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

What New Cairo brings to your in-flight catering (CCE)

Capital International is the gateway to New Cairo and the wider Cairo Governorate, and the private jet menu here leans on what Egypt does best: slow-cooked, grilled, herbed and generous. Our inflight menu draws on local specialities such as mezze, grilled kofta and kebab, stuffed vine leaves and warm flatbread, and we build private jet food around how each dish behaves in a galley. Dates, figs and citrus from the Nile valley travel well and finish a meal without an oven. Sweet pastry like basbousa and kunafa is packed so it can be re-plated cold or lightly warmed. Every dish is chosen for the Cairo Governorate table, then adapted to your passengers, so a local speciality arrives as a plate your crew can serve in a few gestures.

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

Capital International Airport sits on the eastern desert plateau at 761 ft, where the ramp stays dry and hot for most of the year, and that shapes every tray we pack. Private jet catering here means cold plates that survive afternoon heat, hot dishes sealed for your oven, and cabin crew meals labelled by seat. We also cover inflight catering and in-flight catering for government and delegation arrivals, as well as aviation catering for corporate movements. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same rule: pack for the galley you have. Diplomatic flight catering is handled with a named team and discreet handover.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Capital International Airport (HECP)

Business jet catering at Capital International is usually written around a short stay and a return leg. Corporate jet catering orders for New Cairo often pair a mezze spread with a grilled main, and VIP flight catering adds a plated course for the principal. Charter flight catering follows the same plan with a lighter, boxed option. For luxury inflight catering our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the cabin size, the diets on board and the hour of departure.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Capital International Airport

Government flight catering at HECP runs through protocol before it runs through a kitchen. Head of state flight catering is traced by named staff and handed over discreetly, VIP aviation catering follows the delegation's approved list, and state visit aircraft catering is packed in sealed, labelled trays. New Cairo is where many official arrivals land, so the order is cleared in advance and invoiced on its own.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Capital International Airport

Special meals at Capital International are handled as a procedure, not a promise on a label. Egyptian cooking leans on sesame, nuts, dairy and wheat, so allergen free dishes get their own board and their own packing. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are marked by seat number on the plan we receive, and kids meals are packed separately from the adult trays.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Capital International Airport (CCE)

At HECP the crew eats on the ramp's schedule, not the menu's, so crew meals are packed accordingly. Flight crew meals travel in labelled boxes, pilot meals stay simple, and crew catering is added to the order on request. Cockpit meals are designed for the seat, crew meal boxes stay cold or warm as marked, and different meals for pilots mean two plates, not one. Cabin crew meals ride on the same order and the same invoice.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Capital International Airport

Catering delivery to the FBO at HECP is a short chain: the handling agent, the general aviation terminal and the aircraft. FBO catering is signed for at the terminal, ground handling catering follows airside, and handling agent catering covers the last step to the stairs. A sandstorm or a hot ramp changes how we cover the trays, not who receives them.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Capital International Airport (CCE)

Capital International handles aircraft of all sizes, and the type decides how the galley is loaded. For larger cabins, galley catering is brought airside and loaded by high loader through the handling agent; for light jets, trays go up the stairs by hand. Tell us the type and we plan the airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning to match the door height and the galley layout.

About the airportHECP / CCE

About Capital International Airport (HECP): aviation catering and general aviation

Capital International Airport serves New Cairo and the administrative capital area, and airport catering here follows the pattern of a newer airport: wide aprons, a modern general aviation terminal and a steady flow of corporate and official traffic. FBO services and ground handling services work with the handling agent, so your order is delivered where the aircraft stands.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub traffic at Capital International is a mix of corporate shuttles, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations and charter movements from the Gulf and Europe. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders are common, and business aviation catering, executive jet catering and cabin crew meals are usually requested together on the same sheet.

Customs & food import

Egyptian customs controls food coming in on aircraft, so catering for a flight landing at HECP is best ordered locally, delivered airside through the handling agent and cleared with the ramp pass. We pack sealed, labelled trays that are simple to inspect and match the order list you send.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“With a family lunch request to consider at CCE, we needed a practical way to serve avocado toast components and breakfast fruit to 2 passengers. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of canapés with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the main courses listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering services.”

Sarah C. | Royal family manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Our priority at Capital International Airport was avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 3 passengers, with a short ground stop shaping the service plan. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the fruit plates had been grouped. The breakfast portions went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. I want an aviation catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“As the person coordinating poached fish with steamed rice for 2 passengers at HECP, I needed an arrangement that considered two separate meal services. The Galley Girls kept the salads separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. The crew provisions stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Before you order at HECPAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Capital International?+

The question usually comes down to the aircraft. Bigger galleys allow chef-style plating, trolleys and more courses; smaller ones mean tighter packing and simpler service. We tell you which side of that line your jet falls on, then price the menu, not the tray.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at HECP?+

Child meals and allergen free dishes are the ones that need care, because they must stay apart from the main kitchen run. Send the diet card early; the rest of a New Cairo order is flexible and last-minute changes are handled.

Do customs affect private jet catering at Capital International?+

Customs is mostly your handling agent's world: they arrange the ramp pass, the vehicle and the inspection, and we pack to make that inspection simple, with sealed, labelled trays by seat.

Can you bring food into Egypt on a private jet?+

You can, but customs in Egypt controls what enters, and fresh items often do not pass. For HECP, ordering here is simpler than clearing a cabin full of imported trays.

Is catering part of a charter into New Cairo?+

No: catering sits on its own order and its own invoice. That matters most on delegation flights into New Cairo, where the menu has to be cleared by protocol before anything is cooked.
