Which handlers at CHQ can you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler or fixed-base operation holds your aircraft at CHQ — no prior account and no handling-company restriction. Provide the handler name and bay reference when you place your order and we coordinate access directly.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at CHQ?

Yes. Same-day requests are a regular part of operations at Chania, particularly during the peak summer season when schedules compress. Send your request to us and we confirm within 10 minutes; for very short windows, call directly so we can assess what is achievable against your departure slot at CHQ.

How are crew meals handled at Souda?

Crew meals for LGSA departures are built around the rotation — balanced, properly packaged, and priced for operator accounts rather than passenger menus. They are loaded with the main order as standard; no separate dispatch, no separate invoice line unless the crew order is placed independently.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian, and allergy requirements at CHQ?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal options are available on every menu at CHQ. Kosher orders require a minimum of 24 hours' lead time and must be confirmed at the point of request. Note all dietary requirements clearly in your order; our coordinator will confirm each one before the delivery window closes.

How do I place an order for a CHQ departure?

Send your request — airport, date, departure window, passenger count, and any dietary requirements — through the order form or directly to your coordinator. We confirm within 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. For same-day or short-notice uplifts at Chania, a direct call is faster.

What does private jet catering at CHQ cost?

Pricing depends on menu selection, passenger count, service configuration, and lead time — there is no fixed rate card. We send a full quote for any CHQ order in under 10 minutes. Crew meals are priced separately at operator rates on request.

Inflight Catering · Souda

Inflight catering for Souda flights

Chania's markets are among the most honest measures of what Cretan agriculture actually produces: Kalamata-adjacent olive oils pressed from Koroneiki groves, wild thyme honey from the White Mountains, and aged *mizithra* from small dairies in the Apokoronas hinterland. These are not decorative touches — they are the backbone of a regional kitchen that has been feeding travellers for three thousand years, and they board at CHQ as they leave the producer. The prefecture also runs deep into the Aegean wine map: Vidiano and Kotsifali from the Heraklion plateau reach Chania's better suppliers within the day, and *tsikoudia* — the island's unaged grape spirit — appears on galleys more often than anywhere else in the Greek island network. We build menus that carry that provenance intact, whether the flight is heading west to Western Europe or east along the Aegean arc toward the Gulf.

Regional Catering Menu · Souda

Souda private jet catering

A *dakos* assembled to order — rusk, strained Cretan *anthotyros*, vine-ripened tomato, dried oregano — travels better than most cold starters and arrives at the plate tasting of the island rather than the galley. For hot mains, slow-braised lamb shoulder from the Sfakia uplands carries well in high-loader trays; paired with *stamnagathi* greens wilted in olive oil, it reads as a complete regional statement. Pâtisserie follows the *loukoumades* tradition translated into service-ready form: honey-drizzled fritters, sesame *pasteli*, and *kalitsounia* filled with sweetened *mizithra* — compact, cabin-suitable, zero compromise on origin.
