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 Koulamoutou brings to your in-flight catering (KOU)

Koulamoutou sits in Ogooué-Lolo Province, forest country where the table is built on river fish, cassava and smoked bush meat, so a private jet menu for FOGK leans on what Gabonese kitchens do best. Local specialities such as nyembwe chicken in palm nut sauce, grilled capitaine from the Ogooué and cassava sticks wrapped in leaf travel well once they are plated for the galley.

Our inflight menu for Koulamoutou Mabimbi is built the way the galley works: what finishes in the oven, what stays chilled, what the sauce pot rides in. Private jet food from this region is rich and spiced, so we keep the palm nut sauce apart and send the plantain and the cassava separate. Private jet platters of fruit, smoked fish and cassava bread suit a short stop, gourmet inflight meals suit the long leg, and private jet snacks cover the rest of the cabin. Order them as Ogooué-Lolo specialities or as plain as you like.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Koulamoutou for business and VIP flights (KOU)

A corporate trip into Koulamoutou is usually a small party on a light or mid-size jet, and the brief is short. Business jet catering from KOU relies on a few fresh local ingredients, corporate jet catering follows your seat plan, and VIP flight catering or charter flight catering can be added to the same order. Luxury inflight catering with a private jet chef and a bespoke menu is built around grilled capitaine and plantain rather than imported dishes.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport

A state visit or a ministerial movement into Koulamoutou calls for government flight catering that is cleared by protocol first. Head of state flight catering is prepared by a named team, VIP aviation catering is traceable, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered discreetly at the aircraft.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport (KOU)

At Koulamoutou most dishes lean on fish, palm oil and peanut, so special meals start with the sauce, not the label. Kosher and halal meals are sealed in their own tray, vegan and gluten free boxes keep cassava and plantain away from shared fryers, and allergen free orders, peanut first, are prepared on a separate board. Kids meals are plain rice, chicken and fruit, and every request is checked against the seat plan before anything is cooked.

Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are separate boxes, crew catering is labelled CREW, crew meal boxes stay cold or finish in the oven, and different meals for pilots are on request.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport

At FOGK the handover happens at the FBO or at the foot of the airstair, whichever your handling agent allows. FBO catering and ground handling catering are coordinated through the general aviation terminal, catering delivery to the FBO is on your slot, and handling agent catering is confirmed with one call.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport (FOGK)

Koulamoutou Mabimbi sees small turboprops and light and mid-size jets, so galley catering rarely needs a high loader: boxes go up the airstair and into the cabin by hand. If a larger aircraft is on the plan, tell us the type and we organise airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning to match the door height and the galley layout.

About the airportFOGK / KOU

About Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport: business aviation and airport catering

FOGK is a quiet airport in forest country. Airport catering has to be planned, general aviation traffic is light, FBO services are basic, and ground handling services are confirmed before the aircraft arrives.

Business aviation

Business aviation into Koulamoutou is occasional but real: mining and timber groups, officials, and charter flights serving the province. Aviation catering, inflight catering and in-flight catering all share one order, executive jet catering suits a small cabin, diplomatic flight catering is handled by protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight. Business aviation catering here is about planning, not volume, and the airport works as a business aviation hub only for a few departures.

Customs & food import

Gabon applies customs and food-import rules to meat, dairy and fresh produce arriving by air, so catering is prepared locally to avoid the question. Clearance is handled by your handling agent; food already on board is declared as usual.

★★★★★CHARTER

“As the person coordinating grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 4 passengers at FOGK, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. I would discuss flight catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the breakfast portions, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. Knowing where the salads were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

Gulfstream G450

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Menu approval at KOU covered a cheese board and savoury canapés for 11 guests, leaving us to organise the service around several individual meal preferences. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the canapés, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the breakfast portions to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. The order made flight catering services feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand.”

Camille H. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★☆LARGE CABIN

“Passenger preferences led us to roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings at Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport; 9 portions were needed, with two separate meal services factored into preparation. I wanted clear identification on the starters; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the snack boxes at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. Our brief for airline catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover.”

Koulamoutou in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Koulamoutou when a guest needs a halal or nut-free meal?+

The cost of private jet catering rises when a guest needs sealed or certified food and falls when the menu stays local and simple. Halal nyembwe sits near the standard price, a fully kosher tray sits above it.

What lead time does catering at Koulamoutou need when the crew is waiting on the ground?+

Crew duty limits make a late change possible but not comfortable. Tell us early which meals are for the crew and which are for guests, and we confirm what Ogooué-Lolo produce is available.

What about customs at Koulamoutou when the turnaround is short?+

Customs at KOU applies to imported produce and meat. Our meals use local ingredients, so they do not add an import line to the turnaround; tell us if you plan to uplift anything from abroad.

Can you bring food of your own into Gabon for a Koulamoutou flight?+

You can carry sealed packaged items, but fresh meat or fish usually will not clear. Local capitaine and plantain are easy to source and keep the menu tied to the province.

Is catering part of a charter into Koulamoutou, and what about customs and food-import rules in Gabon?+

Catering is not part of a charter, even into a remote airport like KOU. You order it once the tail and slot are known, and Gabon's import rules guide what we can supply.
