Private aircraft catering: your chef

When a slot opens, Santiago prepares meals that travel well across both the transfer leg and your onward sector—cold platters sealed in insulated trays, hot mains that reheat cleanly, and portioned fruit that won't bruise in transit. Aviation catering at ASI requires advance coordination with island authorities, but once clearance is confirmed, every dish is packed to withstand extended hold times and variable galley conditions typical of long South Atlantic crossings.

Background

Santiago Costa brings over 15 years of refined culinary expertise to private aviation, masterfully blending classical French techniques with contemporary Mediterranean influences. His passion for creating elevated dining experiences at altitude has made him a sought-after chef among discerning travelers.

How the sector runs at FHAW

Twelve hours is the lead time that absorbs most requests without pressure; shorter windows are handled as the production schedule allows. You order private jet catering by sending the departure slot, passenger count, and any allergen or diet constraints. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours, typically sooner. Same-day changes are taken until the delivery run is committed, and late amendments are absorbed where the kitchen has margin. Crews receive oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type at handover, and reheating instructions travel with every hot dish.

Jet catering Cat Hill

Your private jet catering for RAF Ascension Island is produced in Monrovia, where our kitchen maintains dedicated cold rooms, a pastry station, and garde-manger posts for same-day assembly. Timing is locked to your departure slot: proteins are seared or poached within hours of service, salads are dressed separately, and hot items are packed in sealed dual-compartment trays that retain heat or chill depending on galley capacity. Every tray is labelled with contents, allergens, and reheating instructions. Cold storage runs continuously, and final plating happens in the hours before your crew briefing. Each order is sealed, logged, and staged for immediate handover, so galley space and hold temperature remain within operational limits throughout the flight.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at RAF Ascension Island

You may order breakfast trays, cold plates that hold across a six-hour leg, mains that reheat in a standard galley oven, and crew meals on the same order. Every item carries literal allergen labelling, and portioning is set per seat count. Hot dishes travel with reheating instructions and internal target temperatures. Cold assemblies are packed to hold under refrigeration, and desserts are chosen for stability at cabin pressure.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery at RAF Ascension Island

Jet catering at FHAW is delivered airside by badged drivers in temperature-controlled vehicles, once PPR clearance and slot coordination are confirmed with the station. Access is restricted and tightly scheduled; our team liaises with island operations to synchronise delivery with fuel upload and pre-flight checks. Catering is handed to the handling agent or, where permitted, placed planeside in insulated containers that maintain cold chain integrity until galley loading. For larger cabin configurations, high-loader service is available where confirmed at the time of order and supported by ground equipment on station. Every handover is logged, and crew receive a manifest detailing contents, storage requirements, and reheating protocols, so galley management remains straightforward even on extended sectors with limited cabin refrigeration.

Inflight catering — Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha

Inflight menu planning for departures from ASI

When your departure falls outside the main resupply window, the private jet menu adapts to what holds and what travels. Cold plates are built for endurance, hot mains selected for galley reheating, and crew meals portioned to match the roster you send. The inflight menu shifts as supply changes, and the kitchen preparing your order confirms what is available against your slot, not against a printed card. Early departures take breakfast assemblies that need no oven. Long-haul legs take protein that holds under refrigeration and starches that reheat without drying.
