Catering to your aircraft in Dawadmi.
Dawadmi is a plateau field where the apron heats up early and handovers need planning. Order from us by phone or email, day or night, and the food is packed to your galley.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Dawadmi sits in the Riyadh Region, on the Najd plateau, and a private jet menu here leans on what the interior of Saudi Arabia actually eats. Local specialities start with kabsa, the spiced rice and lamb dish, and jareesh, a cracked-wheat porridge served at gatherings. An inflight menu can carry both, as long as the rice travels in its own container and the lamb is finished in the galley oven.
Dates from the Najd are the other anchor: Sukkari and Khalas varieties, plus Arabic coffee with cardamom, served in a dallah-style pour if the cabin allows. For private jet food, we pack dates on a cold board with labneh, fresh vegetables and flatbread, while the hot course stays sealed until you re-plate. Local specialities from the Riyadh Region give your guests something specific to the ground below.

Dawadmi Domestic sits at 3,026 ft on the Najd plateau, where a late-afternoon departure means a hot apron and a galley that has to hold its temperature. Private jet catering here is planned around the dry heat and a short ground turn: cold boards that stay crisp, hot courses that finish in your oven, and cabin crew meals boxed apart. Inflight catering for OEDM covers corporate, charter and government sectors, while aviation catering follows the type of aircraft. Executive jet catering, business aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering are all handled to the same standard, with menus planned around the plateau's dates, lamb and Arabic coffee tradition.
A bespoke menu for Dawadmi starts from the cabin: business jet catering for owner flights, corporate jet catering for teams, charter flight catering for one-off movements. A private jet chef adapts VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering to the galley and the plateau climate.
For official movements through OEDM, state visit aircraft catering is cleared before cooking begins. Head of state flight catering and government flight catering keep a named team, and VIP aviation catering stays discreet and fully traceable.
Dietary requests at Dawadmi are handled as a procedure, not a label. Halal is standard across the Riyadh Region and we confirm the source for every protein. Kosher meals travel sealed on their own tray and stay closed until the passenger opens them. Vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are planned from the start. In Najdi cooking, allergens hide in ghee, nut-crusted rice toppings and tahini-based sauces, so special meals are checked line by line against the local recipe.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at Dawadmi are on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are boxed and labelled CREW. Crew catering can include different meals for pilots, and crew meal boxes are packed to eat one-handed on the flight deck, with cabin crew meals boxed separately.
At OEDM, ground handling catering depends on the handling agent. Handling agent catering and catering delivery to the FBO are arranged ahead, with the general aviation terminal as the handover point and FBO catering loaded in order.
Aircraft type decides how galley catering reaches the cabin at Dawadmi. A light jet or midsize aircraft usually takes the order through the main door by hand, while a larger cabin may need a high loader and a handling agent with airside access. Airside catering delivery is coordinated before your slot, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout you tell us: oven, chiller or drawers only. Tell us the type and we pack to fit.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Dawadmi Domestic Airport (OEDM / DWD) is a small field on the Najd plateau, in the Riyadh Region. For general aviation it works as a quiet business aviation hub: one terminal, one apron, and airport catering that depends on your handling agent. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged on the day, so the order and the vehicle access are confirmed together.
Traffic into DWD is general aviation first: owner flights, small charters and the occasional official movement. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around the plateau heat, and aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft type and its galley. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are available on request, as are crew meals for the flight deck.
For general aviation into Saudi Arabia, imported fresh meat and produce are restricted and halal sourcing is expected. Ordering locally at Dawadmi avoids the issue, and your handling agent confirms airside access for the delivery vehicle before the slot.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Service planning came first at DWD, with 7 passengers choosing roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and a revised passenger count influencing our preparation. The sauces supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the breakfast portions without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I would discuss business aviation catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination.”
“Clear quantities were essential at Dawadmi Domestic Airport: we had 11 passengers expecting a cheese board and savoury canapés and were working around a tight boarding window. After a final adjustment to the sauces, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The order made jet catering feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
“Our priority at OEDM was roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 2 passengers, with a revised passenger count shaping the service plan. Our brief for VIP flight catering was met with a sensible plan for crew briefing. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
If your crew is waiting at Dawadmi for a return leg, the order tends to grow: extra crew meal boxes, a hot course instead of a cold one. That is what moves the cost, along with lamb versus chicken and fresh versus preserved. Tell us the duty plan and we build a quote around it.
A manifest that changes late is normal for charter flights into Dawadmi. We pack with a small buffer and keep cold items flexible so a late addition does not break the order. Last-minute orders are handled; the quote just follows the final count.
Dawadmi has a small domestic terminal, so the customs picture is mostly about handling agent procedure and airside access. We send the order details to your agent ahead of time. Saudi food import rules apply to anything carried in from abroad.
Bringing food into Dawadmi is possible, though dust, heat and a moving departure window make it risky for fresh items. Saudi import rules also apply. We pack for delays, with items that hold in a warm cabin.
No, the charter does not carry catering for you. You order it, we confirm it, and it is billed as its own line. Local products like Arabic coffee and dates make the menu feel specific.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
