Private jet catering at Eros Airport (FYWE / ERS), Windhoek

Catering to your aircraft in Windhoek.

At Eros the day starts cold and clear, and light and midsize jets use the short runway above Windhoek. We cook for crews that land at 5,575 ft and need dishes that hold in a dry galley, with the handover at the FBO.

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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Windhoek

Windhoek and the Khomas Region eat game, and a private jet menu built for Eros starts there: oryx loin, kudu fillet, springbok carpaccio and Namibian beef from the farms around the plateau. The inflight menu keeps the braai tradition without the open fire: marinated cuts packed raw or cooked and chilled, with the chimichurri-style sauce in its own pot. Private jet food for Windhoek also draws on the coast, where Walvis Bay oysters and kingklip are the local specialities, and on German-influenced bakeries that give the city its pretzels, rye loaves and apple strudel. Private jet platters come as biltong and droewors boards, game terrine and fig-and-cheese plates. For gourmet inflight meals we pack a warm dish for the oven and a chilled one for guests who want to eat lightly at altitude. Private jet snacks follow the same line: biltong, roasted nuts, rusks and dried mango. These are the local specialities of Khomas Region, packed to travel in a galley.

A private jet menu for Windhoek is built on Namibian game meat, which is lean and shows well when it is finished on the aircraft. At Eros we plan the inflight menu around oryx, kudu and springbok, with Namibian beef for guests who prefer it, and private jet food that stands up to a cold, dry landing. Local specialities from the Khomas Region include biltong, droewors, game sausage, Walvis Bay oysters and Swakopmund seafood. Private jet platters pair these with dried figs, local cheese and German-style rye bread, a Windhoek habit since colonial times. Gourmet inflight meals are cooked and packed for the galley that your aircraft actually has: one oven, or none. Private jet snacks keep it simple: biltong, rusks and roasted nuts in sealed boxes. Everything is named and packed to leave cleanly at the FBO.

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

Eros sits high on the Khomas plateau, a small field where Windhoek's business aircraft park close to the general aviation terminal. Private jet catering here is built for a dry, cool-evening climate and a galley that rarely has more than one oven. Inflight catering for FYWE starts with what the crew will plate, then goes to the FBO. For longer charters, in-flight catering and aviation catering are shaped around Namibian game, fish from the coast and fresh desert-grown produce. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for Eros pass through your handling agent, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same plane-side handover.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Eros Airport (ERS)

A typical brief at Eros is a business jet bringing four to eight guests into Windhoek for a short stay, with a galley that has one oven. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour a kudu or oryx main, cold starters and a Namibian wine pairing list. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same plan, and luxury inflight catering adds oysters and cheese. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around what the cabin can serve.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Eros Airport

Government and head of state flights into Windhoek bring protocol into the kitchen: menus cleared by the protocol office, ingredients traced, a named team and no names on the labels. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering at Eros are handled with the same discretion as VIP aviation catering. For a state visit aircraft catering order, seal numbers go on the paperwork and the handover is signed at the aircraft.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Eros Airport (ERS)

Special meals at Eros follow a procedure written for Windhoek's kitchens, not a promise on a label. Game dishes come with marinades that often hide soy, nuts or wheat, so for kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests we cook from a separate board and pack in a separate box. Halal and kosher plates are sealed and opened only by the crew. Kids meals are built around simple local favourites such as mild boerewors, rice and fruit. Tell us the restriction and the seat number and the tray is marked by seat, never by name.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Eros Airport (ERS)

For the pilots and cabin crew landing at FYWE, the meals are something you ask for when you book the trip, and they appear on the same invoice as every other dish. Flight crew meals come as boxed hot or cold options, and pilot meals are packed so they can be eaten with one hand at the controls. Crew catering for the captain and first officer is separate, with cockpit meals that never repeat, and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW. On request we send different meals for pilots, so a fish dish and a meat dish never meet. Cabin crew meals keep their own box.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Eros Airport (ERS)

At Eros, FBO catering is handed over at the general aviation terminal or beside the aircraft, as your handling agent directs. Catering delivery to the FBO is booked against your slot, and ground handling catering follows the apron rules of the terminal. Handling agent catering means one contact who knows which door to open and which gate to use.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Eros Airport (ERS)

At Eros the aircraft type decides how the load goes aboard: a light jet takes a hand-carried galley box up the stairs, while a larger business jet needs a high loader to reach the main door. We confirm door height and galley position with your handling agent before anything is packed. Galley catering is cooked and boxed for the equipment you have, and airside catering delivery stays on the apron at your slot. For larger cabins we split aircraft provisioning into trays by galley section, so the crew can stow without reorganising.

About the airportFYWE / ERS

About Eros Airport (ERS): airport catering for business aviation

This is Windhoek's quieter airport, used for charters, safaris and corporate trips. Airport catering at Eros works with a small terminal, an open apron and a handling agent who coordinates. General aviation dominates, FBO services are compact and ground handling services are personal.

Business aviation

Eros is a business aviation hub for Namibia's capital, with safari charters in the dry season and corporate flights year round. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here suit small cabins, aviation catering is built around game and fish, and business aviation catering covers visiting executives. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are cleared through the handler, and cabin crew meals are packed apart.

Customs & food import

Customs and veterinary rules at Eros apply to inbound foods, especially meat and dairy. If you land with foreign fresh food, expect it to be held. Ordering the catering in Windhoek avoids the issue and the boxes pass directly to the aircraft.

★★★★☆CHARTER
“Having 10 guests request mushroom risotto and a green salad at ERS meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for limited fridge space. I would discuss private jet food with them again, especially when portion planning needs careful coordination. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The snack boxes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
Henry X. | Charter operator
Gulfstream G450
★★★★★VIP AIRLINER
“Menu approval at Eros Airport covered a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 8 guests, leaving us to organise the service around two separate meal services. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sandwiches, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The desserts went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet meals was how they handled packing arrangement.”
Valentina I. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Rather than an elaborate service at FYWE, our 12 guests wanted smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit, organised sensibly around different crew meal preferences. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the starters to be packed accordingly. The crew provisions were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet menu was how they handled meal organisation.”

The Eros questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Eros for a special-meal request such as kosher, halal or allergen free?+

The cheapest order at FYWE is a cold platter; the dearest is a sealed allergen-free hot dish with a separate sauce. Special-meal requests are priced per dish, then added to the rest of the menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Eros, and what local product can go on the menu?+

Lead time is easy here when you pick one local product: kudu, oryx, springbok or Walvis Bay oysters. Those are sourced in the region, so a request built around one of them runs smoothly, and last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs require for catering at Eros, and how does the season affect departures?+

At Eros, the weather window decides departures: dry, cool winter mornings are reliable, summer thunderstorms are not. Customs asks about meat and dairy on arrival, so inbound food is declared and local catering avoids the issue.

Can you bring food aboard at Eros, or must the handling agent arrange it?+

Yes, within customs limits, and your handling agent coordinates airside access either way. At Eros the simplest route is to let us supply and hand over at the FBO, where the agent signs it through.

Is catering part of a charter into Windhoek when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

No: a private jet charter does not include catering. Send the revised headcount for FYWE and we change quantities and dietary cards, still on the same separate invoice.
