Chef Mikkel Fontaine — private aircraft catering at Brussels Airport

Brussels Airport operates under slot coordination—delays compound fast. Chef Mikkel Fontaine times production to absorb a moving departure without reheating twice. He answers directly when you brief the PAX count and galley limits, writes the menu to what the market offers that week, and ensures the delivery reaches your handling agent within the window you set. Allergen labelling is literal, not interpreted. If a delegation menu requires confidence over complexity, he builds it that way.

Cooked for your slot, packed for your galley.

Background

Chef Mikkel Fontaine, Private Jet Menu Specialist, crafts wellness-led aviation cuisine designed for optimal long-haul cabin stability. His balanced approach features nourishing proteins, vibrant salads, and meticulously tailored dietary menus, with signature creations including his acclaimed truffle vegetable tart and buckwheat breakfast bowl.

How to order flight catering for BRU departures

If the slot moves, the delivery moves with it. Production is timed against the departure list, and the lead time you should allow is typically twenty-four hours for a full order, less for standard configurations. A late menu change is absorbed where the ingredient is already prepped. To order private jet catering for a BRU departure, you send the PAX count, galley type, and any allergen flags; you receive a private jet catering quote within two hours. The crew no longer checks allergen labels by hand—every item is marked. Delivery runs are synchronised with your handling agent's schedule.

Jet catering Zaventem — kitchen to cabin

Forty minutes before wheels-up, you no longer need to chase suppliers or re-plate in the galley. The kitchen preparing your business aviation catering for BRU handles allergen documentation, galley-fit plating, and cold-chain integrity before the van leaves the dock. Each order is cooked to your departure slot, sealed after plating in temperature-controlled facilities, and labelled with full allergen protocol—no guesswork on board. Pâtisserie, garde-manger, and hot posts work the same day you fly, so your crew boards knowing the count, the diet sheet, and the configuration match what was briefed. Private jet catering at Brussels Airport is timed against your slot, documented at every handover, and delivered airside with the seals you expect.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Brussels Airport

You can order breakfast trays, cold plates that hold across a six-hour leg, hot mains that reheat in a standard galley oven, and crew meals on the same order. Portioning is per seat. Every item carries literal allergen labelling—dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts—so your cabin crew reads it at a glance. Cold service is packed to travel; hot service is packed to reheat without loss of texture. You brief the galley fit and refrigeration limits for your aircraft type, and the kitchen portions accordingly.

Poached salmon with dill and cucumber

Served cold, holds four hours under refrigeration, contains fish and may contain traces of shellfish.

Braised beef with glazed carrots and thyme jus

Reheats in a convection oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, contains celery, no other declared allergens.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery at Brussels Airport

You do not chase the catering van across the apron. Badged drivers deliver directly to your FBO or ramp-side at the aircraft door, within the window you set. Temperature-controlled vehicles maintain the cold chain from kitchen to galley. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering both run on the same airside schedule, timed to your fuelling and pre-flight checks. For wide-body cabins, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available, serving galley doors at height. The handover is signed for, and your crew moves to boarding.

Inflight catering — Belgium

Government flight catering at BRU

BRU handles government and head-of-state movements with protocol in mind. The manifest stays confidential, delegation volumes are confirmed at order, and the handover is discrete. Your private jet menu adapts to delegation size and dietary requirements without naming passengers. Security of the transfer is maintained throughout. What appears on the inflight menu reflects what the season permits: asparagus and early greens in spring, stone fruit and soft herbs through summer, root vegetables and game as autumn turns. Cold preparations hold across long legs; hot mains reheat in the galley without loss.

Local calendar

Peak weeks at Brussels Airport — King's Day, tulip season, Chantilly

Late April brings King's Day and the height of tulip season, filling the apron with charter flights bound for Amsterdam and Keukenhof—PPR slots tighten, ground handling queues lengthen, and catering delivery windows compress. By mid-June, the Prix de Diane at Chantilly pulls executive aircraft from across Europe, often with same-day turnarounds and galley restocking between legs. During these weeks, order lead times need to move forward by a day, high-loader availability becomes harder to confirm, and flight attendants should specify any service-time constraints when briefing the order. We schedule additional production capacity in Zaventem and run staggered delivery runs to keep pace with the departure flow, but the platform itself sets the tempo—your catering arrives on time only if the slot, the handling agent, and the airside access all align.

King's Day

late AprilNearby · AmsterdamBusier than usual
On the field

You may encounter increased handling delays and tighter slot availability during the King's Day period, as Brussels Airport experiences higher general aviation traffic from Netherlands-bound flights. Confirm PPR and apron positioning well in advance with your handler.

What we do about it

Street festivities leave no formal dining window, so private jet catering for King's Day in Amsterdam shifts to sealed formats that hold quality through schedule changes. Box meals and plated arrangements work better than buffet setups when departure slots move; charter flight catering orders cluster around late April, often placed earlier than usual to secure capacity.

Tulip season

April to early MayNearby · AmsterdamBusier than usual
On the field

You should expect increased business aviation traffic during tulip season as Brussels Airport sees a notable uptick in positioning flights and day-trip operations. Prior permission required slots tighten, and FBO apron space can reach near capacity during peak morning departures.

What we do about it

Leisure groups flying in for the tulip fields often order private jet catering for eight to twelve passengers per aircraft, with multiple departures clustering in the late-morning window. We produce business aviation catering runs in sequence rather than parallel—your crew meals and VIP flight catering move to ramp when your slot confirms, not before.

Prix de Diane, Chantilly

mid-JuneNearby · ChantillyBusier than usual
On the field

You may encounter increased traffic from positioning flights to nearby Paris-Le Bourget during the Prix de Diane week, though Brussels Airport itself typically maintains standard general aviation capacity and PPR processing times throughout the period.

What we do about it

Chilled champagne and lunch boxes board before the meeting, then multi-course requests for return legs once hospitality guests join owners—private jet catering volumes rise but cabin count stays moderate. Dietary coverage broadens: we typically coordinate three to five requirements per aircraft, and charter flight catering lead times tighten to same-day during mid-June.

Periods shift year to year — confirm the date with us when you order.
