How much notice do you need for a full catering order at AAY?

We recommend a minimum of 24 hours for standard orders to allow for sourcing and preparation. Kosher meals require a full 24-hour lead time as a firm minimum. For complex or large-volume orders, 48 hours gives us the best margin to deliver at our standard.

Which handling agent do you deliver to at Al Ghaydah?

We are handler-agnostic at OYGD and deliver to whichever handling company is managing your aircraft. Confirm your handler when you place the order and we coordinate directly from there.

Can you source fresh local produce for flights departing Al Ghaydah?

Yes. We work with local suppliers in Al Mahra Governorate for fresh-caught fish and regional ingredients where schedules allow. Availability depends on the day's catch and lead time, which your contact will confirm at the time of ordering.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged and labelled separately from the passenger cabin order, clearly identified by course and intended recipient. We treat crew nutrition as a operational priority, not an afterthought.

Can you arrange catering for onward legs to Mukalla or Seiyun from AAY?

Yes. As part of our worldwide network, we can co-ordinate inflight catering for onward sectors — including airports near Al Ghaydah such as Mukalla (RIY) and Seiyun (GXF) — under the same order and the same point of contact.

How is the catering packaged for delivery at Al Ghaydah?

All items are delivered galley-ready in temperature-appropriate containers, labelled by course and service order. Nothing requires crew to repackage or sort on board — it is designed to go straight into the galley.

The chef's menu at AAY

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Al Ghaydah departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenYemen

Mahri Grilled Kingfish

Line-caught kingfish from the Al Mahra coast, marinated in turmeric, coriander and dried lime, grilled to order and served with safi rice and a herb-dressed salad.

Hot main

A composed selection of hummus, mutabbal, labneh with Mahra honey, marinated olives, and warm khubz — clean, balanced, and suited to any cabin temperature.

Inflight Catering · Al Ghaydah

Al Ghaydah private jet catering

Al Ghaydah is the principal gateway to Al Mahra Governorate, one of Arabia's least-trafficked corners, bordered by Oman to the east and the Arabian Sea to the south. The town retains a distinctly unhurried character, and the surrounding landscape — arid plateau meeting a long coastline — shapes both the local diet and the logistical realities of supplying it well. Fish landed along the Mahri coast is among the freshest in the Arabian Peninsula: kingfish, hammour, and tuna caught close to shore and sold the same morning. Dried fish and honey from the Mahra highlands are staples of the local table, and sorghum flatbreads remain the daily bread of the region. These are not decorative flourishes — they are the ingredients we draw on when building a menu that reflects where your flight originates.

Regional Catering Menu · Al Ghaydah

Inflight catering menu for Al Ghaydah

Mahra cooking is quieter in spice than the food of Yemen's highlands, leaning instead on the quality of its fish and the depth of slow-cooked broths. A well-made saltah — the national stew, finished with fenugreek froth — travels far beyond its origins, and we prepare it properly, with the same attention we give to any European kitchen classic. Alongside it, safi rice cooked with dried fish and ghee offers passengers something genuinely of this place rather than a generic approximation of Middle Eastern cuisine. For passengers preferring a more international board, our chefs compose cold mezze, Arabic-spiced roasted meats, and fresh fruit arrangements suited to the climate and cabin environment. Kosher meals are available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice. Every order is packed galley-ready, labelled by course and temperature zone, so crew can serve without rearranging.
