Catering to your aircraft in Hawtah.
Dust, heat and a wide Najd sky: Hawtah (OEHW) rewards food that holds in the drawer. Former VIP flight attendants pack for your galley and hand over at the FBO, day or night.
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.
Hawtah sits in the Riyadh Region, on the edge of the Najd plateau, and the local table here is built around that desert kitchen. A private jet menu for OEHW leans on dishes that travel well: kabsa-style spiced rice with lamb or chicken, packed in a sealed tray and finished in your oven, and mutabbaq or sambousek that crisp up again without drying out. Your inflight menu can open with Saudi coffee, qahwa, with cardamom, and Sukkari dates, a pairing guests from the region often expect before anything else. Private jet food from Riyadh Region leans savoury, so we keep the sweet side simple: ma'amoul and fresh fruit that stays firm in the heat. These local specialities are packed for the galley, with sauce apart and dressing in its own pot so a salad is not soaked by the time it is served. Flatbread and hummus travel chilled and re-plate cold. Anything that does not hold in desert air is left off the list.
The Riyadh Region gives Hawtah its local specialities: slow-cooked lamb, rice cooked in broth, flatbreads, and dates from the wider Najd. For a private jet menu out of OEHW we choose from those, and from what holds on a warm apron at 2,091 ft. A typical inflight menu may start with Arabic coffee and Sukkari dates, then move to grilled chicken with spiced rice, with the sauce apart. Private jet food for a Saudi sector avoids pork and alcohol-based cooking by default, and we confirm anything else with you. Shorbat adas, red lentil soup, travels in a sealed pot and finishes in the oven. Fruit, nuts and ma'amoul round out the cold side, packed in rigid boxes, never loose. Everything is written for your galley and the number of guests aboard, with local specialities chosen by you from the Riyadh Region list.

Hawtah Airport (OEHW) sits at 2,091 ft in the Riyadh Region, where dry heat shapes what survives a galley drawer. Private jet catering here is planned around that heat: chilled platters packed to hold, hot dishes that finish in your oven, and inflight catering that arrives sealed at the FBO. In-flight catering for a Saudi sector also means checking what the cabin can carry, and aviation catering is built for a quick turn, not a long ground stop. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all start from your galley, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced like everything else.
Business jet catering at Hawtah is a short brief: type, guests, slot. Corporate jet catering here favours dishes that hold in desert warmth, and VIP flight catering follows the cabin's tastes. For a charter flight catering order, a private jet chef plans a bespoke menu around your galley, with luxury inflight catering where the cabin supports it.
Government flight catering at Hawtah follows protocol: named staff, sealed trays, a menu cleared before anything is cooked. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering both rely on discretion, and state visit aircraft catering is documented from kitchen to cabin.
Special meals at Hawtah start from the local kitchen. Halal is the default in Saudi Arabia, so a halal or kosher request is confirmed against what the supplier can seal and label, and kosher is planned ahead with a sealed tray, never improvised. Vegan and gluten free dishes are easy to build around lentils, rice and vegetables, but flatbread, sauces and some spice mixes hide wheat or dairy, so allergen free meals are packed apart and labelled by seat. Kids meals stay plain: rice, grilled chicken, fruit. Each special meal travels on its own board and in its own box.
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.
On a Saudi rotation, the crew eat when the aircraft allows. Crew meals here are a catalogue item, requested with the flight and billed on the invoice. Flight crew meals and pilot meals come in separate boxes, crew catering is never mixed with guest trays, cockpit meals are easy to eat in the seat, crew meal boxes are marked, and different meals for pilots can be supplied on request.
At Hawtah the food goes to the FBO or your handling agent, who carries it out to the aircraft. FBO catering is planned around the general aviation terminal and the door your crew will use, and catering delivery to the FBO arrives sealed and labelled box by box. Handling agent catering at OEHW means one contact on the apron: tell us who meets the aircraft and we write their name on the order. Ground handling catering is coordinated through that same agent, so the trays reach the galley without a second handover.
Hawtah is a small field, so the aircraft decides how food reaches the cabin. A large cabin or a government aircraft with a high sill may need a high loader for airside catering delivery, while a light jet is served from a van at the door. Tell us the type and where the galley sits, and we plan galley catering and aircraft provisioning around the equipment your handling agent can bring. Carts, boxes and insulated bags are sized for that door.
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.

Hawtah Airport serves general aviation in the Najd, a dry plateau at 2,091 ft. Airport catering is arranged for a quiet apron, FBO services are limited to what the terminal offers, and ground handling services come through your handling agent.
Hawtah is a modest business aviation hub in the Riyadh Region. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here depend on what the aircraft carries; business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow your type. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are available on request.
Saudi Arabia restricts pork, alcohol and certain imported meats, so catering for Hawtah is prepared locally and sealed. Customs may inspect food left aboard, and your handling agent confirms what can remain. We label every box for a clean inspection.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around limited fridge space at Hawtah Airport, I asked for a mezze selection with flatbreads in portions appropriate for our 7 passengers. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the vip inflight catering arrangements. After a final adjustment to the sauces, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the breakfast portions was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”
“I wanted avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 8 guests at Hawtah Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a revised passenger count. Our brief for private jet catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sauces to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Small packing details became important at OEHW: our 2 passengers wanted chicken skewers with a couscous salad, and we had a tight boarding window. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the breakfast portions into shallow trays that were easy to handle. I could hand the sauces to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. Our brief for private jet catering services was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation.”
Costs here follow your choices: premium dates and nuts, a full hot course, or a simple cold board. How much does private jet catering cost at Hawtah for an early flight? Send the guest count and any dietary needs, and we return an itemised figure, invoiced separately from any charter.
Lead time for Hawtah comes down to galley size and menu complexity. A cold board for four is simple; a hot dinner for twelve needs planning. Last-minute requests are handled, and we tell you openly if a dish should be swapped for something that holds.
Customs in Saudi Arabia look closely at imported food, so a quick turnaround at OEHW works best with locally prepared, sealed dishes. We pack and label for the slot, and your handling agent confirms what may remain aboard after landing.
Delegations often have strict preferences, and some arrive with their own supplies. Whether you can bring food into Hawtah depends on customs and on your handling agent. We can match or replace it with a menu cleared by your protocol office.
When an aircraft comes to OEHW empty, nobody expects a menu on arrival, but the next leg may need one. Is catering part of a charter? No: it is ordered and invoiced separately from a private jet charter, and we confirm what you need.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
