Private Jet Catering Prague (LKPR / PRG): Václav Havel and Vodochody (LKVO / VOD) Departures
Private jet catering in Prague (LKPR / PRG) serves a capital that welcomes business aviation all year: bankers and lawyers heading to the New Town, technology founders, government delegations, music lovers arriving for a concert at the Rudolfinum and families discovering the city for the first time. Most business aircraft use Prague (LKPR / PRG) on the western edge of the city, while Vodochody (LKVO / VOD), a quieter airfield north of the capital, serves manufacturing, delivery and selected business flights. Each airport has its own rhythm, and each departure deserves the same calm preparation.
Global Diners prepares VVIP inflight catering in our own kitchens in Paris, Nice and Madrid and in our kitchens across more than 2,500 airports, Prague included. This guide is written for cabin crew, dispatchers and operators: how the two Prague airports work for catering, which Czech flavours travel well, how the city's calendar shapes the year, and how to order with confidence for every departure from Bohemia.
Václav Havel Airport: the main gateway for business aviation
Václav Havel Airport is the Czech Republic's main international airport and the natural choice for most business jets, from light jets on a short hop to Vienna to long-range aircraft departing for the Gulf, Asia or North America. Its business aviation area is served by several FBOs and handlers, and the drive to the Old Town, the Lesser Town and the business districts is short, which makes day trips particularly popular.
For catering, Prague's strength is its variety of missions. A Monday morning shuttle to Frankfurt calls for a light working breakfast, a Friday evening departure to London for a relaxed dinner, and a long-range flight to Dubai for several services and crew meals. Our specialised team reads each request as a mission, not simply as an airport, and delivery is coordinated with your FBO or handler at the time agreed for your departure.
Corporate shuttles: working breakfasts and light lunches for one- to two-hour sectors to Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux.
Government and institutional flights: discreet presentation, clear labelling and halal, kosher or alcohol-free menus on request.
Cultural and leisure trips: relaxed menus with Czech touches for passengers returning from the opera, a concert or a weekend in the Old Town.
Long-range departures: several services, crew meals and a balanced rhythm for sectors to the Middle East, Asia or the Americas.
Vodochody: a quieter airfield north of Prague
Vodochody lies just north of the capital in Central Bohemia, on the Vltava side of the city. It is best known as the home airfield of an aircraft manufacturer, so its movements are mostly linked to production, test and delivery flights, with business visitors connected to the industry and to the region. For these flights, catering is usually practical and elegant at the same time: working-lunch boxes, sandwiches and cold platters for long duty days, crew meals and a well-presented Czech selection for visiting guests.
At Vodochody, delivery is coordinated with the local ground handler or the point of contact agreed for your flight. Our team confirms the delivery point and time in writing, so the crew knows exactly where the catering will be waiting. The town of Mělník, at the meeting of the Vltava and the Elbe, is only a short drive away, and its small wine country adds a charming regional note to the menu, subject to local rules.
Airport | Typical missions | Global Diners catering focus |
Prague (LKPR / PRG) | Corporate shuttles, delegations, cultural trips, long-range departures | Working breakfasts, Czech tasting boards, several services for long sectors |
Vodochody (LKVO / VOD) | Manufacturing, test and delivery flights, industry visitors | Working-lunch boxes, crew meals for long duty days, cold Czech selections |
Brno (LKTB / BRQ) | Moravian business trips, trade fairs, wine country visits | Light European menus, Moravian wines subject to local rules |
Czech flavours that travel well
Czech cooking is generous and comforting, and several of its classics translate beautifully to the cabin. Chlebíčky, the small open sandwiches of Prague delicatessens, topped with ham, egg, potato salad, cheese and pickles, make an elegant cold platter for short sectors. Prague ham, Czech cheeses and pickled vegetables form a tasting board that suits a late-afternoon departure, and a warm goulash or svíčková, braised beef with a creamy root-vegetable sauce, becomes a comforting main course on a longer flight when sauces are packed separately and reheating guidance is included.
Desserts are a highlight. Koláče filled with poppy seed, plum or sweet cheese, apple strudel, medovník honey cake and the thin Karlovy Vary spa wafers are perfect with coffee in the cruise, or packed as a small gift for passengers. Moravian wines and Czech beers can be added subject to local rules, alongside excellent local mineral waters and alcohol-free options. Caviar, smoked salmon, cheese and pastries from the Global Diners menu card remain available on every flight, and every item is labelled for allergens.
