Catering to your aircraft in Béjaïa.

Béjaïa's field sits at 20 ft between the gulf and the Kabylie hills, and the catering follows: fish from the harbour, olive oil from the slopes, packed for your galley. We cook for the crew who have to serve it.

Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Local specialities from Béjaïa for your inflight catering

Béjaïa is a fishing port first, and a private jet menu built here starts with the catch: sea bream, sardines and prawns from the gulf, usually grilled and packed with the sauce apart. These are the local specialities we reach for when a guest asks what Béjaïa tastes like.

Inland, the Kabylie hills supply the olive oil, figs and honey that anchor our inflight menu. Private jet food from this region is simple, seasonal and generous: private jet platters of mezze, couscous and roast lamb, gourmet inflight meals that reheat cleanly, and private jet snacks of figs and almonds. We write each one for the galley on your aircraft.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Soummam–Abane Ramdane Airport (BJA)

Executives landing at DAAE often want something local and light. Our business jet catering team turns Kabylie olive oil and Béjaïa seafood into corporate jet catering that suits a short cabin. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same approach, with luxury inflight catering where the brief calls for it, a private jet chef and a bespoke menu.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Béjaïa (DAAE)

When a delegation lands at Béjaïa, the catering has to be invisible: no names on labels, no loose trays. Our government flight catering team handles head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering with named staff, and a state visit aircraft catering order stays confidential from first brief to handover.

Halal is the default in local kitchens, and we handle kosher, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals on separate boards and boxes, marked by seat number.

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Soummam–Abane Ramdane Airport

FBO catering at Soummam–Abane Ramdane is handed over at the aircraft through your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO and the general aviation terminal follows the slot you give us. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the apron door opens on time.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Soummam–Abane Ramdane Airport (BJA)

Soummam–Abane Ramdane is a regional field, and the aircraft type decides how the load goes aboard: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and what the galley can hold. For a larger cabin we plan galley catering and airside catering delivery around a high loader; for a light jet the aircraft provisioning is a few trays carried up the stairs.

About the airportDAAE / BJA

Aviation catering and business aviation at Soummam–Abane Ramdane Airport (BJA)

Soummam–Abane Ramdane is the main airport serving Béjaïa, a port city on Algeria's Mediterranean coast, and a modest business aviation hub rather than a busy one. Airport catering here takes its character from the gulf and the Kabylie slopes, and general aviation traffic comes in waves with the season. FBO services and ground handling services are small-scale, so a clear brief goes a long way.

Business aviation

Business aviation into Béjaïa is mostly seasonal and mostly discreet, with a business aviation hub feel in summer and near silence in winter. We plan aviation catering and business aviation catering around the weather and the slot. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all handled on request here, and crew meals ride on the same order.

Customs & food import

Algerian customs treat food on board as an import, so catering should be sealed, labelled and listed on the declaration. For a business aviation hub of this size, one agent usually handles the paperwork, and we pack with that in mind. Last-minute orders are handled, always with the same documentation.

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Clear quantities were essential at Soummam–Abane Ramdane Airport: we had 10 passengers expecting roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings and were working around limited fridge space. The canapés came from The Galley Girls in compact food boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the sauces to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. Our brief for private jet catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement.”
Pedro M. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Menu approval at DAAE covered yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 9 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the main courses readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand. We left the snack boxes stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
Abigail V. | FBO operator

★★★★★CHARTER
“Working around different crew meal preferences at BJA, I asked for fresh fruit and breakfast pastries in portions appropriate for our 11 passengers. I want a private jet catering company to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The side dishes remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

Before you order at DAAEAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin out of Béjaïa?+

Repositioning out of BJA with nobody in the back means you are paying for crew trays and perhaps a snack box. Price the dishes you choose, not the leg: grilled fish costs more than a vegetable tagine, and we quote each line.

What lead time should I allow for a larger aircraft with a bigger galley at DAAE?+

What sets lead time here is how much the aircraft can store and finish on board. A galley with two ovens and a chiller lets us pack more; a bare galley means cold dishes. We adapt, and last-minute orders are handled.

How do customs work for a kosher or allergen-free special-meal request into Béjaïa?+

Algerian customs treat food on board like any food import, so a sealed kosher or allergen-free tray should stay in its packaging and be listed on the general declaration. We label each special meal by seat number, which makes inspection simple.

Can you bring food through the FBO, and what does the handling agent decide at Soummam–Abane Ramdane?+

The agent at the general aviation terminal decides what goes airside. We coordinate catering delivery to the FBO with them, and any food you bring can be added to the same handover.

Is catering part of a charter into Béjaïa, given the customs rules for food in Algeria?+

A charter flight to BJA does not come with a menu. Catering is ordered and invoiced on its own, and Algerian customs expect imported food to be identifiable, so we label each tray by seat or crew.
