Air
Charter Catering
In air charters, catered-meals are the perhaps
most common amenity in flights of more than an hour. Some
better equipped & larger jets usually accommodate onboard
cooking. Aircraft smaller than 10-seat capacity cannot handle
this. Advance coordination of this service is necessary for
anything more complicated than drinks or coffee and doughnuts.
But as you "own" the aircraft while you have it
-- you are entitled to ask for something special!
A very important precaution is that bringing
food onto an aircraft is not just another form of takeout.
Just because quite a few hours can pass by between preparation
and transportation to aircraft, reheating, and service at
cruising altitude, meals that are treated like ordinary takeout
can spoil and endanger the health of passengers and crew.
An
good operator or broker will help you coordinate with an in-flight
caterer who provides a meal of the finest taste and quality.
Make sure that they are told of any dietary restrictions you
have. If you are picking up your food from your favorite restaurant,
let the caterers know if you will not be eating the food rightaway
so the chef can plan your meal appropriately.
In-flight caterers also supply the services
of event planners. If you, your business party or family is
traveling around a holiday or a celebration, ask your caterer
for some ways to make the trip special. Birthday-cakes, special
activities and holiday decorations can be ordered ahead of
your trip. Usually, with creative planning, your holiday celebration
does not start when you reach your destination--but it begins
just as you step on-board.
