Private Jet Catering at Toulon-Hyères (LFTH / TLN): Guide for Saint-Tropez and the Var Coast
Private jet catering at Toulon-Hyères (LFTH / TLN) is the natural choice for guests heading to Saint-Tropez, the Golden Islands and the beautiful Var coastline. Set between the sea and the hills of Provence, this relaxed airport offers a calm, efficient alternative to the busier Riviera gateways, with long runways suited to a wide range of business jets.
Global Diners prepares VVIP inflight catering from our own production kitchens in Nice, Paris (Le Bourget) and Madrid and from kitchens serving more than 2,500 airports worldwide. This guide brings together everything flight departments and charter operators need to plan elegant catering for arrivals and departures at Toulon-Hyères.
Why Toulon-Hyères appeals to private jet travellers
Toulon-Hyères sits on the Hyères peninsula, close to the Giens coastline and a short boat ride from Porquerolles and Port-Cros. The airport is operated by VINCI Airports and shares its site with a French Navy air base, which gives it generous infrastructure and two runways. For private aviation, the result is a spacious, well-organised airport with a pleasant, unhurried atmosphere.
Its location is its great strength. Saint-Tropez is around an hour away by road, depending on traffic, while Toulon, Bandol, Le Castellet and the vineyards of Côtes de Provence are all within easy reach. Guests enjoy a smooth arrival, a short walk to their car and the scenic drive along the coast.
Saint-Tropez and the Gulf: a scenic road transfer to Ramatuelle, Gassin and Grimaud.
The Golden Islands: Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant, reached by boat from the Giens peninsula.
Toulon and Bandol: the harbour city, the wine estates of Bandol and the coast of Sanary.
Le Castellet: the circuit, the hilltop village and its renowned hospitality.
The airport keeps a calm, human scale. Business aviation passengers are welcomed in a dedicated area with straightforward routing from the aircraft to the car, and the short taxi times make it a pleasant place to begin or end a stay. For crews, the open apron and the clear organisation of the field make turnarounds smooth and predictable, which is exactly what a well-timed catering handover needs. Many guests who know the coast well choose Toulon-Hyères precisely for this relaxed rhythm, combining a quiet arrival with the full charm of the Var.

How catering works at Toulon-Hyères
Every Global Diners order begins with the Global Diners menu card, a single, refined selection of dishes designed for private aviation. Catering for Toulon-Hyères (LFTH / TLN) is prepared by our Nice production kitchen or by our local kitchen, depending on the order, and delivery arrangements at the airport are confirmed with your dedicated quote.
Each item travels in the cold chain, is prepared according to HACCP principles and carries clear allergen labelling. Crews receive everything neatly packed, labelled by service and ready for the galley.
Timing your order
We recommend ordering 24 hours before delivery. Toulon-Hyères works to published opening hours and, like all Riviera airports, welcomes many movements in summer, so a clear delivery time is the key to a smooth handover. Share your estimated departure time and the name of your handling agent, and our specialised team plans the delivery around your schedule.
What to include in your request
Aircraft registration and type.
Airport, date and preferred delivery time (local).
Passenger and crew numbers.
Menu selection from the Global Diners menu card, plus any dietary requirements or allergies.
Name of the handling agent or FBO receiving the catering.
Menu ideas inspired by the Var
The Var coast invites light, sunny dishes that suit the cabin perfectly. Guests flying out of Toulon-Hyères after a stay in Saint-Tropez often enjoy the flavours of Provence one more time: Mediterranean seafood, grilled vegetables with olive oil and herbs, fresh salads, goat's cheese, seasonal fruit and delicate pastries.
For longer flights, a refined main course, a cheese selection and a dessert create a complete dining experience. Our private jet wine pairing guide suggests how a Bandol rosé or red can accompany the menu, with beverages supplied according to local regulations.
Toulon-Hyères is all about a relaxed rhythm: an easy arrival, a scenic drive to the coast and a departure where the catering is waiting, perfectly chilled and ready to serve.
Crew meals for multi-day Var rotations
Summer rotations often keep crews in the region for several days, with Saint-Tropez and the islands as the main destinations. Crew meals can be ordered alongside passenger catering in the same request, with balanced options for duty days and positioning legs. If the aircraft repositions to another Riviera airport, the next order can simply follow the aircraft.
For stays on the islands or aboard a yacht, crews often appreciate a simple plan: a fresh order for the inbound leg, a second order timed for the return, and practical snacks for any positioning flight in between. Our specialised team can prepare each order separately, so every leg has exactly what it needs, packed and labelled for the galley.
Seasons on the Var coast
The season on the Var coast begins in spring and peaks from June to September, when Saint-Tropez, the islands and the beaches welcome guests from all over the world. Autumn brings the vineyards' harvest and calmer, golden days, ideal for wine estates and coastal walks. Winter is quieter and perfect for discreet stays and business trips to Toulon.
Spring: early-season openings, regattas and the first warm weekends.
Summer: the busiest months, when ordering 24 hours ahead is especially helpful.
Autumn: harvest season, sailing events and quieter airports.
Winter: calm, flexible scheduling and business travel.
September also brings the sailing world to the coast. Read our guide to the Monaco Yacht Show by private jet, and for arrivals elsewhere in the region see private jet catering in Paris and the French Riviera.
Event-Season Private Jet Catering at Toulon-Hyères (LFTH / TLN)
On the Var coast, the busiest catering weeks follow the sun and the sea. From June to early October, yacht owners, villa residents and regatta crews converge on Hyères, the islands and Saint-Tropez, and summer weekends bring tight apron space and long working days for handlers. Motor-sport and sailing events add sharp spikes. Plan orders well ahead of the standard 24 hours, confirm passenger numbers as soon as plans settle and agree a delivery time with the handler, especially for afternoon departures when heat builds on the ramp. Chilled boxes, salads and fruit work best in summer.

Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez at Toulon-Hyères (LFTH / TLN): Late September to early October
This regatta brings together classic yachts and modern maxi boats over about a week, and it is one of the most prestigious sailing events in the Mediterranean. Owners, crews and guests arrive from across Europe, and Toulon-Hyères is a common alternative to closer, busier airfields. Book catering early, confirm the return date because many guests stay for the final weekend, and request celebratory platters or champagne-friendly canapés for flights home after the closing prize-giving.
Regatta, race and festival dates shift from year to year, so check the current calendar and confirm timings with our team when ordering.
Local flavours for flights from Toulon-Hyères (LFTH / TLN)
Toulon and the Var share the great Provençal seafood tradition: bouillabaisse and bourride with aïoli, grilled sea bream and red mullet, and sea urchins in winter. Toulon has its own street snack, cade, a thin chickpea-flour pancake similar to Nice's socca. Hyères is surrounded by market gardens and orchards, and the nearby Solliès valley is known for its protected-origin figs. The Saint-Tropez cream-filled brioche, the tarte tropézienne, is a favourite dessert, and Bandol produces structured red wines and rosés, with Côtes de Provence rosé widely available. Fresh lemonades and local fruit juices offer non-alcoholic alternatives. For the cabin, chilled seafood and crudité platters, cold marinated vegetables, olive-oil focaccia, goat cheeses and fig tarts travel well; aïoli and bouillabaisse-style soups are possible in thermal carriers. Restaurant pick-up from the coast and Saint-Tropez is available on request.
