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 Mazar-i-Sharif for your inflight catering

Balkh Province eats from the plain: slow rice with carrot and raisins, lamb on the skewer, yoghurt, flatbread, melons and pomegranates in season. A private jet menu for Mazar-i-Sharif leans on exactly that, adapted for a galley. Our inflight menu keeps the rice in its own pan, the meat sliced for the plate and the yoghurt chilled.

Private jet food from Mazar-i-Sharif travels well because the local specialities were built for travellers: dried apricots, almonds, pistachios, sweet bread and dense stews. We build private jet platters from them and gourmet inflight meals around the palov and the grill. Private jet snacks come from the same shelf: nuts, dried fruit and sesame sweets. Every private jet menu for Mazar-i-Sharif and Balkh Province is written for the galley you have.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport (OAMS)

At 1,284 feet on the Balkh plain, Mazar-i-Sharif International is a stop where northern Afghan cooking meets a tight galley brief. Our private jet catering is written by former VIP flight attendants, so palov, bread and fruit leave the kitchen packed the way you will actually serve them. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for OAMS follow one logic: what survives the leg and the oven. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders go through your FBO, diplomatic flight catering through your protocol contact, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order, on request.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Mazar-i-Sharif for business and VIP flights (MZR)

Business jet catering at Mazar-i-Sharif is usually a small, precise order: four to eight guests, one hot course, fruit and bread. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here work best when the dish is local and the galley is respected. For charter flight catering we ask for tail, slot and seat plan; for luxury inflight catering we keep the line short. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around palov, kebab and seasonal fruit.

At Mazar-i-Sharif, halal is the baseline of the local kitchen, and kosher is handled as a separate sealed order. Vegan and gluten free meals are easy to build from rice, lentils and vegetables, while the places where allergens hide here are the sesame sweets, the nut mixes and the yoghurt sauces.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport (MZR): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Mazar-i-Sharif is handed over at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the same route as any other aircraft supply. Handling agent catering stays simple: one contact, one handover.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport

Mazar-i-Sharif International receives aircraft of very different sizes, and the type decides how the food reaches the cabin. A light jet takes boxes through the main door; a larger cabin may need a high loader. Galley catering is packed to the aircraft's galley, with oven and drawer space in mind, and airside catering delivery follows the same route as other aircraft provisioning at the apron: through the FBO or your handling agent.

About the airportOAMS / MZR

General aviation and airport catering at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport (MZR)

OAMS is the main gateway for Balkh Province and a working business aviation hub in the north of the country, with an apron shared by general aviation and visiting aircraft. Planning airport catering here means reading the weather and the slot first: the field sits dry and flat at 1,284 feet, and FBO services and ground handling services run through the general aviation terminal.

Business aviation

For OAMS, inflight catering and in-flight catering mean food for the leg after the stop. Aviation catering and business aviation catering cover the whole trip, executive jet catering the corporate side, and diplomatic flight catering the official one. Cabin crew meals complete the order.

Customs & food import

Customs at Mazar-i-Sharif look at what enters and leaves the aircraft, and your handling agent, who provides the ground handling services on the field, is the right person to ask about it. FBO services can pass on the current rules, but a sealed, labelled box with a list of contents is the simplest route. Meat and dairy deserve a word with the business aviation hub's handling team before departure.

★★★★★CHARTER

“With a late menu amendment to consider at MZR, we needed a practical way to serve smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit to 12 passengers. My main takeaway from this business jet catering order was the practical approach to catering handover. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the starters before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. We could account for the side dishes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

Antonio V. | Charter operator

Gulfstream G450

★★★★☆VIP AIRLINER

“Our priority at Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport was prawn salad and small fruit plates for 10 passengers, with several individual meal preferences shaping the service plan. The starters from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The sauces were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. This experience of business aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure.”

Pedro E. | Chief cabin officer

BBJ

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“For 8 passengers departing from OAMS, the agreed menu was mushroom risotto and a green salad; our main consideration was a tight boarding window. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the canapés clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the breakfast portions to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I would discuss jet catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination.”

Naomi P. | Chief flight attendant

Asked before every OAMS slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost if a Balkh product goes on the menu?+

Take a tray of palov with dried apricots and mulberries from the Balkh bazaar: the local ingredients keep that line modest, while imported cheese or out-of-season berries lift it. How much private jet catering costs depends on which of those you choose, and we quote the real menu.

Can the headcount change late, and how does lead time work at OAMS?+

Passenger numbers shift at the last minute on this field, and we adjust. Lead time depends on the dishes: bread, kebab and fruit are simple, imported or special items need more notice. Last-minute orders are handled.

Customs: can I order the return leg from Mazar-i-Sharif now?+

Yes. Afghan export rules and your next country's import rules both apply, so the return meal travels in a sealed, labelled box with its contents listed. Your crew can answer a customs question in one sentence.

Can you bring food of your own for a tight turnaround at the apron?+

You can bring your own food, subject to airport and customs rules. With a short stop, our catering is packed for your galley, marked by seat, and passed over at the aircraft on your slot, so nothing needs sorting on the ramp.

Is catering part of a charter on a long leg out of Mazar-i-Sharif with two services?+

No. Is catering part of a charter? Not here: the charter covers the aircraft, and food is ordered and invoiced on its own. For two services on a long leg we pack two labelled sets, the first ready for the drawer, the second for the oven.
