Catering to your aircraft in Moçâmedes.
A desert airfield on the Namibe coast, FNMO sees business jets on long Angolan legs. We pack for the galley you have, and the handling agent brings it 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.
Namibe Province is desert meeting ocean, and the private jet menu at Moçâmedes follows the water. The cold Atlantic gives local specialities such as grilled Atlantic fish, crayfish and shellfish, and our private jet food starts from what the boats bring in. A private jet menu for FNMO can lean on seafood platters that travel chilled, with lemon and sauce in separate pots so the galley only plates. Hot dishes such as grilled sea bream with rice are packed for the oven and finished on board. Private jet platters of fish, fruit and cold cuts suit a short stop; gourmet inflight meals suit the long Angolan sectors. Private jet snacks cover the cabin: roasted nuts, dried fruit and fresh bread. Every inflight menu is written for your galley, and the passenger count can change late.
Moçâmedes in Namibe Province has a short list of local specialities, and most of them come from the sea. For a private jet menu at Welwitschia Mirabilis International, we pick the fish that holds its texture in a galley drawer: sea bream, grouper and prawns, plated cold or finished in the oven. Private jet food here also means Angolan sides, funge, rice with beans and cassava, packed so the sauce stays apart. Gourmet inflight meals work for dinner on the way back. Private jet platters of tropical fruit and seafood are the easy option. Private jet snacks are packed for the cabin and the cockpit alike. The inflight menu is agreed with your crew before anything is cooked.

Welwitschia Mirabilis International sits at 210 ft on a dry Atlantic coastline, and Moçâmedes works to the rhythm of the fishing fleet. Private jet catering here is built around that catch, packed for your galley and handed over at the aircraft by your handling agent. For inflight catering on a long Angolan leg, the brief usually starts with the return sector. Aviation catering at FNMO covers business aviation catering for charter and corporate tails, executive jet catering for owners' flights, diplomatic flight catering for state movements and cabin crew meals for the people working the trip.
At FNMO, corporate jet catering and business jet catering meet a galley that is often small. VIP flight catering is cooked to be finished in the oven, charter flight catering is packed per seat, and luxury inflight catering uses Namibe seafood. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu once the type and the passenger count are known.
When a state aircraft lands at Welwitschia Mirabilis International, government flight catering follows the protocol office's list. Head of state flight catering is prepared by a fixed team, VIP aviation catering is traceable from kitchen to tray, and state visit aircraft catering stays low-profile on the apron.
Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and other special meals at FNMO are handled as a procedure, not a promise. In Moçâmedes the allergen risk sits in shellfish, fish stock and palm oil sauces, so allergen free and gluten free dishes are cooked and packed apart, and kids meals follow the same card system.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
The crew at FNMO often waits through a long turnaround, so crew meals are an order of their own, on request and billed like any other. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed in crew meal boxes; crew catering gives the captain and first officer different meals for pilots, as the operator's policy requires.
FBO catering at Welwitschia Mirabilis International means catering delivery to the FBO, coordinated with your handling agent for ground handling catering. The general aviation terminal is where the order is handed over, and handling agent catering follows the slot you hold.
Galley catering for Moçâmedes is loaded according to the aircraft: a business jet takes its trays up the stairs by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader booked through your handling agent. Airside catering delivery to a business jet is carried up the stairs; a larger aircraft may need a high loader arranged through your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning is planned around the door height and the galley.

Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
FNMO is the airport of Moçâmedes, on Angola's southern coast, a desert field beside the cold Atlantic. Airport catering respects local produce, and general aviation traffic is light enough that FBO services and ground handling services are personal rather than queued.
Business aviation hub is a big word for FNMO, but the traffic is real: mining, oil support and charter flights into southern Angola. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are both asked for, aviation catering and business aviation catering are packed per galley, executive jet catering suits owners flying in, diplomatic flight catering covers official visits and cabin crew meals feed the people working the leg.
Angolan customs control food imports, and fresh fish, meat and dairy can be held at the border. Local produce bought in Moçâmedes stays legal on the aircraft, but what you carry in needs a declaration through your handling agent. Plan the return sector with the destination country's rules in mind.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Welwitschia Mirabilis International Airport, with 8 servings of vegetarian wraps and colourful salads and a short ground stop to consider. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of side dishes with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. There was enough information about the starters to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I want a private jet chef to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“The 2 passenger portions of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables were the easy part; managing a revised passenger count at FNMO took more planning. The starters came from The Galley Girls in sealed meal containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. My main takeaway from this in flight catering order was the practical approach to galley preparation. Separating the side dishes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Packing a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 3 passengers at MSZ needed careful thought, especially given several individual meal preferences. For inflight catering services, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the canapés before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. We could account for the main courses before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
Menu, passenger count and the number of services set the price. For Moçâmedes, a two-service long leg is quoted dish by dish, with seafood and fresh fruit as the usual swing items.
At FNMO, the departure slot matters more than the calendar. A short turnaround leaves no room for re-checking the galley, so the order is final when we pack. Last-minute requests are handled; send the tail and slot.
Ordering for the way back from FNMO means thinking about customs on arrival. Angolan food import and export rules differ from the destination's, so shellfish and fresh produce are the items to check first.
If the count changes late at FNMO, a catered order flexes where carried food does not. You may still bring food for personal use, subject to Angolan customs and your operator's policy.
The charter does not cover catering. At Welwitschia Mirabilis International you order meals separately, and we can build the menu around one local product, for example grilled sea bream with Angolan sides.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
