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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Madrid

Madrid is a lunch city, and its private jet menu reads like one: cured ham, manchego, tortilla de patatas, croquetas and a cocido that earns its place on a winter departure. Our inflight menu for the Madrid (community) keeps the cold things cold and puts hot dishes in the galley oven with sauce apart.

Private jet food from Madrid leans on Castilian cooking: cochinillo, callos, cordero asado and the Iberian ham that travels so well. These local specialities are packed as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, each with its service note on the lid.

Late-afternoon departures from Madrid often call for something light after a Spanish-hours lunch: gazpacho, ensaladilla rusa, a board of manchego and chorizo. Churros with chocolate are a snack the cabin asks for more than the menu suggests.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport

A typical business jet brief at LEMD is a small party flying for a day of meetings in Madrid: business jet catering with a cold Iberian lunch, corporate jet catering for the return and VIP flight catering when a guest has a restriction. Charter flight catering follows the tail and slot. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley, and luxury inflight catering adds the extras, including a cheese and fruit finish.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport

Government flight catering at Madrid is run by protocol: the menu is cleared before anything is cooked, names stay off labels and the team is small and known. Head of state flight catering follows the same line, with VIP aviation catering for the supporting staff and state visit aircraft catering planned around the arrival ceremony.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD)

Spanish cooking hides allergens in places a menu will not tell you: flour in the croquetas, egg in the tortilla, shellfish stock in the paella, nuts in the picada. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals at Madrid, we cook on separate boards and pack in separate boxes, marked by seat number, so the galley never has to guess.

Pilot meals and crew meals at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD)

On a Madrid turn the crew eats last, so crew meals are packed to wait. We make flight crew meals for the full team, pilot meals marked by seat, crew catering for cabin staff, cockpit meals that can be eaten at the controls, crew meal boxes that survive a delay and different meals for pilots on request. Costs follow the order.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport

FBO catering at LEMD is handed over at the aircraft or inside the general aviation terminal, depending on the slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, who opens the right gate; ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the same plan whichever side of the airport you use.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD)

Madrid–Barajas handles everything from light jets to widebody VIP aircraft, and the aircraft type decides how the load goes aboard. Galley catering for a large cabin often means a high loader and an airside catering delivery to the main deck door, while a light jet takes a hand-carry up the airstair. Aircraft provisioning at LEMD is briefed against your galley layout, so the trolleys, boxes and ovens match what is actually fitted.

About the airportLEMD / MAD

Airport catering at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD)

Airport catering at Madrid–Barajas serves the largest hub in Spain, with a general aviation area apart from the commercial terminals. FBO services and ground handling services are separate from the scheduled operation, and crews arriving on a private jet are usually directed to the business aviation side of the field.

Business aviation

Madrid is a business aviation hub for Spain, with inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering used by executives, charter operators and officials. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are routine here, and cabin crew meals follow the same order flow as the rest.

Customs & food import

Spain applies EU rules on meat, dairy and plant products, and arrivals from outside the EU face checks on what travels in the galley. Alcohol and fresh produce may be declared, and sealed commercial goods are the safest. We plan the order around the route and the arrival country.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Passenger preferences led us to mini sandwiches and individual desserts at LEMD; 9 portions were needed, with a late menu amendment factored into preparation. The salads came from The Galley Girls in compact food boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. The sauces were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. The order made airport catering feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand.”

Ravi Y. | Charter operator

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Keeping the galley organised at MAD meant planning a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 3 guests with two separate meal services in mind. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sandwiches to be packed accordingly. For our team, the strongest part of their inflight catering was how they handled written menu details. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

Eva W. | FBO operator

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Despite an evening cabin service, we wanted the 5 guests at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport to enjoy a breakfast basket with individual preserves without a complicated cabin service. For in-flight catering, that attention to cabin service sequence made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls updated the crew provisions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The note about the sauces was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight out of Madrid?+

For an official flight from Madrid, what moves the cost is protocol: how many separate boxes, which guests need halal or kosher, and whether an Iberian ham board is on the order. Jamón sliced to order costs more than a tortilla or a gazpacho. We price once the guest list and the aircraft are known.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Madrid–Barajas on a short repositioning flight?+

An empty cabin flying out of LEMD usually needs only crew catering, so the order stays small and easy to place. Late changes to the slot are absorbed, and last-minute orders are handled the same way as any other.

Do customs rules in Spain affect a return leg ordered from Madrid for the way back?+

They can. Spain applies EU rules on meat and dairy, so a return leg ordered here is built around sealed bread, snacks, cured goods in commercial packaging and boxed crew meals, which keeps arrival checks simple. Fresh produce is left off or consumed before landing.

Can you bring food on board at Madrid, given Spanish food-import rules?+

You can, but food arriving from outside the EU may be inspected at the FBO, and fresh meat and dairy are the usual problem. Sealed commercial products pass more easily. Most crews order locally at Madrid so the question never reaches the ramp.

Is catering part of a charter at Madrid, for a crew with a long wait on the ground?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter contract: it is ordered separately and invoiced separately. For a crew waiting out duty time at LEMD, crew meals can be ordered on request, boxed or finished in a crew-room oven, and invoiced like the rest of the trip.
