel morning the crew eats last, so crew meals are built to stay good: flight crew meals in sealed crew meal boxes, pilot meals and cockpit meals in separate packs with different meals for pilots when the operator wants it. Crew catering at ETAD is on request and billed like any other line; cabin crew meals can ride in the same order.
For ETAD we coordinate FBO catering with your handling agent, who decides where the vehicle stops. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering are all arranged around the general aviation terminal and the aircraft's parking position.
A visiting heavier aircraft at an airbase like Spangdahlem often changes the loading picture: ramp access is controlled, and the handling agent decides where the vehicle may stand. Galley catering for a larger cabin is planned around the type's door height and whether a high loader is needed, and airside catering delivery is arranged through the handling agent so aircraft provisioning happens at the door without delay on the apron.

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.
ETAD is an air base first, so airport catering has to fit its procedures. General aviation visitors rely on FBO services and ground handling services arranged in advance, and our delivery follows that routine.
Spangdahlem is not a classic business aviation hub, yet corporate jets and delegations visit the Trier region by arrangement. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here mix aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering; diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request.
Germany's food import rules follow the EU framework, so loading at Spangdahlem for an EU destination is straightforward, while third-country arrivals can restrict meat and dairy. Plan the order around what can be consumed in flight.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Spangdahlem Air Base, the next request was avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 6 guests, with two separate meal services to work around. I wanted clear identification on the fruit plates; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. This experience of VIP flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. We could distinguish the main courses at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
“Before our guests boarded at ETAD, we needed vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection divided into 9 portions suitable for a small galley worktop. I would discuss charter flight catering with them again, especially when meal organisation needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the desserts readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the breakfast portions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“I wanted fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 11 guests at SPM, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a late menu amendment. With private jet food, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sandwiches, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the desserts before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
Prices follow ingredients and logistics. A seasonal Moselle dish costs differently in autumn than in winter, and controlled airside access through the handling agent is a logistic line of its own. For how much does private jet catering cost at Spangdahlem, we answer with a written quote per menu.
Repositioning without passengers changes the order: no platters, only cockpit and crew dishes. Lead time on that is the easiest case at ETAD, and a request made late is still handled, as long as the handling agent knows who is coming to the door.
Germany is inside the EU single market, so food loaded for an onward EU flight faces few barriers, but a long leg outside the EU brings third-country import rules at the destination, especially for meat, dairy and eggs. Customs on a two-service flight means planning the second meal so leftovers can be landed or discarded correctly. We pack with that in mind and label each item.
Outside food can come aboard, but at an airbase the access routine comes first and the handling agent decides. With a late headcount change we recommend a small buffer of portions on the order; extras are handled as part of last-minute requests.
The charter price does not include meals. For a delegation or state flight at ETAD, catering is its own line, ordered with the trip and invoiced separately, with discretion on names and menus.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
