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.

Sidi El Barrani on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at SQK

Sidi El Barrani is a small coastal town in Matruh Governorate, and its private jet menu reads like the shoreline: fish straight from the sea, tomato-and-garlic shrimp, lentil soup, and bread baked the Bedouin way.

We pick local specialities for how they behave in a galley. Grilled fish is chilled and re-plated, stews are packed for the oven, and tahini or lemon sauces ride in their own pots. The inflight menu keeps the flavour of Matruh while respecting a drawer, a small oven and a crew who have to serve in turbulence.

Private jet food from this stretch of Egypt also includes dates, figs, olives and herb salads. Private jet platters carry mezze and cheese for a group. Gourmet inflight meals are built per seat, and private jet snacks are dry, clean and easy to hand across the cabin.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Sidi EL Barrani Airport (SQK)

Sidi El Barrani Airport sits at 282 ft on the Matruh coast, a terrain where the sea breeze sets the pace and a quiet apron means every handover is deliberate. Private jet catering at SQK is written for the galley you actually have: inflight catering that travels well in coastal heat, in-flight catering packed for a drawer and a small oven, aviation catering with seat numbers on the lids. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders land with your handling agent, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol before cooking, and cabin crew meals ride on the same invoice only when you ask for them.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Sidi El Barrani (HE40)

A typical Sidi El Barrani brief is a small jet on a coastal stop, with a corporate party and a short rotation. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour grilled fish and mezze, while VIP flight catering adds hand-finished plates. Charter flight catering uses a compact menu for a single oven, luxury inflight catering adds quality produce and dates, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your galley.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Sidi EL Barrani Airport (SQK)

Sidi El Barrani sees quiet official movements on the Matruh coast, and government flight catering follows protocol: a menu cleared before cooking, a named team, and discretion at handover. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering use the same traceable process, as does state visit aircraft catering.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Sidi EL Barrani Airport

Special meals at Sidi El Barrani follow a procedure, not a label. Kosher and halal orders are cooked and sealed separately, which is straightforward with local lamb, chicken and fish. Vegan and gluten free plates lean on lentils, legumes and vegetables, while allergen free dishes keep sesame and tree nuts, common in tahini and dukkah, out of the pan and off the board. Kids meals are simple and clearly marked. Each tray carries a seat number, not a name.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Sidi EL Barrani Airport (HE40)

At Sidi El Barrani, FBO catering is handed over where your handling agent directs: the general aviation terminal or the aircraft itself. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering staff, and handling agent catering instructions are confirmed with the tail and slot.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Sidi EL Barrani Airport (SQK)

Galley catering for SQK starts with the aircraft type, because it decides the door, the height and whether a high loader is needed. Airside catering delivery is arranged through your handling agent, who opens the gate and meets the vehicle at the apron. Aircraft provisioning is packed to the galley on the tail: ovens, drawers, chillers and how much room is really free.

About the airportSQK

Airport catering at Sidi EL Barrani Airport (HE40)

Sidi El Barrani Airport serves a small town on the Matruh coast of Egypt. Airport catering here is simple and local, general aviation traffic is light, and FBO services and ground handling services run through the handling agent. SQK is more a quiet coastal stop than a business aviation hub.

Business aviation

Traffic at Sidi El Barrani follows holiday and official rhythms along the coast. Inflight catering and in-flight catering lean on cold plates, aviation catering is written for small galleys, business aviation catering adapts to the tail, executive jet catering is plated, diplomatic flight catering is cleared, and cabin crew meals stay on request.

Customs & food import

Egypt controls food import tightly, so meat, dairy and fresh produce brought in from abroad may be inspected or held. Ordering catering ashore in Egypt avoids that risk, and your handling agent confirms airside access and paperwork for the delivery.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Clear quantities were essential at SQK: we had 5 passengers expecting herb chicken with a quinoa salad and were working around a short ground stop. The order made inflight catering services feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. After a final adjustment to the starters, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the crew provisions quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Amelie B. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Passenger preferences led us to a breakfast basket with individual preserves at Sidi EL Barrani Airport; 3 portions were needed, with a short ground stop factored into preparation. I asked The Galley Girls to review the breakfast portions quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. We also checked the sauces before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I want an inflight catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Alexandre B. | Royal family manager

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 3 passenger portions of herb chicken with a quinoa salad were the easy part; managing limited fridge space at Sidi EL Barrani Airport took more planning. The Galley Girls kept the crew provisions separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the salads ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at cabin service sequence after this experience.”

Before you order at SQKAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight into Sidi El Barrani with an empty cabin?+

How much does private jet catering cost at SQK on a ferry sector? Light: water, fruit, flatbread, two crew meals. Heavy: hot dishes, special meals, platters. The price tracks that difference, and last-minute orders are handled the same way.

What lead time does a Sidi El Barrani order need for a small jet versus a larger aircraft?+

For Sidi El Barrani, the type of aircraft decides how complex the order can be, which in turn sets lead time. One oven means one hot course; two ovens mean more. We handle last-minute orders on either.

What happens with customs when I request a kosher, halal or allergen-free meal into Egypt?+

A special-meal request at SQK is handled on the ground: we cook and seal it locally, so customs questions about imported meat or dairy are largely avoided. Leftover uplift from abroad may be refused, so we recommend ordering with us.

Can you bring food of your own into Sidi El Barrani, and how does the handling agent fit in?+

Can you bring food to Sidi El Barrani? Possibly, but check with your handling agent first, because airside access and customs both apply. Catering ordered with us is documented and delivered where the agent directs.

Is catering part of a charter into Sidi El Barrani, with Egypt's food-import rules?+

Catering is not part of a charter. Even in a private jet charter to SQK, meals are their own order with their own invoice. Customs rules in Egypt are one more reason to order local.
