Chef Ayana Kowalski: European precision for LSMD departures

For departures from Dübendorf Air Base, Chef Ayana Kowalski leads the kitchen preparing your order. She works the brief you send—passenger count, galley type, sector length, and any exclusions—and builds the menu to match. Changes are typically taken up to twelve hours before wheels-up; tighter windows depend on what has already been committed to production. You communicate directly with her team, and the same contact confirms loading and resolves any ramp-side question on the day of departure.

How to order flight catering for long sectors from LSMD

LSMD departures peak mid-morning and late afternoon; production is timed to the slot list you provide. Lead time is typically twenty-four hours for a full build; shorter notice is possible if the dish count and galley specification allow. Long sectors require mains that reheat without drying, cold plates that hold texture across six or eight hours, and crew meals portioned separately on the same order. When you order private jet catering, state oven type, refrigeration capacity, and any allergen exclusions. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours of your request.

Jet catering Zurich: the kitchen behind LSMD

Eighteen-hour sectors demand a different discipline. Your private aviation catering for LSMD long-haul departures is prepared in a dedicated facility where dishes are built to withstand cruise duration, reheating cycles, and second-service timing. Cold-chain protocol covers every stage: blast-chilling after plating, sealed containers, documented temperature logs from kitchen to galley. The pâtisserie and garde-manger posts work in sequence—what travels well is plated first, what needs final assembly is packed separately. Crew meals run on the same production schedule, labeled with allergen data and reheating instructions. Business aviation catering at Zurich Dübendorf Air Base reflects what long sectors require: structure, cold-room discipline, and timing aligned to your slot, not ours.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Dübendorf Air Base

You may order breakfast trays, cold-hold plates for daytime legs, hot mains that reheat in a galley oven, and crew meals on the same load sheet. Every item carries literal allergen labelling. Portioning matches seat count; serving instructions note oven temperature and hold time. Dishes are chosen for how they travel and how they finish in the cabin, not for novelty.

Smoked trout, cucumber ribbons, dill crème fraîche

Served cold, holds four hours under refrigeration, contains fish and dairy.

Braised beef short rib, celeriac purée, glazed carrots

Reheats in a convection oven at 160 °C for twelve minutes, contains celery.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery at Dübendorf Air Base

Cold-chain integrity begins with insulated transport and ends at the galley door. Temperature-controlled vehicles carry your order airside, driven by badged personnel cleared for ramp access at LSMD. Handover is timed to your slot—at your FBO or ramp-side at the aircraft, as you specify. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering run the same route, so a mixed fleet departs on schedule. For wide-body cabins, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available. Lead time is typically forty-eight hours; same-day requests are absorbed when the production schedule allows.

Seasonal produce sourced near Zurich
Inflight catering — Switzerland

Inflight catering Zurich: seasonal produce and local suppliers

Zurich sits at the centre of Swiss agricultural valleys and alpine pastures, giving us access to seasonal vegetables, dairy and artisan bakery products year-round. We work with suppliers in the canton for fresh herbs, root vegetables during autumn and winter, and soft fruits in summer, selecting each ingredient for flavour, traceability and suitability to cabin service. Local sourcing means shorter lead times, better texture after chilling, and a menu that reflects the region without compromising the technical requirements of private plane catering. When a passenger requests a vegetarian composition or a low-allergen brief, we draw on this supply base to build plates that travel cleanly, reheat predictably and arrive looking composed rather than improvised. Seasonal quality also informs our standby menu: what you see offered in January will differ from July, because we adapt to what the market delivers at peak ripeness. This approach keeps every order honest—regional ingredients chosen for cabin performance, not for decoration—and aligns our private jet catering with the discipline your operation expects.

Local calendar

Peak season and event-driven traffic at LSMD

Dübendorf Air Base sees concentrated business aviation movements during two annual windows: mid-to-late January, when World Economic Forum attendance in nearby Davos brings executive traffic through Zurich, and December through March, when the St. Moritz winter season drives weekend charter demand. During these periods, you'll find tighter PPR coordination, busier aprons, longer handler queues and reduced flexibility for last-minute catering changes. We recommend advancing your private jet catering order by at least one additional day during these weeks, confirming galley specifications early, and notifying us of any passenger-count revisions as soon as your manifest firms. High-loader equipment becomes contested, so if your aircraft requires door-level service, flag it when you book.

World Economic Forum (Davos, nearby)

mid to late JanuaryIn townHeavy demand
On the field

During the Forum, Dübendorf Air Base operates under strict PPR with significantly reduced slot availability and extended apron congestion. You should expect longer handling coordination times and limited parking windows throughout the event week.

What we do about it

Delegations moving through Zurich during the World Economic Forum period require business aviation catering that holds through staggered departure windows—sealed boxes and plated formats remain stable when slots shift. We build private jet catering and crew meals around your revised ETA, not the original brief, so service quality stays intact even when ramp access compresses mid to late January.

St. Moritz winter season (nearby)

December to MarchIn townBusier than usual
On the field

During the St. Moritz winter season, you'll find Dübendorf operating under military coordination with limited civilian slots and strict PPR requirements. Expect tighter apron availability and longer handling lead times as resort-bound traffic increases through this military airfield.

What we do about it

Resort-bound passengers rarely shift timing, so December and January private jet catering orders arrive firm and early. February onward sees tighter lead times as charter flight catering requests layer onto a committed schedule—hot meals and specialist dietary requests need 48 hours minimum, crew meals remain possible same-day through March.

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