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

The Pomezia (RM) table, packed for private jet catering

Lazio cooks the way Rome does: few ingredients, handled well. A private jet menu for Pratica di Mare leans on that, because Roman dishes travel better than their reputation suggests. Cacio e pepe is built to be re-plated, with the sauce in its own pot and the pasta cooled flat. Supplì, the fried rice croquette of the region, goes in the oven and out crisp. Carciofi alla romana, in season, travel cold and are served at room temperature, as they should be. Porchetta from the hills toward Ariccia slices cold for a platter. These are local specialities, written into the inflight menu with a service note each. Pomezia and the Lazio coast add fresh mozzarella di bufala and ricotta, which stay chilled and go on private jet platters. Private jet food from this region is simple to hold, simple to finish, and recognisable to passengers who know Italy. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, from pizza bianca to Roman biscuits, complete the table.

If you want one region to build a private jet menu around, Lazio is easy. Pratica di Mare sits in Roman country, and the inflight menu follows: saltimbocca, thin veal with sage and prosciutto, finished in the oven; gricia and amatriciana, where the sauce travels apart from the pasta; fried courgette flowers for the first course, served warm from the oven. Cold, there is porchetta, fresh mozzarella di bufala, prosciutto and melon in summer, and Roman Jewish-style artichokes in spring. Local specialities of Lazio are not delicate, which suits a galley. Private jet platters assembled from these products look generous and cost little in handling. Gourmet inflight meals can be a plated main with the garnish packed separately. Private jet snacks are pizza bianca, taralli and small pastries. Private jet food from Lazio is built so a crew can finish it at the galley counter, without a chef on board.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Pratica di Mare Air Base (LIRE)

Pratica di Mare is an Italian Air Force base on the Lazio coast, and flights that land there arrive with protocol already attached. Private jet catering here is planned around that: a menu agreed in advance, a galley checked against the aircraft type, and a handover at the aircraft through your handling agent. Inflight catering for business aviation, executive jet catering for small delegations and diplomatic flight catering for state movements all follow the same order, and the cabin crew meals ride in the same delivery as the guest trays. We are former VIP flight attendants, so we pack for the drawer, the oven and the jumpseat you actually have.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Pratica di Mare Air Base (LIRE)

Business jet catering at Pratica di Mare serves small delegations and visiting executives, usually arriving on a light or midsize jet with a modest galley. Corporate jet catering here comes down to three facts: the tail, the slot, the covers. For a charter flight, charter flight catering is written the same way, and VIP flight catering can bring in a private jet chef who builds a bespoke menu around Roman dishes. Luxury inflight catering stays easy to finish in the galley: sauce apart, trays labelled by seat, and inflight catering and in-flight catering for the return leg ordered alongside the outbound.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Pratica di Mare Air Base (LIRE)

When a state aircraft lands at LIRE, the catering is a matter for the protocol office, not the kitchen. We provide government flight catering for officials and head of state flight catering for senior delegations, always cleared in advance and traced. VIP aviation catering stays discreet, and state visit aircraft catering is handed over at the aircraft with seat numbers only.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Pratica di Mare Air Base

At Pratica di Mare the allergens hide in the Roman classics: pecorino and egg in the pasta sauces, breadcrumbs in the fried starters, nuts in the pastries. Special meals are therefore handled as a procedure in the kitchen, not a note on a label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked separately, packed in their own box and marked with the seat number. Kids meals are written the same way, simple and recognisable. Tell us the restriction with the order and we adapt the local menu rather than replace it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Pratica di Mare Air Base

FBO catering at Pratica di Mare is handed over at the aircraft through your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the base access rules, and the general aviation terminal, where one is used, takes the boxes before the aircraft is ready. Ground handling catering is written into the slot, and handling agent catering means one contact for the trays and the paperwork.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Pratica di Mare Air Base

Pratica di Mare is a military apron, and the aircraft type decides how the food reaches the cabin. A light jet takes trays by hand through the door; a larger aircraft may need a high loader and airside access arranged through your handling agent. Galley catering is written for the galley of that tail: one oven or two, drawer space, chiller. Airside catering delivery follows the escort rules of the base, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the slot before anything is cooked.

About the airportLIRE

About Pratica di Mare Air Base (LIRE): airport catering for business aviation

Pratica di Mare Air Base is an Italian Air Force airfield at Pomezia, in Lazio, at about forty feet above sea level. It handles state, military and some visiting business traffic. Airport catering here means planning for controlled access and a clear handover, not a public terminal. General aviation arrivals depend on the base's authorisation, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through your handling agent before the flight.

Business aviation

Pratica di Mare is not a regular business aviation hub: it is a field where a visit is planned. Executive jet catering fits that rhythm, with the order written once. Business aviation catering and aviation catering are scheduled around the slot, inflight catering and in-flight catering for the return are added to it, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed apart. FBO services and ground handling services, where the base allows them, are confirmed against the same slot.

Customs & food import

At Pratica di Mare the military authority sets the access, and Italian and EU rules set the food import position. In practice, order in Lazio and avoid carrying provisions in from outside the EU. Your handling agent confirms what is allowed on the day, and the FBO services and ground handling services in use that day follow the same access rules.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Our priority at LIRE was a mezze selection with flatbreads for 3 passengers, with a late menu amendment shaping the service plan. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the main courses could be arranged during service. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. I want an inflight catering company to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“An order of prawn salad and small fruit plates for 10 people at Pratica di Mare Air Base had to be organised around several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls suggested clearly marked packs for the fruit plates, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the starters to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience.”

“Breakfast was already sorted; at Pratica di Mare Air Base, the next request was mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 11 guests, with a revised passenger count to work around. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. For in-flight catering services, that attention to galley preparation made the order noticeably easier to manage. There was no need to reconstruct the crew provisions quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Before you order at LIREAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a night or early morning departure from Pratica di Mare?+

Price per order is built from dishes, covers and service format. A departure at night from Pratica di Mare often suits chilled platters, which is the lighter option. Hot service, fresh seafood from the coast or a long list of dietary plates raises the figure.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Pratica di Mare if I want a local product on the menu?+

Lead time is shorter when the menu uses what Rome eats every day: pecorino, artichokes in spring, porchetta, pizza bianca. Rarer items, such as fresh truffle, need a conversation first. Last-minute orders are handled, and we say so plainly if a product is out.

How do customs work for inflight catering at Pratica di Mare when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Food bought here and loaded here stays inside Italian supply, which keeps customs simple. If the count goes up, we cook more and re-plan the boxes. If you carry food from abroad, ask your handling agent first.

Can you bring food on board at Pratica di Mare, or order a return leg from here for the way back?+

Yes, a return leg can be ordered from here at the same time as the outbound menu. Tell us the return time and covers, and we pack it separately and label it for the leg. Food you carry in from abroad is a customs question for your handling agent.

Is catering part of a charter into Pomezia, and does the departure slot or turnaround change the order?+

Catering stays outside a charter contract. For Pratica di Mare, send us the tail, the slot and the covers. A tight turnaround leads to chilled platters, a longer wait to plated mains.
