Catering to your aircraft in Hultsfred.
A small apron, 366 ft above sea level, and a lot of forest around it: that is Hultsfred. We cook and pack for the aircraft, marked by seat, and hand it over at your FBO.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Småland cooking is plain and good, and that suits a galley. For private jet food at Hultsfred we start with fish from the coast of Kalmar län and game from the forests, then add rye, root vegetables and berries. Local specialities such as kalix-style roe, gravlax with mustard sauce and cured elk are plated cold; meatballs with cream sauce and potato purée go through the oven.
A private jet menu for Hultsfred can be Swedish without being a cliché: smoked char, pickled herring in three styles, crispbread, aged cheese and lingonberry. Gourmet inflight meals for a longer leg add venison or a baked root vegetable plate. The inflight menu changes with the season in Kalmar län, and private jet snacks stay simple: nuts, rye crisps, cheese and fruit.
Kalmar län runs from forest to Baltic shore, and the regional table follows it. Private jet platters carry gravlax, smoked eel and cheese; hot dishes include elk stew and potato gratin; sweet items use cloudberries and blueberries. These local specialities are chosen by the month, so the private jet food you see on the menu is what is actually in season around Hultsfred.

Elevation 366 ft, a small apron in Kalmar län and a landscape of forest and lakes: Hultsfred is where private jet catering is built around Småland produce rather than a long terminal menu. Inflight catering here means rye, smoked fish and berries; in-flight catering for a light jet stays compact, and aviation catering for the crew is boxed separately. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering requests are all handled at ESSF, and cabin crew meals can be added to the same order.
At ESSF the cabin decides the menu. For business jet catering at Hultsfred we ask about the oven, the drawers and the seat count, then write a bespoke menu: corporate jet catering with cold plates, VIP flight catering with a hot course, charter flight catering with boxed items. A private jet chef can adapt dishes to the galley, and luxury inflight catering stays plain and precise.
When a government aircraft lands at ESSF, discretion matters more than volume. Government flight catering is cleared by the protocol office first; head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering use ingredients we can trace. State visit aircraft catering is handed to the FBO and the handling agent in sealed boxes.
At Hultsfred the allergen risk sits in the local staples: rye and barley in the bread, dairy in the cream sauces and cheese, fish and shellfish on the cold platters. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free plates are made on a separate board and packed in a separate box, then marked by seat number. Special meals, allergen free trays and kids meals are agreed with the order, so nothing in the galley is guessed.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At ESSF the crew is often the only party aboard, so crew meals matter. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals in separate crew meal boxes, ordered on request and invoiced with the rest. Cockpit meals are made for one hand and a bumpy leg; different meals for pilots are made so the captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering stays simple and labelled.
At ESSF the handover is short and quiet. FBO catering at Hultsfred means catering delivery to the FBO, where your handling agent takes the boxes and walks them to the aircraft door. The general aviation terminal is the contact point, ground handling catering follows your slot, and handling agent catering on a small field stays simple: each box is labelled before it leaves the kitchen.
Hultsfred handles light and mid-size business jets, so the aircraft type decides the loading. Galley catering is brought to the aircraft door on a trolley or carried in hard boxes; for larger cabins a high loader can be arranged through your handling agent. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with the FBO, and aircraft provisioning is matched to the oven, drawer and chiller space you actually have.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Hultsfred Airport in Kalmar län is a small Swedish field used mainly by light aircraft and the occasional business jet. For airport catering it is a field where ordering ahead matters, since there is little around the apron. General aviation here is modest, and FBO services and ground handling services are limited in scale, so we plan with your handling agent.
Hultsfred is not a busy business aviation hub, but it sees corporate and private flights, mostly in light and mid-size jets. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are small, precise orders; aviation catering is built around Kalmar län produce, and business aviation catering stays discreet. Executive jet catering suits four to six seats, diplomatic flight catering is cleared with protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed separately.
Sweden is in the EU, and customs and food import rules follow EU practice: meat, dairy and plant products from outside the bloc need care. For Hultsfred we label every box with an ingredient list so your handling agent can show it. Local produce such as fish, rye and berries is simple to carry.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Getting a cheese board and savoury canapés ready for 11 guests at Hultsfred Airport required an order that accounted for a small galley worktop. My main takeaway from this in-flight catering services order was the practical approach to crew briefing. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the salads, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the desserts before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“Small packing details became important at ESSF: our 12 passengers wanted a cold lunch with cheese and fruit, and we had several individual meal preferences. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the aviation catering arrangements. The Galley Girls suggested divided catering boxes for the canapés, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the snack boxes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“The 2 passenger portions of mini sandwiches and individual desserts were the easy part; managing a small galley worktop at HLF took more planning. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the starters, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the fruit plates before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. For our team, the strongest part of their aviation catering services was how they handled crew briefing.”
A Kalmar län menu can be modest or lavish. How much private jet catering costs at ESSF is decided by the dishes: smoked char and rye, or venison and cheese tart. We price what you pick and invoice it separately.
A short positioning leg with an empty cabin often means only crew meals. Lead time at Hultsfred is easiest when you tell us early which items you want; last-minute orders are handled and the FBO receives the handover.
Swedish customs follow EU practice, with extra care for meat, dairy and plants from outside the bloc. One local product, such as smoked fish, travels easily, while the rest is checked with your handling agent.
Yes, within customs rules. For an empty-cabin positioning flight into Hultsfred, most crews prefer boxes already labelled, so the only job in the galley is re-plating or opening.
No, and that matters at Hultsfred. Charter and catering are separate; if you want cloudberry dessert or smoked char on the flight, you order it and we invoice it as a catering order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
