Jet catering Gemena — kitchen discipline
Private jet catering for Gemena Airport is prepared in a dedicated facility equipped with walk-in cold rooms, separate pastry and garde-manger stations, and blast chillers that lock temperature within minutes of plating. Production schedules align with your departure slot: hot dishes finish cooking two hours before wheels-up, cold assemblies are sealed and staged thirty minutes later, and everything moves into insulated carriers under continuous monitoring. Allergen protocols run through every station — separate boards, dedicated utensils, double-check labels before the seal goes on. Whether you've ordered a four-course service for eight or a working lunch for crew, each tray is logged, each carrier is tagged, and nothing leaves until the cold chain reads green.

Private jet catering at Gemena Airport — questions
Gemena Airport operates with limited fixed-base infrastructure; most handling is arranged through local ground agents rather than dedicated FBOs. We coordinate inflight catering at FZFK directly with your handling provider and deliver airside to the apron or designated staging area confirmed in your flight plan.
Lead time depends on the chef's production schedule and road transfer from Bangui. Same-day service is possible for early-morning departures if the order reaches us the evening before; tighter windows require confirmation case by case, based on kitchen capacity and available crew.
Yes. We prepare gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan, kosher-style, and halal-compliant meals using dedicated equipment and separate prep zones. Every dish is labelled with its allergen profile, and your cabin crew receives a written breakdown at handover.
High-loader capability depends on ground-handling equipment available at the time of your arrival. Where confirmed, we coordinate aviation catering at FZFK with the handler to position your order at door height for large-cabin aircraft; otherwise, crew-assisted loading through the main door is standard.
Send your departure time, passenger count, catering preferences, and any dietary restrictions to our operations desk by email or phone. We'll confirm menu options, coordinate with your handler for airside access, and provide a delivery window tied to your slot. Orders received before the evening cutoff typically meet the next morning's departures.
