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

The Bari table, packed for private jet catering

Apulia eats simply and well, and almost everything on a Bari private jet menu starts as a regional product. Orecchiette with turnip tops is the signature, burrata from the Murge arrives chilled, and raw red prawns and sea urchin come from the Adriatic when the sea allows. A private jet menu for Bari balances those with dishes that survive a galley: focaccia barese, taralli, almonds, cherry tomatoes and Ostuni-style olive oil. Our inflight menu keeps each local speciality in the form it travels best, and the private jet food list below shows what is packed cold, what goes in the oven and what stays apart. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all drawn from Apulia's local specialities, and the region's own wines and almonds finish the tray.

Apulia, and Bari above all, cooks from the ground and the sea. For a private jet menu at LIBD we start with burrata and stracciatella, pick orecchiette or cavatelli that reheat cleanly, and add raw Adriatic seafood only when it can ride chilled. Sweet Apulian almonds, figs and taralli become private jet snacks, while platters of cured meats and cheeses cover long cabins. Local specialities from Apulia are described to the crew the way they sit in the drawer: which ones need the oven, which want a sauce on the side, which stay cold until the plate is built. That makes each inflight menu from Bari practical for a flight attendant first. Private jet platters and gourmet inflight meals follow the season, and private jet food in summer leans on tomatoes, figs and seafood.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport (LIBD)

Apulian summers fill the apron at Bari Karol Wojtyła International with business jets heading for the Valle d'Itria and the Salento coast, and that rhythm sets the menu. Private jet catering at LIBD leans on burrata, raw red prawns, tomatoes and good olive oil, packed so a galley with no real kitchen can finish it. The same plan covers inflight catering for the cabin and aviation catering for the crew, with executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering handled by the same team. Cabin crew meals are boxed apart from the guest service.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport (BRI)

A typical business jet brief at Bari is a short cabin with four to eight guests, bound for Puglia's coast or the Valle d'Itria. Business jet catering here is a mix of cold starters and one hot course, and corporate jet catering follows the same pattern. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering at LIBD often add a bespoke menu written with a private jet chef, and luxury inflight catering stays light, built around seafood, burrata and fruit.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport

Apulian cooking hides allergens in ordinary places: almonds in sweets, anchovy in turnip-top sauces, cheese on nearly everything. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests, special meals at Bari are cooked on separate boards with sealed containers and a seat number on each. Kids meals follow the same procedure, so a plain pasta never meets a nut by accident.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport (BRI): delivery to your aircraft

At Bari, FBO catering is handed over at the aircraft with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO or to the general aviation terminal is arranged around your slot, and ground handling catering follows airside access rules. Handling agent catering means one contact for the pass, the door and the stairs.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport (BRI)

On the Bari apron, the type of aircraft sets how each tray gets up the stairs and into the galley. A light jet takes a few trays by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader for galley catering, and airside catering delivery is arranged around the door and the stairs. Aircraft provisioning is planned with your handling agent against the galley the aircraft really has: ovens, drawers and chiller space.

About the airportLIBD / BRI

General aviation and airport catering at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport (BRI)

Bari Karol Wojtyła International serves the Apulian capital and is the main gateway for business aviation in the region. Airport catering here supports a mix of private jets and charters, with the apron and general aviation terminal handling the executive traffic.

Business aviation

Business aviation to Bari peaks in summer, when guests head for Puglia's countryside and coast. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered for both outbound and return legs, aviation catering for the crew, and business aviation catering for the corporate cabin. Executive jet catering suits small charters, diplomatic flight catering covers official visits, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart. It is a growing business aviation hub for the south of Italy, with general aviation and FBO services close at hand and ground handling services on request.

Customs & food import

Italy follows EU food rules, so meat, dairy and some fresh products from outside the EU may be restricted on arrival. Food prepared locally in Apulia avoids that issue. For leftover food leaving Italy, check the rules of your destination.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“A request for roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, 8 passengers, and a small galley worktop: that was our brief for the departure at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the crew meals arrangements. After a final adjustment to the main courses, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the starters quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Pierre I. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Working around several individual meal preferences at LIBD, I asked for avocado toast components and breakfast fruit in portions appropriate for our 5 passengers. My main takeaway from this FBO catering order was the practical approach to catering handover. I asked The Galley Girls to review the canapés quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the side dishes before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Service planning came first at BRI, with 5 passengers choosing roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and a small galley worktop influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls grouped the desserts by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. We left the side dishes stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. This experience of airport catering gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure.”

What crews ask before BariAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when the aircraft repositions empty to Bari?+

If the aircraft arrives empty, how much does private jet catering cost? Very little, since there are no guests to feed. A cold crew lunch and water is a small order, while a guest tasting menu for the return leg is priced separately by dish.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Bari, given the aircraft type and galley?+

At LIBD the aircraft sets the pace of the order more than the calendar. A big galley allows a full hot service; a small one wants things pre-plated and cold. Whichever it is, last-minute requests are still processed.

Do customs rules at Bari change a special-meal request such as kosher or halal?+

Customs matter when food comes in with the passengers, not when we deliver it. A sealed kosher or halal meal made in Apulia is just local catering. Check any leftover food you plan to carry out of Italy against destination rules.

Can you bring food to the aircraft yourself at Bari, or does the handling agent need to be involved?+

Our team works with the agent so a delivery gets airside with the right passes. Bringing food in yourself is fine as long as it follows customs rules; most crews prefer to leave it to us so nothing is held back at the door.

Is catering part of a charter into Bari, given Italy's food-import rules?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: it is ordered on its own and invoiced on its own, whatever the aircraft. Tell us the tail, the slot and the headcount and the order follows. Food arriving from abroad has to clear Italian customs, so Apulian products are the easier route.
