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 Kuito for your inflight catering

Kuito stands in the Bié highlands, and the local table follows the plateau: maize, cassava, beans, groundnuts and river fish from the interior. A private jet menu for Kuito leans on those ingredients, adapted so they survive a galley. Our inflight menu pairs a chicken muamba with its palm-oil sauce kept apart, funge portioned by seat, and grilled tilapia that re-plates cold or finishes in the oven. Private jet food from Bié Province works best when the sauce travels in its own pot and the starch is packed flat. These local specialities sit beside private jet platters of tropical fruit and cold cuts, gourmet inflight meals built around a stew, and private jet snacks of roasted groundnuts and dried banana. Whatever you pick, we cook and pack it for the galley your aircraft actually has.

Bié Province is a cool plateau, and its cooking is built on slow stews, corn and cassava. For a private jet menu at Kuito, we write the inflight menu around that: muamba de galinha, funge, bean stews, grilled river fish, and the fruit that comes up from lower country. Private jet food in this region is hearty by nature, so the work is in the packing: sauces apart, starch portioned, fish chilled and re-plated. These local specialities are offered as private jet platters for a cold lunch, gourmet inflight meals for a hot service, and private jet snacks such as roasted groundnuts and cassava crisps. Each is marked by seat number and handed over with the order for Kuito.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Kuito Airport (FNKU)

Kuito Airport sits on the Bié plateau at 5,618 ft, where cool nights and thin air shape every flight in and out. Private jet catering here starts with a galley that has to cope with altitude, a night departure and a handover through your handling agent. For inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at FNKU, you send the tail, the slot and the headcount; business aviation catering is cooked and packed to your aircraft's galley. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same route: ordered, invoiced, handed over at the aircraft.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Kuito Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Kuito usually means a small group on a corporate jet with a short brief: a light lunch, fruit, coffee. Corporate jet catering here is written around what the galley can manage, VIP flight catering adds a named team, and charter flight catering follows the same order with its own invoice. Luxury inflight catering stays plain when the cabin calls for it: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the local table, such as grilled tilapia with lemon and cassava salad.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Kuito Airport (FNKU)

Official aircraft arriving at Kuito bring a passenger list and a protocol office. For government flight catering and head of state flight catering, we work from that list, cook after clearance, and deliver sealed. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are handled by the same small team, from order to handover.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Kuito Airport

Special meals for Kuito are a procedure, not a label. In Bié cooking the hidden allergens are groundnuts, which turn up in sauces and snacks, and fish stocks in stews. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each cooked on a separate board, sealed in their own box and marked by seat number only. Tell us the restriction with the order and we write the menu around it.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Kuito (SVP)

Between legs out of Kuito, the crew is the last to eat. We offer crew meals on request, billed with the order: flight crew meals in crew meal boxes, pilot meals in two different dishes for the flight deck, and cockpit meals that need no cutlery. Crew catering and different meals for pilots are written into the order, and cabin crew meals are labelled to keep them apart from guest trays.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Kuito Airport

At FNKU, the order reaches the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are arranged with the tail and the slot; the general aviation terminal is a short walk to the apron. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are handled in one call to us.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Kuito Airport (SVP)

What goes through the door at Kuito depends on the tail: a turboprop and a larger jet are not loaded the same way. A turboprop or light jet takes boxes through the cabin door, while a larger airframe may need a high loader at the galley door. Galley catering is packed to the galley you actually have: one oven, a drawer, or none. Airside catering delivery runs through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail before the slot.

About the airportFNKU / SVP

General aviation and airport catering at Kuito Airport (SVP)

Kuito Airport, FNKU or SVP, serves Bié Province in central Angola and works as a small business aviation hub for official, corporate and charity flights. Airport catering here suits a modest terminal and a long runway at altitude; general aviation is the main traffic, and FBO services and ground handling services are run through the handling agent.

Business aviation

Kuito is a plateau stop for business aviation: cool mornings, dry seasons, the odd rain. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered for the cabin, aviation catering for the whole aircraft, and business aviation catering for corporate trips. Executive jet catering suits owners, diplomatic flight catering suits delegations, and cabin crew meals and crew meals keep the galley team fed, all through the FBO services and ground handling services on the field.

Customs & food import

Angola controls the import of fresh meat, dairy and produce, and arriving aircraft can be checked at Kuito. Food prepared in-country and handed over through the FBO services and ground handling services at this small business aviation hub avoids most of that friction. Declare what you carry and let your handling agent deal with waste.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Rather than an elaborate service at SVP, our 4 guests wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes, organised sensibly around a short ground stop. Our brief for aviation catering services was met with a sensible plan for portion planning. The Galley Girls labelled the side dishes in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The starters were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Nerea U. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Service planning came first at Kuito Airport, with 5 passengers choosing a charcuterie board and fresh bread and a changing departure schedule influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls prepared the desserts for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The snack boxes stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. I want an aviation catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Jessica H. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“My order at FNKU covered prawn salad and small fruit plates for 11 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of several individual meal preferences. I asked The Galley Girls to review the canapés quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. There was enough information about the salads to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience.”

What crews ask before KuitoAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a night departure from Kuito?+

How much private jet catering costs at Kuito depends on dishes, seats and any special meals. The slot matters for logistics, not for price. A simple order for a crew of three and four passengers is quoted line by line, and invoiced as one order.

What is the lead time for a delegation or government flight at Kuito?+

A government flight to FNKU usually has a fixed passenger list and fixed restrictions, which makes ordering simple once we have the tail and the slot. Menus are cleared first, cooked second. Late changes are handled.

What about customs when catering for a flight into Kuito?+

Customs at Kuito follow Angolan rules on animal products and fresh produce arriving on international flights. Ordering catering here means the meals are prepared in-country, which avoids carrying restricted items through the terminal. Declare anything you bring.

Can you bring food to the aircraft yourself at Kuito?+

At FNKU, whoever opens the airside door decides what comes through. Food you carry yourself may be questioned; food ordered through us arrives with the handling agent already informed.

Is catering part of a charter into Kuito, and what about a special-meal request?+

Is catering part of a charter into Kuito? Not as a rule: the charter prices the aircraft, and catering is ordered and invoiced apart. Special meals, kosher, halal, allergen free or kids, are handled as part of that separate order.
