Catering to your aircraft in Lagos.

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 Lagos (LOS)

Start the Lagos inflight menu with what the city does best: jollof rice, grilled fish, suya and slow-cooked stews. Private jet food from this region is heavily seasoned, so we ask how hot the cabin wants it and send the pepper separately. Local specialities travel well when the sauce is apart and the proteins are packed to finish in the oven. Lagos State's tropical fruit, pineapple, mango and watermelon, is cut and chilled for the cabin the same day.

A private jet menu for Lagos can be ambitious or very simple. The ambitious version is a tasting of Nigerian dishes: pepper soup, suya, jollof and a grilled prawn course. The simple version is private jet platters of fruit, cold cuts and local snacks. Gourmet inflight meals work best when each dish has one job: a stew to re-plate hot, a salad to stay chilled. We pack private jet snacks like chin chin and groundnuts in sealed bags, so nothing softens in the heat of the apron.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS)

A business jet catering brief at Lagos usually names a short Nigerian menu: jollof, suya, grilled fish. Corporate jet catering for executives often adds a cold platter, and VIP flight catering follows protocol on seating and allergens. Charter flight catering is ordered per flight, with luxury inflight catering where the guest list calls for it. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around what is in season in Lagos.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Murtala Muhammed International Airport

Special meals at Lagos follow a procedure, not a promise. Nigerian cooking leans on groundnut, shrimp powder and palm oil, so allergen free means a separate board, separate pots and a sealed tray, with no names on the labels, only seat numbers. Kosher and halal meals are sealed and unopened until the guest does it, vegan and gluten free plates avoid the usual stock and flour thickeners, and kids meals can be milder versions of the same dishes.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Murtala Muhammed International Airport

When the rotation is long, crew meals matter. At DNMM we pack flight crew meals in sealed trays that survive a delay, and pilot meals separately, so different meals for pilots are never mixed. Crew catering is a catalogue item, on request and billed normally. Cockpit meals come labelled, crew meal boxes stack in the drawer, and cabin crew meals can include local fruit.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Murtala Muhammed International Airport

FBO catering at Lagos is handed over at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO goes through the general aviation terminal, with ground handling catering arranged by your handling agent. Handling agent catering means the agent controls the pass and the vehicle, so give us the tail and the slot and we coordinate the handover.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Murtala Muhammed International Airport

Large aircraft at DNMM change the delivery plan. A wide-body calls for galley catering loaded by high loader, with airside catering delivery arranged through your handling agent and the apron team. We ask for the type and the door so the carts are sized correctly, and aircraft provisioning is staged by galley position. On a business jet, the same order goes up the airstair in sealed boxes and drawers. Tell us which it is and we pack accordingly.

About the airportDNMM / LOS

Airport catering at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (DNMM)

DNMM, also called LOS, serves Lagos, a commercial capital where business aviation is steady. The general aviation terminal handles charter and corporate arrivals, and airport catering is organised through ground handling services so the cart gets to the aircraft in good order.

Business aviation

Lagos is a business aviation hub where corporate and charter traffic mix. Our inflight catering and in-flight catering respect humidity and storms, aviation catering is aligned with FBO services, business aviation catering covers executive jet catering for visiting teams, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are on request.

Customs & food import

Nigerian customs control imported food, especially meat, dairy and fresh produce, so locally cooked catering is the practical choice. Your handling agent sorts the pass for airside delivery, and we send a manifest of what is in each box so checks go smoothly.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“The 8 passenger portions of roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables were the easy part; managing limited fridge space at Murtala Muhammed International Airport took more planning. I would discuss business aviation catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the desserts, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The breakfast portions were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“One detail shaped our order at DNMM: limited fridge space, alongside a request for a cheese board and savoury canapés for 3 passengers. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the jet catering arrangements. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the desserts readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the snack boxes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Packing herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 7 passengers at LOS needed careful thought, especially given an evening cabin service. I needed the crew provisions checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The side dishes remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. For our team, the strongest part of their VIP flight catering was how they handled crew briefing.”

Before you order at DNMMAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a Lagos stop when the crew is waiting on the ground?+

The price follows what you order, not how long the crew waits. A long crew duty day on the ground in Lagos does not change the cost of the tray, but it does change what you want: crew catering that holds, sealed and re-platable, rather than something that must be eaten at once. Stone crab does not apply here; fresh prawns cost more than a jollof tray, and an extra pepper soup costs a little more.

What is the lead time at DNMM if the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Lagos departures rarely hold to the first manifest. We keep the menu modular so a late change in covers is absorbed: portions are sealed individually and labelled by seat. Order whenever you know the slot; we handle same-day and last-minute requests, day or night.

What are the customs rules on food at Lagos, and how does the handling agent get catering airside?+

The practical rule: locally prepared food clears easily; imported food can be refused. Your handling agent controls airside access, so we work through them, sending the menu and the box count in advance. Phone us if the agent needs any document.

Can you bring food of your own into Lagos, and how does the rainy season affect departures?+

If the weather window decides departures, food that must be eaten fresh is a risk. Our local meals are packed for delay: chilled items stay chilled, hot items finish in the oven when you are ready. Imported food faces customs checks as well.

Is catering part of a charter into Lagos, and can you put a local product like suya on the menu?+

No, a private jet charter does not cover the menu. We take the order separately and invoice it as a standalone item. A local product like suya can be added to any menu, packed with its spice rub and vegetables apart so it re-plates cleanly.
