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

Kozani on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at KZI

Western Macedonia is not the Greece of the island menus. Around Kozani the table is built on cold winters: pies, slow-cooked pork, beans, and above all Krokos Kozanis, the saffron grown on the plateau and protected by its designation. A private jet menu for LGKZ can use it in a risotto, a cream sauce or a simple rice, and it travels well because it flavours rather than sits on top.

Our inflight menu for Kozani leans on local specialities that keep their shape in a galley: leek and cheese pies that finish in the oven, gigantes beans, regional cured meats and sheep cheeses for a cold board. Private jet food from this part of Greece is honest and generous, so we plate it simply and let the saffron and the dairy do the work. Private jet platters carry the cold side, gourmet inflight meals the hot one, and private jet snacks the small items for the cabin.

For a guest who wants to eat where the aircraft landed, Western Macedonia gives a clear answer: wine from the Amyntaio area, honey, walnuts, and pork from the surrounding villages. These local specialities sit well beside lighter requests, so the same order can hold a regional hot dish, a cold platter and a fruit plate, all marked by seat.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Kozani National Airport Filippos (LGKZ)

A business jet into Kozani usually carries a small party on a corporate or executive schedule, with a galley that has a drawer and maybe one oven. Business jet catering for LGKZ means a short list of dishes that hold: saffron rice, a pie, a cold board. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the same structure, charter flight catering is quoted per trip, and luxury inflight catering arrives as a plated finish from a private jet chef, with a bespoke menu agreed before the slot.

Special meals at Kozani start from the local kitchen, where pies, dairy and wheat run through half the menu. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests are written as a procedure: separate board, separate box, seat number on the lid.

About the airportLGKZ / KZI

Airport catering at Kozani National Airport Filippos (LGKZ)

Kozani National Airport Filippos serves Western Macedonia from a plateau at 2,059 ft. Airport catering here suits small jets and turboprops on regional movements, and the general aviation traffic is modest. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through the handling agent, and a business aviation hub role is limited to occasional corporate and charter movements.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at Kozani are ordered as for any jet, then adapted to a cold plateau ramp. Aviation catering for business aviation catering requests uses the same logic: local products, galley-aware packing, oven finishes. Executive jet catering suits short corporate hops, diplomatic flight catering uses sealed boxes, and cabin crew meals are added on request.

Customs & food import

Greece applies EU food rules, and Kozani follows them. Food from other EU countries moves freely, while meat and dairy from outside the Union is checked and may be refused at the border. Our menus use local Western Macedonia producers so the order avoids import steps, and we tell you if a special request falls outside that.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Kozani National Airport Filippos, the next request was a cheese board and savoury canapés for 7 guests, with a short ground stop to work around. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of breakfast portions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. It was useful to see the sandwiches listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER
“Small packing details became important at LGKZ: our 7 passengers wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and we had several individual meal preferences. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the breakfast portions readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The sauces were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Between cabin checks at KZI, I coordinated a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 9 guests and explained our concerns about a family lunch request. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about flight catering services. I asked The Galley Girls for the sauces in divided catering boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the canapés aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Asked before every LGKZ slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Kozani National Airport Filippos when the handling agent controls airside access?+

At a small airfield like LGKZ, access is arranged through the handling agent before the slot. That arrangement is part of how we quote. How much does private jet catering cost depends on dishes, seat count and finish, and we send a figure before you confirm.

What lead time applies to private jet catering at Kozani, given Greek food-import rules?+

Customs sets the pace here. Greece follows EU food rules, so an order built from regional dishes is straightforward, and one that relies on imported items is not. We state which category your menu falls into when we confirm.

How do customs rules affect a delegation or government flight catering order at Kozani?+

For a government flight, customs at Kozani cares about origin and sealed packaging. Local Western Macedonia food arrives with a clear source, and diplomatic flight catering is delivered sealed and traceable to the aircraft.

Can you bring food of your own for a night departure or early morning slot at Kozani?+

Carrying your own food is permitted within the usual rules. At night or at dawn, local shops are closed, so most crews arrange hot or cold boxes with us so nothing waits on a cold apron.

Is catering part of a charter into Kozani, and can one local product go on the menu?+

Catering sits outside a charter, so you order it yourself. For Kozani we suggest centring the menu on Krokos Kozanis, the protected saffron, and keeping the rest simple.
