Private jet chef — Hana Bernard for HKN departures

Preparing each order to travel well and reheat cleanly, Hana Bernard cooks for departures from Hoskins Airport with the same discipline across a two-hour flight and an eight-hour crossing. Proteins are seared or braised to hold moisture under refrigeration; vegetables are blanched to a point where galley reheating finishes rather than overcooks them. You reach Hana Bernard directly—no ticket system, no intermediary—so a last-minute passenger count or a dietary flag is absorbed without the order being rebuilt from scratch. Crew meals are portioned and labelled separately on every run.

Background

Chef Hana Bernard brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation, crafting elevated dining experiences at altitude. Specializing in contemporary French cuisine with Asian influences, she creates sophisticated menus that balance technical precision with bold, harmonious flavors tailored to discerning travelers.

How to order flight catering for departures from Kimbe

At a field with limited on-site infrastructure, the production schedule for HKN starts earlier. To order private jet catering, allow forty-eight hours' lead time for a full menu; shorter notice is possible for standard configurations already in the cycle. A private jet catering quote comes back within two hours of your request, showing dish detail, portioning, and the delivery slot. The kitchen times each order against the weekly departure list, and late changes are absorbed where the production window allows. Your crew confirmation includes oven and refrigeration notes per aircraft type.

Jet catering Kimbe — prepared for Hoskins Airport

Hoskins Airport operates with limited on-site infrastructure, which means your private aviation catering is prepared off-field and delivered airside with cold-chain discipline throughout. The kitchen preparing your order maintains dedicated cold rooms, separate allergen workstations, and same-day capacity timed against your departure slot at HKN. Pâtisserie, garde-manger, and hot service posts work to the brief you send: dietary restrictions are documented on every label, plating is sealed immediately after assembly, and temperature logs travel with each delivery. Handling hours at Kimbe are shorter than at larger fields, so lead time matters—typically forty-eight hours for a full inflight catering order, more if sourcing a specific request. The facility works within those constraints, not against them, coordinating with your handler to meet the slot you've filed.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Hoskins Airport

Breakfast boards, cold plates for sectors where no galley reheat is planned, mains that finish in a convection oven, desserts that hold at cabin temperature—all portioned per seat and labelled for allergens. Crew meals travel on the same order, packed separately, marked for flight deck or cabin. The menu is written against what you need the food to do: hold over distance, reheat once, serve cold from the door, fit the stowage you have.

Seared tuna with pickled vegetables and sesame

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

Braised chicken thigh with root vegetables and herb jus

Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, gluten-free.

Aviation catering and the order window at HKN

If the slot moves, your inflight menu can move with it. Orders for departures from HKN are adjusted up to the hour the kitchen closes production, typically late morning for an afternoon departure. A same-day request means the private jet menu is built from what has already been prepped that morning—cold plates, cured protein, items that hold without reheating. Fresh produce is bought to the week's order list; a last-minute addition pulls from that stock rather than sourcing new. The tighter the window, the simpler the plate, but it remains yours.
