Chef Sena Haddad: private jet catering for ASA departures

When the turn is short and the galley barely cools between legs, Sena Haddad builds the service around cold formats that hold and hot items sealed for a fast reheat cycle. Portions are sized to what the cabin can store, and every plate is labelled so your crew knows what it contains before it reaches the passenger. Sena answers your order directly, adjusts for late slot changes where the production window allows, and ensures that what leaves the kitchen matches the brief you sent—down to the allergen list and the delivery time at ASA.

Jet catering Assab: production and cold chain

When the harvest calendar shifts, the kitchen preparing your inflight catering at ASA adjusts what arrives on the plate. Seasonal produce guides the weekly menu rather than working against it—cooler months bring hearty greens and root vegetables, warmer weeks lighter fare and stone fruit. The garde-manger and pâtisserie posts time their work to your departure slot, plating same-day whenever your schedule allows. Cold rooms hold proteins and prepared components under documented temperature control; every tray is sealed after assembly, and allergen labels follow the protocol you expect. Private aviation catering for Assab International Airport runs tighter during peak travel weeks—lead times stretch slightly when demand climbs, so early order placement keeps your provisioning predictable. The facility works with what the market gives this month, building each menu around availability rather than static lists.

Badged drivers deliver airside to your FBO or ramp-side at the aircraft door, at the time you set.
