Catering to your aircraft in In Aménas.
In Aménas is a desert apron where food has to hold its temperature on its own. We prepare for crews working DAUZ, from the ground handling agent to the cockpit, and deliver to the aircraft.
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.
The private jet menu for Zarzaitine - In Aménas Airport draws on the food of Illizi Province and the wider Algerian Sahara, because that is what a passenger arriving from the oilfields or Algiers expects to find. Local specialities travel well when you choose them with a galley in mind: couscous with lamb or vegetables, kept apart from its broth; chakhchoukha, torn flatbread that goes on the plate only at the last moment; and dates from the southern oases, which make a clean private jet snack that needs no heat or tray. Our inflight menu pairs these with Mediterranean basics, grilled chicken, saffron rice and fresh salads, so private jet food stays familiar for mixed crews and delegations. Gourmet inflight meals are plated cold or finished in the oven, with sauces in their own pots and bread packed dry. Private jet platters of cheese, cured meat, fruit and Algerian pastries cover the long sectors out of Illizi Province, and every local speciality is tagged for how it finishes in the galley.
Menus for In Aménas start from the Sahara, not from a generic hotel list. A private jet menu here can hold mechoui-style roast lamb carved cold for sharing, mderbel or ratatouille-style vegetable dishes, and semolina sweets with honey and almonds; each is a local speciality we pack so it survives a hot apron and a long climb. Inflight menu choices lean on dates, olives, flatbread and mint tea service, because they hold their quality without a trolley. Private jet food for Illizi Province also covers the simple requests, grilled fish, plain rice, fresh fruit, for passengers who want something light after a day on a gas site. Gourmet inflight meals come labelled by seat, private jet snacks sit in sealed boxes for the cabin, and private jet platters are sized to the headcount you give us.

Zarzaitine - In Aménas Airport sits at 1,847 ft in the Illizi Province, and most of the traffic on its apron is tied to the surrounding gas fields. Private jet catering here is planned around that rhythm: rotating executive charters, long sectors back to Algiers or Europe, and a galley that has to carry its own cold chain. Whether you call it inflight catering or in-flight catering, the brief is the same: food that survives desert heat on the apron and still looks right at altitude. We treat aviation catering for DAUZ as a packing problem first and a menu second, with business aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering for the principals, and cabin crew meals boxed separately for the people working the flight.
Business jet catering at In Aménas usually follows a gas-sector schedule: corporate jet catering for visiting executives, charter flight catering on rotation, and VIP flight catering when a delegation arrives. Luxury inflight catering here means sensible portions that travel well, designed by a private jet chef working from a bespoke menu for your cabin and your galley at DAUZ.
Government flight catering at In Aménas serves ministry and regional delegations. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow protocol: named team, traceable ingredients, discreet handover. State visit aircraft catering is cleared with your protocol office before anything is cooked.
Special meals at In Aménas follow a procedure, not a label. Local cooking leans on semolina, wheat flatbread and nuts, so gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and packed on a separate board, with sauces apart. Halal is the default for lamb and chicken in the region; kosher meals travel sealed and are opened only by the passenger. Vegan and vegetarian plates use vegetable tagine and rice, and kids meals keep to plain pasta, rice and fruit. Each special meal is marked by seat number on the box.
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.
For crews working IAM, crew meals are an order of their own. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals arrive in crew meal boxes labelled for the flight deck; crew catering covers the cabin as well, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks. Cabin crew meals are boxed apart from passenger trays.
At IAM we deliver to the FBO and, with your handling agent, to the aircraft. FBO catering is arranged through ground handling catering contacts, with catering delivery to the general aviation terminal and handling agent catering confirmed before the slot.
Which aircraft lands on the IAM apron settles how the cabin gets stocked. Smaller business jets take galley catering by hand through the main door, while larger cabins may need a high loader for airside catering delivery at the aircraft. We coordinate that aircraft provisioning with your handling agent on the apron, so trays, boxes and drinks go into the galley you actually have, not the one on the spec sheet.
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.

DAUZ is the airport for In Aménas, a small desert town in Illizi Province. Airport catering for general aviation uses FBO services and ground handling services at the terminal, serving a quiet business aviation hub.
Much of the traffic at IAM is corporate: inflight catering for energy-company charters, in-flight catering for executive visits, aviation catering for operators, and business aviation catering for flight departments. Executive jet catering suits senior passengers, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed separately.
At In Aménas, customs concern what crosses the border. Catering cooked in Algeria and handed over at the FBO avoids import issues, while your handling agent advises on anything declared.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“We kept the passenger brief simple at DAUZ: vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 4 guests, organised with limited fridge space in mind. I would discuss charter flight catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination. The sauces supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the starters identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Packing avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 3 passengers at IAM needed careful thought, especially given a late menu amendment. The order made private jet food feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the snack boxes to arrive in individual containers. Separating the sandwiches from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Our priority at Zarzaitine - In Aménas Airport was a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 11 passengers, with a changing departure schedule shaping the service plan. I asked The Galley Girls for the starters in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the desserts ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the private jet meals arrangements.”
A night departure at Zarzaitine - In Aménas shapes the bill more than people expect. Chilled platters and sealed private jet snacks cost less than plated gourmet meals finished in your oven, so the answer to how much does private jet catering cost starts with the menu you choose for that slot.
For lead time, think about the single local item that makes the menu: Deglet Nour dates are always at hand, while a specific regional dish needs a conversation. Zarzaitine - In Aménas is straightforward once the product is named, and late requests are handled.
Algeria controls food imports tightly, and In Aménas follows national rules. A late change in passengers means we adjust trays and boxes, while your handling agent deals with any declaration for food carried in from abroad.
Bring what you like for yourself, but for the whole cabin we suggest ordering here. A return leg from Zarzaitine - In Aménas can be catered in one order, so nothing foreign has to clear customs.
Catering sits outside a private jet charter. At IAM we handle it as its own order, sized to your departure slot and how long the aircraft stays on the ground.
