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

Local specialities from Sirt for your inflight catering

Private jet food at Sirt International follows what the coast and the desert edge provide. Dates and olives are the dependable local specialities; lamb stews and couscous with vegetables are the kind of dishes that reheat cleanly in an aircraft oven. Our inflight menu for Sirt keeps the spice level moderate by default and moves it to a side pot when the guest list is mixed.

A private jet menu for Sirt can be written around Surt District produce: dates, citrus, olive oil, grilled fish and lamb. Local specialities are cooked and packed for the galley, not for a dining room, so every dish arrives with a clear finish: oven, sauce apart, chilled or re-plated cold.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (HLGD)

Sirt sits on the Gulf of Sirte coast, on a plain at 267 feet, and the arrival is usually a charter or a delegation rather than a routine rotation. Private jet catering for HLGD starts from that: dates, fresh flatbread and grilled fish on the menu, in-flight catering packed for your galley, and aviation catering sorted with the FBO. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow on request.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (SRX)

Business jet catering at Sirt is usually a small, specific order: one corporate jet catering file or one charter flight catering request, a few guests, one slot. We build a bespoke menu around local dates, grilled fish and lamb, and a private jet chef is available when the brief is custom. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same rule: dishes that hold in the galley and finish in the oven, with inflight catering and in-flight catering packed to your drawers.

For official arrivals into HLGD, we treat government flight catering as a controlled file. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are prepared by a small named team, VIP aviation catering is sealed and traceable, and every box is labelled by seat, never by name.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (HLGD)

At Sirt the local table is built on wheat: flatbread, couscous and bazin all hide gluten, and sauces often carry it too. Special meals are written as a procedure from the first order, with kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals each kept on a separate board and in sealed boxes, labelled by seat number only. Halal is the default for Libyan produce, so the real care goes into the other requests.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (SRX)

Crew meals at Sirt are ordered on request and invoiced with the trip. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed so they can be eaten one-handed, and crew catering can include different meals for pilots when the operator asks for it. Crew meal boxes are labelled CREW so they are never opened by mistake, and cabin crew meals are packed separately from guest trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (SRX)

FBO catering at Sirt means the order is delivered to the general aviation terminal and handed to your handling agent for the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering, and handling agent catering is simply the label for who opens which door. We keep the file short: tail, slot, headcount.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (SRX)

Aircraft type decides the loading plan at Sirt. A light or midsize jet takes a trolley or a carry-on crate straight through the main door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader positioned by your handling agent. Tell us the type and the galley layout and we plan the aircraft provisioning for it: galley catering sized for the ovens and drawers on that aircraft, with airside catering delivery arranged through the FBO so the boxes reach the door in the order they will be used.

About the airportHLGD / SRX

About Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase (SRX): airport catering for business aviation

Sirt International Airport is the main airfield of the coastal city, and its general aviation traffic is modest. It shares the field with Ghardabiya Airbase, which shapes access and timing. FBO services and ground handling services are the two things an order depends on here, and airport catering is planned around what the terminal and the FBO can accept, with one clear delivery point.

Business aviation

Sirt works as a small business aviation hub for the Gulf of Sirte coast: a mix of charters and official visits rather than daily rotations. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders are small and specific, and aviation catering for executive jet catering or diplomatic flight catering follows protocol. Business aviation catering here depends on the FBO services and ground handling services available that day. Cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered alongside the guest menu, not instead of it.

Customs & food import

Libya controls food imports and customs on arrival, and the rules affect what can be loaded or carried. Meat, dairy and alcohol are the usual points of attention. Your handling agent and the FBO services on the field are the ones who clear aircraft supplies, and ground handling services coordinate that step. We advise on what to order locally and what to leave aside, so the supplies are declared cleanly.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Menu approval at SRX covered poached fish with steamed rice for 11 guests, leaving us to organise the service around two separate meal services. I asked The Galley Girls to review the canapés quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of salads matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. For in-flight catering services, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Choosing prawn salad and small fruit plates for 3 people at Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls prepared the sauces for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about aviation catering. It made a difference to have the starters ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Before our guests boarded at HLGD, we needed grilled salmon with a lemon dressing divided into 5 portions suitable for limited fridge space. I would discuss aviation catering services with them again, especially when portion planning needs careful coordination. I needed the starters checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the sauces against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

Sirt in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Sirt?+

The biggest swing at Sirt is usually one local product on the menu. A lamb tagine with apricots prices very differently from a plate of grilled sea bream, and both differ from a cold mezze board. We quote from the actual menu, so you see the figure before you confirm.

What is the lead time for catering at HLGD?+

A late passenger change is the usual reason an order moves at HLGD. We keep an order flexible by building the menu in per-seat portions, so a plus-one or a drop-out only changes the count. Last-minute orders are handled, day or night.

What about customs when catering a flight at Sirt?+

For international flights into HLGD, assume that any food carried in will be checked. We keep our deliveries clearly labelled and sealed, and we advise on which items cause trouble so the return catering is not held up.

Can you bring food on board at Sirt?+

Technically yes, but it is subject to the customs rules above and to your operator's policy. Most crews prefer a sealed local order because it clears with the aircraft supplies and avoids a conversation on the ramp, especially when the slot and the turnaround are short.

Is catering part of a charter into Sirt?+

No, catering is a separate line. We take the order from you or the operator and invoice it separately. Two services on one leg are planned together so nothing is duplicated in the galley.
