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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Bucharest (BBU)

Bucharest sits in Romania's southern plain, and the private jet menu for LRBS leans on what the region cooks well and what travels well. Local specialities here are comfort dishes, so the work is deciding which survive a galley oven and which are better served chilled. Our inflight menu for Bucharest starts from sarmale, ciorbă de perișoare in a sealed pot, mici when the grill menu is wanted, and papanași finished at the aircraft.

Private jet food from Bucharest is Balkan-adjacent and generous: smoked meats, sheep cheese, roasted peppers, zacuscă. Local specialities arrive packed by how they finish, in the oven, with the sauce apart, or chilled and re-plated cold. Private jet platters of telemea, cașcaval and cured pork loin travel well, while gourmet inflight meals such as sarmale or beef cheeks wait in the drawer. Private jet snacks fit a short sector: covrigi, nuts, dried plums and a small tray of cozonac.

For a private jet menu out of Bucharest, the region gives us a clear palette. Sarmale in vine leaves keep their shape, ciorbă travels in a sealed pot, and plăcinte are best served from the oven. Our inflight menu pairs these local specialities with lighter plates for guests who want something chilled. Private jet food in this part of Romania rewards simple execution: good bread, sheep cheese, tomatoes in season, and a dessert that does not need a plate.

Bucharest cooks with smoke, vine leaves and sour broths, and that shapes the private jet menu we write for the capital. Private jet snacks and private jet platters lean on cheese, cured meats, olives and seasonal vegetables, while gourmet inflight meals take the heavier dishes, sarmale, mămăligă with cheese, slow pork. Each of these local specialities is labelled by how it finishes in your galley, and the inflight menu is adjusted when guests prefer lighter plates.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (LRBS)

Băneasa sits on the northern edge of Bucharest, a field where business jets share the apron with state and diplomatic traffic. Private jet catering at LRBS follows that rhythm: inflight catering packed for the galley you actually have, handed over at the FBO, with in-flight catering for long sectors east or west planned around what survives the climb. Aviation catering here is also business aviation catering for executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering, plus cabin crew meals on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Bucharest (LRBS)

A typical Băneasa brief is a corporate or charter flight with six to ten guests, a known galley and a plan to eat on the leg out. Business jet catering for Bucharest is written around that galley: corporate jet catering with plates that finish in the oven, VIP flight catering with a chilled starter, and charter flight catering that stays simple. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu and luxury inflight catering is packed by seat number.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport

Bucharest sees diplomatic and state movements through Băneasa, and government flight catering follows protocol: the menu is cleared before anything is cooked, traceability is kept, and the team stays named. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering share that discretion, and VIP aviation catering stays out of the way of the delegation.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport

Dietary requests at Băneasa are handled as a procedure, not a label: kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free plates are cooked and packed separately, with allergen free handling written down. Romanian cooking hides allergens in the usual places, flour in the sour broth, dairy in the polenta, nuts in the cozonac, so special meals are checked dish by dish. Kids meals are cooked mild, with sauce apart.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (BBU)

On a long ground wait at Băneasa, crew meals are what keep the day on schedule. Flight crew meals are cooked to be eaten between tasks, pilot meals are packed so they eat without leaving the flight deck, and crew catering is ordered with the flight, on request and invoiced like the rest. Cockpit meals can differ for each pilot, so different meals for pilots is a normal request. Crew meal boxes are labelled CREW so nobody opens a guest tray, and cabin crew meals are packed separately.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport

At LRBS the handover happens at the aircraft, arranged through your handling agent. FBO catering is coordinated for the general aviation terminal, catering delivery to the FBO is on your slot, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering run through one contact who knows which door opens.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (BBU)

What goes up the stairs at LRBS depends on the cabin you fly. A light jet takes a few boxes by hand, while a larger cabin means galley catering staged for a high loader and airside catering delivery coordinated with the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning starts with the door height and the galley you have.

About the airportLRBS / BBU

About Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International (LRBS/BBU) is the city's business aviation field, sitting at 297 ft with a general aviation terminal for corporate and government traffic. It is the airport most private jets choose when the flight is to Bucharest itself, and airport catering here is built around that traffic.

Business aviation

Băneasa is a business aviation hub for the Romanian capital. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here follow corporate schedules, while aviation catering and business aviation catering suit longer sectors. Executive jet catering is common for corporate flights, diplomatic flight catering for official visits, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request. FBO services and ground handling services at the airport keep general aviation moving.

Customs & food import

Customs at Băneasa apply EU rules on animal products, so personal food from outside the EU is often stopped. Locally cooked catering sidesteps that problem, and we keep paperwork simple by labelling every box.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Breakfast was already sorted; at BBU, the next request was a mezze selection with flatbreads for 8 guests, with a late menu amendment to work around. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the starters had been grouped. For our team, the strongest part of their VIP flight catering was how they handled final order confirmation. We could account for the sandwiches before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“On this departure from Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, 4 passengers had chosen beef fillet with roasted potatoes, and a small galley worktop needed to be reflected in the order. Our brief for charter flight catering was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. The Galley Girls suggested shallow trays for the starters, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the salads to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Pierre B. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Food presentation mattered to our 2 guests, but limited fridge space also had to be considered when organising avocado toast components and breakfast fruit at LRBS. With private jet food, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls labelled the crew provisions in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Bucharest?+

A flight leaving LRBS in January and one in July do not cost the same: seasonal vegetables, soups versus salads, how much goes in the oven. We price what you order, with seasonal produce shifting the line items.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at LRBS?+

Start with your handling agent: airside access at LRBS is arranged through them. Once the slot is confirmed we deliver to the FBO, and late changes are handled by phone or email, day or night.

What about customs for catering into Romania?+

Customs checks at Băneasa follow EU food-import rules. We pack in seat-numbered boxes, so a guest added or dropped late does not mean repacking the whole order.

Can you bring food from home on a flight into Bucharest?+

Personal food is often stopped at customs if it contains meat or dairy. When the crew is waiting on the ground and duty time is running, a packed hot meal delivered to the FBO is easier than improvising.

Is catering part of a charter into Bucharest?+

Catering is not part of a charter. The charter covers the aircraft; food for LRBS is ordered separately and invoiced on its own, with Romanian import rules built into the menu from the start.
