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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Kithira Island

Kithira sits at the south tip of the Peloponnese, administered with Attica, and its kitchen is island and Cretan-Peloponnesian at once. A private jet menu for Kithira leans on thyme honey, which Kythirian beekeepers sell in dark, resinous jars, and on local cheeses such as the sharp, salted Kythirian graviera and soft mizithra. The inflight menu goes cold first: a board of Greek cheeses, olives, capers from the cliffs, dakos-style rusks, and sliced fruit. Private jet food from the island runs to rabbit stifado and slow lamb, both of which hold well in a foil tray with the sauce apart. Local specialities travel better in the galley when they are re-plated rather than cooked on board: you open the tray, pour the sauce, finish on a warm plate.

Order private jet platters for Kithira and the first thing the galley team asks is what the cabin can heat. Ours are packed for the oven you have. Chilled courses carry the island: Kythirian cheese, anthotyro with thyme honey, marinated anchovies, wild greens pie in neat squares, and the fig preserves the village bakeries make. Hot courses lean on grilled octopus with lemon oil sauce apart, and lamb with oregano potatoes from the plateau. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks on this field are simple on purpose: rusks, nuts, dried figs, a jar of honey. Kithira's local specialities reward a light touch, which is exactly what a jet galley wants.

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

Kithira's single runway sits high on a windswept plateau at 1,045 ft, and light jets flying in from Athens and Mykonos see it mostly in summer. Private jet catering here is planned around a short apron stay and a galley that rarely has more than a microwave: inflight catering built for that, aviation catering with island thyme honey and local cheese, business aviation catering for owners who fly in for the weekend. Executive jet catering for the same tails, and cabin crew meals ordered with the trip.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Kithira Airport

Business jet catering at Kithira is usually a weekend lunch for four to eight: corporate jet catering with chilled mezze, a hot lamb or fish in the oven tray, and thyme honey for the cheese. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering on the island share the same limits: one oven or none, a short stand, a crew that wants one hot plate each. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around that galley, not around a dinner for twelve.

Government flight catering tray for a state aircraft at LGKC, Kithira Island
State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Kithira Island (LGKC)

Government flight catering on Kithira is rare, and when a state aircraft diverts or overnights on the island, the order goes through protocol before anything is cooked. Head of state flight catering means a named team, traceable ingredients and a discreet handover at the stand. VIP aviation catering for a ministerial party works the same way, and state visit aircraft catering at LGKC is planned around security and the handling agent: the kitchen sees seat numbers, never names. Local honey and cheese can go on the tray only if protocol clears them.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Kithira Airport (KIT)

On Kithira the allergen question is mostly about nuts, sesame and cheese: almonds go into the sweets, tahini turns up in spreads, and graviera sits on many plates. Special meals are built on a separate board and sealed in a box with the seat number and the restriction written on the lid. Kosher and halal orders are sealed before they leave the kitchen; vegan, gluten free and kids meals follow the local menu rather than a generic list, so a vegan guest gets carob syrup in place of thyme honey and a herb pie. Allergen free requests are confirmed in writing with your handling agent before the slot.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Kithira Airport

At LGKC the crew often sits in the aircraft or the small terminal, so crew meals need to be eaten without a table. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals come in crew meal boxes that stack in the drawer. Crew catering is on request and billed with the trip; cabin crew meals can differ from the pilots', and we pack different meals for pilots when two dishes are asked for.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Kithira Airport (KIT)

On Kithira the FBO catering handover happens at the general aviation terminal door or at the stand, with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering: the agent confirms the stand and the gate, and handling agent catering is delivered airside to the aircraft steps. The terminal is small, so the order is staged and moved in one run.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Kithira Airport

Kithira handles light and mid-size business jets, so most orders move by van to the stand and up the airstair, not by high loader. When a larger cabin does arrive, aircraft provisioning follows the aircraft: galley catering is sized to the trolleys and ovens it carries, and the handling agent arranges airside catering delivery to the door that opens. The apron is small and the stand allocation tight, which is why tail number and door position matter more here than the size of the order.

About the airportLGKC / KIT

About Kithira Airport (LGKC): aviation catering and general aviation

LGKC serves the island of Kithira, administered with Attica but closer in character to the Peloponnese. FBO services and ground handling services are simple, and the general aviation stand is easy to reach from the terminal. Airport catering on a strip this size means small orders handled with care: aviation catering and business aviation catering here are a few trays, not a convoy of trolleys.

Business aviation

Kithira is a business aviation hub only in summer, when owners fly in from Athens and the Cyclades. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for those trips is chilled mezze and one hot dish; aviation catering and business aviation catering on a short stand mean the airport catering order is staged and moved in a single run. Executive jet catering suits the weekend crowd, diplomatic flight catering is occasional, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the trip.

Customs & food import

Food loaded on the island stays within EU rules for flights inside Greece or the EU. For a non-EU leg, restrictions on fresh meat and dairy apply on arrival, so airport catering for those flights is packed tinned and sealed on request, and the plan is confirmed with your handling agent.

★★★★★LIGHT JET
“One detail shaped our order at KIT: a changing departure schedule, alongside a request for grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 4 passengers. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the sauces, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. For in-flight catering, that attention to meal organisation made the order noticeably easier to manage. Separating the desserts from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

“Breakfast was already sorted; at Kithira Airport, the next request was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 7 guests, with a family lunch request to work around. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the vip inflight catering arrangements. The Galley Girls labelled the snack boxes in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. We could distinguish the breakfast portions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“On this departure from LGKC, 12 passengers had chosen smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit, and limited fridge space needed to be reflected in the order. My main takeaway from this private jet catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. The Galley Girls kept the salads separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. Keeping the breakfast portions aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Asked before every LGKC slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Kithira?+

There is no way to answer well without the crew plan: a crew waiting on the ground eats twice, a crew leaving at once eats once. That one fact moves the price more than any single dish, and we confirm the total before delivery.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Kithira?+

Lead time on Kithira is shaped by the type of flight, not the size of the order. A hop from Athens with a passenger dinner needs the menu agreed with the handling agent in advance; an empty positioning leg needs less. Last-minute orders are handled either way.

Are there customs rules for catering at Kithira?+

Customs on the island is usually quiet, but the aircraft type still shapes the order: a small cabin with limited galley space gets pre-plated chilled courses, and a large one gets trolleys and ovens. Non-EU onward flights call for sealed, labelled portions.

Can you bring food on board at Kithira?+

Passengers often bring local honey or pastries from the village; that is fine. What needs care is the special-meal request: kosher, halal or allergen free orders are confirmed before the slot and handed over sealed.

Is catering part of a charter into Kithira?+

No: catering sits on its own invoice. For a charter landing on Kithira, tell us who the handling agent is and which stand is allocated, and the order is delivered to that door, plane-side.
