Catering to your aircraft in Lamezia Terme (CZ).
Sant'Eufemia is the busiest door into Calabria, with summer charters arriving for the coast and the Aeolian crossings. We cook for the aircraft you fly, whether a light jet with one oven or a larger cabin, and hand it to the crew at the FBO.
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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Calabria's table is built on strong, simple produce, and a private jet menu from Lamezia Terme (CZ) can draw on all of it. The Tropea red onion is the signature: sweet enough to eat raw, it goes into cold salads and onion jam for the inflight menu. Bergamot from the Ionian coast flavours desserts and a citrus finish on fish. 'Nduja, the spreadable spicy pork, is the loudest local speciality, and it needs to be handled as a sauce apart so it never overwhelms a delicate plate.
Private jet food from Calabria rewards a crew that likes to plate: swordfish from the Strait waters, grilled or rolled, is the classic hot item, while caciocavallo and soppressata make private jet platters that travel well and need no heating. Gourmet inflight meals can pair these with fileja pasta, a hand-rolled local shape that holds a ragù. Private jet snacks lean on dried figs, almonds and Tropea onion crisps, all local specialities that keep in a galley drawer.
For a Lamezia Terme (CZ) order, we think of Calabria as three plates: cold antipasti of cured meat and cheese, a hot fish or pasta main, and a bergamot dessert. Each is packed so the galley you have can finish it: the pasta in its tray for the oven, the sauce in its own pot, the dessert chilled for re-plating. Our private jet menu for Calabria changes with the season, never with a fixed script.

Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Summer in Calabria means beach-hopping charters and late departures from LICA, and that shapes every private jet catering order we pack here. Cold plates of local cheese and cured meat travel well; pasta and swordfish need an oven and a sauce pot kept apart. We supply inflight catering and in-flight catering for crews flying out of SUF, covering aviation catering and business aviation catering for owners and operators. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all written for the aircraft's real galley, not a generic one.
A typical business jet catering brief at Lamezia Terme is a short coastal sector with a small party: a corporate jet catering order for four, a VIP flight catering request for owners going to Tropea, or a charter flight catering tray for a late sector. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around Calabrian produce, packed for the galley of your type.
When a ministerial or state party transits Lamezia Terme, government flight catering is coordinated with the handling agent and the protocol office. Head of state flight catering is prepared with traceable produce, VIP aviation catering uses unmarked packaging, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered airside by a named team.
Special meals at Sant'Eufemia are a matter of procedure rather than promise. Calabrian kitchens lean heavily on pork, 'nduja and wheat pasta, so kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are built from scratch in a separate preparation, never adapted from a standard dish. Allergen free orders and kids meals are handled the same way: we ask about nuts in the almond desserts and fish stock in the pasta sauces up front, label every tray by seat number, and keep each special meal sealed apart from the guest trays.
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.
Pilots and cabin crew at Sant'Eufemia often wait between sectors, so crew meals here matter. Flight crew meals and crew catering are ordered on request and charged like any other dish. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are boxed and easy to eat during a stop, crew meal boxes are labelled, and different meals for pilots are prepared separately when the operator's policy requires it.
Catering delivery to the FBO at LICA goes through the general aviation terminal: the handling agent signs for it and brings it to the aircraft. FBO catering is labelled by seat and by dish, ground handling catering follows the slot, and handling agent catering for crews is kept in its own box.
Most traffic at LICA is small and mid-size business jets, so catering usually goes up in boxes by hand or on a small cart. When a larger aircraft or a VIP transport arrives, the type decides the loading: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and what the galley can hold. Galley catering for those aircraft is planned around airside catering delivery at the apron, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed with your handling agent before the slot, so ovens, trolleys and chillers on board match what we pack.

Sant'Eufemia serves the whole of Calabria, from the Tyrrhenian beaches to the Sila mountains. Airport catering for private flights is arranged with the general aviation operations, and the field's uncomplicated layout keeps orders easy to place.
Business aviation at LICA peaks in summer, when general aviation arrivals rise with beach and yacht traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders are mostly light cold courses; aviation catering and business aviation catering requests grow in August. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all covered, and FBO services and ground handling services are the usual route in. It is a business aviation hub for the south of Italy.
Italy applies EU food rules, so catering moves freely within Europe but meat, dairy and fresh produce can be restricted on flights leaving for a non-EU country. We check your next destination and pack accordingly, so the order matches what customs will accept.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Getting a cheese board and savoury canapés ready for 8 guests at LICA required an order that accounted for several individual meal preferences. The order made business aviation catering feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls kept the breakfast portions separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“Passenger preferences led us to vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection at SUF; 5 portions were needed, with a family lunch request factored into preparation. For jet catering, that attention to meal organisation made the order noticeably easier to manage. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates into separate meal boxes that were easy to handle. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Despite a small galley worktop, we wanted the 3 guests at Lamezia Terme Sant'Eufemia International Airport to enjoy a cold lunch with cheese and fruit without a complicated cabin service. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the starters had been grouped. The cabin team could match the sauces to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. My main takeaway from this VIP flight catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation.”
Cost here follows the departure slot more than anything. A morning slot with a long turnaround can carry a full Calabrian lunch; a rushed evening one is better with cold boards. Swordfish, bergamot desserts and special diets sit higher in the quote than onion salads and almonds. How much does private jet catering cost at SUF? It starts from your slot.
What makes an order easy at LICA is a clear brief: how many services, which dishes, which galley. A long leg needing two meals means two sets of trays with labels. Last-minute orders are handled here, and we simply adjust the menu to what is available that day.
Customs for private jet catering at SUF is a question of destination. Calabria's soppressata and caciocavallo are excellent but not always allowed past some borders. Because the season and weather here can move a departure to another day or another airport, we confirm the next landing before choosing cured meats.
Crew duty time at Lamezia often means waiting between legs, and a proper meal beats a snack from a bag. You are free to bring food, but we recommend letting us pack the crew meals and the guest trays so everything is labelled, kept cold and checked against allergens.
A private jet charter into Lamezia Terme does not include catering. Whether the flight is full or a quick empty repositioning, you order food separately from us, and it appears on its own invoice. Crew meals can still be added to an empty-cabin flight.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
