Every seal is checked before the vehicle leaves—Zara Bernard runs the cold chain from pack to handover. Orders for LRE are held at 2°C to 4°C throughout transit, in insulated containers that maintain temperature even when the aircraft is delayed on the apron. If the slot is pushed, the delivery is retimed and the kitchen notified so holding conditions remain controlled. Zara cooks to the galley equipment you specify, ensuring that a main reheats evenly in the oven type fitted to your aircraft and that a cold plate is portioned to fit the service flow your crew prefers.
Zara Bernard brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation, crafting bespoke menus that elevate every journey. With expertise in sophisticated international cuisine and seasonal ingredients, she transforms in-flight dining into an exceptional gastronomic experience tailored to the most discerning travelers.

Jet catering Longreach: kitchen and cold-chain prep
Hours before your departure slot, the kitchen preparing your order begins documenting allergens for every component on the menu. Each item is labelled with literal allergen wording—dairy, gluten, shellfish, tree nuts—so your crew can brief passengers at a glance. Special diets travel on the same order: kosher, halal, vegan, and low-sodium requests are plated in the same cold rooms, sealed separately, and tagged with preparation protocols. Private jet catering at LRE is timed against your schedule, with cold-chain control maintained from final plating through airside handover. The facility holds dedicated posts for garde-manger and pâtisserie, and same-day capacity means your inflight catering reflects what the market offers that morning, not what was frozen days earlier.
