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 Castellón de la Plana

Castellón-Costa Azahar belongs to the Valencia community, and the private jet menu starts from its rice cooking. Arroz al horno, arroz a banda and a dry paella all hold well in a galley when the pan is finished in your oven and the alioli stays in its own pot. For an inflight menu that reads as local, the coast gives red prawns, clams and white fish; Castellón de la Plana's orange groves give citrus that turns up in salads and desserts from winter to early spring.

Private jet food from this part of Spain works because it is honest. Local specialities travel well: embutidos and cured sausage from the Castellón hills, almond pastries, and olive oil from the interior. Private jet platters of cured meats, manchego and orange segments suit a short sector, while gourmet inflight meals such as baked rice or a fideuà suit a longer hold. Private jet snacks are the almonds, turrón and fruit that fit a crew bin. Every plate is labelled by seat and finished in your galley, Valencia-community recipes included.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (LECH)

Castellón-Costa Azahar sits at 1,182 ft on a plateau above the Valencia-community coast, and that high, open apron shapes how private jet catering is planned here: orange-season citrus, rice dishes from the region, and a galley brief written before the aircraft rolls in. Around that sit inflight catering for the cabin, aviation catering for the whole trip and business aviation catering for operators who stop at LECH only once or twice a season. We also cover executive jet catering for owner-flown sectors, diplomatic flight catering for protocol movements and cabin crew meals for whoever is working the cabin.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (CDT)

A typical business jet brief at LECH is a small party on a clean sector: business jet catering that is light and local. Corporate jet catering here often means a cold lunch and a hot dish for the longer leg. VIP flight catering for charter flight catering clients is the same recipe with more plating, and luxury inflight catering is a matter of detail. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley you have, and the order is invoiced like any other.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (CDT)

Government flight catering at LECH is done with protocol first: menus cleared in advance, named team, discretion. Head of state flight catering follows the same process, with traceability from kitchen to apron. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering mean sealed trays, seat-number labels and a single contact for the whole movement.

Special meals at Castellón-Costa Azahar start with the local kitchen: rice dishes hide shellfish stock, fideuà carries gluten, and cured meats are the usual surprise for a halal or kosher passenger. Kosher, halal and vegan trays are cooked and sealed on their own board, gluten free and allergen free plates are prepared apart from the main line, and kids meals are portioned small and plain. Tell us the restriction, the seat and the tail, and each tray is marked with the seat number only.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (LECH)

FBO catering at LECH ends at the aircraft: catering delivery to the FBO, then across the apron. The general aviation terminal is the point of contact, and ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent for airside access. Handling agent catering means one call, one slot and a clean handover.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport

Aircraft type decides how the load goes in at LECH. A light or midsize jet takes galley catering through the main door by hand; a heavier aircraft with a high sill may need a high loader arranged through the handling agent. Airside catering delivery here is a short walk across a quiet apron, and aircraft provisioning is agreed with the FBO before the slot, so the right equipment is already at the aircraft when the trolley arrives.

About the airportLECH / CDT

Airport catering at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (LECH)

Castellón-Costa Azahar is a regional airport on a high plateau in the Valencia community, with a small terminal and a quiet apron. For private aircraft it is an easy stop: few movements, a short handover and local produce close to the kitchen.

Business aviation

Airport catering at CDT is shaped by seasons: orange-blossom spring, summer coast traffic, quiet winter. General aviation here is light, so FBO services and ground handling services are simple to arrange. Business aviation hub it is not, which makes inflight catering and aviation catering easy to schedule, while business aviation catering and executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for protocol visits and cabin crew meals for the team all go through the same handover. In-flight catering is finished in your galley.

Customs & food import

Spain applies EU rules on food of animal origin from outside the bloc, so imported meat and dairy can be held at customs. Local produce from Castellón de la Plana avoids the issue. We tell you what can be sourced locally when you order.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“It was the packing plan I cared about at Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport, with 7 servings of a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides and an evening cabin service to consider. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the written menu details had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the crew provisions before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. Knowing where the salads were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“We kept the passenger brief simple at LECH: avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 4 guests, organised with a revised passenger count in mind. I want a private jet catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the snack boxes to arrive in stackable containers. The starters were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 4 guests at CDT to enjoy a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides without a complicated cabin service. After a final adjustment to the desserts, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the breakfast portions was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience.”

Questions crews ask about Castellón de la PlanaAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered here for the way back?+

The cost of private jet catering for a return from Castellón de la Plana depends on the dishes, not the airport. Local produce in season, such as oranges, keeps it moderate; hot service for a large cabin raises it. Order both legs in one message and the quote comes back as a single sheet.

What is the lead time for private jet catering into Spain, given food-import rules?+

Lead time at LECH is mostly about what is being flown in. Food bought locally in Spain moves straight to the galley, while anything coming from outside the EU can be held at customs. Order early if you want imported products; last-minute orders are handled with local produce.

What do customs mean for catering when crew duty time keeps you waiting at Castellón-Costa Azahar?+

When duty time stretches the stop at CDT, we pack crew meals that hold: cold boxes that wait, hot dishes finished in the galley or terminal oven. Spanish customs applies to imported food, not to local produce, so a local menu avoids delay.

Can you bring food into LECH when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

If the count changes, own food is the hard part: no spare portions, no labels, no seat plan. We keep a small margin per menu and re-label by seat, so two extra passengers do not mean two empty plates.

Is catering part of a charter into Castellón de la Plana, and what does the handling agent do?+

Is catering part of a charter? No: a charter into CDT covers the aircraft and the crew, not the meals. Catering is its own line, ordered and billed like any other. The handling agent gives us airside access and the position of the aircraft; we do the rest.
