Catering to your aircraft in Bouarfa.
At 3,630 ft on the steppe of L'Oriental Region, Bouarfa (UAR) gives cold nights and hot afternoons, and the menu has to cope with both. Former VIP flight attendants build the trays here, and crew meals are an optional line on the order.
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.
A private jet menu for Bouarfa works best when it respects the high desert: dishes that survive a cold morning apron and a warm afternoon one. L'Oriental Region gives us lamb, dates, preserved lemon, mint and orange blossom, and each one is packed with its service in mind.
Local specialities decide the inflight menu here. Think of a chicken tagine with preserved lemon and olives that goes into the oven, a pot of harira kept apart, and khobz wrapped separately. Private jet food from this part of Morocco is generous, so we portion it for a galley with one small oven and no room to spare.
For gourmet inflight meals leaving Bouarfa we lean on date-and-almond sweets, orange salad with cinnamon, and cold mezze-style plates that sit in the drawer until you need them. Private jet platters are labelled by seat, and private jet snacks stay dry and crisp: nuts, dried fruit and small pastries.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Bouarfa Airport sits at 3,630 ft on the high steppe of L'Oriental Region, and a stop here usually means a quiet apron and a galley that has to be right before wheels-up. Private jet catering for GMFB is cooked and packed for the galley you actually fly, then handed over to your handling agent at the aircraft. Whether you call it inflight catering or in-flight catering, the brief is the same: trays labelled by seat, sauces apart, cold items chilled. Aviation catering for business aviation catering flights, executive jet catering sectors and diplomatic flight catering missions follows one method, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately and marked CREW.
Corporate jet catering for Bouarfa starts from the aircraft: how much drawer space, whether there is an oven, how many seats. Business jet catering and VIP flight catering are then built tray by tray, charter flight catering stays flexible for changing manifests, and a private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu for luxury inflight catering using lamb, dates and citrus.
When a ministerial or official flight stops at GMFB, discretion matters more than volume. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are prepared by a named team, VIP aviation catering is sealed and labelled, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered to the aircraft with a record of what went on board.
Special meals at Bouarfa follow a procedure, not a label. Moroccan cooking hides gluten in couscous, bread and msemen, nuts in pastries and sweets, and dairy in smen and soft cheese, so each restriction gets its own board and its own box. Kosher and halal requests are confirmed against the menu before cooking, vegan and gluten free plates are built from scratch, allergen free trays are sealed and marked by seat number, and kids meals are portioned for small hands.
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.
For a rotation through UAR, flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed to last: a hearty chicken and rice box, a cold salad box, and fruit. Crew catering is a separate line, cockpit meals are labelled by seat, and crew meal boxes with different meals for pilots are available on request, billed like any other item. Cabin crew meals can differ from the cockpit's, and we pack both accordingly.
FBO catering at Bouarfa is handed over at the aircraft: catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal goes through your handling agent. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are confirmed against the tail and the slot, and the person receiving the order signs for it on the apron.
At Bouarfa the aircraft type decides how the galley is loaded: a light jet takes trays by hand through the door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader at the sill. Galley catering is packed to the oven and drawer space of your type, airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the tail and the seat plan before we cook.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Bouarfa Airport, GMFB, serves the town of Bouarfa and the eastern steppe of L'Oriental Region in Morocco. It is an airport catering stop for general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services, with a simple terminal and a single paved runway. The elevation of 3,630 ft means thinner air and wide temperature swings.
Bouarfa is not a large business aviation hub, but it sees private traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are arranged through your handling agent, and aviation catering for a business aviation catering or executive jet catering flight is cooked and packed to your galley. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol first, and cabin crew meals travel boxed and marked CREW.
Morocco regulates the import of meat, dairy and fresh produce, and customs can hold food that arrives uncleared. Catering cooked locally for the departing leg avoids most of that, which is why we recommend building the menu here rather than carrying it in.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Having 8 guests request grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at GMFB meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a revised passenger count. The order made private jet meals feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the side dishes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the main courses properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“As the person coordinating beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 11 passengers at UAR, I needed an arrangement that considered a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls suggested separate meal boxes for the sauces, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need. My main takeaway from this private jet menu order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”
“Working around limited fridge space at Bouarfa Airport, I asked for a cheese board and savoury canapés in portions appropriate for our 3 passengers. The side dishes supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. We could distinguish the breakfast portions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. I want a private jet chef to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Think of it in dishes rather than hours: couscous with vegetables is modest, lamb with apricots is not, and both are possible for a night or dawn leg from this field. We price your actual menu and the count of trays, then invoice it as a normal order.
Lead time here is easiest when the plan is clear: the first meal hot, the second cold and ready for re-plating. Last-minute orders are handled for GMFB, and a two-service leg just needs us to know your galley before we cook.
Moroccan customs and import food rules matter most for inbound flights carrying meat or dairy; catering built locally for the departing leg avoids that. Your special meal request is checked against the menu, then packed in a separate box.
Many crews ask to use one local favourite: a date platter, a lamb tagine or a particular bread. We source it and cook it for your galley, so you do not need to carry anything in. Bringing your own food remains possible, subject to Moroccan customs rules.
Is catering part of a charter into Bouarfa? No, it is ordered and billed separately. The season matters: clear weather windows in spring and autumn are the easy ones, and menus lean on what travels well in each.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
