Lucas Bernard — private jet chef for Maré

You will not receive a menu written three months ago and reheated on demand. Lucas Bernard cooks each order for Maré Airport as it is placed, writes the menu against the passenger count and the sector length you give, and answers directly when a detail needs to change. On long sectors—ten hours, fourteen—he builds dishes that hold their structure and flavour well beyond the first service, marks reheating instructions on every container, and plates crew meals to travel on the same delivery. What leaves his kitchen is what you described, prepared on your schedule.

How to order private jet catering for departures from MEE

Early in the week, the kitchen reviews the slot list and plans production around confirmed departures, though Maré Airport sees fewer scheduled movements than larger fields and the handling hours are limited. Lead time of forty-eight hours is standard; shorter notice is possible when the private jet catering quote stays within what can be sourced and prepared that morning. You order private jet catering by sending passenger count, dietary restrictions, and your departure slot; the quote comes back with dish descriptions, allergen flags, and a delivery window timed to your fuelling and pre-flight checks.

The Maré kitchen

Jet catering Maré — prepared in Nouméa

Prepared in a dedicated kitchen with full cold-chain control, your inflight catering for MEE is timed against the departure slot you provide. Maré Airport offers limited on-site infrastructure and short handling hours, so orders require advance notice—typically forty-eight hours—to coordinate production, packing, and airside handover. The facility works to documented allergen protocols, with every label showing ingredient detail and pack time. Pâtisserie, garde-manger, and hot finishing posts are staffed for same-day service when lead time permits. Meals are sealed after plating, held in temperature-controlled rooms, and dispatched in insulated carriers. Because private aviation catering at MEE relies on scheduled coordination rather than walk-up availability, your ETA and final count matter. Business aviation catering here is planned, not improvised—build the order into your flight planning, and the kitchen will meet your brief.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Maré Airport

You can order breakfast trays for an early departure from Maré, cold plates that hold across a long sector without refrigeration loss, hot mains portioned for galley reheating, and crew meals travelling on the same order. Every item carries literal allergen labelling—dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts—and portioning is confirmed per seat before the kitchen packs. What reheats in your oven, what is served cold, and what needs to be plated on board are all spelled out in the quote, so your cabin crew knows exactly how each dish is handled.

Seared tuna with sesame crust and pickled vegetables

Served cold, holds six hours under refrigeration, contains fish, sesame, and soy.

Braised chicken with root vegetables and herb jus

Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, contains celery and white wine.

Dark chocolate tart with salted caramel

Served at cabin temperature, holds eight hours, contains gluten, dairy, and eggs.

Three of the dishes the Maré Airport kitchen cooks. Allergen detail is confirmed in writing with your quote.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery and VIP flight catering at Maré Airport

A seventeen-hour sector from Maré demands hot dishes that reheat cleanly in the galley, cold plates sealed for the full cruise, and second-service planning built into the order from the start. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering both leave on the same temperature-controlled run, delivered airside to your FBO or direct to the aircraft door at the time you nominate. High loader capability is confirmed at the time of order for large-cabin aircraft where galley access requires it. Crew meals travel on the same manifest, portioned and labelled separately, handover timed to your pre-flight schedule.

Flight catering menus prepared for departures from MEE

Twelve to sixteen hours is the typical order window for departures from Maré Airport, though requests with less notice can often be accommodated depending on the day and the complexity of the private jet menu. Same-day changes—passenger count, a substitution, a dietary restriction flagged late—are absorbed where the kitchen preparing your order has not yet packed. What arrives in the cabin reflects what the market gives that month: fish in season, produce at its peak, cuts that suit the inflight menu your passengers expect. The shorter the supply chain, the later an ingredient can be confirmed.
