Private jet chef: Viktor Laurent for PSE departures

Early departures and afternoon long-haul legs from PSE — Viktor Laurent times each order to the slot list, not to a template. He writes the menu once the produce is bought, adjusts portioning to the cabin count you give, and packs for the hold time and reheating method your galley allows. You reach him directly: no hand-off, no checklist passed between departments. The same kitchen that takes your first call delivers airside at Mercedita International Airport, on the morning you set.

Cooked for your slot, packed for your galley.

Jet catering Ponce: kitchen facility and preparation

Charter programs running multiple tail numbers need one point of contact, not a supplier list for every leg. Your private aviation catering at PSE is managed through a single order workflow covering every airport we cover, with the kitchen preparing your order working to documented allergen protocols on every label. Same-day capability is timed against your departure slot, not a fixed cutoff. Dedicated cold rooms maintain cold-chain control from plating through sealing, with pâtisserie and garde-manger posts handling the range you brief. High loader capacity for large cabins is available where the ramp permits. Your inflight catering order arrives airside in temperature-controlled transport, sealed after final plating and documented for handover at Mercedita International Airport.

Seasonal produce sourced near Ponce
Inflight catering — Puerto Rico

Flight catering at PSE adapted to limited infrastructure

Mercedita International Airport operates with limited on-site catering infrastructure — orders are planned further ahead to meet your departure slot. Your private jet menu reflects what the season delivers: citrus and root vegetables through cooler months, stone fruit and greens as temperatures rise. The inflight menu adjusts to supply windows rather than fixed repertoire, and lead time accounts for production off-field and the journey to your aircraft.
