Catering to your aircraft in Kaédi.
At Kaédi, heat and dust shape the day more than the schedule. We pack sealed trays for the galley and hand them over through your FBO, for crew and guests alike.
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.
The Gorgol Region eats from the river. Around Kaédi, a private jet menu leans on thieboudienne-style rice with fish, grilled lamb with onions, and millet couscous, all things that travel well into a galley. An inflight menu here is built for heat: dishes that hold sealed and chilled, with sauces packed apart. Local specialities such as dried fruit, dates and sweet mint tea suit private jet snacks and the end of a long leg. Private jet platters of grilled meat, flatbread and salads, and gourmet inflight meals adapted from Mauritanian home cooking, make private jet food at Kaédi easy to explain to a passenger who has never been to Mauritania.
Kaédi is the Gorgol Region's river town, and its table follows the Senegal: fish, rice, millet, lamb, dates. A private jet menu built on these gives the cabin something honest and specific. Inflight menu choices that hold well are rice dishes re-plated cold or in the oven, grilled lamb sliced for service, and fruit with dates for private jet snacks. Local specialities from the Gorgol Region are packed sealed, sauce apart, so private jet food arrives in the galley as cooked. Private jet platters and gourmet inflight meals are portioned to the cabin count.

Kaédi Airport sits at 75 ft on the Senegal River plain, in Mauritania's Gorgol Region, and a stop here rarely looks like the stops you plan elsewhere. Private jet catering at GQNK starts with the galley you actually have, then with the menu: inflight catering built around rice, river fish and grilled lamb, with in-flight catering notes written for the person who serves. Aviation catering for business aviation catering requests, executive jet catering orders and diplomatic flight catering is commissioned and invoiced like any other order, and cabin crew meals are available on request.
Business jet catering at Kaédi is usually a short, focused brief: a few guests, one leg out, a galley with a single oven. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the same line, charter flight catering included. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef working from local rice, fish and lamb into a bespoke menu that survives the heat.
Government flight catering at Kaédi is shaped by protocol: the menu is agreed before anything is cooked, and head of state flight catering is traced dish by dish to the kitchen. VIP aviation catering for a state visit aircraft catering order is sealed, discreet and handed over at the aircraft with your handling agent present.
At Kaédi, special meals follow the local kitchen: halal is the baseline for lamb and chicken, while kosher, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are packed separately and sealed. Peanut and sesame appear in regional sauces, so allergen free means a separate board and its own box, marked with a seat number. Kids meals are plain rice, grilled chicken and fruit.
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.
Pilots flying into Kaédi often wait on the ground through the hottest hours, so crew meals are built to hold. Flight crew meals and crew meal boxes go in their own box, never in a guest drawer. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are easy to eat in the seat, and different meals for pilots can be requested by seat. Crew catering is on request, invoiced as an ordinary line, like cabin crew meals.
FBO catering at Kaédi means a handover at the aircraft: catering delivery to the FBO, or straight to the stand through your handling agent. The general aviation terminal sets the access, and ground handling catering is agreed before your slot. Handling agent catering coordinates the trays with whoever opens the apron gate.
Galley catering at Kaédi depends on the aircraft type: a light or midsize jet takes trays through the main door, a larger cabin may need airside catering delivery by the handling agent. Tell us the type and the galley, and aircraft provisioning is packed to fit its ovens and drawers.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Kaédi Airport is a small airfield in the Gorgol Region, in southern Mauritania, at 75 ft above sea level, on the river plain. Airport catering here works with local ingredients, and general aviation traffic is light, so FBO services and ground handling services are arranged ahead.
Business aviation hub it is not, but Kaédi sees the occasional charter and delegation flight. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these stops are small and precise. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are handled in the same way as on a busy field. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are sealed and listed.
Mauritania controls food imports, so fresh meat and produce brought in on board can be questioned at customs. Loading cooked, sealed food locally at Kaédi keeps the paperwork simple, and your handling agent knows the current rules.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“I wanted herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 5 guests at KED, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a changing departure schedule. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about packing arrangement. The Galley Girls grouped the salads by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The starters were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Kaédi Airport, the next request was fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 9 guests, with a revised passenger count to work around. The packing arrangement stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet catering menu. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the desserts had been grouped. The sandwiches went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“Keeping the galley organised at GQNK meant planning vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 6 guests with a family lunch request in mind. The desserts came from The Galley Girls in shallow trays, with a packing list that matched the contents. I could hand the starters to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. This experience of private aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure.”
Private jet catering cost at Kaédi is set by what you order: guest platters of fish and rice cost more than flatbread and salads. If the crew waits through the afternoon heat, add a hot meal and a chilled snack box for each pilot.
Halal needs no special effort at KED. Kosher, vegan and child meals are sealed separately, so give the code with the tail and slot; last-minute changes are handled.
Import rules in Mauritania limit fresh meat and produce carried on board, so for delegations we recommend loading locally cooked food at Kaédi, sealed and listed, instead of bringing it in.
Yes, you can bring food on board, but check customs and keep it sealed. For a changing headcount we pack extra portions of rice, lamb and fruit, so nobody goes without.
Catering sits on its own order, not on the charter contract. With two services on board, we divide the trays so the second stays chilled until the crew needs it.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
