Private Jet Catering at Wanaka Airport (NZWF / WKA), Wanaka
Your inflight catering at WKA is prepared in Queenstown and delivered under temperature control to Wanaka Airport, supporting scenic departures and long-haul sectors with fresh, locally sourced menus tailored to your cabin and crew.
WKA departures are prepared by Theo Bernard, who cooks each order to the brief you send and packs it in temperature-controlled containers that travel under continuous monitoring. Cold items are sealed within thirty minutes of final plating and held below 4°C until handover airside; hot mains are chilled immediately after cooking, then reheated by your crew in the galley oven using the timing card included in every delivery. If the departure is delayed, the vehicle holds cold chain and Theo adjusts the delivery window to match your new slot.
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.
Allergen information is printed on every label, listed by ingredient, not by category—crews read what is present, not what might be. Special diets are handled on the same order: gluten-free mains, dairy-free desserts, plant-based crew meals plated and sealed separately. Lead time for departures from Wanaka Airport is typically forty-eight hours; shorter notice is accommodated where the production schedule permits. When you order private jet catering, state oven capacity and refrigeration limits for your aircraft type so portioning and packing match the galley. A private jet catering quote is returned within four hours.
