Catering to your aircraft in Szolnok.
LHSN is a base where light and mid-size jets turn quickly and the crew often waits on the apron. Szolnok catering is built for that: sealed trays, sauce apart, labelled by seat, handed over by your handling agent.
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.
The Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County plain is paprika, river fish and slow-cooked pot dishes, and a private jet menu for Szolnok can lean on all of it. Our inflight menu starts from local specialities such as fisherman's soup from the Tisza, made with carp and paprika and packed in a sealed pot, or stuffed cabbage that goes into the oven on board. Private jet food from this region travels well when the sauce is packed apart and the garnish is re-plated cold. For a lighter trip, private jet platters of Hungarian cured meats, sheep cheese and pickled peppers keep in the drawer until the seatbelt sign goes off. Gourmet inflight meals here are built around what the county actually grows, and private jet snacks follow the same logic: pogácsa, paprika-dusted nuts and seasonal fruit from the plain. Sweets finish the order with túrós csusza or a poppy seed pastry, both in sealed trays that cope with cabin pressure.
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.
The Tisza river and the paprika of the Hungarian plain set the tone for food at Szolnok. Private jet catering for LHSN starts from that: local product, packed to survive a galley with one oven. We cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for passengers, aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering for owner trips, diplomatic flight catering for delegations and cabin crew meals for the cabin team, all ordered by phone or email, day or night.
Owners and charter clients flying into Szolnok Air Base arrive with a short list: how many, which type, how long on the ground. Business jet catering, corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are cooked to that list. Charter flight catering for larger parties is packed per seat, and luxury inflight catering draws on paprika, river fish and sheep cheese from the county. Our private jet chef builds a bespoke menu that fits the galley.
A delegation landing at Szolnok Air Base needs a quiet handover and a menu already cleared. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering run through a named team, and state visit aircraft catering is sealed, labelled by seat only and passed over through the handling agent. Nothing is announced beyond what the protocol office has agreed.
Special meals at Szolnok follow the local kitchen, where the allergen risk sits in sour cream, wheat noodles, nuts in pastry and shared fish stocks. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders are cooked and packed on separate boards and in separate boxes, labelled by seat number only. Kids meals follow the same process, with smaller portions and no spice. Tell us the restriction when you send the tail and the slot, and the card travels with the tray.
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.
At LHSN the crew often waits on the ground, so crew meals are a separate request, ordered and invoiced with the rest. Flight crew meals and crew catering come in crew meal boxes labelled CREW, with pilot meals and cockpit meals built to be eaten without a table. Different meals for pilots are packed separately on request. Cabin crew meals travel apart from the guest trays and are handed over at the same stop.
FBO catering at Szolnok means the tray goes to the FBO or the general aviation terminal, and from there to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, who opens the right door for airside access. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the base's access rules, so we need the tail and the slot.
Aircraft at Szolnok Air Base range from light jets to larger types, and the aircraft decides how galley catering is loaded. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO or your handling agent, to the door that fits the type: a front or rear door at ground level for most business jets, a high loader for larger cabins. Aircraft provisioning on a military-use field follows access rules set by the base, so we need the tail and the slot in advance to plan the handover.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

LHSN, Szolnok Air Base, serves Hungarian military aviation and receives selected general aviation traffic. Airport catering here needs the tail and the slot early, since access to the apron runs through the FBO and the ground handler.
Szolnok is not a classic business aviation hub, but general aviation and FBO services are available through the base for approved flights. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for passengers, aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering for owner trips and diplomatic flight catering for official visits all work the same way here. Cabin crew meals travel with the order. Ground handling services shape the handover.
Customs at Szolnok follows Hungarian and EU law. Animal products brought from outside the EU can be stopped at inspection, while locally prepared trays arrive without an import step. For a mixed order, we label what is ours and what is yours.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“What impressed me at Szolnok Air Base was how a request for yoghurt pots and fresh berries was handled despite a family lunch request. The Galley Girls labelled the sandwiches in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about galley preparation.”
“Getting mini sandwiches and individual desserts ready for 5 guests at LHSN required an order that accounted for a short ground stop. I needed the snack boxes checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The order made private jet catering menu feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand. The salads remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
“Clear quantities were essential at Szolnok Air Base: we had 11 passengers expecting a mezze selection with flatbreads and were working around a changing departure schedule. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the private aviation catering arrangements. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the starters to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the sandwiches properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
A special-meal request at LHSN is quoted line by line. Kosher in sealed packaging, halal from a certified source, a gluten free plate or a child's portion each carries its own cost, and none of them is a flat add-on. Private jet catering at Szolnok is invoiced as ordered, so the more precise the request, the more precise the figure.
A crew near the end of its duty day does not want to wait for a late tray. On LHSN orders we ask about duty time and ground waiting first, then fix the handover point. Lead time depends on that, and last-minute requests are handled. Phone or email, day or night.
For a short stop at LHSN, customs is mostly a matter of what you bring versus what we prepare. Our trays are cooked in Hungary and passed to the aircraft on your slot, so they carry no import formalities. Meat, dairy and fresh produce from outside the EU face strict rules, so plan those before the turnaround begins.
Yes, you can bring food, but we advise adding one Hungarian item. For Szolnok that means something from the plain: a paprika sausage, a sheep cheese, or a goose liver terrine served chilled. Packaged food from your own supplier can go on the same trip. Customs rules on animal products still apply.
No, the charter contract and the catering order are two different things. At Szolnok you place the food order directly with us and receive a separate invoice. Customs only matters for food you carry in from outside the EU, where meat, dairy and fresh produce are restricted. Our trays are prepared in Hungary.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
