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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Marsa Alam

Red Sea Governorate gives Marsa Alam a pantry unlike anywhere inland: grouper, red snapper and calamari come off the boats along the coast, and Upper Egypt supplies dates, tahini, molokhia and hibiscus. These local specialities shape the private jet menu we offer for Marsa Alam, and the inflight menu is built around what a crew can plate from a drawer. Private jet food here is mostly cold and bright in summer, with warm grilled fish and rice for cooler evenings. Fish stays chilled and sauce travels apart, a habit that matters on a hot apron.

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

Marsa Alam International sits on a long desert coastline where the heat reaches the apron long before the passengers reach the cabin, and that shapes every tray we pack for private jet catering here. Whether it is inflight catering for a sunrise departure or in-flight catering for a family returning from the reef, each meal is labelled by seat. Aviation catering at RMF is packed to survive a hot ramp, with business aviation catering and executive jet catering menus that keep seafood chilled and sauces apart. Diplomatic flight catering is handled with discretion, and cabin crew meals are ordered separately on request.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Marsa Alam International Airport (HEMA)

A vegan menu at Marsa Alam is easy to build from local produce: lentils, chickpeas, aubergine, okra and tahini carry most plates, and falafel, ful medames and grilled vegetables fill the rest. Halal is the default in Egyptian kitchens, and kosher, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are packed on a separate board with their own labels. Special meals travel sealed and marked by seat so nobody opens the wrong tray.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Marsa Alam (RMF)

Crew meals at HEMA are ordered with the flight like any other line, and invoiced the same way. Flight crew meals are usually something sturdy that holds in a hot cockpit: shawarma rice bowls, grilled chicken, mezze and fruit. If the operator asks for different meals for pilots, captain and first officer each get their own dish, packed in separate crew meal boxes labelled CREW. Crew catering and cockpit meals are built to be eaten one-handed on a long Red Sea sector, and pilot meals can be adjusted on request.

At Marsa Alam, galley catering on larger types is passed over by high loader at the aircraft door, with airside catering delivery arranged through the handling agent on the apron. Aircraft provisioning for a widebody means pallets rather than boxes, so tell us the type and the galley layout and we will pack to match. Light jets take the trays by hand.

About the airportHEMA / RMF

About Marsa Alam International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Marsa Alam International is a Red Sea Governorate airport serving resort and dive traffic, and airport catering here follows the seasons: busiest in winter, quieter in the summer heat. It is a general aviation stop for charters rather than a major hub, and the apron is open to the desert wind.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Marsa Alam is a seasonal affair: winter brings the owners and charter guests, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders rise with them. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for the resorts coexist with diplomatic flight catering when delegations visit, and cabin crew meals are ordered separately on request. As a small business aviation hub it values clear briefs.

Customs & food import

Egypt applies strict food import controls, and Marsa Alam customs inspect catering on international arrivals: meat, dairy and fresh produce may be refused. FBO services and ground handling services at the airport can advise on waste disposal and clearance, and ordering locally keeps the galley within the rules.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“I wanted poached fish with steamed rice for 8 guests at HEMA, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with several individual meal preferences. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the fruit plates clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of sauces matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. For VIP flight catering, that attention to storage requirements made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

★★★★☆GOVERNMENT

“With a late menu amendment to consider at RMF, we needed a practical way to serve roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings to 6 passengers. The Galley Girls suggested compact food boxes for the canapés, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the main courses to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the charter flight catering arrangements.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Despite a revised passenger count, we wanted the 9 guests at Marsa Alam International Airport to enjoy herb chicken with a quinoa salad without a complicated cabin service. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the main courses before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. With private jet food, careful attention to crew briefing matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The cabin team could match the canapés to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

Before you order at HEMAAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Marsa Alam?+

Marsa Alam's catering bill grows with the details: halal is routine, but a strict kosher or nut-free order needs its own handling, and we quote it as such. The cost of private jet catering at HEMA is built menu by menu, covers by covers.

What is the lead time for catering at Marsa Alam?+

Your handling agent at Marsa Alam decides how tight the timing can be, since airside access has to be cleared first. We work to that, and last-minute orders are handled where the access allows.

What are the customs rules for catering at Marsa Alam?+

Customs in Egypt is strict about imported food, and RMF is no exception: meals loaded abroad may be cleared, held or discarded at arrival. Ordering locally keeps the galley clean on the customs side.

Can you bring food to a government flight at Marsa Alam?+

A government party leaving Marsa Alam may wish to bring its own cook's food; security and customs will inspect it, so many delegations choose our traceable packing instead, cleared with the protocol office beforehand.

Is catering part of a charter into Marsa Alam?+

Catering is not part of a charter at Marsa Alam. Whether you leave at night or at first light, you order and pay for food as its own order, and we deliver it at your handover point.
