Private Jet Catering at Manda Airport (HKLU / LAU), Lamu
Your inflight catering at LAU is prepared fresh in Lamu and delivered airside to Manda Airport, supporting morning departures and multi-sector charter itineraries with temperature-controlled handling and allergen documentation.
Orders are taken and adjusted by Marco Haddad, typically up to six hours before departure when production capacity allows, and on your schedule when the slot changes. He writes each menu against the sector you are flying, the galley equipment you brief, and what the cold chain will tolerate. His kitchen prepares the order in temperature-controlled facilities, packs it for airside delivery, and briefs the driver on the handover time you set. You reach him directly, and he answers the same number from the first enquiry to wheels-up.
Marco Haddad is a Private Jet Chef specializing in elevated Mediterranean cuisine with refined French techniques. His culinary artistry combines classical training with contemporary presentations, creating bespoke menus that reflect sophisticated palates and seamless in-flight dining experiences at altitude.
Long sectors demand menus that hold. Where a six-hour leg constrains what can be plated, dishes are chosen for how they travel: cold plates that stay composed, mains that reheat without drying, second-service items that need no galley work. Lead time is typically forty-eight hours; same-day requests are absorbed where production allows. When you order private jet catering, you state the departure time, the sector length, the galley equipment, and any allergen requirements. The private jet catering quote reflects what you brief, and crew meals travel on the same order.

Jet catering Lamu
Long-haul sectors from LAU demand inflight catering that holds structure and flavour through extended cruise. The kitchen preparing your order builds menus around technique: proteins sealed after plating to lock moisture, sauces portioned separately when reheating risks splitting, and second-service items timed so pastry and garde-manger work arrive with the clarity you need. Cold rooms maintain dedicated zones for seafood, dairy, and high-risk prep; each label carries full allergen documentation and hold-time limits. For business aviation catering across twelve or fourteen hours, we plan crew meals on the same production sheet, coordinate with your departure slot, and keep the cold chain documented from seal to galley handover at Manda Airport.

You state the galley equipment and the sector length when you brief the order; the menu is written to match what the aircraft can carry and what the flight profile allows.

Ramp delivery and handling at Manda Airport
Airside delivery and ramp handover at Manda Airport
If the slot moves, the delivery schedule moves with it. Badged drivers deliver VIP flight catering and charter flight catering orders airside in temperature-controlled vehicles, handing over at your FBO or ramp-side at the aircraft door. High loader capability is confirmed at the time of order for galley doors at height. Cold items stay in the cold chain; hot items travel ready to reheat. The handover is timed to your fuelling and pre-flight checks, typically within the window you set, and adjusted on your schedule when the turn is short.

Private jet catering at Manda Airport — questions
We deliver inflight catering at HKLU directly to your handling agent or FBO on the apron, coordinating airside access in advance. Because the airport has a compact layout, handover typically occurs at the aircraft rather than through a dedicated FBO lounge. Confirm your handler's details when you place the order so we can arrange badging and timing.
Lead time depends on menu complexity, departure slot, and ingredient availability in Lamu. Simple cold platters and breakfast items can often be ready within a few hours if the kitchen has capacity; hot mains and multi-course service require more notice. Contact us with your ETD and passenger count, and we'll confirm what's feasible for that day.
Yes. We track gluten, dairy, shellfish, nuts, and other allergens through prep, labelling each component clearly. Vegetarian, vegan, kosher-style, and halal requests are handled with separate utensils and surfaces. Provide full details when you order so we can source alternatives and document every item your passengers will see.
High-loader capability for aviation catering at HKLU is available where the equipment is present and your handler confirms access. For larger cabins with galley-level doors, we arrange delivery via platform when the schedule allows. If a loader isn't available, we hand-carry insulated containers up the airstairs with your crew, maintaining the cold chain throughout.
Send your departure time, passenger count, dietary notes, and any galley constraints to our coordination desk. We'll propose a private jet catering menu, confirm availability with Marco's kitchen in Lamu, and arrange ramp delivery with your handler. You'll receive a final confirmation with handover time and contents list before your crew boards.
