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

The Zurich table, packed for private jet catering

Zurich eats well on the ground, and Dübendorf is where the private jet menu has to travel well in the air. An inflight menu for LSMD leans on what keeps its shape in a galley: Zürcher Geschnetzeltes with Rösti, Bündnerfleisch, Swiss cheese boards, Birchermüesli for breakfast, Basler Läckerli and Swiss chocolate to finish.

Private jet food for Zürich is mostly about restraint: clean flavours, good bread, dairy that tastes of the Alps. We build private jet platters from air-dried beef, Gruyère and Appenzeller, and gourmet inflight meals from Zürich veal and wild mushroom sauces. Private jet snacks run to nuts, dried fruit and Läckerli. These are the local specialities of Zürich, written for a Dübendorf slot rather than a restaurant table.

A field with a military past, 1,470 ft up above Zürich: that is Dübendorf, LSMD, and the first thing to settle for private jet catering is who opens the apron gate and where the trays change hands. We write the menu for your galley, from inflight catering to in-flight catering for a second service on a long leg. Aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all run through one order, taken 24/7.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Zurich for business and VIP flights (LSMD)

Business jet catering at LSMD usually follows a Zürich-bound brief: a corporate jet with six passengers, a slot early in the day and a galley with one oven. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here lean on cold plates and a single hot course. Charter flight catering is ordered separately from the aircraft, luxury inflight catering is written around the cabin, and a private jet chef builds a bespoke menu from Swiss produce.

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Dübendorf Air Base (LSMD)

FBO catering at Dübendorf ends with a handover to the FBO or your handling agent, at the aircraft on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO goes through the general aviation terminal and across the apron. Ground handling catering follows your handling agent's access rules, and handling agent catering is coordinated by phone with the person on shift.

About the airportLSMD

Airport catering at Dübendorf Air Base (LSMD)

Dübendorf Air Base is a former Swiss Air Force field on the eastern edge of Zürich, now used for business and general aviation. Airport catering here serves a mixed apron of private jets and helicopters with one standing rule: the galley decides the menu.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Dübendorf covers a field that few outside Zürich know. Aviation catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering share one order, from executive jet catering for a short corporate hop to diplomatic flight catering for an official arrival. Private jet owners ask for cabin crew meals alongside guest trays. The field is a business aviation hub in the Zürich area, with FBO services and ground handling services in a former military setting.

Customs & food import

Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, and meat, dairy and eggs arriving from abroad are tightly regulated. For an order at Dübendorf, that means local sourcing keeps things simple, and leftover animal products from an inbound leg are often discarded.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Keeping the galley organised at LSMD meant planning grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 2 guests with limited fridge space in mind. With private jet catering, careful attention to crew briefing matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. After a final adjustment to the sauces, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The breakfast portions remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“With a changing departure schedule to consider at Dübendorf Air Base, we needed a practical way to serve smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit to 10 passengers. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet catering services. The salads supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. We could distinguish the starters at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

Ivan L. | Royal family manager

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“My order at Dübendorf Air Base covered yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 9 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the salads readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the side dishes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. I want a private jet catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Before you order at LSMDAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg out of Dübendorf with two services on board?+

On a long leg out of Dübendorf, cost is set by the second meal. Breakfast Läckerli and cold cuts are modest; a hot course with Rösti and sauce apart adds galley work and product. Private jet catering priced this way stays honest: you see which dish pushes the invoice up.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Dübendorf, given Swiss food-import rules?+

For LSMD, lead time follows the customs picture. A Swiss menu clears on its own, while an imported item has to be checked against Swiss food-import rules first. Orders placed late are still handled; say so when you write and we work around the constraint.

What happens with customs on a long leg from Dübendorf with two services on board?+

The practical customs point for a two-service leg is that a full second meal travels back unopened if the passengers skip it. Swiss import rules on animal products can stop that food re-entering the country, so we pack realistic quantities and let your crew decide on extras.

Can you bring food from outside onto a flight from Dübendorf, given Swiss customs and import rules?+

Can you bring food is a fair question on a Zürich departure. Your own packed meals are carried, but animal products arriving from abroad are restricted under Swiss rules. We cover the gap with a local order, plated for your galley.

Is catering part of a charter into Zurich on a long leg with two services on board?+

The private jet charter price does not extend to the galley. Into Zürich, you order catering by phone or email, we confirm the menu for the tail, and the invoice reads like any other order. Two services on a long leg are simply two lines.
