Private jet catering at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport (OMAH), Al Shuweihat

Catering to your aircraft in Al Shuweihat.

Al Hamra Auxiliary is a quiet strip on the Abu Dhabi coast where private jets come in for hunting parties, desert stays and discreet arrivals, and the galley is often the only restaurant. We cook, pack and label meals for that galley, with the sauce apart and the seat number on every lid, so you re-plate and serve.

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.

Al Shuweihat on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at OMAH

Abu Dhabi Emirate eats from the Gulf and the desert, and a private jet menu built for OMAH follows that. Local specialities travel well: machboos and grilled hammour keep their shape in a galley oven, while luqaimat and dates are packed as cold finishers. Our private jet platters pair Emirati breads with labneh, hummus and cured olives, plated to be set out whole. Gourmet inflight meals for Al Shuweihat lean on seafood and spiced rice, with sauces in their own pots. Private jet snacks stay simple: roasted nuts, dates stuffed with almond, fruit cut for the tray.

For a flight into Al Shuweihat, the inflight menu starts with the coast. Private jet food from the Abu Dhabi Emirate means grilled fish, saffron rice, lamb with dried lime, each packed for oven finishing with the sauce apart. Private jet platters of mezze, flatbread and fresh vegetables suit a short stop, and gourmet inflight meals can follow Emirati hospitality: dates and cardamom coffee set beside the main. Private jet snacks cover the rest. These local specialities are the starting point; the final menu is built around your galley.

Few airfields are as undisturbed as OMAH, Al Hamra Auxiliary, serving Al Shuweihat on the Gulf shore of the Abu Dhabi Emirate. For crews arriving here, private jet catering means one clear order: what the galley can hold, who eats what, which meals are halal by default. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are cooked and packed by a team of ex flight attendants, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same procedure on request.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport

Business jet catering at Al Hamra Auxiliary is mostly small groups and short stays: a corporate jet catering order for four guests, charter flight catering for a family, VIP flight catering for a hunting party arriving from abroad. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around the cabin and the single oven, and luxury inflight catering stays in reserve for guests who ask for it. Whether it is inflight catering for a long leg or in-flight catering for a short hop, the plates are packed to be re-plated, with the sauce apart.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Al Shuweihat (OMAH)

Government flight catering for OMAH starts with the delegation office: the menu is approved there, and only then does the kitchen cook. Head of state flight catering follows the same line: a named team, a traceable order, no names on labels. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering stay discreet and confidential, with the menu approved by the delegation office.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport (OMAH)

At OMAH, halal is the starting point for most orders, so the work is in the other lists: kosher meals sealed and kept apart, vegan plates built without ghee, gluten free rice dishes made away from bread and flour. Special meals travel in their own box with the seat number on the lid. Allergen free requests go through a written check against the Gulf pantry, where nuts, sesame and shellfish turn up in many local dishes. Kids meals are simple, mild and kept separate from the adult trays.

Crew meals & pilot meals at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport

Flight crew meals and pilot meals are ordered on request and invoiced with the rest; crew catering is boxed and labelled CREW. Cockpit meals avoid sauce spills, crew meal boxes stack in the drawer, and different meals for pilots are easy to arrange. Cabin crew meals can be added.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport (OMAH)

On a field like OMAH, the handling agent is the one who opens the door. FBO catering goes to the general aviation terminal; catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering staff and handed over at the apron. Handling agent catering stays simple: one contact, one order.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport

Al Hamra Auxiliary is a modest field, and the aircraft that use it decide the loading. A light jet takes a trolley carried up the stairs; a larger cabin may call for a high loader at the door. Galley catering is sized to the type, with the oven count and drawer space written into the order. Airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent at the FBO, and aircraft provisioning follows the gate, door height and galley layout of your tail.

About the airportOMAH

About Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Al Hamra Auxiliary is an airport catering stop for visitors to Al Shuweihat and the western Abu Dhabi coast. It sits at 50 feet, handles general aviation and discreet charters, and is used by private jet operators who want a quiet arrival. FBO services and ground handling services are limited and arranged in advance.

Business aviation

OMAH is small, and that shapes what a business aviation hub means here: few movements, long preparation, careful sourcing. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are matched to whichever aircraft arrives; aviation catering for hunting season or winter stays is adapted to heat. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are packed for the galley, with diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals ordered the same way.

Customs & food import

UAE customs inspect imported meat, dairy and fresh produce, and alcohol is tightly controlled. For a flight into Al Hamra Auxiliary, ordering locally avoids declaring food at the border. Halal sourcing is the default, and any special diet should be told to us when the tail and slot are sent.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“For 5 passengers departing from OMAH, the agreed menu was prawn salad and small fruit plates; our main consideration was a tight boarding window. My main takeaway from this in-flight catering services order was the practical approach to storage requirements. We changed the quantities of starters, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

Daria P. | Royal family manager

ACJ320

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Passenger preferences led us to roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport; 9 portions were needed, with different crew meal preferences factored into preparation. The Galley Girls labelled the canapés in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The starters were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. With aviation catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Joao M. | Chief cabin officer

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Between cabin checks at Al Hamra Auxiliary Airport, I coordinated avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 6 guests and explained our concerns about several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls prepared the fruit plates for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The crew provisions stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. For our team, the strongest part of their aviation catering services was how they handled catering handover.”

The Al Hamra Auxiliary questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a night departure or an early morning slot at Al Hamra Auxiliary?+

For an early morning departure at OMAH, breakfast items such as khameer bread, eggs and fruit cost less than a full lamb machboos. The galley on your type also matters, because it decides whether we plate hot or pack cold.

What is the lead time for a delegation or government flight at OMAH?+

Lead time for state or delegation flights at OMAH is set by clearance, not cooking. Once the menu is approved, we cook and pack to the galley. Last-minute orders are handled, and diplomatic requests are kept discreet.

What customs rules affect inflight catering and food import into the United Arab Emirates?+

Food rules in the Abu Dhabi Emirate follow federal UAE customs, which restrict fresh produce, meat and some dairy from abroad. Catering ordered through us is prepared locally and avoids those checks. Tell us about any special diets so we can label them properly.

Can you bring food into Al Hamra Auxiliary, and how does airside access work with the handling agent?+

At Al Hamra Auxiliary, outside food is allowed if sealed, but cold chain and customs checks apply. The handling agent meets the delivery and walks it to the aircraft, which is simpler for a small field like this one.

Is catering part of a charter into Al Shuweihat when someone has a special-meal request such as kosher, halal, allergen or child?+

No, food is not bundled into a private jet charter. A special-meal request into Al Shuweihat goes to us directly, with the seat plan and any restriction, and is invoiced as catering.
