Catering to your aircraft in Hargeisa.

At 4,471 feet, Egal International gets thin air and long sunny days, and the galley needs food that survives both. We prepare Somali dishes for the crew and passengers and deliver them plane-side through your handling agent.

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

Hargeisa on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at HGA

For private jet food at Egal International, we start from what Maroodi Jeex actually eats: camel and goat stews, bariis (rice) with sultanas and cardamom, and grilled meats served with bananas, a Somali habit worth knowing. The private jet menu is written around those local specialities, and the inflight menu keeps the sauces in their own pots so rice stays dry on the tray.

Gourmet inflight meals from Hargeisa lean on dishes that travel: sambusa that stays crisp, suqaar that reheats evenly, and laxoox flatbread with honey and ghee for breakfast legs. Private jet platters of fresh fruit and grilled skewers sit chilled until service. Private jet snacks include dates, halwo and roasted peanuts, and shaah spiced tea comes in a sealed flask. All of these local specialities are halal.

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

Egal International sits high on the Maroodi Jeex plateau, 4,471 ft up, and that elevation shapes what a galley can do with a tray of food. Private jet catering at HCMH is built for that reality: Somali dishes cooked and packed so they hold, plus the crew meals nobody remembers to ask for. For inflight catering and aviation catering at Hargeisa we work around the galley you actually have. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are marked by seat, and diplomatic flight catering gets its own protocol. Cabin crew meals travel in labelled boxes, and in-flight catering requests can be placed 24/7.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Egal International Airport (HGA)

For corporate jet catering at Hargeisa, we start with the aircraft: a light jet with one oven, or a heavier cabin with a full galley. Business jet catering here is shaped by passenger count, and charter flight catering and VIP flight catering follow the same logic. Luxury inflight catering leans on local produce wherever the season allows, and inflight catering and in-flight catering orders are marked by seat. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu, then labels every box.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Hargeisa (HCMH)

Government flight catering at Hargeisa deals with delegations and visiting officials, and head of state flight catering requires the protocol office to clear the menu before cooking. VIP aviation catering covers dignitaries, and state visit aircraft catering is packed in sealed, traceable boxes. Discretion matters more than display at HCMH.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Egal International Airport

Somali cooking in Maroodi Jeex is halal as a matter of course, so halal at Hargeisa is the baseline, not an exception. Kosher is a separate procedure with sealed, supervised packing. Special meals such as vegan, gluten free and allergen free need more care here, because ghee, wheat flatbread and nut-based sweets turn up in many dishes: each is cooked and boxed apart from the others, with the code on the lid. Kids meals run to plain rice, grilled chicken and fruit.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Egal International Airport

At Hargeisa, crew catering is a distinct order: crew meals are on request and billed separately. We box flight crew meals with rice, grilled meat and fruit, and pack pilot meals and cockpit meals in separate crew meal boxes so the captain and first officer never share a dish. Different meals for pilots are made on demand. Cabin crew meals go in a third box, marked CREW, and the crew catering handover happens at the FBO.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Egal International Airport

At Hargeisa, the handover happens at the FBO or beside the aircraft, and handling agent catering is the link that makes it work. Ground handling catering covers the airside pass, and catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is confirmed before the van leaves the kitchen. FBO catering orders go through the same channel every time.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Egal International Airport (HCMH)

On the Egal International apron, the aircraft you fly decides how galley catering gets from the van to the cabin door. For a light or midsize jet the trays are carried up the air stairs by hand; for a larger cabin we arrange a high loader through the handling agent for airside catering delivery. Aircraft provisioning at HCMH is planned around the door height and the galley layout, so we need the tail number before cooking starts.

About the airportHCMH / HGA

About Egal International Airport (HGA): airport catering for business aviation

Hargeisa's Egal International handles general aviation alongside scheduled traffic, and FBO services are available for private arrivals. Airport catering is delivered through the handling agent, and ground handling services on a quiet apron make a plane-side handover straightforward.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a generous label for HCMH, but private traffic is steady with delegations, aid operators and investors, and ground handling services are set up for them. Inflight catering and in-flight catering on these legs are practical rather than lavish. Aviation catering for business aviation catering requests and executive jet catering is planned around the galley, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are boxed for the long wait on the ground.

Customs & food import

Food-import rules in Somalia apply to anything flown in, so ingredients bought and cooked at Hargeisa are the simplest to clear. Your ground handling services team presents the declared meal list at the aircraft, and we keep it matching the passenger and crew count.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Small packing details became important at Egal International Airport: our 10 passengers wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, and we had different crew meal preferences. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the side dishes had been grouped. The cabin team could match the salads to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. For our team, the strongest part of their inflight catering services was how they handled final order confirmation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Packing a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 11 passengers at HCMH needed careful thought, especially given limited fridge space. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the sandwiches, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the main courses before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I want an inflight catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“My order at HGA covered beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 11 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a family lunch request. I asked The Galley Girls for the starters in individual containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience. The snack boxes stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Before you order at HCMHAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Hargeisa?+

Because Hargeisa's dry and wet seasons change what the markets stock, a private jet catering quote here shifts with produce. Local halal meat is steady; fresh herbs and soft fruit vary. We price after the menu is agreed, and a rainy-season departure may add ingredients we source early.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at HCMH?+

Lead time depends on how quickly the handling agent can clear the delivery for the apron. We work with whoever manages your FBO handling at HCMH. Orders placed close to departure are handled, using ingredients already in the kitchen.

What are the customs rules for catering at Hargeisa?+

Because passenger numbers can change late, we pack with spare portions and keep a single declared list for customs at Hargeisa. Somalia restricts some imported fresh foods, so locally prepared dishes are the simplest to clear. Your handling agent confirms what needs declaring.

Can you bring food on board at Hargeisa?+

Food from elsewhere can be taken aboard subject to customs, but for crews watching duty time, a local meal handed over plane-side is easier. We pack cockpit meals separately from guest trays with a clear label.

Is catering part of a charter into Hargeisa?+

Is catering part of a charter into Hargeisa? It is not. The charter covers the aircraft; food is ordered and billed apart. Because customs rules on food imports apply, we cook locally and hand over at the FBO.
