Chef Tiago Caruso for Hay departures

HXX government and delegation movements require a level of discretion that most commercial operations never see: manifests that remain sealed, delivery handovers logged and countersigned, menu content cleared without naming the principal. Chef Tiago Caruso prepares those orders with the same protocol discipline applied to every departure from Hay Airport, whether a ministerial delegation or a private owner travelling alone. He answers your calls directly, works allergen briefs into every dish, and ensures the cold chain holds from kitchen to galley door.

Cooked for your slot, packed for your galley.

Background

Chef Tiago Caruso brings refined coastal Mediterranean cuisine to private aviation through meticulous precision baking and bold yet restrained flavour profiles. His signature creations—roasted tomato and burrata composition, herb-roasted chicken with morel jus, and vanilla bean opera slice—define his distinctive approach to formal fine dining at altitude.

How to order private jet catering for a departure from HXX

Hay Airport operates under prior permission required during peak agricultural charter movements, particularly at harvest. That constraint shapes when a delivery run can cross the apron. To order private jet catering, send your departure time, passenger count, and any dietary restrictions; a private jet catering quote follows within the hour. The kitchen requests a twelve-hour lead time for full custom orders, though shorter turnarounds are absorbed where the production schedule allows.

The Hay kitchen

Jet catering Hay

The kitchen that prepares private jet catering for Hay Airport operates climate-controlled cold rooms, a dedicated pâtisserie station and garde-manger lines scaled to same-day production. Proteins are seared or roasted to align with your departure slot, then cooled rapidly and sealed under vacuum or inert atmosphere. Salads and cold platters are dressed just before packing; hot entrées travel in hermetic trays with reheating instructions written for aircraft galley equipment. Pastry is baked in rotation—croissants, tarts and entremet slices emerge from deck ovens, cool on racks and move into chilled holding before final boxing. Every private aircraft catering order leaves under tamper-evident seal, logged for traceability and staged by tail number to prevent cross-loading.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Hay Airport

You may order breakfast trays for an early departure, cold plates that hold across a long domestic leg, and mains that reheat in your galley oven. Crew meals travel on the same order, portioned separately and labelled. Every item carries literal allergen information—dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts—written on the packaging. Quantities are built to your seat count, and portions reflect the cabin service you describe, whether plated in sequence or presented as a single service.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery coordinated with your handling agent at Hay Airport

Sixteen delegation seats, a presidential cabin, or a single principal travelling discreetly: government and head-of-state flights require protocol that leaves no margin. The manifest remains confidential, the handover is documented, and the driver carries badging for airside access at Hay Airport. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are delivered on the same temperature-controlled run, timed to your fuelling schedule. For larger cabins, high loader capability is confirmed at the time of order where available. Your FBO or the handling agent you nominate receives the delivery and signs off at the point you specify.

Inflight catering — Australia

Flight catering adapted to the season at HXX

Chilled salmon arrives at the FBO desk two hours before your slot, packed in ice and labelled with your tail number. What appears on the private jet menu changes as the season turns: stone fruit and berries through summer, root vegetables and citrus in the cooler months. The inflight menu reflects what the market gives that week, sourced fresh and prepared the morning of your departure. Your handling agent confirms the handover point—aircraft door or FBO holding room—and the kitchen schedules delivery to match your pre-flight window, coordinating badged access and airside timing with the crew brief you provide.
