Private Jet Catering at Smithton Airport (YSMI / SIO), Smithton
Your inflight catering at SIO is tailored to the pace of Tasmanian business aviation—pre-departure briefings aligned with aircraft type, cold service designed for long ferry sectors, and crew meals sealed alongside passenger menus.
Fifteen delegation seats, a head-of-state cabin, and a security detail travelling separately — Tariq Bernard has cooked government orders at that scale, and he prepares the catering for your departures from SIO. Manifest discretion is absolute: no passenger names are stored, and handover is coordinated directly with the lead you nominate. Each menu is written to your brief, and allergen data travels with every container. Tariq answers every inquiry himself, and the same production team handles each order from Smithton, so timing and detail stay consistent across repeat departures.
Tariq Bernard brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation, combining classical French techniques with contemporary global influences. His innovative approach transforms premium ingredients into elevated dining experiences that reflect both sophistication and the dynamic spirit of modern luxury travel.
Production begins the morning you nominate, timed to your departure slot. To order private jet catering for a flight leaving SIO, allow twenty-four hours' lead time for a full menu; shorter notice is absorbed where the kitchen schedule permits. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours of your brief. Crew meals are added to the same order, portioned separately and labelled by seat or galley position. Late changes are worked into the packing sequence up to four hours before wheels-up.

Jet catering Smithton—kitchen to cabin
When the turnaround window at Smithton Airport is tight, your private jet catering needs to arrive ready to plate and seal without delay. The kitchen preparing your order for SIO works to a same-day production schedule, timing each course against your departure slot. Dedicated cold rooms hold proteins, dairy, and prepared components under documented temperature control. The pâtisserie post handles tarts, éclairs, and layered desserts; garde-manger prepares charcuterie, smoked salmon, and composed salads. Every dish is sealed after plating, labelled with full allergen and reheating protocols, and packed in insulated transit cases. Cold-chain integrity is maintained from final plating through to galley stowage, so your inflight catering reaches the aircraft in the condition your passenger expects.
Private jet catering menu at Smithton Airport
Breakfast service from first light: pastries, seasonal fruit, hot egg dishes that travel in insulated containers. Cold plates for long sectors: cured fish, roasted vegetables, leaves dressed separately. Mains that reheat in a galley oven without loss: braised cuts, gratins, tarts with a stable crust. Desserts that hold without refrigeration where cabin space is limited. Crew meals on the same order, portioned per seat. Every item carries a literal allergen label—dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts, sulphites—so your cabin crew can answer a passenger question in flight.
Cold-smoked or cured, plated with native pepperberry, sealed for same-day service and extended refrigeration.
Dry-aged cuts, seared and rested, portioned for reheat or served cold-sliced with grain mustard.
Raw-milk varieties, paired with apple and walnut, pre-cut and chilled for planeside handover.
Three of the dishes the Smithton Airport kitchen cooks. Allergen detail is confirmed in writing with your quote.

Ramp delivery and handling at Smithton Airport
Aviation catering delivery airside at SIO
Delegation aircraft require volume and discretion in equal measure—delivery is scheduled to the pre-flight sequence you set, handover occurs airside at the ramp or through your FBO, and the manifest remains confidential. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering share the same temperature-controlled run. High loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available, serving galley doors at height for widebody cabins. Badged drivers deliver to the aircraft door or to the handling agent you nominate. All packaging is labelled for refrigeration and reheating, timed to your departure window.
