Catering to your aircraft in Lisbon.
A Lisbon rotation means a tight apron, Atlantic fish and a handling agent who knows your slot. We write the menu around your galley and bring it to the aircraft, with crew meals if you ask.
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.

Lisbon District sits on the Atlantic, and the private jet menu for Lisbon Humberto Delgado follows the fish market. Grilled sea bream and sea bass travel as fillets with lemon and olive oil on the side, re-plated cold or finished in your oven. Bacalhau, the salt cod every Portuguese table argues about, comes as a baked dish that holds in a drawer; we pack the potato and the egg separately so the plate looks right at altitude.
Local specialities matter on an inflight menu because guests on Lisbon departures often ask for them by name. Alentejo cured meats and sheep cheeses such as Serpa make strong private jet platters, sliced and chilled, with quince paste and bread packed dry. Pastel de nata is the private jet snack everyone expects; it goes in a rigid box so the custard does not shift. Gourmet inflight meals from the Lisbon table lean on seafood rice, black pork and seasonal citrus.
Portugal gives private jet food a strong, simple base: olive oil, good bread, shellfish, and fruit that ripens early. For a Lisbon crew, the point is what survives the galley. Clams in garlic and coriander are packed in their own broth to be heated in the aircraft oven, while cheeses and figs stay chilled. Our chefs write the private jet menu around the aircraft and the slot, never the other way round.

Runway 02/20 at Lisbon Humberto Delgado sits inside the city, and business jets here line up with the airliners on a single busy field. Private jet catering for LPPT is written for that rhythm: cold plates that wait in the drawer, hot dishes that finish in your oven, all handed over by your FBO or handling agent. For inflight catering and in-flight catering on a Lisbon rotation, we cook for the galley you actually have. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering here lean on Atlantic fish, Alentejo produce and Portuguese pastry. Diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol first, and cabin crew meals ride the same order.
Business jet catering at LPPT is usually a short brief: who is flying, what the galley has, and what Lisbon can offer that day. Corporate jet catering leans on fish, cheese and fruit; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering add tasting plates and a private jet chef when asked. Luxury inflight catering for Lisbon means a bespoke menu that fits the oven, not the other way round.
Government flight catering at Lisbon goes through protocol before the kitchen starts. Head of state flight catering means a named team, traceable ingredients and a discreet handover. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are quoted per menu, with the security and timing agreed in advance.
Portuguese kitchens lean on fish, eggs, pork fat and wheat, so allergens hide in places guests do not expect: caldo verde finished with chouriço, bacalhau bound with cream, custard tarts with gluten and dairy. Special meals for Lisbon departures are built as a procedure: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free dishes are cooked and packed apart, and kids meals follow the same route. Tell us the restriction and the seat number.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
A Lisbon turnaround is short for the crew, so crew meals are boxed to be eaten fast. Flight crew meals and crew catering are available on request and billed with the order. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed separately, with crew meal boxes labelled and different meals for pilots when the policy demands it. Cabin crew meals ride on the same order, packed in their own boxes.
At LPPT, we deliver to the FBO or directly to the aircraft, as your handling agent allows. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are confirmed against the tail. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the general aviation terminal sees a clean, labelled order.
At LPPT, the type of aircraft sets how the order is loaded. A small jet takes boxes through the cabin door and into the galley; a larger cabin may need a high loader to reach the door on the apron. Galley catering is packed to the galley you have, ovens, drawers, chillers, and airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail before anything is cooked.
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.

Lisbon Humberto Delgado sits in the city, with one main airline terminal and a general aviation area for business jets. The airport catering here serves both, with FBO services and ground handling services on the same field. Lisbon is a business aviation hub for Portugal, from Atlantic charters to short European hops.
Lisbon's business aviation season peaks in summer and around major conferences and sports events. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders rise with them, and aviation catering for executive jet catering is typically light and seafood-led. Business aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals can be added to any trip.
Portugal is in the EU, so catering within the bloc moves easily. Flights to non-EU countries face the destination's rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce, which may be removed on landing. We pack sealed and labelled so customs checks are straightforward, and we ask for the route when you order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Food presentation mattered to our 11 guests, but a revised passenger count also had to be considered when organising yoghurt pots and fresh berries at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport. Our brief for flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the sandwiches, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of crew provisions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”
“On this departure from LPPT, 11 passengers had chosen fresh fruit and breakfast pastries, and several individual meal preferences needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls kept the sauces separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The sandwiches stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. This experience of airline catering gave us a useful reference for managing portion planning on another departure.”
“Several practical details needed attention at LIS, with a mezze selection with flatbreads requested for 8 guests and a late menu amendment to accommodate. The Galley Girls grouped the sandwiches by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the main courses properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. For crew meals, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
Cost depends on what the galley can finish. A Lisbon departure on a large cabin may use hot bacalhau and seafood rice, while a very light jet sticks to chilled plates. Premium items such as prawns or octopus add to the total, bread and fruit do not. Ask for a quote with the tail and seat count.
For a pre-dawn departure, send the tail and slot as early as you can and mention any special meals; we will tell you what is easy that day. The lead time that matters is menu complexity, not the clock. Last-minute orders are handled, and phone or email is open 24/7.
Food that leaves Lisbon for a non-EU airport may be declared or destroyed on arrival. For a two-service flight, we suggest keeping the menu light on restricted items and sending the destination in advance. Our team knows the typical rules and packs accordingly.
Allergen-free meals are a procedure, not a label. If you bring your own, we can still support with sealed sides or separate boxes. If you prefer us to cook, we use clean equipment and keep the dish apart from the guest trays.
No. Catering is not part of a private jet charter: you order it separately and it is billed as catering. Local products such as pastel de nata or Atlantic seafood are added to that order. Tell us what you want and we pack it for the aircraft.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
