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.

Linköping on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at ESCF

Östergötlands län is farm country: grain fields, orchards and lakes, with Lake Vättern close to the west. A private jet menu for Malmen leans on that larder. Our inflight menu builds on Vättern char and crayfish, the freshwater fish of the region, plus Östergötland lamb and venison from the forests, served as private jet food that travels well. Local specialities such as Östgöta kroppkakor, the potato dumplings of the province, become a hot dish with sauce apart. Private jet platters carry smoked fish, cheeses and cured meats; gourmet inflight meals follow the Swedish season, and private jet snacks include knäckebröd, lingonberry sweets and cinnamon buns. Linköping and Östergötlands län supply the base, packed for a small galley.

For Linköping and the wider Östergötlands län, our private jet menu starts with what grows and swims here: Vättern char, game, root vegetables, rye and berries. The inflight menu is written by season, so August gets crayfish and chanterelles while February gets slow-cooked venison and root mash. Private jet food from this region reheats well, which suits a galley with one oven. Local specialities like kroppkakor with lingonberries and cured salmon go onto private jet platters; gourmet inflight meals are plated at the aircraft; private jet snacks cover crispbread, hard cheese and cinnamon pastries. Everything is labelled for the cabin crew.

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

Malmen sits at 308 ft in the Östergötland plain, and a business jet arriving at ESCF is a guest on an air base, so everything is arranged through the FBO and your handling agent. Private jet catering here means a galley brief written for Linköping: cold plates for a Swedish winter, light summer plates for the long evening. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all follow one order, packed for the aircraft you fly. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering for state visits share the same route to the aircraft, with cabin crew meals ordered alongside.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Malmen Air Base (ESCF)

State visit aircraft catering at ESCF needs discretion more than anything: a small team, a clean chain from the kitchen, and trays handed over at the aircraft. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering follow the protocol office's list, and VIP aviation catering for Linköping follows the same route.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Malmen Air Base (ESCF)

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are handled as special meals, each cooked and packed apart from the other trays. For Sweden, allergen free means watching hidden traps: wheat in crispbread, dairy in brown butter, nuts in baked pastries, and fish stock in sauces. Kids meals follow the same labelling, with seat numbers on the lids.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Malmen Air Base

On a short Linköping stop, crew meals are the first thing skipped, so we pack flight crew meals to be eaten on the jumpseat. Pilot meals and cockpit meals sit apart from passenger trays, and crew catering is added on request and invoiced as part of the order. Crew meal boxes come labelled CREW, with different meals for pilots if their policy asks. Cabin crew meals for ESCF are ordered the same way.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Malmen Air Base (ESCF)

Access to an air base is controlled, so FBO catering at Malmen goes through the handling agent first. We coordinate the catering delivery to the FBO and the general aviation terminal, with ground handling catering matched to your slot. Handling agent catering at ESCF ends with trays at the aircraft steps.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Malmen Air Base (ESCF)

Malmen is an air base, so the aircraft type decides how galley catering reaches the cabin. A light jet takes trays through the main door, while a larger aircraft may need a high loader on the apron, agreed in advance with your handling agent. Airside catering delivery runs through the FBO on the base side, and aircraft provisioning is matched to the galley: one oven, a drawer, or a full chiller.

About the airportESCF

General aviation and airport catering at Malmen Air Base (ESCF)

Malmen Air Base, ESCF, is the military airfield of Linköping in Östergötlands län, used by the Swedish Air Force and by business aircraft by arrangement. For airport catering, it behaves as a general aviation field with strict access, and FBO services and ground handling services decide how food reaches the apron.

Business aviation

Visitors to Linköping's industries and the Swedish defence sector use ESCF as a business aviation hub by arrangement. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are matched to small cabins, aviation catering and business aviation catering to the slot, executive jet catering to short stays, diplomatic flight catering to protocol flights, and cabin crew meals to the rotation.

Customs & food import

Sweden follows EU rules on imported food, and on an air base customs run through the handling agent and the FBO. Meat, dairy and fish from outside the EU are restricted, so we plan the menu around what clears cleanly on arrival at Malmen.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“An order of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 9 people at ESCF had to be organised around an evening cabin service. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the side dishes and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The main courses went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. The galley preparation stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Choosing mushroom risotto and a green salad for 6 people at Malmen Air Base was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with several individual meal preferences. I needed the sandwiches checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure. The note about the side dishes was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Timing and organisation mattered at Malmen Air Base, where our order of a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 5 people involved different crew meal preferences. For private jet catering, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage. The salads supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. We could distinguish the snack boxes at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Ordering for ESCF, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered from Malmen?+

The way back from ESCF has no standard price: a six-guest cold lunch for the return and a full hot dinner for eight are two different invoices. We quote by dish, and a seasonal item such as crayfish in August changes the figure.

What is the lead time for a kosher or halal special meal at Malmen?+

Lead time for dietary orders here is about sourcing, not the date: halal and kosher products need certified suppliers, while a nut allergy or a kids meal can often be arranged late. We confirm every special meal with you, and last-minute requests are handled.

What do customs require for food on a return leg from Malmen?+

For a flight returning from ESCF, customs depend on where you land. Local Swedish food bought here travels as EU goods within the Union; leaving the EU, ask your handling agent about meat, dairy and fish. We label everything clearly for inspection.

Can you bring food of your own on a flight from Malmen, such as a special meal?+

Yes, passengers can carry their own food, but a special meal packed outside the aircraft's galley rules may be refused at the apron. For a restriction like halal or allergens, an order through us keeps the labels and seat numbers consistent.

Is catering part of a charter on a return leg to Linköping?+

No, food is never inside the charter price. When you want a meal on the way back from ESCF, order it from us, and the invoice shows the menu alone, apart from the aircraft.
