Catering to your aircraft in Djanet.
Djanet is a small oasis airfield with a short season of charters, and a galley bound for the Tassili needs food that survives a hot apron. We pack by seat and label, and your crew handles the finish.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Djanet Province is oasis country: palms, date groves and the sandstone plateau of the Tassili n'Ajjer, and the local specialities reflect Tuareg cooking. A private jet menu built here leans on taguella, the flatbread baked in hot sand, dates from the oasis, and mint tea served in small glasses.
For an inflight menu, we adapt what Djanet actually eats. Private jet food from this region means lamb and vegetable stews, couscous with dried fruit, and fresh bread, packed so they re-plate cleanly in a light jet galley. These local specialities in Djanet Province travel better than most people expect.
Ask for a private jet menu in Djanet and we start from dates, almonds and the spiced tea of the Tuareg south, then add whatever your passengers prefer. The inflight menu is cooked for your galley, with local specialities from Djanet labelled for the cabin crew who serve them.

At 3,176 feet in the Tassili n'Ajjer, Tiska Djanet receives expedition charters, oil-sector shuttles and the occasional state flight, and private jet catering here has to cope with a desert galley and a bare apron. We write it for the flight attendant who restocks before a hot sector, covering inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for business aviation catering requests, plus executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation lands, and cabin crew meals boxed separately for the aircrew.
A corporate jet catering order for Djanet often means a small group, a desert itinerary and a galley with one oven. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu and adapts business jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering around it.
When a state delegation lands at DAAJ, government flight catering is planned with the protocol office. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule: named team, sealed trays, no public exposure.
Desert cooking is naturally rich in legumes, dates and grilled meat, which helps for halal, vegan and gluten free requests, but flour, nuts and sesame turn up in many local dishes. Kosher, special meals, allergen free and kids meals are boxed separately, labelled by seat number only, and written against the diet card you send with the seat plan.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Flight crew meals at Djanet are ordered with the flight and billed with it. Pilot meals and cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes, crew catering is marked CREW, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator wants them.
FBO catering at Djanet is delivered through the general aviation terminal: catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering and your handling agent catering contact, so the trays meet the aircraft on the slot.
Aircraft arriving at Djanet range from light jets to larger airframes on expedition or government charters, and the aircraft type decides how galley catering is loaded. We check door height and whether a high loader is needed for airside catering delivery, and agree aircraft provisioning with your handling agent before the slot.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Tiska Djanet is a regional airport serving the Algerian Sahara. As airport catering goes, it is simple: one runway, a small general aviation ramp, and business aviation hub traffic only in season, with FBO services and ground handling services arranged by your agent.
Inflight catering at Djanet is planned around the visit, and in-flight catering is sized to the cabin. Aviation catering and business aviation catering use the same plane-side route, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed apart.
Algerian customs inspect food on arrival, so catering should be sealed, labelled and declared; ingredient lists help. Your handling agent can confirm what is permitted before the slot, and we pack to that.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at DAAJ, where 10 guests expected a charcuterie board and fresh bread despite limited fridge space. I needed the sauces checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. Our brief for in-flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation. We checked the side dishes against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“Despite a late menu amendment, we wanted the 12 guests at DJG to enjoy avocado toast components and breakfast fruit without a complicated cabin service. The meal organisation stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering. The snack boxes from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
“One detail shaped our order at Tiska Djanet Airport: a late menu amendment, alongside a request for fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 4 passengers. I would discuss aviation catering services with them again, especially when portion planning needs careful coordination. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates into individual containers that were easy to handle. Separating the salads from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
A Djanet menu built around local bread, dates and spiced rice costs less than one flown in from elsewhere, and we quote from the actual list rather than a rate card. That is how private jet catering cost works at DAAJ.
Groups heading to the Tassili often add or drop guests late. We handle that: lead time is about the menu and the slot, and late changes in passenger numbers are taken.
Customs depend on direction: food entering Algeria faces inspection, and a return order placed from Djanet must pass the destination's rules. We label every tray by contents and seat.
Passengers sometimes arrive with their own food. At Djanet, the departure slot and turnaround length decide whether it is loaded, so tell us in advance and we plan around it.
No. Catering is not part of the charter at Djanet: it is its own order, invoiced like the rest. If your flight has two services on board across a long leg, tell us and we pack them as two labelled stages.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
