Four hours before your departure slot, Chef Nikhil Okafor reviews the final count and starts the hot prep. He coordinates the delivery window with your FBO, ensures the cold chain is unbroken, and confirms that the driver has your aircraft registration and the handling agent's direct number. The handover is timed to your fuelling schedule, and the packing is labelled so your crew knows what reheats and what serves cold. One kitchen, one contact, accountable from order to door.
Chef Nikhil Okafor brings refined Japanese culinary principles to luxury inflight dining, specializing in elegant compositions for long-range family journeys.
