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 Saidu Sharif for your inflight catering

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa gives a private jet menu from Saidu Sharif a clear local character. Swat Valley rainbow trout is the signature river product, and it travels best pan-seared and chilled, or kept whole and re-plated on board. Peshawari-style lamb, chapli kebab and slow-cooked karahi are the dishes passengers ask for first, and each can be packed with the sauce in its own pot. Our inflight menu keeps naan, rice and chutneys in separate containers, so the galley oven is used only where a dish needs it. Private jet food here also means dried fruit, walnuts and honey from the valley, which suit private jet snacks and breakfast trays. Local specialities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa adapt well to gourmet inflight meals, and private jet platters of kebabs, fruit and dried nuts suit a cold lunch. Ask for a private jet menu from Saidu Sharif built around the valley and we cook it for your aircraft.

A private jet menu for Saidu Sharif draws on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: river trout from Swat, charcoal kebabs, lamb and rice dishes, fresh naan, green tea and qahwa. Each of these local specialities is packed for a galley, with hot items marked for the oven and sauces kept apart. Our inflight menu pairs them with plain grilled options for passengers who prefer lighter private jet food. Valley apricots, mulberries, walnuts and honey work as private jet snacks, and shared private jet platters of fruit, cheese and nuts suit the cold course. These gourmet inflight meals reach your aircraft through the FBO, so the Saidu Sharif region is on the tray without a chef on board.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Saidu Sharif Airport (OPSS)

Saidu Sharif Airport sits at 3,183 ft in the Swat Valley, and the weather window decides most departures here. Private jet catering for OPSS is built around that: a galley that may sit through a long wait, and a return leg you may want loaded on the way in. Our inflight catering is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, and our aviation catering follows the aircraft, not the calendar. For business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering out of SDT, we label cabin crew meals and guest trays separately.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Saidu Sharif Airport (SDT)

A typical business brief out of Saidu Sharif is a small party in a light or mid-size jet, flying to or from Swat for a few days. Business jet catering here is built around that galley: Swat trout or lamb for the outbound, a chilled option for the return. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering for charter flight catering requests follow the same route, with luxury inflight catering written with a private jet chef as a bespoke menu around the passengers' preferences.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Saidu Sharif Airport

Dietary requests at Saidu Sharif are a procedure, not a label. Halal is the default across most local lamb, chicken and beef, and kosher meals are sealed and handed over unopened. Vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards, which matters in a cuisine where flatbread, ghee and marinades hide allergens. Allergen free and special meals are marked by seat number, and kids meals are packed apart from the guest trays.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Saidu Sharif (SDT)

When departures at OPSS slip, crew wait, and crew meals become a real decision. On request we pack flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals in crew meal boxes marked CREW, invoiced like the rest of the order. Crew catering follows the duty day, with different meals for pilots and cabin crew meals packed separately, hot or cold.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Saidu Sharif Airport

At Saidu Sharif the food goes to the FBO or the handling agent, and from there to the aircraft. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO on your slot are the same service here as anywhere. The general aviation terminal is small, so ground handling catering and handling agent catering are agreed in advance on the access route.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Saidu Sharif Airport (SDT)

At OPSS the aircraft type decides the loading, not the menu. A light jet or turboprop is usually served by hand from a vehicle at the apron, while a larger cabin may need a high loader to reach the galley door. Tell us the type and where the galley sits, and we plan galley catering, airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning around the door height and the carts you really have. At Saidu Sharif we confirm the access route with your handling agent before the food is packed.

About the airportOPSS / SDT

General aviation and airport catering at Saidu Sharif Airport (SDT)

Saidu Sharif Airport serves the Swat Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and sits at 3,183 ft. It is a small general aviation terminal for airport catering, with an apron that handles light and mid-size aircraft.

Business aviation

SDT is a regional gateway rather than a hub. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for business aviation catering are ordered around the season and the weather, and aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same route. General aviation here uses FBO services and ground handling services, with the business aviation hub at larger airports.

Customs & food import

Pakistan applies its own controls on imported meat, dairy and fresh produce, and customs at the arrival airport decide what may stay on board. For catering ordered at Saidu Sharif, we label every container and keep leftovers separable so the handling agent can deal with them.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Several practical details needed attention at OPSS, with a mezze selection with flatbreads requested for 11 guests and an evening cabin service to accommodate. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of starters matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

“Between cabin checks at SDT, I coordinated a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 4 guests and explained our concerns about a family lunch request. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about charter flight catering. The Galley Girls updated the starters in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The note about the sauces was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“As the person coordinating a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 7 passengers at Saidu Sharif Airport, I needed an arrangement that considered two separate meal services. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The main courses were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. For private jet food, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

Ordering for OPSS, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for the return leg out of Saidu Sharif?+

A return leg ordered from OPSS is priced like the first one: line by line, with covers and dishes shown. Lamb karahi and hot service cost more than a cold lunch of fruit, nuts and cheese. How much does private jet catering cost depends on that choice and on how many are flying; we confirm it before packing.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at OPSS when the turnaround is short?+

For OPSS, the slot and the stop decide the menu, and lead time follows from that. A fuller turnaround means a hot service is possible; a brief one means chilled. We take last-minute requests 24/7 and hand over at the FBO or plane-side.

How do customs affect catering on a long leg from Saidu Sharif with two services on board?+

Before a long leg leaves OPSS, we check what the destination allows. Customs may remove meat, fruit or dairy on arrival, so the second service is packed apart. We label each container and keep it simple for the handling agent.

Can you bring food to a private flight out of Saidu Sharif, and what about the weather window?+

Yes, passengers can bring their own food, but valley weather can hold a departure for hours. A tray prepared fresh and packed to wait is safer than one made in advance. Customs at arrival may still restrict what you carry.

Is catering part of a charter into Saidu Sharif when crew wait on the ground?+

The charter does not include food. Crew waiting at OPSS may need more than one meal, and that is ordered and invoiced separately, as for any flight. We keep the order simple: slot, covers, dishes.
