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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

The Arivonimamo table, packed for private jet catering

Antananarivo is the highland capital region, and the table around FMMA is a Malagasy one. Rice is the base of every meal; zebu is the meat people mean when they say beef; vanilla and pepper come from the humid east, lychees from the same coast in the southern summer. A private jet menu built here uses those: a zebu dish with its sauce apart, a rice dish that tolerates a galley oven, fruit that travels well.

For private jet food, local specialities are what makes a Malagasy menu feel like the place rather than a hotel plate. Our inflight menu leans on romazava, a leafy zebu broth, and ravitoto, pounded cassava leaves with pork, both heavy and slow-cooked, so we pack them to be finished in the oven and re-plated. Private jet platters carry fresh lychee and tropical fruit when in season; gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks use vanilla, cashew and coconut. Nothing is invented for the brochure: the {Region} table is rice, leaf and zebu, and we pack it for a galley.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport (FMMA)

At 4,757 ft on the central highlands, Arivonimamo is a thin-air airfield where evenings turn cool and the ground crew know the aircraft by tail number. Private jet catering here follows the plateau: zebu, rice, vanilla and tropical fruit packed for the galley you actually have. For the crew, inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered with the rest of the trip, and cabin crew meals travel in separate, labelled boxes. Aviation catering for business aviation catering flights, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same order, handled by former VIP flight attendants.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport (FMMA)

The typical business jet brief at FMMA is small: a light or midsize aircraft, a short ground time, a galley with one oven. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here mean a few well-chosen dishes, a private jet chef who plans around the drawers, and VIP flight catering that never overloads the aircraft. For charter flight catering, a bespoke menu may use zebu, vanilla and lychee in season, and luxury inflight catering stays simple enough to re-plate.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport (FMMA)

Special meals at FMMA are a procedure adapted to Malagasy cooking, not a label. Rice is the safe base for gluten free and allergen free plates, but sauces, stocks and peanut or cashew oils are where traces hide, so we cook those separately. Kosher, halal, vegan and kids meals are agreed with the order, packed apart from guest trays and marked by seat number.

Crew meals & pilot meals at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport

At Arivonimamo, crew meals are a separate, on-request order. We pack flight crew meals in labelled boxes, pilot meals with distinct dishes, and crew catering for the whole rotation. Cockpit meals are sealed and easy to eat during a quiet moment, crew meal boxes are marked CREW so nothing mixes with guest trays, and different meals for pilots are standard when the operator requires it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport (FMMA)

On this plateau strip, FBO catering means a hand-off at the aircraft, not at a counter. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed with your handling agent, who opens the gate onto the apron beside the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are timed to your slot, and last-minute orders are handled.}

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport (FMMA)

For galley catering at Arivonimamo, the aircraft type decides how it is loaded: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and the galley it feeds. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO and your handling agent to the foot of the aircraft, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the size of the ovens and drawers on board.

About the airportFMMA

About Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Arivonimamo is a plateau airfield used for business aviation, with a high elevation and a small general aviation apron beside the terminal. Airport catering here stays modest and local, while FBO services and ground handling services take care of the aircraft side of the turn.}

Business aviation

Calling Arivonimamo a business aviation hub is generous, but the field does the job for private flights into the highlands. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around the season, aviation catering and business aviation catering stay simple, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are cleared in advance, and cabin crew meals travel in their own labelled boxes. Crew meals are on request and invoiced like the rest of the order, and the ground handling services desk knows the field well.}

Customs & food import

Madagascar applies import rules to animal products and fresh produce arriving by air. A menu cooked and packed in-country sidesteps them, and the ground handling services agent can confirm anything you plan to carry on board before you fly in.}

★★★★★CHARTER

“An order of avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 4 people at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport had to be organised around two separate meal services. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet menu was how they handled written menu details. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the fruit plates to be packed accordingly. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 10 guests at FMMA, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with two separate meal services. I want a private jet chef to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I needed the breakfast portions checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the side dishes against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“Despite limited fridge space, we wanted the 9 guests at Antananarivo Arivonimamo Airport to enjoy prawn salad and small fruit plates without a complicated cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the canapés; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. Keeping the snack boxes identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the in flight catering arrangements.”

What crews ask before ArivonimamoAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a departure from FMMA?+

Think of it as two levers. A tight departure slot means a menu that finishes in the galley oven; a long layover opens up slower dishes like ravitoto. Either way the cost of private jet catering is set by the plate, not by the airfield.

What lead time do you need for local products at Arivonimamo?+

Madagascar's seasons shape what we can promise: lychee is a summer fruit, vanilla is year-round. For lead time, give us the date and we confirm which products are at their best; last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs require for catering at FMMA?+

Customs officers at a regional airfield like FMMA look at what is carried in, not at what is cooked locally. If you plan to bring your own food, tell us first; we will say what is likely to be refused.

Can you bring food to a flight at Arivonimamo, or must it be ordered locally?+

You can bring food, but it depends on the aircraft: a small galley with a single oven limits what can be re-plated, and imported meat or fruit may be stopped at customs. Can you bring food? Yes, though we recommend ordering locally.

Is catering part of a charter into Arivonimamo?+

The short answer is no. Even on a private jet charter, food is ordered and billed separately. Departures from Arivonimamo follow the weather, so we re-confirm the slot before packing.
