Private Jet Catering at Bauerfield International Airport (NVVV / VLI), Port Vila
Your inflight catering at VLI is prepared in Port Vila with local produce and delivered airside to match your departure slot. Single point of contact, temperature-controlled handling, and cabin-ready presentation for regional and long-haul sectors.
Aviation catering at VLI requires close attention to PPR windows and slot changes, particularly during peak morning movements when multiple charters stage through the same handling bay. Yuki times production to match confirmed pushback, adjusting the line if weather or clearance delays shift your boarding window. One product we rely on is locally landed yellowfin tuna, which arrives at the kitchen within three hours of offload and can be portioned as sashimi, seared loin, or ceviche depending on your galley capability and sector length. The fish holds well under ice through transfer and early cruise, and we vacuum-seal hot preparations for mid-haul reheat. For aircraft without full galley facilities, cold service is plated on stackable trays that fit narrow cabin configurations and remain stable during climb.
Chef Yuki Bernard brings together French culinary precision and Japanese refinement to create exceptional in-flight dining experiences. With expertise spanning haute cuisine techniques and delicate Asian flavors, she crafts bespoke menus that elevate private aviation to new gastronomic heights.
VLI slots are allocated under PPR, and catering delivery is timed to close before pushback. To order private jet catering, send your departure time, passenger count, and any dietary restrictions; a private jet catering quote returns within two hours during the working day. The standard lead time is twenty-four hours, allowing the kitchen preparing your order to source fresh ingredients and coordinate with your handling agent. Late changes are absorbed where the production schedule permits. Crews brief galley capacity and oven type at the time of order so portions and packaging match the aircraft's refrigeration and reheating limits.

Jet catering Port Vila
Port Vila's sole international gateway operates under PPR coordination and constrained apron capacity, meaning your departure slot dictates every stage of preparation. The kitchen preparing your business aviation catering at VLI works to that schedule: proteins seared, sauces finished, and plating sealed within the window your handler confirms. Each order moves through dedicated cold rooms, documented allergen protocol on every label, and temperature-controlled holding until airside release. Whether you require multi-course service or working-lunch simplicity, production is timed against your departure, not the other way around. Cold-chain integrity and same-day capacity ensure your private jet catering arrives ready to load, with no compromise on timing or traceability.

Every item carries literal allergen labelling—shellfish, gluten, dairy, nuts—and portioning scales to seat count.

Ramp delivery and handling at Bauerfield International Airport
Airside delivery for VIP and charter departures from Port Vila
Cold packs hold below 4°C from kitchen to galley. Temperature-controlled vehicles carry VIP flight catering and charter flight catering to the ramp under the same airside access protocol, with badged drivers cleared for apron entry. Handover occurs at your FBO or ramp-side at the aircraft door, at the slot you confirm. For wide-body cabins, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available, delivering directly to galley height. Government and head-of-state flights follow the same airside route, with manifests held in confidence and delegation volumes scaled without disclosure of the principal's identity.

Private jet catering at Bauerfield International Airport — questions
We deliver inflight catering at NVVV to the primary handling operator on the ramp and coordinate directly with your charter's ground agent. Bauerfield has a single terminal complex, so all airside deliveries follow the same access protocol. Confirm your handler's name when you place the order, and we'll liaise on stand assignment and timing.
We work to your departure slot rather than a fixed cut-off. Typical lead time depends on the complexity of your menu, passenger count, and current kitchen load. For standard service—breakfast, cold lunch, crew meals—we can often accommodate requests placed the afternoon before an early departure. Last-minute changes are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. We prepare separate sealed portions for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and other dietary requirements, with full ingredient disclosure and allergen labelling on each container. Note any restrictions when you order, and we'll include preparation details and cross-contact mitigation steps in your crew briefing documentation.
High-loader access for private plane catering is arranged where available and confirmed at the time of order. Aviation catering at NVVV sometimes shares loader availability with scheduled operations, so we coordinate with your handler and have a hand-load contingency in place for larger cabin aircraft if the equipment is committed elsewhere on your departure window.
Contact us with your departure time, passenger count, aircraft type, and any menu preferences or dietary restrictions. We'll confirm production timing, coordinate with your handling agent for ramp access, and provide a final manifest with reheating instructions and allergen documentation before delivery. You'll work with the same contact from order through handover.
