Private aircraft catering — chef Lucia Haddad

She sources tilapia direct from fishermen at Gisenyi's lakeshore market, filleting and grilling the morning of your departure so the fish travels cold and reheats cleanly in a galley oven. For flights departing after lunch, she'll pack composed salads built around roasted sweet potato, blanched greens, and a light vinaigrette that doesn't wilt. The twenty-kilometre drive means she can respond to same-day requests if the order reaches her kitchen before mid-morning, and her familiarity with regional produce—cassava, tree tomatoes, Rwandan honey—gives you a menu that reflects the lake district without requiring imported substitutes or fragile garnishes that don't travel.

Background

Diego Costa brings refined culinary expertise to private aviation, transforming high-altitude dining into an exceptional gastronomic experience. Specializing in contemporary international cuisine with Mediterranean influences, he crafts sophisticated menus that elegantly balance innovation with timeless flavors tailored to discerning travelers.

How to order inflight catering for a departure from HRYG

Cold packs hold four degrees through the pre-flight, then you transfer everything to the galley refrigerator before push-back. To order private jet catering for Gisenyi, your operations agent sends the departure slot, passenger count, and any allergen notes in a single message. The lead time is forty-eight hours for a standard order, thirty-six where the market and the production schedule allow. A late change to headcount or timing is absorbed if communicated before the delivery vehicle leaves. Your private jet catering quote is returned within two hours, and the same contact confirms delivery, tracks the driver airside, and briefs your crew on oven settings per aircraft type.

The Gisenyi kitchen

Jet catering Gisenyi — prepared in Goma

A plated bergamot tart travels from cooling rack to sealed container within the hour your departure slot requires. The kitchen preparing your order for GYI works to the same cold-chain protocol across every airport we cover: dedicated cold rooms, separate allergen prep zones, and documented labelling on each tray. Private aviation catering here is timed against your ETA, not a production run. One contact replaces your supplier list; one order covers the fleet, whether you operate a six-seat light jet or require high loader capability for wide-body cabins. Business aviation catering at Gisenyi Airport means same-day capacity where your schedule demands it, pâtisserie and garde-manger posts staffed for bespoke requests, and every seal applied after plating—never before.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Gisenyi Airport

You order breakfast trays that hold from pre-dawn preparation to a mid-morning departure, cold plates built to stay presentable across a four-hour leg, mains that reheat in a galley oven without drying out, and crew meals on the same delivery. Each item is labelled with allergens, portioned to the seat count you provide, and packed in containers sized to the refrigeration and oven capacity of your aircraft type. What can be prepared depends on the season, the length of your flight, and the equipment your galley carries.

Smoked trout with pickled vegetables and herb cream

Served cold, holds four hours in the galley refrigerator, contains fish and dairy.

Braised chicken with root vegetables and thyme jus

Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, contains celery and gluten.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery and ramp handover at Gisenyi Airport

Your aircraft waits at the apron while the badged driver clears airside access and delivers VIP flight catering and charter flight catering in temperature-controlled vehicles. For large cabins, high loader capability is confirmed at the time of order, serving galley doors at height where the apron geometry allows. The handover happens at your FBO or directly at the aircraft door, timed to your fuelling window. The same vehicle carries crew meals, passenger orders, and any late additions you brief after the original manifest closes.

Inflight catering — Rwanda

Inflight menus adapted to what the season gives at GYI

During the dry months, you order from what keeps well and what the market delivers twice weekly. Gisenyi Airport operates with limited on-site infrastructure, so your inflight menu is planned further ahead than at larger fields. The kitchen preparing your order sources greens, tubers, and proteins within the cold chain, then builds each private jet menu to match your galley capability and the length of your leg. What arrives at the aircraft is packed for the cabin conditions you specify, labelled with allergens, and portioned to the passenger count you confirm seventy-two hours before departure.
