What Kind of Meals Are Served Aboard Private Jets?
Catering is part of the experience of flying private, in addition to aesthetically pleasing cabin design and comfortable seating configured to suit the needs of your chartered flight.
Heavy jets that fly transcontinental or international flights are sometimes staffed with private chefs, however the majority of meals served on private jets are prepared by catering companies that specialize in private flight catering or local fine restaurants. Flight attendants serve the meals from a full galley on larger aircraft, while some small jets that serve shorter private charter routes serve lighter fare that do not require a flight attendant.

Meals served aboard a private jet are limited only by the imagination of the charter client. Serving cuisine aboard a private jet comes with a unique set of challenges and chartered flight caterers are familiar with the sometimes extravagant and eclectic palettes of private jet clients.
The availability of specialty foods includes regional specialties, such as Maine lobster, Alaska salmon, seasonal dishes and specific requests by customers for their favorite meals from popular local restaurants. Also increasingly popular are “Health and Wellness” menus that offer a variety of vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options.

Chartered flight caterers who specialize in preparing food for private jets must adequately package the meals for transit with instructions for plating the meal by flight attendants. Caterers must also package the meals to meet the specific needs of the flight, including flight duration and galley configuration. Hot entrées are served in packaging ready to be heated, plated in specialized microwave packaging or ready-to-serve containers. Cold menu selections are delivered in individually-packaged gourmet boxes or arranged artfully on platters.
How much does catering cost on a private jet chartered flight? For a private charter, you can expect to spend slightly more for meals due to the expenses associated with preparing, packaging and delivering the meals. Bon appétit!
