Catering to your aircraft in Tahoua.
Flights into Tahoua tend to be official, humanitarian or charter, rarely scheduled. We prepare the food for that rhythm and hand it over at the aircraft, any hour, by phone or email.
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.
Tahoua Region is Hausa and Tuareg country, and the private jet menu here is built from what the Sahel grows and what keeps in heat. A Tahoua inflight menu leans on millet, sorghum, groundnuts, dates and grilled or dried meat, all of which travel without a fridge-dependent sauce. Private jet food in Tahoua works best when each local speciality is named on the order with how it must finish: warm in the oven, chilled, or plated cold.
Our private jet platters for Tahoua Region mix regional dishes with simple international plates, and the gourmet inflight meals follow the same logic: nothing that collapses in a drawer. Private jet snacks are dates, roasted groundnuts, and millet cakes. These local specialities are cooked and packed, then handed over at the FBO.
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.
Most aircraft landing at DRRT come from Niamey or from abroad on official business, which is why diplomatic flight catering and executive jet catering are asked for more often than a holiday menu. We handle private jet catering for Tahoua as a custom order: in-flight catering sized to the galley, aviation catering handed to the handling agent, and business aviation catering that follows your passenger list. Cabin crew meals are ordered with it.
A typical Tahoua brief is a mid-size jet carrying four to eight passengers from Niamey or abroad. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour simple plates: VIP flight catering with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around grilled meat, rice and fresh fruit. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering are ordered like any other service, and invoiced like any other order.
Official visits to Tahoua mean heightened security and a fixed schedule. We provide government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering with sealed boxes and a cleared menu. State visit aircraft catering is handled with the protocol office, not the kitchen.
Tahoua is a largely Muslim city, so halal is the default for local meat and we plan it that way rather than as an exception. Kosher, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are cooked on separate boards and boxed with the seat number. Groundnuts and sesame run through many local dishes, so allergen free orders are checked line by line against the Tahoua recipe, not assumed.
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.
At DRRT, a crew meal is a box that survives a hot apron. Crew meals and flight crew meals are on request and invoiced with the order; pilot meals and cockpit meals are kept simple for a flight deck. Crew catering and crew meal boxes come labelled by role, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks.
FBO catering at Tahoua is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft, depending on the slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, who coordinates ground handling catering access to the apron. Handling agent catering details are agreed before the day.
Aircraft arriving at Tahoua range from turboprops to mid-size jets, and the type decides how galley catering is loaded. A smaller cabin door means carts are not an option and boxes go up by hand; a larger aircraft may need a high loader for airside catering delivery. Tell us the type and we plan aircraft provisioning around the door height and the handling agent at the apron.
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.

DRRT is a modest airfield on the Sahel plateau, used mainly by official, charter and humanitarian traffic. General aviation operators plan airport catering through the handling agent.
Business aviation at Tahoua is mostly executive jet traffic for government, mining and aid. Executive jet catering and aviation catering are ordered like anywhere else, and business aviation catering follows the passenger list. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for charters, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals for the crew are all handled as separate lines on one order. FBO services and ground handling services sit with your handling agent, and Tahoua works as a business aviation hub only in the loosest sense.
Niger customs apply to food loaded or unloaded at Tahoua, and fresh meat and dairy are the items most often questioned. Your handling agent confirms current import rules; we plan the order around local ingredients so paperwork stays light.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Timing and organisation mattered at THZ, where our order of grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 9 people involved an evening cabin service. The starters came from The Galley Girls in divided catering boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. With vip inflight catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The side dishes were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“With a family lunch request to consider at Tahoua Airport, we needed a practical way to serve a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides to 5 passengers. The order made private jet catering feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls grouped the crew provisions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the canapés without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“Small packing details became important at DRRT: our 9 passengers wanted a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides, and we had different crew meal preferences. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet catering services was how they handled galley preparation. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the side dishes clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the canapés to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
How much does private jet catering cost at Tahoua? It depends on what you order. Local grilled meat and Sahel starches are modest; imported premium items add up. We itemise the quote, then invoice it the same way, like any catering order.
For kosher, halal, allergen or child meals, lead time matters most when an ingredient must be sourced. At DRRT we handle special meals as orders of their own, and last-minute orders are handled. Send the dietary details and we confirm what is possible.
A two-service leg means two clear boxes: first service on top, second below, each labelled. Customs at DRRT inspect what is carried; sealed and labelled boxes make that quick to explain. Check with your handling agent for the current Niger rules.
You can, but it is easier not to. For a night departure or an early morning slot at DRRT, outside food has to clear customs and has no label for allergens. Ordering through us gives you sealed, marked boxes delivered at the FBO or aircraft.
Catering sits apart from the charter price, whichever aircraft lands at Tahoua. The type and galley guide the menu: with an oven we send dishes to finish hot, without one we send chilled plates for re-plating.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
