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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Stapari

Zlatibor is sheep, smoke and dairy country, and the local specialities travel well in a jet galley. A private jet menu built here starts with Uzice-style prosciutto cured in mountain air, then kajmak, the thick clotted cream that goes on a plate beside warm bread. For an inflight menu we pack these as private jet platters: sliced cold, with the kajmak in its own pot so it never touches the bread early. Private jet food from Zlatibor District also means ajvar, aged cheeses and cornmeal pita, all of which survive a drawer and a re-plate.

Gourmet inflight meals from the Stapari area lean on lamb, which is the dish people mean when they talk about Zlatibor. Roast lamb is carved and packed to be finished in the galley oven, with potatoes and a sauce kept apart. As private jet snacks we pack dried meat, walnuts, local honey and small pies. The private jet menu for Zlatibor District follows the season: raspberries and plums in summer, soup and smoked meat once the cold arrives. Every private jet platters order is written for the aircraft type, so a light jet gets a smaller, simpler tray than a larger cabin.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ponikve Airport (LYUZ)

Ponikve Airport sits at 2,966 ft in the Zlatibor hills, a small airfield where a light jet or turboprop gets a quiet apron and a short ground turn. Private jet catering here follows that rhythm: Zlatibor produce, a galley brief for the aircraft you fly, handover at the aircraft. The same menu runs as inflight catering and in-flight catering for any cabin, and as aviation catering for the crew who work it. Business aviation catering at LYUZ is mostly leisure and mountain-resort traffic, and executive jet catering follows the same plain brief. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals go through the handling agent like everything else.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Ponikve Airport for VIP flights

A typical Ponikve trip is a business jet or turboprop bringing guests to the Zlatibor resorts, so business jet catering here is small and specific. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering for four to six seats usually mean one cold platter and one hot dish, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around lamb or trout. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same plan for private jet charter clients, and the galley decides what is hot.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Ponikve Airport (LYUZ)

Special meals at Ponikve start with the local kitchen: Zlatibor food is heavy on dairy, pork and wheat, so kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are built from scratch rather than adapted from the lamb and prosciutto menu. Allergen free and kids meals are packed in separate sealed boxes with seat numbers, never mixed with the platters, and any special meals request is confirmed against the handling agent's access to the aircraft.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Ponikve Airport

For a crew sitting at Ponikve between legs, crew meals are the thing nobody plans until they are hungry. Order flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals on request, billed as part of the order. Crew catering comes as crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are packed apart so captain and first officer do not share a dish.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Ponikve Airport (LYUZ)

At LYUZ the order passes through the FBO and the general aviation terminal. We deliver FBO catering there, the handling agent takes over for ground handling catering, and catering delivery to the FBO ends at the aircraft door. Handling agent catering on a small apron needs no more than the tail and the slot.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Ponikve Airport (UZC)

Ponikve is a small airfield, so most aircraft here are light and midsize types with a low cabin door and a modest galley. Galley catering for these is carried by hand or on a small cart; a high loader is only a question for larger aircraft that need airside catering delivery at the door. The aircraft type decides how aircraft provisioning is done, so tell us the tail and we pack for that galley.

About the airportLYUZ / UZC

About Ponikve Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Ponikve serves Zlatibor District and the resort towns around it, and airport catering here is built around what a small airfield can support. Business aviation uses it for short stays, mostly resort and leisure traffic, and the apron stays quiet outside the season.

Business aviation

Ponikve works as a small business aviation hub for Zlatibor, and it sees general aviation and FBO services as a matter of weather and season. Ground handling services are limited but efficient; inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are packed to match. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request.

Customs & food import

Food import into Serbia follows customs rules on meat, dairy and produce, which is why our menu at Ponikve uses local suppliers. The handling agent manages airside access, and any special-meal item is cleared with them before the order is cooked.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Having 7 guests request grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at UZC meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a late menu amendment. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the crew provisions clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about business jet catering. There was enough information about the main courses to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Choosing beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 5 people at Ponikve Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. With business aviation catering, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The breakfast portions supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the starters identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Nikita K. | Charter operator

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Menu approval at LYUZ covered roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 8 guests, leaving us to organise the service around two separate meal services. For jet catering, that attention to packing arrangement made the order noticeably easier to manage. We changed the quantities of breakfast portions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The note about the snack boxes was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

Ordering for LYUZ, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Ponikve, and does Serbian food import change it?+

A Zlatibor lamb dinner for four costs more than a salad and cheese lunch for two, and the same logic applies to every order. Customs rules in Serbia on foreign food are another reason we cook with local produce for this airport. Quote on request, with the seat count and menu in hand.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Ponikve and how does the handling agent fit in?+

Ponikve has a short chain from kitchen to cabin: handling agent, apron, aircraft door. We arrange access with the agent when you order, and last-minute orders are handled through the same chain. The slot you file decides the rest.

Do customs rules at Ponikve apply to a kosher or allergen special-meal request?+

For a special-meal request, customs matters less than separation: the dish is cooked and packed apart from the Zlatibor platters, then labelled by seat. Serbian rules on imported food are the reason we avoid carrying it in.

Can you bring food from home onto a light jet at Ponikve, given the galley size?+

Yes, within customs limits, though a small cabin makes it impractical to carry a full meal. We pack to the galley of the aircraft you fly, so a short brief on the type is enough.

Is catering part of a charter when the aircraft repositions empty into Ponikve?+

No, catering stays outside the charter on every leg, including repositioning into Ponikve. For an empty cabin, order crew meals alone and we handle them as a separate invoice.
