Private jet catering at Siena-Ampugnano Airport (LIQS), Ampugnano (SI)

Catering to your aircraft in Ampugnano (SI).

LIQS is a small Tuscan strip where most arrivals are light and midsize jets in the vineyard and Palio season, so the galley is short on drawers and the menu has to fit them. We cook and pack for that, and hand it over on your slot.

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

Local specialities from Ampugnano (SI) for your inflight catering

A private jet menu for Siena starts from the Sienese table and from what survives a galley. Pici, the thick hand-rolled pasta, goes in sealed with the ragù apart, because sauce reheated on dressed pasta turns to paste in one oven. Cinta Senese salumi and Chianina are sliced per passenger in the kitchen rather than at the seat. The inflight menu leans on pecorino from the Crete Senesi and Val d'Orcia, honey, and panforte and ricciarelli to close.

Private jet food follows the season: porcini and truffle in autumn, artichokes and fava with young pecorino in spring, and only cold plates in the July and August heat of the Palio. Local specialities pair with Chianti Classico or Brunello, sourced on request and packed upright and chilled. Guests back from a long vineyard lunch often want a lighter return meal, and the platters are built for that.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Siena-Ampugnano Airport (LIQS)

A Tuscan plateau, a villa lunch and a vineyard in the afternoon: that is the usual Siena trip, and private jet catering at Siena-Ampugnano is written around it. A cold lunch that holds for the return, one hot dish for a single oven, and crew food kept apart. For the guest who wants more, business aviation catering here stays small, sealed and labelled.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Ampugnano (SI) (LIQS)

Business jet catering at Siena-Ampugnano is mostly small groups heading into Chianti, Montalcino or the city for a day. Corporate jet catering here is a short brief: a light lunch on the way in, something cold and sealed for the return. For executive jet catering on these flights the question is rarely volume; it is what the galley actually holds. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around that: pici with a ragù in a sealed tray, sliced Chianina, pecorino from Pienza. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same logic, and luxury inflight catering at LIQS means plating that survives a tiny galley, not a long list.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Siena-Ampugnano Airport

Government flight catering at Siena-Ampugnano is occasional and quiet: ministerial visits, cultural delegations, Palio-week guests. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering run through the protocol office, which clears the menu before anything is cooked, with a named team and traceable ingredients. VIP aviation catering for these movements stays discreet; diplomatic flight catering follows the same sequence, protocol first, kitchen second.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Siena-Ampugnano Airport (LIQS)

Special meals at LIQS are a procedure, not a label. Tuscan cooking hides gluten and nuts in more places than guests expect: panforte and ricciarelli carry almonds, pici is wheat, and ragù is often thickened. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are boxed apart and sealed with the seat number, allergen free dishes are cooked on a cleaned board, and kids meals are plain pasta or chicken with nothing hidden. Name the restriction with the order and we write it on the lid.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Ampugnano (SI) (LIQS)

On a short Siena turnaround the crew eats between the ramp and the return leg, so we pack crew meals in boxes that open with one hand. Crew meals are on request, ordered with the flight and invoiced like the rest of the order, never included. Flight crew meals can be a pasta or a cold chicken plate; pilot meals can be two different dishes for captain and first officer, if the operator's policy asks for it, as different meals for pilots. Cockpit meals are labelled CREW, apart from the guest trays. Crew catering and cabin crew meals follow the same box, and crew meal boxes can be hot or cold depending on the ground wait.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Siena-Ampugnano Airport

FBO catering at Siena-Ampugnano is delivered at the general aviation terminal, which is small enough that the handover is usually one door and one person. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the handling agent: ground handling catering means confirming who opens the gate and when, which matters for evening and night arrivals after a Palio dinner. Handling agent catering at a field this size depends on the staffing hours, so give us the slot and the tail and we plan the drop to match.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Siena-Ampugnano Airport

Light and midsize jets dominate LIQS, so the galley is the constraint, not the door. Galley catering is packed to the drawers and one oven you actually have: stackable trays, nothing that needs a trolley. Airside catering delivery here is hand-carried to the steps, and aircraft provisioning for a bigger jet is arranged with the handling agent in advance, since high-loader access on a small apron is not a given.

About the airportLIQS

Airport catering at Siena-Ampugnano Airport (LIQS)

Siena-Ampugnano is a small general aviation airport in the Tuscan hills, used by private jets, light aircraft and the odd charter. Airport catering here suits a quiet field: one runway, a modest terminal, guests heading for the city, Chianti or the Palio. It is a business aviation hub only loosely, but general aviation traffic holds up through the warm months, and business aviation catering stays small and planned.

Business aviation

Demand peaks around the Palio in July and August and again during the autumn truffle and harvest weeks, with winters quieter. FBO services and ground handling services depend on what the small terminal can staff, so evening and weekend handovers need confirming early. Runway length and weather decide which jets come in, mostly light and midsize types.

Customs & food import

Italy is in the EU, so Schengen arrivals clear no customs on food, while flights from outside the EU face import limits on meat and dairy. Catering loaded in Italy is generally fine to carry; bringing your own meat or cheese in from a non-EU origin can be refused. Tell us the origin of the flight and we plan the order around it.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Passenger preferences led us to chicken skewers with a couscous salad at Siena-Ampugnano Airport; 4 portions were needed, with a late menu amendment factored into preparation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the salads properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Despite different crew meal preferences, we wanted the 10 guests at Siena-Ampugnano Airport to enjoy smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit without a complicated cabin service. We changed the quantities of canapés, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the desserts quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. I want a private jet catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“For 7 passengers departing from LIQS, the agreed menu was a breakfast basket with individual preserves; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the fruit plates, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at galley preparation after this experience. The salads went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

The Siena-Ampugnano questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a day on the ground at Siena?+

On a long crew duty with a wait at LIQS, the cost moves with what you ask for rather than a tariff: a cold Tuscan lunch for six costs far less than Chianina and porcini plated hot, and crew meals for a long wait are priced as their own line. Send the headcount and the ground time and we price it.

What is the lead time if the aircraft repositions empty into Siena?+

An empty positioning leg usually leaves little notice, and that is fine: we ask for 10 hours before departure where possible, and last-minute orders are handled. Give us the tail and the slot and we confirm what can be sourced locally at that hour.

What customs rules apply to catering at LIQS with a light jet?+

A small jet means a small galley and fewer restrictions to manage, but the origin of the flight still decides: intra-EU arrivals are simple, non-EU arrivals face limits on meat and dairy. Tell us the aircraft type and the origin and we pack to fit both the galley and the rules.

Can you bring food for a guest with a kosher or allergen request?+

Yes, but name it with the order so it is cooked and boxed apart. Kosher, halal, allergen free and kids meals travel sealed with the seat number on the box, and we ask that guests not add their own food to the tray unlabelled.

Is catering part of a charter into Siena?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter; you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own. At a small field the handling agent decides airside access, so we coordinate the drop through them and give them the slot.
