Private jet catering at Zürich Airport (LSZH / ZRH), Zurich

Catering to your aircraft in Zurich.

Zurich is a slot-driven field where a tight turn can leave you minutes at the ramp, and winter de-icing can move a departure without notice. We cook and pack for the galley you actually fly, labelled by seat, and hand it over to your handling agent.

Local specialities from Zurich for your inflight catering

Zurich sits in the German-speaking heart of Switzerland, and the private jet menu that works here is built on what the canton and its neighbours do best. Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, veal in cream and mushroom sauce, is the dish everyone expects, and it travels well if the sauce is packed in its own pot and the rösti is crisped separately so it does not steam in the box. A good inflight menu for this field starts with that, then moves to lighter things for the galley that has no oven.

Private jet food from the region is simple and precise. Bündnerfleisch, air-dried beef from Graubünden, slices thin and is served cold, perfect for the drawer. Alpine cheeses from Appenzell and Gruyère arrive in portions that cut cleanly by seat. Bircher muesli, invented in Zurich, is a breakfast that holds overnight in a sealed pot and needs no heat.

For the sweet course, Swiss chocolate is the obvious answer, but the local specialities worth packing are the nusstorte from Engadin and Basler Läckerli, which survive pressure changes better than cream desserts. Lake fish such as perch fillets from Lake Zurich are possible for a hot course, but only if the galley has a proper oven and the crew knows the reheat time. Seasonal produce matters here: white asparagus in spring, chanterelles in summer, game in autumn, and root vegetables in winter. We pack what the season gives, and we say plainly when a product is out of season rather than substitute something dull.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Zürich Airport (LSZH)

Zürich's night-flight restrictions mean the last departures leave on a short leash, and the food has to be ready before the tug arrives. Private jet catering at LSZH is built around that clock: inflight catering packed for your oven, in-flight catering labelled by seat, aviation catering handed to the handling agent. For business aviation catering on a Gulfstream or Global, executive jet catering follows the tail's galley. Diplomatic flight catering runs on a cleared menu, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Zürich Airport (ZRH)

Zurich's business aviation traffic is corporate and financial first: bankers heading to London or Dubai, delegations during the World Economic Forum weeks, owners based on Lake Zurich flying out of the general aviation terminal. Business jet catering here usually means a clean, quiet menu for a short brief — a corporate jet catering order for four on a Challenger that wants a cold lunch and a good coffee. VIP flight catering for longer legs adds a hot course the crew can re-plate in two minutes. For charter flight catering the headcount often changes at the gate, so we keep a margin of cold plates that hold. Luxury inflight catering at LSZH leans on Swiss produce: Bündnerfleisch, alpine cheese, Zopf bread still warm from the morning bake. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around a single passenger's rule, such as no dairy before a meeting, and label it with the seat number so you serve without reading.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Zürich Airport

Government flight catering at Zurich is mostly delegations, ministers and visiting officials in town for the forums and the banking calendar. Head of state flight catering follows the protocol office's schedule: a menu is cleared before anything is cooked, a named team prepares it, and the handover is made at the aircraft with discretion. VIP aviation catering for these flights keeps allergen records and traceability on the paper, not in your head. State visit aircraft catering adds sealed packs and a second set for the return leg. We do not name guests or discuss the manifest; you tell us the tail, the slot and the restrictions, and the rest stays quiet.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Zürich Airport

Kosher and halal orders at Zurich are common because of the forums and the banking visitors, and the procedure follows the local kitchen: dairy is everywhere in Swiss cooking, so lactose and gluten free handling means a separate board, a separate box and a label that says so. Vegan, allergen free and special meals are packed apart from the guest trays, with a seat number on each. Kids meals are simple and sealed. Where a restriction is strict, tell us before we order the produce, not at the gate.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Zurich (LSZH)

Crew meals at LSZH are ordered with the flight, on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals for a Zurich turn are built for people who will eat standing at the jumpseat: pilot meals that hold, crew catering in boxes that go in the cockpit without a tray, cockpit meals that need no fork until the descent. We pack crew meal boxes with CREW marked clearly, and different meals for pilots can be set up so captain and first officer never share a dish when your operator's policy asks for it. A Zurich winter turn can run long, so we include something that holds warm.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Zürich Airport (LSZH)

