Jet catering Avarua

Cabin crew operating through RAR work with a dedicated facility that prepares each service format to match your aircraft configuration. Private aviation catering at Rarotonga International Airport is built around individual trays for smaller cabins, family-style platters when the galley allows, and portion control scaled to your passenger manifest. The kitchen preparing your order maintains separate cold rooms for proteins, dairy, and ready-to-plate items, with documented allergen protocols on every label. Pâtisserie and garde-manger posts cook to your departure slot, sealing each tray after plating to preserve temperature integrity. Business aviation catering here includes trolley-fit verification and portioning guidance, so your crew boards knowing exactly how each course will move through the aisle and what space it requires.

Seasonal produce sourced near Avarua
Inflight catering — Cook Islands

Flight catering adapted to what the season offers at RAR

Prepared in a dedicated kitchen, your private jet menu reflects what the market offers each month and what holds across the flight profile you specify. As slot availability at RAR tightens during peak morning departures, orders are staged the evening before and delivered at first light, with cold-chain integrity maintained throughout. Your inflight menu is built around produce that travels well—firm fish for cold service, root vegetables that reheat without breaking down, citrus and stone fruit in their natural window. Short supply chains mean tighter lead times and fewer substitutions.
