Private jets have become more and more popular among business travelers and people who are looking for comfort, convenience, and personalized service on board. One aspect of this personalized experience is the availability of tailored menus on board private jets. In this article, AEROAFFAIRES explores the world of private jet dining, and how it allows passengers to indulge in delicious culinary creations tailored to their preferences.
The importance of tailored menus on private jets:
Traveling by private jet offers a level of exclusivity that goes beyond what commercial travel can provide. One of the most significant aspects of this experience is the ability for passengers to fully customize their onboard menu based on their tastes, specific dietary requirements, religious considerations, and many other criteria. While commercial airlines offer standardized menus, private jet flights offers the opportunity to create tailor-made menus to suit the tastes and requirements of each passenger. Travelers can thus enjoy a first-rate culinary experience, even at high altitude.
Advantages of personalized menus on private jets:
Flexibility
Whether you have specific dietary restrictions, particular culinary preferences, or simply want to enjoy your favorite dishes, the chefs on board private jets are ready to accommodate all your requests.
For instance, one of AEROAFFAIRES’ loyal clients follows a Keto diet, and we make sure to provide Keto meals for them for all their private flights.
Quality
Personalized menus on private jets are only prepared with high-quality ingredients. Chefs work with local suppliers and renowned producers to guarantee the freshness and quality of the dishes served on board.
Creativity
Customized menus on private jets allow chefs to give free rein to their culinary creativity, just as they would when cooking for a gourmet restaurant. They can create dishes just as unique and innovative as those offered in traditional restaurants. This creative approach offers passengers an exceptional, personalized dining experience.
Personalized service
When traveling by private jet, quality of service always comes first and foremost. Chefs providing meals for private jets make sure to prepare personalized service to each passenger. They make sure to meet your needs and ensure an unforgettable culinary experience.
How do personalized menus on private jets work?
The chefs develop personalized menus, also known as “catering,” based on the preferences and specific requests of each passenger. Prior to the flight, passengers are often invited to either verbally specify their culinary preferences or fill out a detailed questionnaire regarding their dietary preferences, allergies, dietary restrictions, and favorite dishes.
Based on this information, chefs work closely with their teams to create customized menus that meet the expectations of each passenger. They can also take into account regional preferences, seasonal options, and local ingredients to provide a unique culinary experience.
Menus can include a variety of dishes, appetizers, desserts, main courses, and side-dishes. Passengers can also choose from a selection of wines, champagnes, and beverages to pair with their meals.
Who does AEROAFFAIRES work with to ensure quality catering on private jets?
AEROAFFAIRES collaborates with airline operators for this type of service. The AEROAFFAIRES team works with caterers specialized in aviation catering. If the flight departs from Le Bourget Airport, we hire a specialized and experienced caterer who understands the constraints related to aviation and meets the clients’ requirements.
Are personalized or gourmet menus on private jets included in the flight price?
The presence of catering on board depends on the type of aircraft booked. Generally, snacks (chips, peanuts, cereal bars, etc.) are available to passengers on each flight.
On larger aircraft (Challenger, Falcon, Gulfstream, etc.), the crew offers meals or breakfasts according to the flight time.
It is also possible to provide a personalized meal as an additional service. This option is subject to a quote, as there are no fixed prices. It depends on each request and destination.
Are chefs on board private jets professionals?
Usually, experienced professionals from the restaurant industry provide training for the chefs. They have often worked in Michelin-starred restaurants and possess expertise in creating high-quality dishes. Some chefs may also undergo specific training to adapt to the constraints of in-flight catering.
Can I request specific dishes that are not on the menu?
Chefs on board private jets can accommodate to specific passenger requests. If you have a preference for a dish that is not on the menu, please mention it when booking your flight. The chef can adapt your menu accordingly. For example, if you are pregnant and require adapted meals, please inform our team for snacks and meals tailored to your needs.
