Catering to your aircraft in Alta.
ENAT is a quiet coastal field in Finnmark where cold is the main constraint on every plate. We pack Arctic produce for your galley at ALF and hand it over at the aircraft through your 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.
Finnmark has a short list of products that are very good, and we build the private jet menu around them. Reindeer from Sami herders, Arctic char, king crab from the Barents Sea and cloudberries are the local specialities that travel well in a galley. Every private jet platter is packed as it will be served at altitude: the inflight menu for Alta leans on cold smoked fish and cured meats for guests who land in the middle of the polar night, and a hot reindeer main for those who want something warm. Gourmet inflight meals from this region are cooked and packed so the crew only has to finish them. Private jet snacks are simple: lefse with brunost, dried cod chips, berry bars. All of this is private jet food made from what Finnmark actually produces, so the menu changes with the season.
Think of the private jet menu for Alta as a short Arctic pantry. King crab and Arctic char come in from the coast; reindeer fillet and cured reindeer come from the plateau; cloudberries and lingonberries make the sweets. These local specialities are what we pack as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks for Finnmark departures. The inflight menu changes between aurora season and midnight sun: warm mains and soup in the dark months, cold platters and fresh fish in summer. Each item is packed for a galley with limited oven space, so private jet food from Alta stays simple to finish and easy to re-plate.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Alta sits on a coastal plain in Finnmark, and winter here means darkness at noon and aircraft arriving full of guests chasing the northern lights. We provide private jet catering for those flights, inflight catering built from Arctic produce, and cabin crew meals boxed separately. For executive jet catering and business aviation catering alike, the order is simple: tell us the tail, the slot and the headcount. Aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering movements follows the same plane-side handover.
Alta's business traffic is seasonal: winter charters for northern lights, summer corporate trips. For business jet catering at ENAT, our private jet chef builds a bespoke menu around the aircraft's galley. Corporate jet catering means simple finishing, charter flight catering means one order for the whole cabin, VIP flight catering means seat-numbered trays, and luxury inflight catering uses Finnmark ingredients.
Delegation flights through ALF are handled quietly. Government flight catering needs a menu approved by protocol; head of state flight catering adds traceability and a named crew. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering at Alta follow the same route: approval, cooking, then a sealed handover at the aircraft.
Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and other special meals are cooked on a separate board and packed in a sealed box, then labelled by seat number. Alta's menu leans on fish, dairy and cured meats, so allergen free requests are checked against the sauces, the brunost and the smoked items first. Kids meals are plain: pasta, fish fingers or chicken with potatoes. Ask for the dietary brief and we confirm what can be done from the local pantry.
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.
Crew meals at Alta are made for people standing on a cold apron between legs. We offer flight crew meals as crew catering on request, invoiced like the rest of the order. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed in a short turn, in crew meal boxes labelled by role, with different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. The same crew meals box fits any cabin crew meals need on the aircraft.
At ALF, the handover goes through the general aviation terminal and your handling agent. FBO catering is the standard route: catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated for your slot, and ground handling catering brings the order to the aircraft steps. Handling agent catering works the same way for every tail.
Aircraft at ENAT range from light jets to larger business jets and the occasional bigger cabin. For galley catering, the type decides how the order reaches the door: a stair-door jet takes trays by hand, while larger doors need a high loader on the apron. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning at Alta follows the same plane-side handover whatever the size.
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.
Alta Airport serves a town in Finnmark that has become a northern-lights destination, and the airport's general aviation traffic follows the seasons. Airport catering here is planned around cold, darkness and a compact terminal. We keep the handover plain and predictable.
Winter at ENAT brings aurora charters; summer brings the midnight sun and corporate visits. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering here are shaped by those seasons. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all pass through general aviation and the FBO services of this business aviation hub, with ground handling services at the apron.
Customs in Norway restrict imported animal products, so a menu built on Finnmark reindeer, fish and berries is easier to clear than flown-in items. Check with your handling agent for the specifics of your inbound route.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 9 people at ENAT had to be organised around a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls prepared the fruit plates for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. I want a private jet chef to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Keeping the desserts aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“What impressed me at ALF was how a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings was handled despite different crew meal preferences. Our brief for in flight catering was met with a sensible plan for storage requirements. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the snack boxes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. We also checked the sandwiches before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Menu approval at Alta Airport covered mushroom risotto and a green salad for 10 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a tight boarding window. With inflight catering services, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. I wanted clear identification on the sauces; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I found the breakfast portions without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
A short menu of local fish costs less than a crab-and-caviar spread. Because Norwegian customs limit certain animal products, we lean on Finnmark suppliers, which keeps both the bill and the paperwork down.
Delegation movements are easier when we know early who eats what. The protocol contact signs off the menu, and last-minute orders are still accepted for ENAT.
Early-morning flights from ENAT are routine in winter. Food crosses the same Norwegian rules as any other, and local produce passes more easily; we coordinate with the handling agent for the apron.
Guests can bring their own, subject to Norwegian customs. Many prefer a local reindeer dish from Alta, since it is fresh, regional and easy to pack for the galley.
It is separate. A charter covers the flight, while catering is commissioned and billed apart, so a late passenger change means a revised order, not a revised contract.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
