Which FBOs at Istrana Air Base (LIPS) do you deliver to?

We coordinate inflight catering at LIPS with the handling agent or FBO confirmed on your flight plan. Delivery is arranged either to the FBO facility or directly planeside, depending on aircraft parking and apron access. Please share handling details when you place the order so we can align the handover with your departure slot.

What is the shortest notice you can typically accept at Istrana Air Base?

Same-day orders are confirmed case-by-case, depending on menu complexity, galley requirements, and the morning production schedule in Sečovlje. Advance notice allows us to source seasonal ingredients, coordinate airside access at Istrana Air Base, and align delivery with your departure clearance. For tight turnarounds, contact us as early as possible.

Can you accommodate specific dietary and allergen requirements?

Yes. Every private jet catering order is labelled with ingredient detail, and menus are adapted for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, or other dietary profiles. Chef Layla Georgiou works in an allergen-controlled production environment, with separate stations and documented procedures to reduce cross-contact. Specific requests are confirmed in writing before preparation begins.

Do you offer high-loader service at Istrana Air Base?

High-loader service for aviation catering at LIPS is available where the ramp operator confirms equipment and scheduling. Larger cabin configurations and charter operations often require high-loader access, which we arrange with the handling agent at the time of order. Availability depends on apron workload and the departure window, so early coordination is recommended.

How do I place an order for a flight departing Istrana Air Base (LIPS)?

Contact us with your departure time, passenger count, dietary requirements, and handling agent details. We'll confirm the menu, prepare the order in Sečovlje under Chef Layla Georgiou, and coordinate airside delivery to Istrana Air Base. You'll receive a packing list, allergen summary, and galley reheating instructions with every order.

Chef Layla Georgiou — service from Sečovlje to Istrana Air Base

Tiago Rossi oversees twelve to sixteen departures each week, depending on the slot list and delegate volumes. He confirms galley oven specification, portions per seat, and allergen labelling with your crew before preparation begins. Tiago coordinates the airside handover directly with your FBO or handling agent, confirming badged access, delivery timing against your pre-flight sequence, and ramp-side transfer at the aircraft door where the apron layout permits. Cold-chain control is maintained from packing to galley stowage.

Background

Rossi adapts the culinary heritage of egg pasta, aged cheese, and cured pork to the demands of private jet catering. The chef structures menus around textures that travel well and flavors that remain clear at cabin pressure. Each dish honors the balance between richness and digestibility, designed to be finished in galley ovens without loss of integrity. Service unfolds with the precision expected in executive aviation.

How to order aviation catering for a departure from LIPS

Government and head-of-state flights require discretion, confidentiality of the manifest, delegation volumes accounted for in advance, and security of the airside handover confirmed with your handling agent. Lead time is typically twenty-four hours for a full brief and custom preparation; shorter notice is absorbed where galley and cold-storage capacity allow. You order private jet catering by confirming passenger count, aircraft type, oven specification, departure slot, and any allergen or dietary restrictions. A private jet catering quote follows within two hours.

Jet catering Istrana (TV) — production and timing

When the manifest is confidential and the delegation exceeds forty passengers, the kitchen preparing your order for Istrana Air Base (LIPS) operates under documented protocol at every stage. Business aviation catering for government flights requires discrete handling: allergen labelling on every sealed tray, cold-chain control from plating through handover, and same-day production timed against your departure slot. Dedicated cold rooms maintain separation by client and by dietary requirement. The pâtisserie and garde-manger posts work to your final count, not an estimate. Private jet catering at LIPS supports head-of-state movements and delegation volumes with the same rigour: no manifest detail leaves the facility, and every seal is intact at delivery. You receive what was briefed, on your schedule, without variance.

Packaging is designed for refrigerated hold and cabin service, with no need for advance plating where you prefer tray assembly inflight.

Badged drivers coordinate with your FBO or handling agent to confirm the handover point: at the FBO desk or ramp-side at the aircraft door, timed against your fuelling and pre-flight checks. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are delivered on the same airside run. High loader capability is confirmed at the time of order for large-cabin aircraft requiring galley access at height.

Flight catering menus prepared for departures from LIPS

Your crew confirms the cabin configuration, the galley capacity, and the number seated. The private jet menu adapts to what the aircraft can hold: individual trays for mid-size cabins where galley space is tight, plated service for larger layouts, family-style platters when the flight deck requests shared service. The inflight menu changes as the season turns—what is available fresh this week shapes what can be portioned and packed. Cold plates are built to hold across a long leg; hot mains are portioned for convection ovens with documented reheat instructions.

Local calendar

Private jet catering around Milan Fashion Week and Design Week

Late February, late September, and April bring concentrated charter activity to Istrana Air Base as crews position for Milan Fashion Week and Salone del Mobile. The apron fills quickly, PPR slots tighten, and handling agents compress turnaround windows. Your private jet catering order benefits from earlier lead time during these periods—galley staging must align with fuel uplift and pre-flight checks, and high-loader availability becomes less predictable under heavy ramp traffic. We recommend confirming menus and delivery timing as soon as the departure slot is approved, so production in Sečovlje can be scheduled ahead of the morning wave and catering reaches the aircraft without delay.

Milan Fashion Week

late Feb / late SeptNearby · MilanHeavy demand

On the field

During Milan Fashion Week, you should expect increased traffic at Istrana Air Base as operators divert from saturated Milan airports, resulting in tighter apron availability, mandatory PPR, and extended handling coordination times with the military base authority.

What we do about it

Fashion industry delegations bring stylists, PR teams, and buyers on the same manifest—rarely just principals. That breadth drives private jet catering orders with multiple dietary requirements and tighter turnaround windows. We map crew meals and cabin service around your block time, not the other way round.

Salone del Mobile / Design Week

AprilNearby · MilanHeavy demand

On the field

During Salone del Mobile week, you should expect increased positioning requests at Istrana and tighter coordination with military handling, as the base serves as overflow for Venice-area design traffic when Treviso and Marco Polo reach capacity.
