Private Jet Catering at Alexandra Aerodrome (NZLX / ALR), Alexandra
Your inflight catering at ALR is prepared in Queenstown and delivered to Alexandra Aerodrome with full cold-chain control, covering private aircraft catering from turboprops through to long-range jets departing Central Otago.
For departures throughout the week, including positioning flights and weekend leisure legs, Theo Bernard times production to your slot and to the season's supply. He writes each menu against the passenger brief, the galley equipment onboard, and the sector duration. Orders are confirmed two days ahead; late requests are taken where kitchen capacity that day allows. Theo answers your messages directly, adjusts portioning if your count changes, and briefs the driver on ramp access and handover protocol at Alexandra Aerodrome. Cold plates, reheatable mains, and crew provision leave the same kitchen on the same run.
Theo Bernard brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation, crafting exceptional dining experiences at altitude. With extensive training in classical French techniques and contemporary gastronomy, he specializes in transforming premium ingredients into elegant, memorable dishes tailored to the most discerning travelers.
ALR handles a mix of business legs, charter movements, and seasonal leisure traffic, and the kitchen times production against that rhythm. When you order private jet catering, allow a lead time of 24 hours for a standard menu, 48 for custom requests or dietaries that require substitution. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours of your enquiry, itemised by passenger count and service type. Late changes are absorbed where the production schedule permits; your contact confirms feasibility and adjusts the delivery window to match your revised slot.

Private jet catering at Alexandra Aerodrome — questions
Alexandra Aerodrome is a smaller field with limited fixed-base infrastructure, and we coordinate inflight catering at NZLX directly with the handling agent or aircraft operator on record. If you're working with a specific ground handler, share their contact details when you place the order and we'll confirm ramp access and handoff protocol before departure.
Because we prepare everything in Queenstown and drive two hours to the ramp, same-day orders depend on kitchen availability and road conditions. Typically, we ask for notice by early afternoon the day before departure. If your slot moves or you have an urgent charter, call us directly and we'll see what's feasible given the current production schedule.
Yes. Every private jet catering order is built to specification—gluten free, dairy free, vegan, kosher-style, low FODMAP, or other medical diets. Ingredients are labelled, packed separately where cross-contact is a concern, and documented on the delivery manifest that travels with the flight attendant. Let us know the requirements when you order.
High-loader capability for aviation catering at NZLX is available where the FBO or handling agent can confirm equipment on the day of your flight. It's not a standing resource at Alexandra Aerodrome, so we verify at the time of order and note it on the delivery brief. If the loader isn't available, we hand the catering to your crew at ramp level or via the aircraft stairs.
Reach out by email or phone with your departure time, passenger count, and any menu or dietary preferences. We'll confirm availability from Queenstown, coordinate ramp access with the handling agent, and send a written order summary with delivery timing and contact numbers. Orders placed a day ahead give us the cleanest production window, but we'll work with tighter schedules when the calendar allows.
