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

Local specialities from Freetown (Lungi-Town) for your inflight catering

Freetown (Lungi-Town) and the wider Northern Province sit on a coast of rivers, mangrove and open sea, and the private jet menu follows it. Local specialities here are built on fish, cassava, rice and palm oil, and a private jet food order for GFLL can borrow from them without losing the galley logic: what travels cold, what finishes in the oven, what goes in a pot apart. Grilled barracuda, cassava leaf with rice, jollof and fried plantain become gourmet inflight meals once they are portioned per seat and labelled for re-plating. For the cabin we add private jet platters of tropical fruit, cashews and cold seafood, and private jet snacks such as roasted groundnuts and plantain chips. The inflight menu for Northern Province is short on purpose, because heat and humidity reward simple, sealed dishes.

A private jet menu for Lungi International starts from the Sierra Leone table rather than a generic hotel list. Local specialities from Freetown (Lungi-Town) and the Northern Province: cassava leaf stew, groundnut soup, jollof rice, grilled river and sea fish, sweet plantain. We cook them as private jet food, which means sauces in their own pots, rice packed to steam back, fish served chilled or finished in the oven. Gourmet inflight meals, private jet platters of mango, pineapple and cold prawns, and private jet snacks like cashews and baked plantain chips round out an inflight menu that survives a hot apron and a cabin that sits waiting for pax.

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

Lungi International sits on the northern shore of the Sierra Leone River estuary, and the rainy season decides how a rotation here is provisioned. Private jet catering for GFLL is built for a galley that may have one oven and no time to improvise: inflight catering packed by former VIP flight attendants, labelled by seat. Aviation catering for business aviation catering crews, executive jet catering for owners, and diplomatic flight catering for state movements all follow the same rule: cabin crew meals and guest trays come marked, apart, and ready to re-plate.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Lungi International Airport (GFLL)

A corporate rotation through Lungi International usually means a small cabin, a long day, and a guest list that changes. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at GFLL start from the galley: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the oven count, and VIP flight catering is plated cold or finished hot. For a charter flight catering order, luxury inflight catering means sturdy dishes that survive heat, not complicated ones.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Lungi International Airport (GFLL)

State movements through GFLL are planned with the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering share one rule here: nothing leaves the kitchen unrecorded, and discretion is part of the order.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Lungi International Airport (GFLL)

At Lungi International the local kitchen leans on groundnut, fish, shellfish and wheat flour, so allergen free meals are planned dish by dish. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals are packed as special meals in a separate box with a card per guest, never loose in the drawer. Give us the restrictions with the tail and the slot, and tell us which dishes carry a groundnut base so we can cook around it.

FBO catering at Lungi International Airport (FNA): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Lungi International is handed over where the aircraft is parked: the FBO or the general aviation terminal, through your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with ground handling catering paperwork so airside access is cleared before the slot, and handling agent catering stays consistent from order to apron.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Lungi International Airport (FNA)

Galley catering at GFLL depends on the type: a light jet takes trays through the airstair, while a widebody on a state or VIP rotation needs the door and the high loader arranged. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is packed to the galley you actually have, oven count and drawer layout included.

About the airportGFLL / FNA

General aviation and airport catering at Lungi International Airport (FNA)

Lungi International serves Freetown from the northern shore of the estuary, and airport catering for the aircraft here is shaped by the geography and the rain. General aviation traffic is modest, but the airport is the capital's main gateway, so FBO services and ground handling services matter on every trip.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a generous term for FNA, but mining, port and diplomatic traffic keep it active. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights are about sealed, durable food, aviation catering and business aviation catering are shaped by the heat, executive jet catering is planned per tail, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart.

Customs & food import

Sierra Leone applies its own import and inspection rules to food, and fresh meat, dairy and produce are the items most likely to be questioned. We tell you the consequence for your order up front: sealed items, printed lists, and no loose produce, with your handling agent coordinating clearance.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Small packing details became important at FNA: our 3 passengers wanted a mezze selection with flatbreads, and we had a late menu amendment. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates into stackable containers that were easy to handle. I could hand the main courses to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I want a private jet catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Having 12 guests request herb chicken with a quinoa salad at Lungi International Airport meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a family lunch request. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the crew provisions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. We also checked the salads before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
Manon L. | FBO operator

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Service planning came first at GFLL, with 2 passengers choosing poached fish with steamed rice and a small galley worktop influencing our preparation. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about final order confirmation. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the salads and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the canapés were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

What crews ask before Freetown (Lungi-Town)Asked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a rotation through Lungi International in the rainy season?+

Cost at FNA moves with the season and the dishes. Sealed local dishes such as jollof or cassava leaf sit lower, imported cheese, wine or fresh herbs for a Freetown stay sit higher. We price the menu you choose, not a tray count, and you see it before the aircraft arrives.

What is the lead time for a return leg ordered at Lungi International for the way back?+

What makes a return order easy here is that the galley stays the same: same oven, same drawers, same restrictions. Send the way-back slot with the outbound and we pack to it; if the rain delays you, a later slot is simply an update.

What do customs require for food on a night departure or early morning slot from Sierra Leone?+

A night departure means the officer on duty sees the delivery alone, so we make it easy: sealed containers, a printed list, no loose produce. Rules on raw meat and fresh fruit differ by origin, and we check them against your trip.

Can you bring food of your own into Lungi International, and what changes with the handling agent and airside access?+

The handling agent is the key at GFLL. Food you bring yourself is judged at the security and customs checks, while food we deliver comes with a packing list and an agent-cleared access. If you prefer to bring your own, tell the agent early.

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

A repositioning flight into Lungi International usually carries no cabin service, and catering is never assumed within a charter. If the crew want meals for the leg, order them and they are invoiced like any other order.
