Private jet catering at Milano Linate Airport (LIML / LIN), Segrate (MI)

Catering to your aircraft in Segrate (MI).

Linate is a city airport with a short runway and a tight slot grid, so the Fashion Week and Salone del Mobile weeks decide how much time the aircraft gives you on the ground. We cook for the galley you actually have and hand it over at the aircraft.

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

Regional dishes of Segrate (MI) for jet catering at LIN

Lombardy cooks with rice, butter, veal and cheese, and each of those behaves differently once it is in a galley. Risotto alla milanese is a case in point: saffron rice does not like waiting, so on a Linate departure we pack it par-cooked with the stock in its own pot, to be finished in the galley oven in a few minutes. Cotoletta alla milanese, bone-in veal fried in clarified butter, travels better when it is cut by passenger and layered with paper, not stacked.

A private jet menu from Milan can also lean on the cold side of the region: vitello tonnato, bresaola with rocket, gorgonzola and taleggio with mostarda, and in winter panettone and torrone from the Lombard pastry houses. For an inflight menu in autumn, the Lombard kitchen adds mushroom risotto and pumpkin tortelli. Local specialities like these suit private jet food because most of them are made to be served warm rather than hot, and sit well in a drawer.

Business jet catering at Milano Linate Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Linate is mostly a weekday story: a corporate jet catering order for four or six people heading to Zurich, Paris or London, often a morning departure with a breakfast brief. VIP flight catering during Milan Fashion Week and the Salone del Mobile is the busy end, with charter flight catering requests arriving the evening before. Most aircraft here are light and midsize, so a luxury inflight catering order is built from cold plates that sit in the drawer and one hot dish that needs only the oven. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around that limit: vitello tonnato, a risotto packed with the broth separate, panettone in December.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Milano Linate Airport

Government flight catering at Linate is rare but not unknown: ministers, delegations and foreign officials use the airport for Milan business because it is practically in the city. Head of state flight catering follows protocol: the menu is cleared in advance, labels carry seat numbers rather than names, and the same named team handles the order from start to finish. VIP aviation catering for state visit aircraft catering stays discreet. Tell us the aircraft type and the handling agent, and we plan around the security screening at the general aviation terminal.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Milano Linate Airport

Special meals at Linate are built from the local kitchen, which is butter, cream and wheat heavy, so allergen free work starts with where the butter and the flour hide: in the risotto, the cotoletta crust, the sauce. Vegan, gluten free, kosher, halal and kids meals each go in their own box, labelled by seat. We plan these against the Lombard menu, not around it.

A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Milano Linate Airport

Crew meals at Linate are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Rotations here are mostly short hops and quick turns, so flight crew meals are packed for the jumpseat or the front: a cold piadina, a pasta box, fruit, nothing that needs two hands. Pilot meals follow the operator's policy, and when it asks for different meals for pilots, the captain and first officer each get a separate dish, marked by seat. Crew catering, cockpit meals and crew meal boxes all carry a CREW label, so none of them ends up in the guest drawer.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Milano Linate Airport

FBO catering at Linate means delivery to the general aviation terminal, which sits apart from the main passenger building. We coordinate catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent so that the van clears security and reaches the apron at the time of your slot. Ground handling catering is handed over at the aircraft: tell your handling agent which door and in what order the trays go in, and handling agent catering follows the same plan.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Milano Linate Airport (LIML)

Aircraft provisioning at Linate is mostly light and midsize jets with a low door, so airside catering delivery is by hand or small trolley rather than a high loader. For a larger aircraft, tell us the type and we plan galley catering around the door height and the galley layout: chilled items to the front, hot items last, crew meals marked and separated.

About the airportLIML / LIN

About Milano Linate Airport (LIN): airport catering for business aviation

Milano Linate is Milan's city airport, sitting in the Segrate municipality right against the eastern edge of the city, with one main runway and a dedicated terminal for general aviation. It is the field where light and midsize jets line up their morning departures to Zurich, Paris and London. Airport catering here has to fit narrow slots and a compact apron, so the order is built around the aircraft type and the door you will actually use.

Business aviation

Linate is a business aviation hub for fashion, design and finance, and the calendar drives everything. Fashion Week and the Salone del Mobile fill the apron, and the aircraft arrive early and leave late. Aviation catering for these weeks runs on a different clock: inflight catering is ordered the day before, executive jet catering requests are for four to six guests, and cabin crew meals are planned with the hotel stay. General aviation here means light jets, so the portions are right-sized. FBO services and ground handling services are offered at the dedicated terminal.

Customs & food import

Italy is in the EU and Schengen, so intra-EU flights have no food customs. Arrivals from outside the EU fall under EU rules on meat and dairy products of animal origin, which limits what can be carried in from third countries. Catering loaded in Milan for an outbound flight is not an issue, but leftover meat and dairy from a non-EU leg is typically disposed of. Order your catering locally and plan around this.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER
“Menu approval at LIN covered grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 9 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a family lunch request. With private jet menu, careful attention to final order confirmation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of breakfast portions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the sauces before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Between cabin checks at Milano Linate Airport, I coordinated a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 3 guests and explained our concerns about a tight boarding window. I want a private jet chef to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the breakfast portions to be packed accordingly. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
Sofia X. | Royal family manager

★★★★★CHARTER
“The 3 passenger portions of a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides were the easy part; managing different crew meal preferences at LIML took more planning. The side dishes came from The Galley Girls in separate meal boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the salads from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. For in flight catering, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

The Milano Linate questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Milan Linate?+

Start from the customs side: because food of animal origin from outside the EU cannot freely enter, the Linate order is sourced in Italy. That keeps freight out of the price. What moves it is the dish itself: veal and saffron rice sit higher than a bresaola plate, and a quote is written once we know the aircraft and the headcount.

What is the lead time for catering at Linate?+

A government or delegation flight is the one we ask to plan earliest: ten hours before departure where possible, with the handling agent informed and the menu cleared with the protocol side. Last-minute requests do get handled, and we adapt the menu to what the kitchen can still prepare for that departure.

How do customs affect catering at Linate?+

For a night departure or an early morning slot, the van still has to clear the airport gate, so we agree the hour and the door with your handling agent before the kitchen starts. Customs concerns are about what comes in from outside the EU, not what is loaded in Milan.

Can you bring food on board at Linate?+

You can, but one local product is worth ordering from us anyway: a saffron risotto, packed with its broth apart. Carrying in meat or dairy from outside the EU is restricted, so locally sourced food is the safer route.

Is catering part of a charter at Milan Linate?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced separately, like any order. When the party grows from four to six on the morning of the flight, the catering order changes with it, and the invoice follows the final count.
