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

Lubango on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at SDD

{Region} here means highland Angola, and the table reflects it: Huíla Province beef, maize meal, beans, cassava and seasonal fruit from the plateau farms. A private jet menu for Lubango is honest about that supply instead of pretending to a coastal catalogue.

Take muamba de galinha: chicken, palm oil, okra and garlic, a dish that sits well in a thermal container and finishes in the aircraft oven. Grilled beef with funge, local specialities of the region, ships as sliced meat with the side separate.

For crews who want something lighter, our inflight menu offers gourmet inflight meals, private jet platters of cold cuts and tropical fruit, and private jet snacks that sit in a drawer. Private jet food that is plain and well packed beats an ambitious dish that arrives tired.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Lubango Mukanka International Airport (FNUB)

Crews landing at FNUB step out onto a plateau runway far cooler than the Angolan coast, and the galley plan changes with it. We supply private jet catering to Lubango Mukanka International (SDD) as former cabin crew would want it: business aviation catering handed to your handling agent, diplomatic flight catering cleared before anything is cooked, and inflight catering that finishes in your own oven.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Lubango for business and VIP flights (SDD)

A typical business jet catering order at Lubango is a mining, oil-services or government party flying a midsize jet, often with a long leg ahead. Corporate jet catering here means a plain, well-packed menu: VIP flight catering built on grilled beef, fruit and cold plates, charter flight catering that fits one oven, and luxury inflight catering where the party asks for it. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your headcount, and we pack each item for the galley.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Lubango Mukanka International Airport (SDD)

Special meals at Lubango are a procedure, not a label. Kosher and halal orders are built from sealed supply and kept in their own packaging; vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards. Local cooking leans on groundnut, palm oil and wheat-thickened sauces, so allergen free requests are checked against each recipe. Kids meals follow the same rules, and we set a card on the tray marking each restriction.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Lubango Mukanka International Airport

FBO catering at Lubango is handed over at the general aviation terminal or the aircraft, depending on where your handling agent directs. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated before the slot, with ground handling catering cleared for airside access. Handling agent catering means one contact on the apron who knows your tail and signs for the order.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Lubango Mukanka International Airport (SDD)

At Lubango the size of your aircraft sets how the galley gets loaded. On a light or midsize jet, galley catering goes up the airstairs by hand; a larger cabin may call for a high loader, and you tell us which before the slot. Airside catering delivery runs through the FBO and your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout you describe, oven count included.

About the airportFNUB / SDD

General aviation and airport catering at Lubango Mukanka International Airport (SDD)

FNUB serves Lubango and the surrounding Huíla highlands. Airport catering is built around the aircraft that actually lands: general aviation movements are few, FBO services are simple, and ground handling services run through the handling agent you appoint.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is too grand for Lubango, but it handles corporate, oil-services and charter flights alongside government movements. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are quiet, planned orders: aviation catering for operators, business aviation catering for corporate parties, executive jet catering for the cabin, diplomatic flight catering for delegations, and cabin crew meals for the crew.

Customs & food import

Angola controls food imports at arrival, and fresh meat, dairy and produce are the items customs looks at first. For a departure from Lubango the practical consequence is that sealed, labelled meals clear easily, while anything arriving with you should be declared through your handling agent before landing.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Packing roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 8 passengers at FNUB needed careful thought, especially given a family lunch request. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the sauces, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the breakfast portions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. I would discuss private jet catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Between cabin checks at SDD, I coordinated yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 12 guests and explained our concerns about several individual meal preferences. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates into compact food boxes that were easy to handle. I would discuss private jet catering services with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination. Separating the desserts from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Rather than an elaborate service at Lubango Mukanka International Airport, our 7 guests wanted avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, organised sensibly around two separate meal services. I want a private jet catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The canapés remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

The Lubango Mukanka International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a stop at Lubango while the crew waits on the ground?+

A price for Lubango comes from three things: how many eat, how long the crew waits, and which local or imported products you choose. Beef and plateau vegetables cost less than flown-in seafood. Give us the tail and the plan and we quote it.

What lead time do you need for Lubango when the season decides departures?+

Customs and weather are the two things that shape an order here. In the rainy season the slot may move, so we confirm with your handling agent as it does. Orders placed at short notice are handled.

What do customs mean for catering on a long leg out of Lubango with two services on board?+

For a long leg we pack service one hot and service two chilled, each marked by seat. Customs concerns are handled through your agent, and we supply paperwork on request for what we deliver.

Can you bring food of your own to Lubango, given the departure slot and a short turnaround?+

Bringing food is possible, and customs may look at fresh items. With a short turnaround at FNUB there is little room to sort that out, so most crews order locally and keep their own food for the return.

Is catering part of a charter when you order a return leg from Lubango for the way back?+

A return leg ordered from Lubango is a separate order. The charter price does not carry food, so you tell us the passenger count for the way back, and we build and bill that menu on its own.
