Which FBOs and handlers at ASW can you deliver to?

Smart Aviation is the handling agent on the field at HESN, and we deliver directly to them for planeside loading. If your operator has a different handling arrangement, confirm it in your request and we will coordinate accordingly — we do not require a pre-existing account with any specific handler.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at ASW?

Yes — same-day requests are routine at Aswan given the airport's charter and diplomatic traffic patterns. Send your request as early as possible to allow for full menu options, but we will work with the time available and confirm what is achievable within 10 minutes of receiving your brief.

How are crew meals handled at Aswan?

Crew meals at ASW are included in the main uplift order and priced separately per head for operator invoicing. We build them for longer outbound legs — balanced, properly packaged, and labelled — rather than treating them as a secondary consideration after the passenger order is complete.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian and allergy requirements?

Halal is standard at Aswan given the local supply base. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menus are available on every order at ASW. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours' lead time and must be noted explicitly at the time of request.

How do I place an order for an ASW departure?

Submit your request through the Altitude Dining order form or by contacting your coordinator directly — departure date, departure time, number of passengers, crew count, and any dietary requirements. You will receive confirmation within 10 minutes. For same-day requests at HESN, include your expected departure window so we can sequence delivery against your slot.

What does catering at ASW cost?

Pricing is per order and depends on menu selection, passenger count, crew meals, and any specialist dietary requirements such as kosher. We do not publish a rate card. Send your brief and we will return a full quote within 10 minutes.

Inflight Catering · Aswan

Private jet catering in Aswan

Upper Egypt's culinary character is older and less travelled than Cairo's. Aswan's markets run on Nubian recipes passed through households rather than restaurants: slow-cooked ful with cumin and dried lime, grilled Nile tilapia dressed with chilli and lemon, date-stuffed pastries from the covered souk near the corniche. These are not tourist reconstructions — they are what people in this city eat. The dates are worth singling out. Aswan produces some of Egypt's finest, harvested from groves along the Nile's eastern bank. Medjool and Siwi varieties reach their peak in autumn, but cured and pressed dates are available year-round and travel exceptionally well in a cabin setting. We source locally, plate to galley-ready standard, and deliver to the aircraft at ASW — from market to tarmac, same day.

Regional Catering Menu · Aswan

Fresh catering for Aswan flights

Nile tilapia — fished from the reservoir south of the dam — is the region's defining protein: clean-flavoured, firm, suited to cold platters or warm preparations with herbs and citrus. Alongside it, Aswan's Nubian kitchen offers slow-braised lamb with dried apricot, mulukhiyah prepared with clarified butter rather than stock, and ta'ameya made with broad beans rather than chickpeas in the Delta style. For the cabin, date boxes, sesame-honey bars and small pastries filled with walnut and rosewater compose naturally as a closing course or a standalone crew snack — no reheating required, no mess.
