Which FBOs at Zayed International Airport (AUH/OMAA) do you deliver to?

We deliver inflight catering at OMAA to all FBO facilities serving private aviation, including the general aviation terminal and dedicated handling zones. Delivery location is confirmed when you place your order, based on your handling agent and aircraft parking assignment.

What is the shortest notice you can typically accept at Zayed International Airport?

Same-day private jet catering at Zayed International Airport is possible for straightforward menus—cold platters, breakfast boards, simple hot dishes—when briefed before the morning production cut-off and when apron access is pre-cleared. Complex requests, dietary accommodations and high guest counts require longer lead times.

Can you accommodate specific dietary and allergen requirements?

Yes. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher-style and low-FODMAP menus are prepared with dedicated utensils and labelled by allergen. You provide the dietary brief when ordering; we confirm feasibility, propose substitutions if needed and include allergen cards with every tray.

Do you offer high-loader service at Zayed International Airport?

High-loader service for aviation catering at OMAA is arranged where apron layout, handling agent procedures and equipment availability allow. We confirm capability when your order is placed and coordinate with the FBO to ensure safe, timely loading for large-cabin and wide-body aircraft.

How do I place an order for a flight departing Zayed International Airport (AUH/OMAA)?

Contact our operations team with your departure date, slot time, passenger count, dietary requirements and preferred menu style. We'll confirm availability, provide a quote, coordinate FBO delivery and send a final brief covering galley instructions and allergen documentation before your flight.

The cabin you specify shapes how Chef Arjun Aydın writes the menu and portions the order. Adjustments are typically absorbed a few hours before departure, on your schedule, so that a passenger count change or a dietary request reaches the kitchen in time. Chef Arjun Aydın answers directly, confirms the delivery window against your slot, and briefs the driver on ramp-side handover so that what leaves the kitchen matches what the galley can hold and what the sector demands.

Background

Chef Arjun Aydın brings Middle Eastern luxury to the skies as Executive Private Jet Chef, crafting fragrant grain compositions and charcoal-inspired proteins designed for long-haul cabin conditions. His signature truffle vegetable tart showcases refined technique through elegant sharing plates that honor both tradition and altitude dining.

How to order flight catering for long sectors from AUH

A beef fillet, sealed and portioned, holds its quality over a twelve-hour sector if the galley stays cold and the reheat window is planned for the second service. At AUH, production is timed against the morning and evening departure peaks, with lead time typically a day for a full private jet menu and shorter for simpler orders. Crews are briefed on oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type, so that what leaves the kitchen arrives as intended. You order private jet catering through one message; a private jet catering quote follows within hours.

The Abu Dhabi production kitchen — private jet catering near Zayed International Airport

The Abu Dhabi kitchen

Jet catering Abu Dhabi — the kitchen

Crew scheduling a twelve-hour sector through AUH expect private aviation catering that holds its structure, flavour, and safety margin across the full flight envelope. The kitchen preparing your order for Zayed International Airport works to that standard: dishes sealed immediately after plating, cold-chain documentation on every tray, and a service sequence built around two distinct meal windows when the flight plan calls for it. Proteins are chosen and cooked to survive reheating without drying out; salads travel in separate, sealed containers; desserts set firm enough to plate cleanly at altitude. Your crew meals move through the same cold rooms and carry the same allergen labels. Business aviation catering for long sectors relies on timing as much as technique—production is scheduled against your departure slot, and each dish is tested for its behaviour after hours in a galley cart. If your routing includes a fuel stop, the order can be split accordingly. Inflight catering at AUH is prepared in temperature-controlled facilities with dedicated pâtisserie and garde-manger posts, and every label carries batch traceability.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Zayed International Airport

For a departure from AUH, you may order breakfast trays, cold plates that hold across a long leg, mains that reheat in the galley oven, and crew meals on the same order. Each item is portioned per seat, labelled with literal allergen information, and packed in containers suited to the galley you specify. The menu is written to your brief, not drawn from a card, so that dietary requirements and service timing are reflected in what boards.

Served cold, holds four hours in refrigeration, contains fish, soy and sesame.

Braised lamb shoulder with saffron rice and roasted vegetables

Inflight catering — United Arab Emirates

Inflight catering Abu Dhabi — local sourcing

Chef Arjun Aydın works with suppliers around Abu Dhabi to secure herbs, seasonal vegetables, small-batch bakery products and Gulf seafood according to confirmed availability and traceability standards. Local sourcing shortens the cold chain, delivers flavour at peak ripeness and reflects the culinary identity of the Emirates—dates from Al Ain, fresh flatbreads, aromatic spices and citrus that appear in marinades, dressings and garnishes. When a requested ingredient is unavailable or falls short on quality, substitutions are proposed and approved before production begins. This disciplined approach supports private aircraft catering without compromise: menus remain recognisably Middle Eastern, ingredients perform reliably at altitude and every order aligns with your dietary brief and the departure schedule at Zayed International Airport.

Event-driven demand at Zayed International Airport

Late November through early December brings the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, saturating the apron with corporate charters and driving PPR timelines forward. November in odd years adds the Dubai Airshow, with demonstration aircraft, trade delegations and elevated security checks that tighten apron access and extend coordination lead times. March sees the Dubai World Cup, increasing leisure and VIP charter volume over race week. During these periods, you'll need to brief your private jet catering order earlier—typically seventy-two hours ahead—to secure production slots, confirm high-loader availability where required and ensure delivery aligns with tighter handling schedules and congested ramp operations.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

late November to DecemberIn townHeavy demand

On the field

During the Grand Prix, expect significantly tightened slot coordination and apron congestion at Zayed International Airport, with most handling agents requiring advance PPR and extended positioning times due to elevated business aviation traffic throughout the race week.

What we do about it

Race weekend pushes departures late; when your slot moves two hours, private jet catering holds without compromise. Cold chains stay intact, hot elements travel in thermally stable carriers, and we stage reloads at the FBO if the delay extends. VIP flight catering for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix accounts for hold time from the first build.

Dubai Airshow

November, odd yearsNearby · DubaiHeavy demand

On the field

During Dubai Airshow weeks, expect significantly increased traffic at Zayed International Airport with tighter slot coordination, extended ground handling lead times, and reduced apron availability requiring advance PPR confirmation for all movements.

What we do about it

Individual boxes and sealed plateaux hold a ramp slot better than plated service when November departures stack tight. Business aviation catering during Dubai Airshow runs to volume: we batch VIP flight catering by departure window, not by tail, so your crew collects once and boards fast even when the apron is full.

Dubai World Cup (racing)

MarchNearby · DubaiBusier than usual

On the field

During Dubai World Cup week, you should expect significantly increased business aviation traffic at Zayed International Airport, with tighter slot availability, extended ground handling times, and potentially limited apron space requiring advance coordination with your FBO.

What we do about it

March bookings for business aviation catering close earlier than usual—premium galleries and specific dietary builds lock forty-eight hours before departure. Charter flight catering orders placed inside that window default to express menus. Crew meals and simpler VIP flight catering profiles remain available same-day through Dubai.