Prague rewards passengers who arrive curious. A few Czech touches on board turn the flight into the first chapter of the visit.
The Prague year: concerts, film, light and Christmas
Prague's calendar has a gentle rhythm with a few lively highlights. In spring, the Prague Spring music festival brings orchestras, soloists and patrons to the Municipal House and the Rudolfinum. At the turn of June and July, guests of the Karlovy Vary film festival often fly into Prague and continue by road to the spa town in western Bohemia. October brings the Signal festival of light art, and from late November the Christmas markets on the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square welcome visitors from across Europe until the New Year celebrations.
During these weeks we recommend ordering a little earlier than the usual 24 hours and sharing passenger numbers as soon as they are known. Our guide to winter destinations for private jet catering offers more ideas for festive-season menus, and our article on government and diplomatic flight catering explains how we prepare institutional flights.
Prague as part of a Central European itinerary
Many Prague missions continue to another Central European city. Brno, the Moravian capital, is a short flight or a pleasant drive away and opens the door to the wine villages of South Moravia. Vienna (LOWW / VIE) is less than an hour's flight to the south, and Munich, Berlin and Warsaw are all close. When the same team prepares catering for each leg, preferences travel with the itinerary: a favourite tea, a dietary requirement, a preferred breakfast, noted once and respected at every stop.
Our guide to European business aviation airports shows how the same ordering routine applies from city to city, with delivery coordinated with your FBO or handler at each airport and planeside delivery at our own kitchens in Paris and Nice.

Prague International Marathon at Prague (LKPR / PRG): May
The Prague Marathon runs through the historic centre, crossing the Vltava several times, and attracts runners and supporters from across Europe. On race morning, we plan the delivery time with a comfortable margin between the city and the airport. Many runners appreciate balanced, protein-rich meals and fresh fruit for the flight home, and sealed individual boxes make post-race departures straightforward. Ordering early in race week keeps the full menu choice open.
Festival and market dates in Prague and Bohemia vary from year to year, so please confirm the current timings with our team when you order.
Dining and shopping near Prague (LKPR / PRG)
Czech cooking is hearty, with roast duck, svíčková beef in cream sauce, dumplings and goulash, best paired with the country's famous lagers or local non-alcoholic options. Prague's restaurant scene now spans modern Czech tasting menus, wine bars stocked with Moravian bottles and relaxed cafés. Pařížská Street, lined with luxury fashion houses, runs from the Old Town Square, while Na Příkopě offers department stores and international brands. Bohemian crystal, garnet jewellery and handmade marionettes are classic purchases.
Local flavours for flights from Prague (LKPR / PRG)
Czech food is hearty and well suited to colder weather. Svíčková, braised beef in a creamy root-vegetable sauce with dumplings, and Czech goulash are signature dishes best enjoyed on the ground. For the cabin, chlebíčky, small open sandwiches topped with ham, egg, potato salad and pickles, are a Prague classic and look attractive on a tray. Prague ham, often served with horseradish, and aged cheeses suit a cold board. Koláče, round pastries filled with poppy seed, plum jam or sweet cheese, make a good breakfast or dessert. Spa wafers from Karlovy Vary are a traditional gift. Czech beer, especially Pilsner from Plzeň, is internationally known, Moravia produces white wines, and Becherovka is a herbal liqueur. Elderflower and fruit syrups offer non-alcoholic choices. Bakery or restaurant pick-up is available on request.
Also nearby: Vodochody (LKVO / VOD)
Vodochody Airport lies just north of Prague in Central Bohemia, on the Vltava side of the capital. It is best known as the factory airfield of aircraft manufacturer Aero Vodochody, so movements are dominated by manufacturing, test and industrial flights, with occasional business visitors connected to the aerospace sector. For passengers, it offers access to northern Prague and to the Central Bohemian countryside, including the wine town of Mělník, Kokořínsko's sandstone landscapes and the Elbe valley. Traffic is specialised and low in volume, and arrangements for each flight are made with the airfield in advance.
Prague's historic centre, with Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square astronomical clock, is a short drive south. Closer to the airfield, the town of Mělník sits on a hill above the confluence of the Vltava and the Elbe, with a château, vineyards and a viewing terrace over the valley. The Kokořínsko protected landscape offers walking trails through sandstone rock formations and the romantic Kokořín Castle. Troja Château and Prague Zoo lie on the city's northern edge, and the Vltava riverside trails suit cycling and walking on long summer evenings.
