Catering to your aircraft in Sauðárkrókur.
A northern Iceland field with lamb country behind it: that is the starting point for every galley we pack for Sauðárkrókur, handed to the aircraft 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.

The Northwestern Region around Sauðárkrókur lives off grass, sea and fjord. Skagafjörður is lamb country: the animals graze highland pasture in summer, and the meat is lean, fine-grained and mild. For a private jet menu we pack it as roast saddle or slow-cooked shoulder, with the sauce in its own pot. Arctic char and fresh cod come from nearby waters and make a clean inflight menu option served chilled or finished in the galley oven. Skyr, the thick Icelandic cultured dairy, turns up in desserts and breakfast cups; rye bread baked in the traditional way is a staple on any private jet food order here. These local specialities are our starting point for private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, with Sauðárkrókur and the wider Northwestern Region shaping every menu.
Order private jet food for Sauðárkrókur and you start from the Northwestern Region's short list of strong products: Skagafjörður lamb, Arctic char, cod, skyr, butter, rye bread and wild berries when the season allows. Our private jet menu translates them for a galley: lamb carved and plated cold or sent for the oven, char poached and chilled, skyr served in cups. The inflight menu changes with the catch and the pasture, and local specialities are labelled so a flight attendant knows what finishes where. Platters, gourmet inflight meals and snacks all draw on this region.

Sauðárkrókur sits on the shore of Skagafjörður, a fjord valley known for horse breeding and lamb, and its small airfield at 8 ft of elevation sees business aviation mostly in the bright summer months. Private jet catering here leans on what the northwest produces: lamb, Arctic char, skyr and rye bread. Inflight catering for a cabin of two to eight is boxed for a light galley. Aviation catering and business aviation catering arrive at the FBO or your handling agent. We also supply executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals on request.
Guests landing at BIKR often come for salmon rivers, horse farms or a northern road trip, so business jet catering is planned around a single meal and a snack. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu for VIP flight catering, corporate jet catering, charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering, adjusted to the galley you have.
When an official flight uses SAK, government flight catering is cleared by the protocol office and cooked by a small team. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering keep the same sealed, labelled handover at the aircraft.
At Sauðárkrókur the dietary question is mostly a question of what the region offers: fish and lamb are abundant, fresh vegetables are not, so vegan and vegetarian plates are built around barley, root vegetables, rye bread and skyr alternatives we source ahead. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed with their own board and label. Gluten free, allergen free and kids meals follow the same procedure as everywhere: a separate prep area, seat-number labels on every box, and special meals marked so the cabin crew serve the right 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.
A crew waiting at BIKR through a long duty day wants something warm: we pack crew meals as hot or cold boxes on request, billed as part of the order. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are kept simple, flight crew meals can be lamb soup or char, and crew catering for cabin crew meals is boxed apart. Crew meal boxes carry labels, and different meals for pilots are standard.
FBO catering at Sauðárkrókur is handed over at the general aviation terminal or on the apron. We arrange catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the same route. Handling agent catering is simple at a small field: one point of contact, one handover.
Sauðárkrókur Airport handles business jets and turboprops, so galley catering normally comes out on a hand cart or a small van rather than a high loader. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent at the FBO, who meets the aircraft on the apron. Aircraft provisioning for a larger type is checked against door height and galley layout before we pack, so nothing arrives that the aircraft cannot take.

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

Sauðárkrókur Airport serves the Northwestern Region of Iceland with scheduled domestic flights and occasional business aviation. Airport catering here is arranged around a modest terminal and a short apron, with general aviation guests met by the handling agent.
Business aviation hub is too grand a phrase for Sauðárkrókur, but private traffic arrives for fishing, horse tourism and northern tours. FBO services and ground handling services are limited, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered ahead. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same order, diplomatic flight catering is rare, and cabin crew meals are on request.
Iceland controls the import of raw meat, dairy and eggs, and customs may inspect the cabin of an arriving private aircraft. Ordering in country avoids the issue, and any uneaten animal products should stay sealed on board.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“We kept the passenger brief simple at BIKR: a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 9 guests, organised with a late menu amendment in mind. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the main courses had been grouped. I want an inflight catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The desserts went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“On this departure from SAK, 12 passengers had chosen roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, and several individual meal preferences needed to be reflected in the order. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience. The Galley Girls suggested clearly marked packs for the snack boxes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the sandwiches to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
“Small packing details became important at Sauðárkrókur Airport: our 4 passengers wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and we had different crew meal preferences. The order made in-flight catering services feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand. I asked The Galley Girls for the fruit plates in compact food 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.”
The cost for an official flight into SAK follows the choices you make: a plated four-course dinner, a cold working lunch or mixed boxes. Arctic char in summer is priced differently from winter cod, and diplomatic flight catering adds named staff and traceability. A written quote is sent with the order.
Short repositioning legs into northern Iceland often fly with only the pilots aboard. We pack crew meals in labelled boxes and arrange handover at the aircraft. The order is simple here because lamb and fish are sourced nearby, and last-minute requests are handled.
A return order from SAK carries local lamb, fish and skyr. On landing, most countries restrict animal products, so any leftovers stay sealed on board. We label allergens and origin so inspectors and crew can see what is in each box.
You can bring some packaged food, but Iceland has strict food-import rules, especially for meat, dairy and fresh items. Customs at the airport may inspect the cabin. Ordering private jet catering locally for BIKR is usually the simplest answer.
No: food sits on its own invoice. If the pilots are waiting out their duty time at Sauðárkrókur, we can pack a hot meal or a cold box and hand it over wherever the handling agent directs.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
