Catering to your aircraft in Fria.
At 499 ft in the Boké Region, Fria sees mining charters and the odd diplomatic stop. For private jet catering at GUFA we cook and pack from former VIP flight attendants' experience and hand over at the aircraft.
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.
Fria belongs to the Boké Region, where the Guinean coast meets the Konkouré river country, and the private jet menu for Fria starts from what that country grows and fishes. Local specialities travel well when you plan them for a galley: rice with peanut or palm-oil sauce, grilled river and sea fish, cassava leaves, fresh pineapple, mango and banana from the region. An inflight menu built on them gives the cabin something that tastes of Guinea rather than a generic tray.
Private jet food from Fria works best when each dish is chosen for how it finishes on board. The sauce stays apart, the fish arrives chilled or ready for the oven, the fruit is cut at the last moment. Our private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are cooked and packed for the galley you actually have. Ask for local specialities from the Boké Region and we adapt them to the aircraft, the headcount and the dietary cards you send.

Fria Airport sits at 499 ft in the bauxite belt of the Boké Region, a field where business aircraft land on a working strip and the galley stays the only kitchen you have. The kitchen behind private jet catering for GUFA is run by former VIP flight attendants, who know what a Fria galley can and cannot take. On the page you will find inflight catering for the cabin and in-flight catering notes for the way back, aviation catering and business aviation catering matched to the aircraft, executive jet catering for the principals, diplomatic flight catering for official movements, and cabin crew meals boxed separately.
Corporate flights into FIG tend to carry mining delegations, and business jet catering has to match that profile. We offer corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering for senior guests, and charter flight catering for operators. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering uses the produce of the Boké Region where it makes sense.
Official aircraft landing at GUFA need a menu cleared by protocol first. We handle government flight catering with a named team, head of state flight catering with sealed trays, VIP aviation catering for delegations, and state visit aircraft catering with traceable sourcing.
Guinean cooking uses groundnut, palm oil and fish, so dietary requests need a clear procedure at Fria. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked separately, allergen free meals are boxed alone, and special meals and kids meals carry seat numbers.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At Fria, flight crew meals are a distinct line on the order, requested and invoiced as any other dish. Pilot meals are boxed apart from the cabin, crew catering for the captain and first officer follows the operator's rules, and cockpit meals carry no names, only seat numbers. Crew meal boxes are easy to handle at the aircraft, and different meals for pilots are ordered when needed.
Your handling agent at GUFA receives the order at the general aviation terminal and brings it airside. FBO catering is the point of contact, catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your slot, ground handling catering sorts out access, and handling agent catering keeps the paperwork in one place.
Larger aircraft landing at GUFA may need a high loader for the trays, smaller ones take boxes by hand. Galley catering is planned around the door height and the oven, airside catering delivery follows the handler, and aircraft provisioning starts from what the aircraft can hold.

GUFA serves the Fria bauxite area, and the number of business movements follows the mining calendar. General aviation traffic is modest and the apron is quiet outside charter days. FBO services are limited to what the handling agent can arrange, and ground handling services are organised around each arrival rather than a fixed schedule. Airport catering therefore depends on supplies sourced in the Boké Region, and Fria works as a small business aviation hub for the mines rather than a busy transit field.
Business aviation catering at FIG reflects the field's role: mining charters, occasional state movements, positioning legs. Inflight catering is built sector by sector, with in-flight catering for the longer days and aviation catering matched to the operator's aircraft. Executive jet catering suits the principals, diplomatic flight catering suits delegations, and cabin crew meals and other crew meals are boxed apart from the cabin. As a modest business aviation hub, Fria rewards a menu planned around the galley you will find, not the one you hope for.
Guinean customs inspect food entering and leaving the country, so imported items need to be declared and cleared through your handling agent. The ground handling services at GUFA can receive a declared order, but local fresh produce avoids most of the paperwork, which is why we source rice, fish and fruit in the Boké Region wherever the menu allows. A business aviation hub with a short apron has little room for held food, so a clean customs path matters more here than elsewhere.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at FIG, where 7 guests expected mushroom risotto and a green salad despite a family lunch request. After a final adjustment to the desserts, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. The starters remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
“Choosing mushroom risotto and a green salad for 9 people at Fria Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a short ground stop. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about cabin service sequence. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the fruit plates clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the starters listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
“Nothing about the 11 guest order at GUFA called for excess complexity: just a cold lunch with cheese and fruit and sensible planning for a changing departure schedule. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the private jet catering menu arrangements. The snack boxes came from The Galley Girls in clearly marked packs, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the side dishes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”
A passenger who wants Guinean cassava leaves and fish pays for the sourcing of those items, a passenger who wants a fruit and cold-cut board pays for something else. Private jet catering at GUFA is quoted per menu, invoiced like any order, and every line is explained.
Food import rules in Guinea shape the order more than the clock does: fresh produce is bought locally, and anything that must be imported has to clear customs first. Tell us early what you want and last-minute orders are handled, with local alternatives proposed if an import is not practical.
The size of the galley determines what gets declared. A narrow galley means chilled platters and sealed boxes, a wide one means hot dishes and several trays. Either way the food is sourced in Guinea or documented, and your handling agent receives it for customs.
The question comes down to what survives the wait. When departures at Fria hinge on the season, imported fresh food can sit on the apron longer than planned, and customs may hold it. We supply local produce cooked and packed for the day you actually fly.
Catering sits outside the private jet charter contract: it is a distinct order with distinct lines. If your return from Fria is a different aircraft or a different day, we plan the return menu on its own, to suit that galley.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
