Private Jet Catering at Wanganui Airport (NZWU / WAG), Wanganui
Your inflight catering at WAG is prepared in Wellington and delivered to Wanganui Airport under temperature control, with plating optimised for regional departures and cold rooms calibrated to short-haul timing.
For every order leaving Wanganui Airport, Nina Bernard cooks to the cabin, not to the plate. Galley ovens dry faster than deck ovens; seasoning fades under pressure; a sauce that coats at sea level will split at altitude. She builds each dish with moisture held back, salt measured forward, and acid timed to survive the reheat. Proteins rest longer, vegetables finish under rather than over, and cold plates are dressed to hold rather than to shine. You brief her on oven capacity and flight time; she answers directly, costs the order, and stays the single contact through delivery.
Nina Bernard is a classically trained Private Jet Chef with over a decade of experience crafting exceptional cuisine at altitude. She specializes in translating refined culinary techniques into elegant, travel-ready dishes that honor seasonal ingredients and contemporary French gastronomy.
WAG departures are slotted around morning and afternoon peaks; production is timed to the list, not to a fixed menu window. Lead time is typically 24 hours for a full order, 48 when the request includes allergen adaptation or a test dish. To order private jet catering, send your departure time, passenger count, and any dietary constraints; a private jet catering quote returns within two hours. Late changes are absorbed where cold-chain integrity allows. Sealed containers leave the kitchen at 2°C, hold through fuelling and pre-flight checks, and are handed to crew with holding instructions.

Jet catering Wanganui
Every tray sealed within two hours of your departure: that is the discipline behind private jet catering at Wanganui Airport (WAG / NZWU). The kitchen preparing your order for New Zealand operations applies documented cold-chain control from plating through handover, with temperature logs recorded at every stage. Dedicated cold rooms hold proteins, dairy, and prepared components separately. Same-day production is timed against your slot, so pâtisserie finishes cool before sealing and garde-manger plates are never held overnight. Each dish carries allergen documentation, and every seal is dated. If your departure moves, chilled transport maintains the cold chain until you are ready. Business aviation catering here is built on temperature discipline, not assumption—your crew receives what was intended, at the temperature intended.
Private jet catering menu at Wanganui Airport
You may order breakfast trays, cold plates that hold six hours or longer, mains that reheat in a galley oven without losing moisture, and crew meals on the same manifest. Portioning follows your seat count; every item carries literal allergen labelling. Menus are written per departure, not pulled from stock. If a dish requires an oven cycle longer than your galley allows, it will not appear on your order sheet. What can be served cold will be; what must be reheated is built to survive it.
Served cold, holds four hours under refrigeration, contains fish and may contain traces of shellfish.
Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, retains moisture at altitude, contains no common allergens.

Ramp delivery and handling at Wanganui Airport
Airside delivery and galley loading at Wanganui Airport
Cold packaging holds 2°C through the handover. Temperature-controlled vehicles deliver airside at the time you set, badged drivers meet your FBO or walk ramp-side to the aircraft door. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same discipline: sealed, labelled, ready to stow. For larger cabins, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available, serving galley doors at height. Crews brief on oven capacity and holding limits per type; reheats are timed to the slot, not to the kitchen clock.
