Catering to your aircraft in Siwa Oasis.
At SEW the flights are short and the cabins small, so we cook and pack for exactly that: a few well-chosen dishes, labelled by seat, delivered to your FBO.
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.
For Matruh Governorate, the private jet menu starts with what the oasis grows: palm dates, olives, olive oil and mint tea. These local specialities are Siwa Oasis staples, and we pack them so the inflight menu reads as regional rather than generic.
Private jet food from this part of Egypt leans on grilled meat, rice and flatbread, with fresh salads kept apart until service. Private jet platters are cut for sharing, gourmet inflight meals are plated in the galley from sealed components, and private jet snacks such as date and nut mixes stay shelf-stable. Siwa Oasis is not a place for improvised substitutions, so special requests are confirmed with the order.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Siwa Oasis North sits at 289 ft in the western desert of Matruh Governorate, and an empty-cabin hop in is the usual way a flight arrives. Private jet catering for SEW is planned around that: a short ground stop, a small galley, and a table built on dates, olives and desert herbs. Whether you call it inflight catering or in-flight catering, it is packed for re-plating, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same labelled routine.
Business jet catering at Siwa Oasis North usually means a small corporate party or a private group arriving for the oasis. Corporate jet catering here is light and regional, VIP flight catering follows the same plan with more plated courses, and charter flight catering is sized to the galley. Luxury inflight catering keeps it simple, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around dates, olives and grilled lamb.
Official visits to Siwa Oasis arrive on a tight, quiet schedule. Government flight catering is planned with the protocol office, head of state flight catering uses a dedicated team, VIP aviation catering is traceable from kitchen to galley, and state visit aircraft catering is confirmed in writing.
Special meals at Siwa Oasis North are handled as a procedure built around local cooking, where wheat, nuts and sesame turn up in dips, breads and sweets.

Your order at SEW reaches the aircraft through the FBO and your handling agent. FBO catering is signed for at the terminal, catering delivery to the FBO is confirmed with the slot, general aviation terminal access is arranged in advance, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated on the apron.
Aircraft at Siwa Oasis North are mostly small and mid-size jets, so galley catering is sized to a galley with limited oven space. For anything larger, airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent and aircraft provisioning is arranged around the door height and loader available on the apron.

SEW is a small airfield serving the oasis of Siwa in western Egypt. General aviation traffic is light, FBO services are basic, and ground handling services are arranged through your handling agent, with airport catering delivered to the aircraft.
Business aviation catering at Siwa Oasis North suits private groups visiting the oasis. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are both prepared here, aviation catering is sized to the galley, and executive jet catering for a diplomatic flight or a state visit is handled as diplomatic flight catering, with cabin crew meals packed separately. SEW works as a small business aviation hub for the western desert.
Egypt regulates the import of fresh food, and an aircraft arriving at Siwa Oasis North is subject to those rules. Ordering catering locally and taking delivery at the aircraft keeps the customs side straightforward.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Food presentation mattered to our 12 guests, but a late menu amendment also had to be considered when organising a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides at SEW. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the crew provisions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. I want an inflight catering company to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point. It was useful to see the sauces listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Siwa Oasis North Airport, the next request was avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 6 guests, with different crew meal preferences to work around. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the main courses, 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.”
“Nothing about the 12 guest order at Siwa Oasis North Airport called for excess complexity: just yoghurt pots and fresh berries and sensible planning for a late menu amendment. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering services. I needed the salads checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The breakfast portions remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
A cold platter order for a short stop is a different invoice from a full hot meal service. At SEW, the season changes which produce is at its best, and that shows in the cost. We confirm a figure before you commit.
For a quiet oasis airport, lead time is mostly about the products you want. Dates and olives are always on hand; fresh seafood is not. Last-minute orders are handled.
Egypt applies its own import rules to fresh meat, dairy and produce, and a short empty leg does not change that. Locally prepared meals handed to your handling agent at SEW keep the paperwork light.
If the aircraft has a small galley, we recommend ordering rather than bringing. Pre-plated components travel and serve better than loose items.
It is not. A private jet charter to Siwa Oasis North prices the flight, and food is ordered on top. Dietary requests are confirmed with you before preparation.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
