Private jet catering at Néma Airport (GQNI / EMN), Néma

Catering to your aircraft in Néma.

In Hodh ech Chargui the days are hot and the runway is quiet, so a Néma order is built around trays that hold in a warm cabin. Former VIP flight attendants plan it, and your crew re-plates what we send.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Néma (EMN)

Hodh ech Chargui is Mauritania's far south-east, a land of herders, wells and dry plateau around Néma. A private jet menu for this region draws on what the Sahel actually eats: lamb, camel milk, millet, dates, flatbread and strong sweet tea. An inflight menu built from local specialities has to ride in a galley, so every plate is planned for how it travels. Private jet food from here is simple, generous and honest.

Our private jet platters for Néma carry cold mezze-style boards: dates, olives, cheese, flatbread and herbed couscous salad. Gourmet inflight meals lean on slow-cooked lamb or chicken with spiced rice, finished in the galley oven. Private jet snacks stay dry and easy: roasted peanuts, date bars, almonds and small pastries. Local specialities of Hodh ech Chargui Region are adapted, never diluted, for a pressurised cabin.

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

Néma sits on the edge of the Sahel, in Hodh ech Chargui, where a business jet lands on a dry strip at 745 ft and the galley is the only kitchen you will see for the day. Private jet catering here is built before wheels-up: sealed trays, sauces apart, a clear plan for the oven you actually have. We write inflight catering and in-flight catering for this field with the same care as aviation catering anywhere, from business aviation catering for corporate trips to executive jet catering for small delegations, plus diplomatic flight catering when a state party transits. Cabin crew meals are part of the same order, on request and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Néma Airport (EMN)

A business jet into Néma usually carries a small party on a corporate or executive trip, and the brief is short: who flies, what the galley can warm, what has to stay cold. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here mean VIP flight catering that travels, from charter flight catering to luxury inflight catering. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around local lamb, couscous and dates, and everything is invoiced like the rest of the order.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Néma Airport (EMN)

Government flight catering at Néma is a protocol exercise before it is a cooking one. A head of state flight catering order, or a ministerial party on a state visit aircraft catering brief, goes through clearance first, with a named team and strict traceability. VIP aviation catering here is discreet by design and agreed with your handling agent.

Special meals

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Néma Airport

Néma's cooking is lamb, dairy, wheat and nuts, so allergens hide in places a flight attendant will not expect: butter in rice, nut oils in sweets, wheat in the couscous. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are handled as a procedure in the kitchen, with separate boards, sealed boxes and a seat number on each tray. Halal is the local default for meat, which makes it simple here.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Néma Airport (EMN)

At Néma the handover happens at the general aviation terminal or on the apron, depending on your handling agent. FBO catering, catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are agreed beforehand, so handling agent catering is a single call and the trays go straight to the aircraft.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Néma Airport

Néma handles light and mid-size business aircraft, and the aircraft type decides the loading: door height, step or high loader, and how much the galley can actually take. Our galley catering is packed to that galley, trays sized for the drawers and ovens on board. Airside catering delivery goes to the apron through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail before anything is cooked.

About the airportGQNI / EMN

Airport catering at Néma Airport (GQNI)

Néma is the main airfield of south-east Mauritania, set at 745 ft in dry country. Airport catering for GQNI is built around general aviation visits, and FBO services and ground handling services are provided through the terminal. It works as a small business aviation hub for the region.

Business aviation

Néma sees occasional business aviation: mining and aid parties, officials, and the odd executive jet or diplomatic flight. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are planned weeks of heat in mind, with business aviation catering and aviation catering kept simple. Executive jet catering suits compact aircraft, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart.

Customs & food import

Mauritania controls imported animal products, so meat, dairy and fresh produce arriving at Néma may be checked by customs. We keep a clear manifest of what is on the aircraft and share it with your handling agent. Local halal practice makes meat sourcing simple, and the order is confirmed against the tail before anything is cooked.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Several practical details needed attention at EMN, with herb chicken with a quinoa salad requested for 5 guests and different crew meal preferences to accommodate. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the main courses could be arranged during service. I would discuss flight catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination. The sauces stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“One detail shaped our order at Néma Airport: a small galley worktop, alongside a request for a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 7 passengers. The order made flight catering services feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the snack boxes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the salads from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Our priority at GQNI was a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 7 passengers, with two separate meal services shaping the service plan. My main takeaway from this airline catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the salads clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of breakfast portions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

Before you order at GQNIAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when a guest sends a kosher or allergen request into Néma?+

Dietary requests are where private jet catering cost moves most. A nut allergy in a region that cooks with nut oils means a dedicated board and sealed box; that work is priced into the line, and Néma orders list it separately so nobody is surprised.

What lead time does a delegation or government flight into Néma need?+

If a minister or delegation is flying into Néma, send the passenger list and dietary notes as soon as you have them. Lead time here is about getting the menu cleared, and last-minute orders are handled when plans change.

What does customs mean for catering if the passenger count changes at the last minute at Néma?+

A late change in passengers at Néma shifts the tray count, and customs and your handling agent want that count to match what is on board. We reissue the list, and leftover food stays on the aircraft or is dealt with under local rules.

Can you bring food for a long leg with two services on board out of Néma?+

You can bring food, but a long leg with two services is where it gets difficult: second-service trays need to hold for hours and re-plate properly. Customs may ask about animal products, so a plan built for Néma is usually safer than improvising.

Is catering part of a charter on a short repositioning flight into Néma with an empty cabin?+

An empty cabin does not change the answer: catering stays separate from a private jet charter. For a short reposition to GQNI, crew meals are the only thing most operators ask for, on request and billed on their own.
