Background

Chef Chloe Inoue, Executive Private Jet Chef, masters Middle Eastern luxury cuisine refined for high-altitude journeys. Her specialty lies in fragrant grains, charcoal-kissed proteins, and sophisticated sharing plates, crowned by her signature truffle vegetable tart featuring carefully composed market selections.

How the week is organised for flight catering at MAD

Government and head-of-state flights require protocol that charter sectors do not: delegation volumes briefed in confidence, manifests held without record, and delivery handed to named crew only. The kitchen works to the lead time you set—typically twenty-four hours for a custom order, less where the menu permits—and production is timed against the MAD slot list. When you order private jet catering, the same contact stays from the first message to the ramp, and a private jet catering quote reflects oven capacity and allergen labelling per seat.

The Madrid kitchen

Jet catering Madrid: the kitchen behind MAD

Government aircraft departing MAD require inflight catering that respects protocol, confidentiality, and the security of every handover. The kitchen preparing your order operates to documented standards: separate cold rooms, allergen protocols printed on every label, and preparation timed to your departure slot. Delegation volumes are handled through dedicated pâtisserie and garde-manger posts, with same-day capacity scaled to manifest size. Business aviation catering for head-of-state flights follows sealed plating procedures and cold-chain control from final assembly to airside delivery.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport

Breakfast trays packed for an early departure, cold plates that hold across a transatlantic leg, mains reheated in the galley oven, and crew meals on the same manifest. Each order for MAD is portioned per seat count, labelled for allergens at item level, and delivered with reheating instructions where they matter. You brief the cabin layout and departure time; the menu is written to fit both.

Seared tuna loin with fennel and citrus

Served cold, holds four hours under refrigeration, contains fish and may contain sesame.

Braised short rib with root vegetables and thyme jus

Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, contains celery and gluten.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery of VIP flight catering at Madrid

If the slot moves, the delivery moves with it. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for departures from MAD are delivered airside by badged drivers in temperature-controlled vehicles, coordinated with your FBO or handed to the captain at the aircraft door. For cabins with galley height, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order. The handover is timed against fuelling and your pre-flight sequence, and each order carries the contact who packed it.

Seasonal produce sourced near Madrid
Inflight catering — Spain

Seasonal produce on your inflight menu at MAD

You are not asked to serve yesterday's buffet. Each private jet menu changes with what the market gives, and portioning follows the cabin you brief: individual trays sealed for a long leg, family-style platters for a nine-seat interior, or plated service in a widebody galley. An inflight menu in May will not list the same vegetables as one ordered in November, and the kitchen preparing your order fits the format to oven capacity, trolley width, and refrigeration limits per aircraft type.

Local calendar

Private jet catering during Madrid's peak weeks

Late January brings FITUR, the international tourism fair, and mid-February sees ARCO, the contemporary art event—both weeks when the apron at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport fills with additional business and charter traffic. PPR windows tighten, handling slots compress and high-loader availability becomes harder to confirm. If you're operating into MAD during these periods, place your private jet catering order earlier than usual, share your preferred delivery window with your handler and confirm stand assignment as soon as it's known. Volumes rise, but lead time and coordination keep service reliable even when the field is busy.

FITUR (tourism fair)

JanuaryIn townBusier than usual
On the field

FITUR generates significant business aviation traffic at Madrid–Barajas, tightening apron availability and extending handling turnaround times. You should secure PPR and coordinate catering delivery slots with your FBO early to avoid operational delays during the fair week.

What we do about it

Chilled displays hold steady when departures shift two or three hours—business aviation catering built around gel packs and active cooling rather than static ice. Charter flight catering orders for FITUR in January often see late-morning slots move to early afternoon; we recharge what needs it and swap proteins if hold time exceeds safe margin.

ARCO (contemporary art fair)

FebruaryIn townBusier than usual
On the field

During ARCO week, expect significantly increased business aviation traffic at Madrid–Barajas with tighter apron availability, extended PPR lead times, and higher FBO workload. Early slot requests and handling coordination are essential to avoid delays.
