Which handlers at BEN can you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at HLLB — no prior account is needed at any specific ground operation on the field. Confirm your handler in your order request and we coordinate directly with them.

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

Same-day requests at Benina are handled routinely, particularly for the energy-sector and charter traffic that moves through HLLB on short notice. Send your request and we confirm availability within 10 minutes. Lead-time requirements for specific items — kosher meals, for instance — are flagged at confirmation.

How are crew meals handled at Benina?

Crew meals at BEN are packaged and labelled separately from the passenger order and loaded with the main uplift. They are built for the rotation — balanced macros, practical containers, appropriate for back-to-back sectors — and priced for operators rather than at passenger-service rates.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy requirements at BEN?

Halal catering is standard at Benina given the regional context. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available across all menus. Kosher orders are available but require a minimum of 24 hours' lead time — note this in your request at HLLB and we confirm the preparation source.

How do I place an order for a BEN departure?

Submit your request through the Altitude Dining order form or directly to your coordinator — include the departure date, aircraft type, passenger count, dietary requirements, and your handler at HLLB. We confirm within 10 minutes and send a final delivery window once your slot is known.

What does private jet catering at BEN cost?

Pricing at Benina is calculated per order based on menu selection, passenger count, crew meals, and any specialist dietary requirements. There is no rate card — we send a full quote within 10 minutes of your request, with no obligation.

Inflight Catering · Benina

Benina private jet catering

The Benghazi hinterland has a distinct culinary register that rarely travels beyond the region. Bazin — the firm, slow-cooked barley dough that has been the staple of Cyrenaican tables for centuries — anchors meals here in a way that no other North African city quite replicates. We source it prepared to cabin-ready standard, paired with the lamb and tomato sauces drawn from the same inland traditions. Along the coast, the Gulf of Sidra still delivers grouper and sea bass to Benghazi's central fish market before sunrise. That proximity matters on the BEN ramp: produce selected at the market in the early hours can be plated, packaged, and loaded to the aircraft well before a mid-morning departure slot at HLLB.

Regional Catering Menu · Benina

Inflight catering menu for Benina

A well-composed BEN uplift draws on three pillars. Slow-braised Jabal Akhdar lamb — raised on the green plateau visible from the flight path — holds well in galley conditions and reads confidently to any principal familiar with the region. Shorba libiya, the spiced lamb and tomato soup thickened with orzo, travels cleanly in sealed thermal containers and works as a warm first course on longer sectors. For lighter service, fresh dates from the Kufra basin and preserved olive varieties from the Cyrenaican groves give a cold mezze spread that is genuinely of this place rather than a generic Middle Eastern selection.
