Catering to your aircraft in Genova (GE).

A single runway on reclaimed land, the Ligurian coast on one side and the hills on the other: this is the airfield where corporate flights reach the Riviera. Our crew-led kitchen packs Ligurian menus for the galley and delivers them at the FBO.

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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Genova (GE)

Liguria cooks with what grows on its terraces and swims in its bay, and that is the private jet menu we build for Genoa. Basil from the hills behind the city turns into pesto genovese, packed apart so it stays green until the moment you plate. Trofie, the short twisted pasta, travels as a hot dish with the sauce on the side; focaccia genovese comes out as a cold platter for the cabin.

Local specialities on an inflight menu from Genoa lean on the sea: stuffed anchovies, fried calamari, octopus salad, branzino baked in salt. Farinata, the chickpea flatbread, is best eaten warm, so we label it for the oven. Pansoti with walnut sauce and torta pasqualina cover the vegetarian side of the private jet food list.

For Liguria in general, olive oil from Taggiasca olives, pine nuts and lemons from the Riviera go into the dressings and the sweets. Canestrelli biscuits and pandolce close the table. Ask for a Ligurian white such as Vermentino to go alongside; the menu is built with your crew's galley in mind, not the other way around.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (LIMJ)

Genoa Cristoforo Colombo sits on a strip of reclaimed land beside the sea, with the port cranes right behind the apron, and a single runway that lines up along the Ligurian shore. Private jet catering here follows what the coast gives the galley: basil for the pesto, anchovies, focaccia, citrus in winter. Our inflight catering is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, so in-flight catering for LIMJ arrives marked by seat, with the sauce apart and the cold plates ready to re-plate. Aviation catering for business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering runs the same way, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport

A typical business jet at Genoa is a midsize or light aircraft with a compact galley, flying owners and executives to the Riviera. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here means a clean cold lunch and one or two hot dishes: VIP flight catering for the owner, charter flight catering for the guests, luxury inflight catering for the long weekend. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft and the local market.

Head of state and government inflight catering at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA)

State visit aircraft catering into Genoa starts with the protocol team, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow a menu agreed before anything is cooked; VIP aviation catering is kept discreet, traceable and labelled for the delegation.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (LIMJ)

Genoese cooking is full of places where an allergen hides: pine nuts and walnuts in the pesto and in the pansoti sauce, anchovies in the dressings, flour in the farinata. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals, we work from the guest card, build a separate board and a separate box, and mark each tray by seat number. Special meals for Liguria are planned around the local dishes you will actually want to serve.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA)

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport

At the general aviation terminal, the FBO and the handling agent are the people who open the door. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are agreed with them in advance; ground handling catering follows airside rules, and handling agent catering stays under one named contact for the handover.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport

Larger business aircraft arriving at Genoa are loaded by high loader, and the galley catering follows the aircraft type: door height, trolley sizes, what fits in the carts. We plan airside catering delivery with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is packed to match the galley on board. If the aircraft is a long-range jet or a large cabin, tell us the type and we adapt the load.

About the airportLIMJ / GOA

Airport catering at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (LIMJ)

Cristoforo Colombo airport, on the edge of the port of Genoa, serves the Riviera and the northwest of Italy. Airport catering here is planned for general aviation arrivals, with food delivered to the aircraft.

Business aviation

Genoa is a quiet business aviation hub for the Riviera, with traffic peaking in summer and around boat shows. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are packed for light and midsize jets; business aviation catering and executive jet catering are tailored to the galley. Diplomatic flight catering is handled with protocol, and cabin crew meals can be added to any order. FBO services and ground handling services stay with your agent, and general aviation arrives at its own terminal.

Customs & food import

Customs and food-import rules in Italy follow the EU: meat, dairy and fish from outside the union are controlled, so the practical answer is to order the food at Genoa and let the handling agent take it airside.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Nothing about the 12 guest order at LIMJ called for excess complexity: just chicken skewers with a couscous salad and sensible planning for an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the salads readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the sandwiches properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. The order made inflight catering services feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand.”

Gabrielle Q. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“For 5 passengers departing from GOA, the agreed menu was a mezze selection with flatbreads; our main consideration was two separate meal services. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the crew provisions and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. I want an inflight catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Knowing where the salads were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

Mei P. | Chief cabin officer

BBJ

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“An order of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 8 people at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport had to be organised around limited fridge space. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the snack boxes, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. I found the side dishes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

The Genoa Cristoforo Colombo questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo?+

The answer begins with the cabin: a turboprop and a long-range jet at Genova do not need the same trays. We price per menu once we know the galley, the number of guests and whether pesto, fish or something more elaborate is on the card.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Genoa?+

The lead time question usually comes from a special-meal request. Kosher, halal, vegan, allergen free: each needs its own preparation and its own box. We confirm what can be done on your slot and handle last-minute orders.

What about customs for inflight catering at Genoa?+

For customs, we work with your handling agent. Airside access and checks belong to the agent; our part is a labelled, traceable order that arrives at the right gate.

Can you bring food on a private jet into Italy?+

Customs and food-import rules in Italy limit meat, dairy and some fresh produce from outside the EU. Rather than carry items through the terminal, order your catering at Genoa and have it handed over at the aircraft.

Is catering part of a charter into Genoa?+

A charter into Genoa does not carry catering with it. Order it separately; it is invoiced on its own. For official delegations, we work with named contacts and confirm each tray.
