Catering to your aircraft in Belfast.
At George Best Belfast City, business jets share a tight field with scheduled traffic. Our team, all former VIP flight attendants, builds each order around your aircraft and your galley, with Northern Irish produce in the drawers.
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.
Northern Ireland has a short, strong list of products, and most of them travel well in a galley. A private jet menu for Belfast leans on them: Comber early potatoes in season, Ards and Strangford seafood, Armagh Bramley apples, Dundrum Bay oysters, and the breads of the Ulster fry, soda farls and potato bread. An inflight menu built on private jet food from here reads as local, not generic.
Our private jet platters for Belfast pair Glens of Antrim lamb and Irish beef with cold plates of smoked salmon and Dromara cheeses. Gourmet inflight meals use Comber potatoes and Bramley apples, and private jet snacks run to shortbread and wheaten bread. These local specialities are cooked and packed so each guest can be re-plated in the galley without a full kitchen on board.
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.
A weather window over Belfast Lough can move a departure at EGAC with little warning, so the order has to survive a delay. Private jet catering for George Best Belfast City is written with that in mind. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for Belfast stay flexible, and diplomatic flight catering follows the protocol brief before any dish is cooked.
A business jet catering brief at Belfast City is often a corporate group heading to London, Dublin or the Alps. Corporate jet catering here runs on Irish beef, salmon and bakes, with VIP flight catering for the cabin. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering are written by a private jet chef, as a bespoke menu around your guests and galley.
Belfast sees official visits that need quiet handling. For government flight catering, the brief comes through the protocol office; head of state flight catering is traceable from kitchen to cabin, with VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering sealed and counted.
Belfast kitchens lean on wheat, dairy and butter, so allergens hide in soda bread, farls and pastry. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals for EGAC are cooked on separate boards and sealed in their own boxes, marked by seat number. Special meals, allergen free trays and kids meals follow the same procedure, written down before the slot.
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.
For the crew flying out of Belfast City, crew meals are a separate line on the order, requested and billed with it. Flight crew meals travel in labelled crew meal boxes; pilot meals and cockpit meals are eaten with one hand. Crew catering follows the rotation, and different meals for pilots can be asked for. Cabin crew meals are packed on their own.
FBO catering at Belfast City ends at the aircraft: we hand over to the FBO or your handling agent, who takes it airside. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering, so the cart reaches the general aviation terminal apron on your slot. Handling agent catering stays simple when tail and slot are sent in advance.
Belfast City handles business jets and mid-size aircraft, and the type decides the loading. A light jet takes provisions through the cabin door, while a larger cabin needs galley catering on a cart or high loader at the aircraft. Airside catering delivery runs through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the galley, door height and apron space at BHD.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Belfast City is Northern Ireland's city airport, named for a footballer the city still honours. Its general aviation terminal receives business jets beside the scheduled flights, and airport catering for them is arranged around that commercial timetable, with FBO services and ground handling services working in the same rhythm.
Belfast City works as a business aviation hub for the island, and airport catering here follows the weather over the Lough. Inflight catering and in-flight catering arrive for a mix of light and mid-size jets. Aviation catering and business aviation catering shift with the season, executive jet catering follows operator policy, diplomatic flight catering keeps its protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed apart.
Flights leaving Northern Ireland follow UK customs, and food arriving from abroad is restricted, meat and dairy above all. Airport catering prepared in Belfast is compliant for onward flights, and we confirm the contents with your handling agent.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Menu approval at BHD covered roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 2 guests, leaving us to organise the service around limited fridge space. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering services. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the desserts to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the canapés properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Rather than an elaborate service at George Best Belfast City Airport, our 4 guests wanted fresh fruit and breakfast pastries, organised sensibly around two separate meal services. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the snack boxes to arrive in stackable containers. Separating the breakfast portions from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering.”
“Keeping the galley organised at EGAC meant planning roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 12 guests with a short ground stop in mind. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the crew provisions, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering services.”
Pricing starts from the galley and the guests. Out of Belfast, winter departures that may slip are packed with items that hold, such as stews and tarts, while a calm summer slot allows fresh seafood. How much does private jet catering cost here? It depends on that choice, written in the quote.
Belfast is easy for a two-service leg because the produce is steady: lamb, beef, seafood and bakes all keep well. Lead time is set by what you pick and your aircraft, and we take same-day requests 24/7.
A tight slot at EGAC works when customs is handled before arrival. Food bought in Northern Ireland is cleared for onward flights, and we mark each box so a border officer sees what is there at a glance.
If you want the return leg fed, tell us at Belfast City and we pack a second set: cold trays that wait in the drawer, plus a hot dish for the oven. That is simpler than carrying food through customs.
Not as standard. Catering is requested separately from a private jet charter and billed as its own order. A late change in guests at Belfast City simply updates that order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
