Catering to your aircraft in Växjö.
Växjö Kronoberg is a quiet field where one corporate jet and a few regional movements share the apron. We build the trays around the season, the aircraft and your crew, and deliver to your handling agent.
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 is forest, lake and glass country, and the private jet menu for Växjö follows it. A private jet menu here starts with smoked and cured fish, game from the Kronoberge län woods, and root vegetables that hold their shape in a galley. The inflight menu leans on local specialities such as kroppkakor, the Småland dumpling, and ostkaka, the soft cheesecake served warm with jam. Private jet food from Växjö is packed so each dish finishes the way the galley allows: oven, sauce apart, or chilled. Private jet platters of smoked salmon, västerbotten cheese and rye crispbread travel well on a short sector, and gourmet inflight meals can be built around crayfish in August when the season opens. For private jet snacks, we pack lingonberry-sweetened oat bars, salted nuts and fruit. Every local speciality is described for the galley, not the restaurant.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Växjö Kronoberg sits in the Småland forests, a quiet field where a corporate jet taxis in beside a handful of regional movements, and the galley question is always the same: what survives a short sector and a cold apron. For private jet catering at ESMX we cook and pack for that galley and hand over through your FBO. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering here lean on Småland produce, while inflight catering and in-flight catering for a diplomatic flight catering brief or a plain crew rotation follow the same labelled trays. Aviation catering for the cabin and cabin crew meals ride the same order.
At ESMX the people flying are usually executives visiting the glass and furniture industries of Kronoberge län. For them we deliver business jet catering and corporate jet catering with local produce, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for visiting delegations, and luxury inflight catering where requested. A private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu that fits the galley.
Official and state visits to Växjö are rare and always handled through the protocol office first. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering run on named staff and traceable ingredients. VIP aviation catering stays discreet, and state visit aircraft catering is cleared before anything is cooked.
At Växjö the local kitchen leans on dairy, wheat flour and fish, so that is where allergens hide: browned butter on dumplings, flour in a sauce, a shared board for smoked fish. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals, plus kids meals, are cooked separately and packed in their own sealed box, marked by seat, so a restricted tray never sits beside the guest trays.
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.
Crew meals at Växjö suit a short turnaround on a cold apron, boxed or plated, hot or cold, and are only supplied on request and invoiced with the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed to be eaten from one hand between checks. Crew catering for ESMX stays simple, cockpit meals come in their own marked bags, and crew meal boxes carry no passenger labels. When policy asks for it, we pack different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish.
At ESMX the handover is at the aircraft, through the FBO. Catering delivery to the FBO and FBO catering follow your slot, the general aviation terminal is the meeting point, and ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent, who clears access to the apron. Handling agent catering is simply the last step before the cabin door.
Here at Växjö, what you fly in sets how the trays go aboard. A light or midsize jet takes galley catering by hand through the cabin door, while a larger airframe may need a high loader for airside catering delivery, and your handling agent tells us which. Aircraft provisioning here is planned around the galley of that tail: oven or no oven, drawer space, chiller. We pack to match, and the FBO and handling agent confirm access to the apron.
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.

Sitting at 610 feet in the Småland uplands, ESMX serves the region's industry with a compact terminal. Airport catering for business aviation is built around that: a short walk from FBO to apron, a small handling team, and general aviation movements that arrive in ones and twos.
Executive jet catering and business aviation catering at Växjö are shaped by season: frost and snow in winter, long light over the lakes in summer. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for charter or corporate arrivals follow what the galley can finish, aviation catering stays simple, diplomatic flight catering is rare and arranged through protocol, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order. FBO services, ground handling services and general aviation make ESMX a small business aviation hub.
Sweden follows EU rules on imported food, so meat and dairy from outside the Union are restricted and onboard leftovers from a non-EU leg may need disposal. For your order at ESMX, locally cooked food avoids the issue, and your handling agent confirms customs details for the arrival.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“For 6 passengers departing from Växjö Kronoberg Airport, the agreed menu was avocado toast components and breakfast fruit; our main consideration was limited fridge space. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the sandwiches could be arranged during service. The snack boxes stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”
“Several practical details needed attention at ESMX, with herb chicken with a quinoa salad requested for 12 guests and limited fridge space to accommodate. I would discuss charter flight catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination. The canapés came from The Galley Girls in shallow trays, with a packing list that matched the contents. Separating the sauces from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“My order at VXO covered herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of several individual meal preferences. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the salads and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the sandwiches were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. I would discuss private jet food with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination.”
Because the number of guests can change right up to boarding, we price per dish and per portion rather than per flight. A cold lunch sits at one end, a hot dinner with local game at the other. Final seat count sets the final invoice.
At Växjö lead time is mostly a question of produce and slot. Crayfish season or fresh game needs a clearer plan than a snack box, but late requests are still taken. Give us the aircraft type and we adapt the menu to its galley.
Inbound food from non-EU origins runs into Swedish and EU limits on animal products. Ordering at ESMX keeps the galley clean of that, and if your count moves at the last minute we simply load more or less. Check leftover handling with your handling agent.
Yes, within customs rules, but think about where it goes: drawer, chiller or oven. At Växjö most aircraft are compact, so catering built for the galley tends to work better than a mixed set of outside boxes.
No. Whoever books the flight on a private jet charter should expect to arrange food on its own, with its own invoice, because catering is not part of a charter. If your passenger count shifts at the last minute, we adjust what is loaded.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
