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 Ghedi (BS)

The Brescia plain around Ghedi grows rice and corn and grazes dairy herds, so a private jet menu for LIPL in Lombardy reads like northern Italian home cooking made precise. Polenta with braised beef holds heat well in a sealed container; risotto with saffron is cooked al dente and finished in your oven. Local specialities here also include spiedo bresciano, the slow-roasted mixed meats, which we pack as sliced hot plates.

The cold course is Grana Padano, Provolone Valpadana and bresaola on private jet platters, with fresh fruit and focaccia. Gourmet inflight meals work best in Lombardy when they are built from cheese, cured meat and pasta that need only plating. Private jet snacks run to torrone, amaretti, grissini and olives. The inflight menu changes with the season, and private jet food at Ghedi Air Base is ordered around the base's access rules, with the handover arranged through the FBO or handling agent.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ghedi Air Base (LIPL)

Ghedi is a military airfield in the Brescia plain, so a business jet arriving at LIPL is a guest on someone else's apron, with access, slots and handover agreed in advance. Private jet catering here is built around that: dishes cooked for your galley and handed over at the aircraft through your FBO or handling agent. Inflight catering for Ghedi leans on Lombardy produce, and in-flight catering is packed to survive a controlled-access field. Aviation catering for a military base needs names and registrations up front. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same route, and cabin crew meals ride in the same order.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Ghedi (BS) for business and VIP flights (LIPL)

Most business jet flights at Ghedi Air Base arrive on a defined brief: a company or charter client, a known tail, a short list of names for base access. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering for LIPL are planned around that brief. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same route, and luxury inflight catering uses what Lombardy offers in season. Your private jet chef builds a bespoke menu from risotto, aged cheese and cured meats, packed for the galley you have.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Ghedi Air Base (LIPL)

Ghedi is a military airfield, which makes government flight catering a natural fit for state aircraft. Head of state flight catering at LIPL follows protocol: names cleared in advance, a named team, sealed dishes. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering stay discreet, with traceability for every tray and no names on the labels.

Special meals

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Ghedi Air Base

Lombardy cooking leans on butter, rice, cheese and cured meat, so the allergen question at Ghedi Air Base is mostly dairy and gluten. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are special meals we cook in a separate step, packed apart from the other trays and marked by seat number, with the base's access rules in mind at handover.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Ghedi Air Base

The crew at Ghedi may wait on the apron, so crew meals are packed for that wait. Flight crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced with the rest; pilot meals arrive in separate boxes, and crew catering never mixes with the guest trays. Cockpit meals are easy to eat, crew meal boxes are marked CREW, and different meals for pilots are packed apart so captain and first officer need not share a dish.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Ghedi Air Base

FBO catering at Ghedi Air Base starts with the handover: the order reaches the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent, because the base controls access. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged ahead; the general aviation terminal, where one exists, is the usual point. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are the same thing here: one contact for the apron.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Ghedi Air Base (LIPL)

Ghedi Air Base takes everything from light jets to wide-bodies, and the aircraft decides how we load: a small door with the galley beside it takes boxes by hand, a larger type may need a high loader. Galley catering for LIPL is packed to the aircraft's galley and delivered airside through your handling agent. Airside catering delivery here is arranged ahead because it is a controlled field, and aircraft provisioning follows the same agreed route.

About the airportLIPL

Airport catering at Ghedi Air Base (LIPL)

Ghedi Air Base is an Italian air force field in the Brescia plain, Lombardy, at about 333 feet. For business aviation it is no hub in the usual sense, more a business aviation hub only by arrangement, used when the destination sits on the military side. Airport catering at LIPL is planned like a protocol delivery, with names and tail agreed before anything is cooked.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Ghedi is occasional and arranged, never a walk-in business aviation hub. General aviation here depends on permission from the base. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for such a visit follow an agreed route; aviation catering and business aviation catering are written around names and tails. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering, cabin crew meals and crew meals complete the order, all through the FBO or handling agent. FBO services and ground handling services are the single door.

Customs & food import

Italian customs follow EU rules: food moves freely inside the EU, while meat, dairy and fruit arriving from or leaving for other countries are limited. Ghedi is not a business aviation hub with a customs hall of its own, and the base adds its own access check on top. We ask for the route before cooking, so the menu stays compliant.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Rather than an elaborate service at Ghedi Air Base, our 2 guests wanted chicken skewers with a couscous salad, organised sensibly around a changing departure schedule. I needed the canapés checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The note about the main courses was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. I would discuss jet catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination.”

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“Small packing details became important at LIPL: our 10 passengers wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, and we had two separate meal services. I asked The Galley Girls to review the starters quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The order made VIP flight catering feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand. There was enough information about the snack boxes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Choosing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 7 people at Ghedi Air Base was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a small galley worktop. With charter flight catering, careful attention to final order confirmation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sandwiches, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the breakfast portions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Ghedi (BS) in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Ghedi when the menu carries a local product like Grana Padano?+

Ask us for the menu first, the figure second. At Ghedi, one aged Grana Padano board can cost less than a single hot dish, so a quote is written from your selection, not from a tariff sheet.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Ghedi if the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Short notice at Ghedi works because the menu is simple: Grana Padano, cured meats, risotto. A change of headcount means a few more portions, not a new menu. What matters is that your handling agent has the final number for the base.

Customs: what happens to the catering if the return leg is ordered from Ghedi for the way back?+

Ordering the way back from Ghedi means the second set of meals is kept chilled in the galley. Customs rules for cheese and cured meat depend on the next country, so we plan that leg first, then cook.

Can you bring food of your own on board at Ghedi, given the departure slot and the length of the turnaround?+

Personal food is your choice. For a long turnaround it works; for a short one, an order placed with us is easier at a base with controlled access, because it arrives at the aircraft through the usual route.

Is catering part of a charter into Ghedi when the leg is long and two services are needed on board?+

No. Even on a long private jet charter, food is ordered and billed on its own. From Ghedi Air Base we pack two services, one to be finished in the oven and one to stay cold, and mark both for the cabin crew.
