Private Jet Catering Casablanca (GMMN / CMN): Moroccan Menus and Crew Guide
Private jet catering in Casablanca serves Morocco's economic capital, a city of finance, industry, Art Deco boulevards and Atlantic breezes. Business aviation at Casablanca (GMMN / CMN) is largely corporate, with executives, investors and officials flying in for meetings in the financial district, along with Moroccan families returning for the summer and the religious holidays. Every departure is an opportunity to share the generosity of Moroccan hospitality, from mint tea and pastries to a fragrant tagine.
Global Diners prepares VVIP inflight catering in our own kitchens in Paris, Nice and Madrid and in our kitchens across more than 2,500 airports. This guide explains how our team prepares Moroccan and international menus for Casablanca, how to plan around Ramadan and the Eid holidays, what crews need to know for quick turns, and how Casablanca connects with Rabat (GMME / RBA), Tangier (GMTT / TNG) and Marrakech (GMMX / RAK). It complements our Marrakech guide, which focuses on leisure travel in the Red City.
Moroccan menus for business flights
Moroccan cuisine is one of the great cuisines of the world, and many dishes are ideal for the cabin. Our kitchens prepare them with care, packed for reheating with clear guidance for the crew:
Tagines: chicken with preserved lemon and olives, lamb with prunes and almonds, or vegetables with chickpeas.
Pastilla: a delicate pastry filled with chicken or seafood, dusted with cinnamon and sugar.
Couscous: with seven vegetables, a traditional Friday dish, or with lamb and caramelised onions.
Salads: zaalouk with aubergine, taktouka with peppers and tomatoes, and carrot and orange salad.
Breads and breakfast: msemen, harcha and baghrir with honey, amlou and fresh cheese.
Sweets: cornes de gazelle, chebakia, ghriba and fresh dates, served with mint tea.
International dishes sit comfortably beside them: club sandwiches, grilled fish, salads and French pastries, a reminder of Casablanca's cosmopolitan character. Our article on world cuisines on private jets shares more ideas for mixed cabins.
Planning for Ramadan and the Eid holidays
Ramadan changes the rhythm of the city: the working day shortens, and life moves into the evening after the fast is broken. For flights departing near sunset, our team prepares a ftour box with dates, harira soup, chebakia, msemen and milk, and for early departures a suhoor pack with breads, eggs, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha then bring family travel and celebration menus. Our article on Ramadan catering on private jets explains how to time each meal.
Period | What changes | How Global Diners prepares |
Ramadan | Fasting from dawn to sunset, evening life | Ftour boxes at sunset and suhoor packs before dawn |
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha | Family travel and celebrations | Festive platters, pastries and generous family menus |
July and August | Moroccans living abroad return home | Order a few days ahead, with sealed boxes for warm days |
Rest of the year | Corporate and government flights | Working menus, Moroccan classics and international dishes |
Quick turns and crew meals
Many Casablanca flights are short business trips with tight agendas, so the menu needs to be ready the moment passengers board. Our team prepares individual trays, sealed and labelled, together with crew meals packed separately. Light, satisfying choices work best for crews: grilled chicken with rice, lentil salads, wraps and fresh fruit. Our article on crew meals for long-haul flights explains how to keep crews alert on longer sectors.
A glass of mint tea, a plate of cornes de gazelle and a warm tagine: Moroccan hospitality travels beautifully.
Mint tea service on board
Mint tea is the heart of Moroccan hospitality, and serving it in the cabin is a lovely gesture for passengers. Our kitchens can provide gunpowder green tea, fresh mint and sugar, with a selection of pastries and dates. The crew prepares the tea in a teapot and pours it from a height to create a light foam, as is the custom. Our guide to tea on private jets offers further ideas.
Across Morocco: Rabat, Tangier and Marrakech
Casablanca is often one stop on a wider Moroccan itinerary. Rabat, the capital, is less than an hour away by road, Tangier faces Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, and Marrakech welcomes leisure travellers to its riads and palm groves. Our team prepares each leg with one written confirmation and adapts the menu to each city: seafood from the Atlantic coast, Andalusian-influenced dishes in the north and the slow-cooked tanjia of Marrakech. Our Marrakech guide and our guide to pre-trip planning help with multi-stop journeys.

Major Casablanca Events and Your Aircraft Catering at Casablanca (GMMN / CMN)
Casablanca is Morocco's economic capital and its main long-haul hub, so private aviation here is largely corporate, with extra peaks from Moroccan families living abroad in summer and from religious holidays. Ramadan, the two Eids, Throne Day and the July and August diaspora season bring the busiest weeks, while cultural and sporting events add shorter surges. During these periods, order earlier than the standard 24 hours, confirm passenger numbers early and agree a delivery slot with your handler, as the airport lies some distance south of the city. Travel-ready Moroccan dishes and individually packed meals suit business turnarounds.
Event | When | Where |
Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr | Varies with the Islamic calendar | Across Morocco |
Eid al-Adha | Varies with the Islamic calendar | Across Morocco |
Summer diaspora season | July to August | Casablanca and across Morocco |
Jazzablanca | June or July (varies) | Casablanca |
Casablanca International Marathon | October | Casablanca city centre and the Corniche |
Throne Day | July | Across Morocco |
Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr at Casablanca (GMMN / CMN): Varies with the Islamic calendar
During Ramadan, Casablanca's working day shortens and the city's life moves to the evening. Flights departing near sunset often need a ftour box with dates, harira soup, chebakia, msemen and milk, while early departures may require a Suhoor pack. Eid al-Fitr then brings a wave of family travel. Allow a little extra lead time and give the exact departure time so preparation can be timed to the fast.
Moroccan holiday and event dates vary every year, so confirm the timing with our team when you place an order.
Culture and heritage near Casablanca (GMMN / CMN)
Casablanca is a showcase of 20th-century architecture, with Art Deco and neo-Moorish buildings throughout the city centre, especially around Boulevard Mohammed V and the Place Mohammed V. The Habous quarter, built in the 1930s, combines traditional design with modern planning. The Museum of Moroccan Judaism and the Villa des Arts present the city's heritage and contemporary art, while the old medina retains its ramparts and narrow lanes.

Also nearby: Tangier (GMTT / TNG)
Tangier Ibn Battouta serves the northern Moroccan city overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, within sight of Spain. Business aviation flights bring executives linked to the Tanger Med port and the region's automotive and industrial zones, along with owners of seafront villas and guests at the city's hotels. Visitors explore the Kasbah, Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules, and travel on to Asilah, Tetouan and the blue town of Chefchaouen. Summer is the busiest leisure season, while the region's industrial growth keeps business flights steady all year.
Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, and Cap Spartel, west of the city, marks the meeting point with a lighthouse and sweeping views. The nearby Caves of Hercules open onto the ocean. The medina and kasbah offer winding lanes, terraces and views across the Strait to Spain. Beaches stretch along the Atlantic coast towards Asilah, a whitewashed town known for its murals. Day trips reach Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains and Tetouan's Andalusian medina. Golfers can play at the Royal Country Club of Tangier, and horse riding along the Atlantic sands is a relaxed way to spend a morning.
