Chiara Costa: executive catering at CAG

Given the distance and the island's PPR requirements during peak leisure months, orders for Cagliari Elmas Airport are confirmed forty-eight hours ahead to allow for shipping under controlled temperature and customs clearance where necessary. When Sardinian bottarga is available, Chef Costa incorporates it into cold plates—thinly sliced over chilled pasta or paired with citrus segments—that hold texture through multi-leg European sectors. For late-afternoon departures to the Middle East or North Africa, her team prepares insulated packs with reheating notes tailored to galley capacity, ensuring hot mains arrive cabin-ready. The workflow accounts for summer apron congestion and handler schedules specific to CAG, so your catering reaches the aircraft within the slot you've reserved.

Background

Costa translates the direct, ingredient-led cooking of the island into a cabin service built on restraint and precision. Preparations respect the pace of wood-fired ovens and slow braises, yet arrive structured for reheating protocols and plated service at altitude. The chef balances the robustness of pastoral and coastal flavours with the composed presentation expected in private aviation.

How to order private jet catering for departures from CAG

Every item leaving the kitchen carries a printed label naming its allergens in plain language—dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts—so the crew can answer a passenger query without opening a container. Special diets travel on the same order: vegan, coeliac, low-sodium preparations are portioned, labelled, and packed alongside the main service. Lead time is typically twenty-four hours for a full cabin menu; shorter notice is accommodated where the schedule allows. When you order private jet catering, the private jet catering quote reflects your passenger count, dietary requests, and ETD, and includes delivery airside at Cagliari Elmas Airport.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery at Cagliari Elmas Airport

Jet catering at LIEE is transferred airside by badged drivers in temperature-controlled vehicles, following coordination with your handling agent and FBO. Cagliari Elmas Airport's apron layout allows direct planeside handover for most business aircraft; larger cabin types and high-loader service are confirmed at the time of order, subject to equipment availability and parking stand. Each delivery is sealed, labelled, and accompanied by a manifest detailing contents, allergen information, and any time-sensitive reheating instructions. During summer peaks—when the apron handles increased leisure and charter traffic—handover windows are tightened, and drivers coordinate with ground ops to avoid slot conflicts. Cold-chain integrity is maintained from kitchen dispatch through galley stowage, with insulated packs and gel units sized to your aircraft's refrigeration capacity. The process is designed to integrate with pre-flight checks, fuelling, and crew briefings, so catering doesn't delay pushback.

Seasonal produce sourced near Cagliari
Inflight catering — Italy

Flight catering menu planning for CAG departures

Sealed at service temperature, your order is built for what a galley reheat permits and what cabin air does to flavour. Pressurisation mutes salt and aroma, drying the palate and blunting seasoning that tasted correct on the ground. Sauces emulsified with care split under uneven oven heat; pastry that left crisp arrives leathery if humidity is not controlled in the pack. The private jet menu reflects these limits: braised proteins that hold moisture, reductions thickened to cling after reheating, inflight menu items portioned so a single galley cycle brings every plate to temperature together.

Local calendar

Summer season and regatta weeks at Cagliari

From mid-July through August, the Costa Smeralda summer season drives elevated private jet traffic through Cagliari Elmas Airport, saturating apron slots and tightening PPR windows. In September, the Porto Cervo regattas add a second wave of executive and leisure departures, with increased demand for same-day catering and high-loader service. During these weeks, you'll need to confirm orders earlier—typically forty-eight hours ahead—and expect firmer delivery windows as handlers manage apron congestion and fuel queue delays. We scale kitchen capacity and coordinate closely with FBOs to maintain on-time handover, but flexibility on your side helps when slot changes cascade across the schedule.

Costa Smeralda summer season

July to AugustNearby · OlbiaHeavy demand
On the field

During the Costa Smeralda summer season, expect significantly increased business aviation traffic at Cagliari Elmas with tighter apron availability, extended handling times, and more frequent PPR requirements due to peak seasonal movements toward northern Sardinia.

What we do about it

As yachting clientele fly larger-cabin aircraft throughout July and August, private jet catering orders shift to BBJ and ACJ configurations—galleys with dual ovens, full trolley capacity, and enough cold storage for multi-course service. We prep charter flight catering around your galley layout and reheat capability, not a standard box count.

Porto Cervo regattas

SeptemberNearby · OlbiaBusier than usual
On the field

During Porto Cervo regattas, you'll face increased apron congestion at Cagliari Elmas and tighter handling slot availability as the airport serves as primary gateway for superyacht crew rotations and race participants traveling to the Costa Smeralda.

What we do about it

Regatta-linked departures cluster within tight windows—ten to fifteen private jet catering orders departing the same morning rather than the usual two or three. Business aviation catering production moves forty-eight hours earlier; galley assembly starts the day before to keep pace without compromising individual service standards or product quality.

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