Catering to your aircraft in Lielvarde.
A quiet airfield in Ogre Municipality, with visiting jets handled by arrangement. We pack Latvian produce for your galley and pass it to the handling agent at the apron.
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.
Lielvarde sits in Ogre Municipality, in the Vidzeme-edge lowlands of Latvia, and the local table is Baltic through and through. A private jet menu here leans on dark rye, smoked fish, cured pork and dairy, which travel well in a galley with no real kitchen. Our inflight menu pulls from these local specialities and keeps each item easy to plate from a drawer.
For private jet food at Lielvarde, think rye bread, smoked eel and sprats, farmers cheese, pickled vegetables and berries in season. These local specialities from Ogre Municipality are packed so the cold items stay cold and the hot ones finish in your oven. A private jet menu built on them reads as clearly Latvian without asking the crew to cook.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
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.
Lielvarde Air Base sits at 200 ft on the flat Daugava plain, a military airfield in Ogre Municipality that sees visiting aircraft by arrangement rather than by schedule. Private jet catering here is built around that: one agent, one apron slot, a galley that has to be loaded in the right order. We also cover inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for state and business movements, with business aviation catering and executive jet catering packed for the aircraft type you send. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol first, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
Who flies into EVGA? Mostly visiting delegations and operators using a military field by agreement. Corporate jet catering and business jet catering for them means a galley-sized order. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are packed by seat, luxury inflight catering uses Latvian dairy and fish, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu when asked.
Lielvarde Air Base is where government flight catering has a natural place, since the field handles official movements. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared with protocol first, then cooked. State visit aircraft catering is traceable, discreet and run by a named team.
Special meals at Lielvarde are handled as a procedure, not a label. Latvian cooking leans on dairy, wheat rye and smoked fish, so allergen free requests are checked against exactly those. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are prepared on separate boards and boxed by seat number, so a passenger tray is never opened by mistake.
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.
When the aircraft waits at EVGA, the crew still has to eat. We offer crew meals on request, billed with the order. Flight crew meals are hot or cold, pilot meals avoid anything messy, crew catering is labelled CREW, cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes, and different meals for pilots are available so captain and first officer do not share a dish.
FBO catering at Lielvarde is passed over through your handling agent, since access to a military apron is controlled. Catering delivery to the FBO or general aviation terminal is planned with ground handling catering, and handling agent catering means the agent opens the right gate for the right van.
At Lielvarde Air Base the aircraft type decides how the galley is loaded: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and how much galley catering the aircraft can actually hold. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent onto the apron, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the cabin you send, not around the menu.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Lielvarde Air Base is Latvia's main military airfield and a base for NATO air policing, in Ogre Municipality. Airport catering here is arranged for visiting aircraft, and general aviation traffic is limited and by agreement. FBO services and ground handling services depend on your agent.
As a business aviation hub Lielvarde is minor, but it takes official and charter flights by arrangement. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering follow the same rules as elsewhere: sealed, documented, handed over plane-side. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering suit the visiting types, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
Latvia is in the EU, so food from other member states moves freely, while animal products from outside the EU face import limits. Customs at a military field are arranged through your handling agent, and a sealed, documented order avoids delay.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Keeping the galley organised at Lielvarde Air Base meant planning a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 8 guests with a family lunch request in mind. For our team, the strongest part of their jet catering was how they handled packing arrangement. I asked The Galley Girls to review the main courses quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the sandwiches before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“I wanted a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 3 guests at EVGA, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a small galley worktop. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the canapés could be arranged during service. We could finish the crew provisions as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. For VIP flight catering, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at Lielvarde Air Base: beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 6 guests, organised with several individual meal preferences in mind. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the breakfast portions readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The sandwiches were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. My main takeaway from this charter flight catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”
A rye-and-smoked-fish lunch for four costs far less than an imported wagyu course, and Latvian customs rules on animal products decide which of the two is easy at EVGA. We quote per menu, so you see the figure before the slot.
Start from a Latvian anchor, a rye course or a smoked-fish starter, and the rest falls into place. Seasonal items are confirmed with you, and last-minute orders are handled.
Customs depend on where the aircraft comes from and what is in the galley. Animal products from outside the EU are restricted in Latvia, so we plan the menu around that and hand it over plane-side.
Food brought from home is subject to the same EU entry rules as anything else, and animal products are the usual problem. A boxed local meal ordered through us is simpler for a crew at the end of duty time.
The charter price does not include meals. Special meals, whether kosher, halal, vegan or a child menu, are ordered with us and billed like any order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
