Private jet catering by Chef Viktor Haddad at FBM

Lubumbashi International operates under customs and security protocols that vary by flight category—Viktor Haddad schedules production and delivery to meet them. He confirms lead time at the point you order, works the menu around what your galley can hold, and answers directly when the slot moves or the passenger count changes. His kitchen packs to your departure window, labels every allergen literally, and briefs your crew on reheating and hold time before the aircraft doors close.

Background

Viktor Haddad brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation, blending classical French techniques with contemporary Mediterranean influences. His passion for elevated in-flight dining transforms each journey into an exceptional gastronomic experience, crafted with precision and elegance at altitude.

How the sector runs at FBM

When the turn is short, the kitchen schedules production against your departure slot, not against office hours. You order private jet catering with a lead time of twenty-four hours for a full build; shorter notice is absorbed where the menu allows it. The private jet catering quote reflects your passenger count, your galley fit, and your sector length. If the ETD shifts, delivery timing adjusts without reconfirmation. Crews brief oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type, and allergen labelling is literal on every item so cabin crew no longer cross-check by hand.

Jet catering Lubumbashi – kitchen proximity to FBM

Hours before your departure slot, the kitchen preparing your inflight catering for FBM starts timing prep against your ETA—no more chasing suppliers or re-plating on the ramp. Each order is cooked to slot, plated in a dedicated facility with cold rooms and documented allergen protocols on every label, then sealed and held under cold-chain control. Your galley fit is mapped in advance; garde-manger and pâtisserie posts handle same-day capacity without guesswork. Business aviation catering at Lubumbashi International Airport means your crew boards knowing the load is correct, the temperatures logged, and the menu already checked—so you can focus on service, not sourcing.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Lubumbashi International Airport

For a departure from Lubumbashi, you may order breakfast trays, cold plates that hold across sectors of six hours or longer, hot mains portioned for galley reheating, and crew meals on the same manifest.

Reheats in twenty minutes at 160°C, holds texture, contains no dairy, plated individually per seat.

Smoked trout with cucumber, dill, and grain mustard dressing

Airside delivery

Aviation catering delivery at Lubumbashi International

You no longer wait for confirmation of airside access. Badged drivers deliver VIP flight catering and charter flight catering in temperature-controlled vehicles, meeting your FBO or your handling agent ramp-side at the time you nominate. For wide-body and long-range cabins, high loader capability is confirmed at the time of order, serving galley doors at height where the apron layout allows. The handover is logged, and your crew receives the load sheet before departure. Cold-chain integrity is maintained from packing to aircraft door, and the same contact answers if the slot moves.

Government flight catering at FBM

FBM handles government and head-of-state flights where discretion governs every detail. Manifests remain confidential, delegation volumes are confirmed late, and the handover is coordinated with security protocols you set. The inflight menu adapts to what the season provides: produce is selected fresh each week, and the private jet menu reflects that cycle. When supply shortens, the kitchen preparing your order proposes alternatives rather than substituting without notice. Cold plates hold across long legs; hot mains reheat cleanly in galley ovens fitted to your aircraft type.
