Private Jet Catering at Kerema Airport (AYKM / KMA), Kerema
Your inflight catering at KMA is prepared in Lae and delivered to Kerema Airport with cold-chain control, tailored plating for cabin galleys, and allergen labelling that meets private aircraft catering standards across the Gulf of Papua.
Where a remote field like Kerema Airport imposes longer lead time and limited handling hours, your order is planned earlier and packed to travel further without compromise. Hana Bernard cooks each departure menu to the brief you send, answers directly, and ensures that dishes leaving for a long sector hold temperature, texture, and label accuracy through every stage to the galley. Crew meals are portioned separately on the same production run, and reheating instructions travel with the load.
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.
Cold-chain discipline begins at packing and continues through every handover to the ramp. Kerema Airport operates with limited on-site infrastructure, so lead time to order private jet catering here is longer than at a hub: forty-eight hours is standard, seventy-two preferred for complex menus. Production is timed against the day's departure list, and delivery runs are synchronised with fuelling and pre-flight checks. Your private jet catering quote reflects the brief you send—passenger count, galley oven capacity, refrigeration limits per type, and any allergen requirements. Crews are briefed on reheating instructions before pushback.

Jet catering Kerema
A tray of cold poached prawns is plated, sealed, and logged by hand before it leaves the kitchen preparing your order for Kerema Airport (KMA). Infrastructure at the field is limited—no on-site catering facility, short handling windows—so private jet catering here is planned further ahead than you might schedule elsewhere. The kitchen works to your departure slot, not a standing menu. Cold rooms hold stock across protein, dairy, and produce; pâtisserie and garde-manger posts handle everything from laminated pastry to turned vegetables. Business aviation catering is assembled same-day, sealed after plating, and moved under full cold-chain control.
