Catering to your aircraft in Mărculeşti.
Mărculești Air Base is a quiet, high-elevation field in northern Moldova, and a visiting jet stands out. We cook and pack private jet catering for that galley, with crew meals on request, delivered to your FBO or handling agent.
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.
Floreşti District is farming country, and the private jet menu for Mărculești follows it: sunflower and walnut, soft sheep cheese, and the vegetable table of a Moldovan summer. Our private jet food for LUBM is built from these local specialities, written as an inflight menu that survives a galley: nothing needs a stove, everything re-plates.
Moldovan cooking is the base of the private jet menu here. Placinte, mamaliga and brined cheese are cooked and packed for the galley, then re-plated by you. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all come from this table, with local specialities named on the label and a Floreşti District product on each tray.
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.
Mărculești Air Base sits at 312 ft in Floreşti District, in the north of Moldova, and a business jet landing here is rarely a routine rotation. Private jet catering for LUBM is written around that: a galley brief for a rare arrival, boxed for the handling agent, with inflight catering that matches your type and your seat plan. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering all work from the same order, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals can be added to it.
Business jet catering at LUBM is shaped by who is flying: a few executives, a short stop, a galley that does not like surprises. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the seat plan, charter flight catering follows the operator's rules, and luxury inflight catering is built around Moldovan produce. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the type and the guests.
Delegations in Moldova rely on discretion and traceability. Government flight catering at LUBM is cleared in advance, head of state flight catering keeps a small named team, VIP aviation catering follows protocol, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered without ceremony.
Special meals at Mărculești are planned around Moldovan cooking, where dairy, flour and walnuts are everywhere: kosher and halal requests are cooked separately and sealed, vegan and gluten free dishes avoid the cheese and polenta that anchor the local table, and allergen free meals are checked against nuts first. Kids meals are simple and mild, and every special meal is labelled by seat number.
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.
On a stop at LUBM, crew meals are ordered, not assumed, and invoiced with the rest. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed to eat with one hand, cockpit meals are kept simple, crew catering is planned with the trip, crew meal boxes are labelled, and different meals for pilots are prepared on request.
At LUBM, the handover is simple: FBO catering goes to the general aviation terminal or the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with ground handling catering staff, and your handling agent catering contact receives the order details.
Galley catering at LUBM depends on your aircraft type. A light or midsize jet takes its meals through the door by hand, while a larger aircraft may need a high loader arranged through the handling agent. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are agreed with the FBO or handler before the slot, so the boxes meet the aircraft rather than the other way round.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
LUBM is an air base rather than a commercial terminal, and it is not a business aviation hub in the usual sense. Airport catering for a visiting jet is arranged around the handling agent and the base's access rules, with general aviation movements treated as one-off events.
Few business jets use this field, so it stays a very small business aviation hub, and inflight catering and in-flight catering are written one trip at a time. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering share the order, diplomatic flight catering is handled with discretion, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are added on request. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged by your handler, with the FBO as the first contact.
Moldova applies strict rules on animal products entering the country, so catering at LUBM favours local ingredients. Customs is arranged through your handling agent, and we advise on what can arrive with the aircraft. Because this is not a regular business aviation hub, the paperwork is prepared for each arrival rather than assumed.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Nothing about the 3 guest order at Mărculești Air Base called for excess complexity: just poached fish with steamed rice and sensible planning for several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls updated the fruit plates in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. For our team, the strongest part of their aviation catering was how they handled catering handover. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
“The cabin briefing at Mărculești Air Base included 2 passenger meals, a request for a breakfast basket with individual preserves, and instructions addressing a revised passenger count. My main takeaway from this aviation catering services order was the practical approach to packing arrangement. The snack boxes came from The Galley Girls in sealed meal containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Service planning came first at LUBM, with 2 passengers choosing smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit and several individual meal preferences influencing our preparation. I want an aviation catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls grouped the canapés by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the side dishes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
The cost of private jet catering at Mărculești follows the dishes: a walnut and cheese platter costs less than a roast with sauce. Customs rules for this country push us to source locally, which is why imported items are the ones that add to the invoice.
For state or delegation movements, lead time follows protocol approval. Last-minute orders are handled at Mărculești, and we keep discretion on the guest list.
Night or dawn, customs at Mărculești cares about what the food is and where it came from. We use Moldovan produce and prepare the delivery note for your handling agent.
You can, but Moldova's import rules limit fresh meat and dairy from abroad, so crews often find it easier to order a local product here, such as brynza or walnut tart, and skip the customs question.
A charter and a catering order are two things. If seats are added or removed at the last minute, send us the new count and the invoice is adjusted.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
