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

Zemun on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at BJY

Serbia eats generously and grills well, and that translates better to a private jet menu than people expect. For Beograd (city) departures we build an inflight menu around what Serbian kitchens do properly: kajmak, the soft cultured cream, spooned into a small pot and served beside warm bread; prosciutto-style pršut and dry-cured sausage sliced for cold boards; ajvar, the roasted red pepper spread, packed apart so it never softens the bread. Private jet food from here should travel, so grilled meats such as ćevapi or pljeskavica are cooked, rested and sealed for the oven rather than finished at altitude. Sarma, cabbage rolls in a paprika-tomato sauce, holds beautifully in a galley and is a local classic. Private jet platters carry roasted peppers, white cheese and cured meat; gourmet inflight meals lean on veal, lamb and river fish; private jet snacks are walnuts, dried plums and small pastries. These are local specialities that reflect Zemun and the wider Beograd (city) table, written into a private jet menu for the people on board.

A private jet menu for Zemun and Beograd (city) starts with what the Danube and Sava plains produce. Plums become rakija and dried fruit, peppers become ajvar, sheep and cow milk become kajmak and white cheese. Inflight menu choices that work from LYBT: cold platters of pršut, cheese and roasted peppers; a hot main of lamb or veal with the sauce in its own pot; sarma that reheats in a standard galley oven. Private jet food at Batajnica has to survive a possibly long wait on a military apron, so cold dishes are packed chilled and hot ones are sealed. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all adapted to these local specialities, with walnut and plum notes for sweets, so guests taste Serbia without a messy service.

At a glance · ZemunBatajnica Air Base · LYBT

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Batajnica Air Base (LYBT)

Batajnica Air Base sits on the flat Pannonian plain west of Belgrade's Zemun district, a military field with a long runway and an apron that sees more state and government traffic than commercial bustle. Private jet catering at LYBT (BJY) is therefore built around protocol, discretion and a handover that goes through your handling agent. We pack inflight catering for the galley, aviation catering for the whole flight deck and cabin, and cabin crew meals when the operator asks for them. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all run the same way here: sealed trays, seat numbers, nothing improvised at the aircraft door.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Batajnica Air Base (LYBT)

Business jet catering at Batajnica usually starts with a delegation, a corporate group or a charter passing through Zemun. Corporate jet catering here favours trays that hold: VIP flight catering for the cabin, charter flight catering for a mixed manifest, and luxury inflight catering that avoids fuss on a military apron. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your galley, using Serbian lamb, local cheese and seasonal fruit.

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Batajnica Air Base

Government flight catering at LYBT is the main business of the field. Head of state flight catering follows a protocol cleared before anything is cooked: named team, traceable ingredients, no labels with identities. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering arrive sealed, handed to the handling agent or security detail, and kept discreet from kitchen to galley.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Batajnica Air Base

Special meals at Batajnica follow a procedure written around Serbian cooking. Kosher and halal requests are sourced and sealed with their own paperwork, and vegan or gluten free plates are cooked on separate boards. The local kitchen leans on flour in sauces, dairy in kajmak and walnuts in desserts, so allergen free and kids meals are checked ingredient by ingredient before packing, then marked by seat.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Batajnica Air Base (BJY)

At Batajnica, FBO catering is delivered to whoever runs the ramp. We coordinate catering delivery to the FBO and to the general aviation terminal when access is arranged in advance. Ground handling catering means your handling agent receives the trays and takes them airside, and handling agent catering stays one contact from order to aircraft.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Batajnica Air Base (BJY)

Batajnica handles larger government and military types as well as business jets, so galley catering is briefed by aircraft type. Airside catering delivery can use a high loader for wide-bodies, while smaller jets take trays by hand through the main door. Aircraft provisioning is agreed with your handling agent beforehand, so the dollies, access to the apron and the galley layout are all settled before the vehicle moves.

About the airportLYBT / BJY

About Batajnica Air Base: business aviation and airport catering

Batajnica Air Base serves Zemun and the Beograd (city) area as a military airfield that also takes government and some business aviation movements. Airport catering here is quiet and planned, tied to access permissions and a confirmed slot. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged in advance through your handling agent, who decides what is received at the aircraft and how.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is too strong a phrase for Batajnica, but general aviation and VIP movements do pass through. Inflight catering for these flights is planned with the galley in mind: in-flight catering that fits the aircraft, aviation catering that respects the security perimeter, and business aviation catering that never improvises at the door. FBO services and ground handling services decide who receives the trays on the military apron. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same sealed protocol, and cabin crew meals and other crew meals are added on request and invoiced with the order.

Customs & food import

Serbia controls imported meat, dairy and plant products, and the apron at Batajnica is a military zone with its own permissions. We source locally where we can, and your handling agent confirms what may go airside. FBO services and ground handling services on the field follow those same access rules, so any change to the order is agreed with them first.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Our priority at BJY was a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 3 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet food. The sauces came from The Galley Girls in separate meal boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the breakfast portions to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Several practical details needed attention at Batajnica Air Base, with mini sandwiches and individual desserts requested for 6 guests and two separate meal services to accommodate. I wanted clear identification on the side dishes; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the main courses identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. My main takeaway from this private jet meals order was the practical approach to final order confirmation.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“On this departure from LYBT, 7 passengers had chosen a breakfast basket with individual preserves, and a family lunch request needed to be reflected in the order. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the main courses could be arranged during service. Keeping the sauces aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet menu was how they handled portion planning.”

Asked before every LYBT slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short turnaround at Batajnica?+

A short turnaround at LYBT usually means cold platters and a sealed hot main, and that mix sets the cost. A dawn slot tends to be lighter than an evening one. Walnut and plum snacks sit at the cheap end, lamb and veal at the other, so how much private jet catering costs depends on the slot you give us.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Batajnica Air Base, and can I order the return leg from here?+

Yes, order the way back together with the outbound. Our team is on 24/7, day and night, and last-minute orders for Batajnica are handled. What speeds the lead time is a clear tail, a confirmed slot and the name of your handling agent.

What are the customs rules for catering at Batajnica when the passenger count changes?+

Serbian customs rules on imported meat and dairy are firm, so we build from local stock. If the headcount shifts at the last minute, we repack from that stock and the handover through your handling agent stays the same. Aircraft waste is a separate matter for your handler.

Can you bring food onto the aircraft at Batajnica, or should one local product go on the menu?+

You can bring your own, but it is rarely worth it here. Kajmak, the soft cultured cream, is local, travels well in a sealed pot and raises no customs question, so we usually suggest adding it to the order rather than carrying food in.

Is catering part of a charter into Batajnica for a night or early morning departure?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: for a night departure or an early slot it is ordered separately and invoiced as its own order, like any other. We hand it over to your handling agent at the aircraft, whatever the hour.
