Which handlers at DUR can you deliver to?

We deliver planeside to whichever handler or FBO holds your aircraft at DUR — no prior account or relationship with us is required. When you submit your request, confirm the handling agent's name and we coordinate directly with them on access and timing.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at DUR?

Same-day catering at King Shaka is a standard request, not an exception. Our 24/7 team receives and confirms orders around the clock; lead-time requirements depend on menu complexity and order size. Contact us as early as you can — even a short window is worth a call.

How are crew meals handled at Durban?

Crew meals for DUR departures are ordered alongside the passenger catering and delivered in the same uplift. They are portioned and packed for galley rotation rather than service presentation, and priced for operators managing multiple crew positions. Note crew count and any dietary requirements when placing your order.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian, and allergy requirements at DUR?

Yes — halal, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available on every menu at DUR, reflecting the city's food culture. Kosher catering requires 24 hours' lead time. List all dietary and allergen requirements in your initial request so we can confirm availability before finalising the order.

How do I place an order for a DUR departure?

Submit your request through the Altitude Dining order form or contact your coordinator directly — include departure date, aircraft type, number of passengers, crew count, and any dietary requirements. You will receive confirmation in under 10 minutes, 24/7. We handle changes and late additions through the same single contact.

What does catering at DUR cost?

Inflight Catering · Durban

Inflight catering for Durban flights

KwaZulu-Natal produces some of the most direct-to-aircraft food in South Africa. Durban's wholesale markets move Midlands trout, Zululand sugarcane honey, subtropical fruit from the South Coast — litchis, avocados, pawpaw — and the reef fish landed daily along the Berea coast. These are not decorative details; they are what distinguishes a DUR departure from one assembled from central-warehouse stock. The city's Indian community, one of the largest outside the subcontinent, has shaped a food culture that is precise and ingredient-led: Durban masala ground to kitchen specifications, line-caught kingklip, Natal spiced lentils that board well and hold temperature correctly. When a flight departs FALE for Johannesburg, London, or Dubai, the galley reflects where it left from.

Regional Catering Menu · Durban

Durban private jet catering

Linefish from the KwaZulu-Natal coast — kingklip, dorado, yellowfin tuna — forms the backbone of cold and hot main options departing DUR, served with accompaniments built around local produce: Midlands herb salads, roasted sweet potato from the interior, chakalaka prepared to a kitchen standard rather than a chafing-dish temperature. For lighter service and long-haul morning departures, subtropical fruit platters from Tongaat growers and freshly baked vetkoek or samoosas from Durban's Indian bakery suppliers travel well and signal provenance the moment the galley is opened.
