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 Tököl

Pest County wraps around Budapest, and the food that travels best from this side of Hungary is the food Hungarians already carry in a basket: paprika salami, goose liver, cured sausage, cottage cheese pastry and sour cherry. For a private jet menu at Tököl we pick what holds up in a drawer and a small oven, and we split it into an inflight menu that suits the cabin and one that suits the flight deck. Private jet food from Hungary is not shy: gulyás in a sealed pot, chicken paprikash with nokedli packed apart, lángos only as a hot add-on that is re-plated at once. Local specialities are written onto the order the way you would say them on the plane, so nobody has to translate a menu mid-flight.

Pest County is flat farmland, vineyards and the Danube, and the private jet menu we write for Tököl follows that: river fish, goose, duck, paprika and soft cheeses, with Tokaji and Hungarian pastries closing the meal. An inflight menu for a midsize jet needs dishes that survive a drawer and a short oven pass, so stuffed cabbage, paprikash and túrós csusza travel better than fried dishes. Private jet food in this region is generous by habit; we scale it to the seat count. Local specialities such as Pick salami, Gundel-style pancakes and Kürtőskalács are named exactly on the order so the cabin crew can plate them without guessing. Pest County is also where the produce comes from, and we say so on the label.

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

The apron at LHTL is small and the terminal is a general aviation building, so an order for Tököl is packed to the aircraft in front of the FBO door. Private jet catering for Budapest-bound passengers leans on paprika, goose, sour cherry and Tokaji. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all start with the same three facts: type of aircraft, galley and departure slot. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are written the same way, around what the galley can actually do.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Tököl Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Tököl is usually a four-to-eight seat brief for a midsize or light jet with a small galley and one oven. Corporate jet catering here favours Hungarian lunches: paprikash, cheese, cold cuts and a strudel. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same order form, and luxury inflight catering means the right glass and the right plate rather than extra courses. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft's drawers and the passengers' tastes.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Tököl Airport

Hungarian cooking hides allergens in places a galley does not expect: flour in the paprikash sauce, dairy in the dumplings, egg in the noodles, nuts and poppy seed in the pastries. At Tököl, a kosher request, a halal meal, a vegan tray, gluten free dishes, allergen free plates and kids meals are each packed on a separate board and sealed apart, with the seat number on the lid. Special meals are agreed with you before the slot, and the card travels with the tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Tököl Airport (LHTL)

Crew meals at Tököl are ordered with the flight and invoiced like the rest of the order; they are packed as flight crew meals in boxes that open with one hand. Pilot meals and cockpit meals travel sealed and labelled CREW, so the captain and first officer can eat different dishes if the operator asks. Crew catering and crew meal boxes suit long ground waits at LHTL, and different meals for pilots are packed on request. Cabin crew meals are sized to the sector.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Tököl Airport (LHTL): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Tököl is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the foot of the aircraft, whichever your handling agent prefers. Catering delivery to the FBO goes through the ground handling catering route, and handling agent catering is arranged on your slot.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Tököl Airport

LHTL serves mostly light and midsize jets, so galley catering is carried to the door of the aircraft rather than lifted by a platform. When a larger type comes in, airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent and a high loader if the cabin door sits high. Aircraft provisioning at Tököl depends on the type: tell us the aircraft and the galley and we pack to its drawers and ovens.

About the airportLHTL

Aviation catering and business aviation at Tököl Airport (LHTL)

LHTL is a general aviation field with a long history as a military airbase, now open to private and corporate flights and used as a business aviation hub for the Budapest area. Airport catering for Tököl is arranged around the FBO and the handling agent.

Business aviation

Tököl fits operators who want a calmer field than the main Budapest airport. FBO services and ground handling services are on the apron, inflight catering and in-flight catering are delivered to the aircraft, and aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering all sit on one order. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are written on request. General aviation is the daily business here.

Customs & food import

Hungary is in the EU, and food rules depend on where the aircraft arrives from: intra-EU flights move food with little friction, while non-EU arrivals face limits on meat and dairy. For a business aviation hub like Tököl, the handling agent can confirm what customs will accept before you order.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“My order at Tököl Airport covered a mezze selection with flatbreads for 5 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of different crew meal preferences. For crew meals, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls suggested individual containers for the starters, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the breakfast portions to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Andre F. | Government flight manager

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Food presentation mattered to our 12 guests, but a tight boarding window also had to be considered when organising yoghurt pots and fresh berries at LHTL. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the FBO catering arrangements. The snack boxes supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. We could distinguish the breakfast portions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Nikita X. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“One detail shaped our order at Tököl Airport: a revised passenger count, alongside a request for vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 9 passengers. I needed the fruit plates checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The note about the canapés was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. The cabin service sequence stood out more than any sales pitch about airport catering.”

Tököl in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation flight out of Tököl?+

Delegations flying from Tököl often ask for a Hungarian table: paprikash, stuffed cabbage, cheese board, strudel. That table costs more than a sandwich order. Tell us how many seats and which dietary needs, and the quote comes back itemised.

What is the lead time for a kosher or halal meal at Tököl?+

What makes a special-meal order at Tököl simple is that the airport is quiet and the FBO apron is small, so there is rarely a competing slot. Send the restriction early if you can; if not, last-minute orders are still handled.

How do customs affect crew waiting on the ground at Tököl?+

Crew waiting at Tököl during duty time need food that does not depend on a restaurant opening. Customs at the terminal check what comes in from non-EU origins, so we supply local cooked food on the ground rather than asking crews to carry it. Pilot meals travel in sealed boxes.

Can you bring food on board for a short turnaround at LHTL?+

Bringing food into Hungary from outside the EU runs into customs rules on meat and dairy. For a short turnaround at LHTL it is simpler to have the meal ready at the aircraft than to clear a bag. We deliver to the FBO on the slot you give us.

Is catering part of a charter into Tököl, and can local produce go on the menu?+

Food is a separate order from a private jet charter to LHTL. Choose one Hungarian specialty, paprikash or goose liver for example, and the rest of the tray is built to match, ordered and billed on its own.