FBO catering at Zurich goes to the general aviation terminal, where the handling agent receives the order and meets your aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is timed to your slot, not ours, and ground handling catering means a passenger door and a security pass. Handling agent catering at LSZH requires airside escort, and we arrange it so the box arrives at the aircraft and not at the gate. Tell us the tail, the slot and the terminal, and we coordinate the rest. Orders are best placed ten hours before departure where possible, and last-minute orders are handled.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Zürich Airport

Galley catering depends on the aircraft. A Citation or Phenom takes a small crate through the passenger door, while a Global, a Gulfstream or a Boeing business jet needs a high loader for airside catering delivery. Aircraft provisioning at Zurich is arranged with the handling agent so the vehicle is at the aircraft when the door is open, not after. Tell us the type and the galley, and we pack accordingly.

About the airportLSZH / ZRH

About Zürich Airport (LSZH): aviation catering and general aviation

Zurich is Switzerland's largest airport and its main gateway for business aviation, with a general aviation terminal that takes corporate and charter traffic apart from the scheduled flow. Airport catering for the bizjet side is arranged through the handling agent, and the night restrictions make slot discipline part of every order. General aviation traffic peaks around the World Economic Forum and the big banking dates; FBO services and ground handling services stay busy through winter, when de-icing can stretch a turn.

Business aviation

Zurich is a business aviation hub shaped by banking, pharma and the forums. Inflight catering orders here lean toward cold, precise plates that survive a delay, while in-flight catering for long departures to Dubai or New York often adds a hot course. Aviation catering at LSZH works around the night curfew and the ground handling services schedule; business aviation catering follows corporate calendars. Executive jet catering suits owners flying their own tails, diplomatic flight catering suits delegations, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are requested with the flight.

Customs & food import

Switzerland sits outside the EU customs union, so food crossing the border follows Swiss customs rules. Meat and dairy from outside Europe are restricted and fresh produce may be checked. Catering loaded at Zurich for an outbound flight is ordinary export; stores that stay on board on an inbound flight are handled under aircraft stores rules, and your handling agent and the ground handling services desk can confirm what may remain. Tell us the route and we will say what stays on the aircraft.

Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.

Leave a review

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“I wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 6 guests at LSZH, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls suggested clearly marked packs for the crew provisions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. The breakfast portions were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. My main takeaway from this charter flight catering order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence.”

Antoine D. | Government flight manager

BBJ

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“My order at ZRH covered chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 6 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a revised passenger count. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the salads and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The sandwiches went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. For private jet food, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

James V. | VIP flight attendant

Learjet 75

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Between cabin checks at Zürich Airport, I coordinated smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 7 guests and explained our concerns about two separate meal services. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the side dishes, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet meals. I found the snack boxes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

Asked before every LSZH slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Zurich?+

Zurich private jet catering cost depends on three things we can see: the aircraft's galley, the produce in season, and the number of seats. A chanterelle risotto in autumn is a different order from a cold board in winter. How much does private jet catering cost in practice? We quote after you send the tail.

What is the lead time for catering at Zurich?+

Our lead time for Zurich is ten hours before departure where possible. Because a headcount often moves just before the door closes, we pack a few extra cold portions. Last-minute orders are handled, and we tell you if a specific product cannot be had.

What are the customs rules for catering at Zurich?+

Customs at LSZH apply Swiss food rules. A larger galley means more product on board, so more to declare on an inbound flight. We tell you what to expect before you land.

Can you bring food to the aircraft at Zurich?+

If you want to bring food at LSZH, you can, but ordering through us avoids security delays at the gate. A late change in the number of seats is easier to absorb when we deliver to the aircraft than when you carry a box through the terminal.

Is catering part of a charter at Zurich?+

Is catering part of a charter at Zurich Airport? It is a separate order, billed on its own. The aircraft's galley tells us what we can pack.
