Which handling agents do you deliver to at DLU?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at ZPDL. We do not restrict delivery to a named FBO list — our team coordinates directly with the handling agent you have engaged.

Can you source authentic Yunnan ingredients for a flight departing Dali?

Yes. Our Dali-region sourcing covers Yunnan ham, wild mushrooms, Bai-style goat's cheese, Erhai Lake fish in season, Pu'er tea and local rose preparations. These are integrated into menus rather than offered as add-ons.

Do you cater crew meals as well as passenger orders?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. They are packaged separately, clearly labelled and delivered at the same time as the passenger uplift.

Is Kosher catering available at Dali Airport?

Kosher catering is available with a minimum lead time of 24 hours from confirmed order to departure. Please advise us at the earliest opportunity so certification and cold-chain requirements can be met.

How does the altitude at Dali affect the catering?

At 7,050 feet, the aircraft is already operating in thinner air before it departs, and cabin pressure will reduce further once airborne. We favour clean, aromatic flavours and lighter preparations over heavy sauces — a philosophy that also happens to suit the regional cuisine well.

Can you support flights operating across the Yunnan corridor — for example into Lijiang or Kunming on the same trip?

Yes. Our network covers the Yunnan region, and we can coordinate catering for multi-leg itineraries that include airports such as Lijiang or Kunming. Advise us of your full routing when placing the order.

Private jet catering menu for Dali

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Dali departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenChina

To start

Yunnan Cross-Bridge Broth

A clarified chicken and ham broth with rice noodles, thinly sliced mountain mushrooms and fresh herbs — composed tableside in the cabin from a sealed broth pot and individually portioned inserts.

Cold main

Bai-Style Goat's Cheese Plate

Locally cured goat's cheese set alongside pickled rose petals, Yunnan walnut halves and thin slices of air-dried ham, served at cool cabin temperature on a slate board.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Yunnan Black Pork

Pork belly braised over several hours with fermented black bean, star anise and Shaoxing wine, finished with pickled mustard greens and steamed rice — a preparation that holds well at altitude.

Morning

Congee with Preserved Duck Egg and Ginger

A slow-cooked rice congee made from Yunnan short-grain rice, garnished with century egg, fine-shredded ginger, sesame oil and crisp shallots — a composed, warming morning course.

Pâtisserie

Rose and Yunnan Brown Sugar Cake

A steamed sponge made with unrefined Yunnan brown sugar and dried rose petals, served warm with a small pot of pu'er tea syrup alongside.

To finish

Wild Mushroom and Pine Nut Salad

Foraged porcini and matsutake from the surrounding pine forests, briefly dressed with cold-pressed rapeseed oil, lemon and toasted pine nuts — light, aromatic and unmistakably regional.

Inflight catering in Dali

Dali is one of Yunnan's most storied cities — a place where Bai culture, ancient trade routes and high-altitude agriculture converge. The markets around Dali Old Town yield ingredients that are quietly exceptional: wild mushrooms gathered from pine forests, fresh goat's cheese made in the Bai tradition, Yunnan ham cured over months, and rose petals used in both confectionery and savoury preparations. These are not decorative touches; they are the backbone of a genuinely regional table. The broader Yunnan corridor — stretching toward Lijiang to the north and Kunming to the southeast — gives our sourcing team access to one of China's most biodiverse larders. Pu'er tea, mountain herbs, minority-cuisine techniques and cold-climate produce all converge here in ways that reward a kitchen willing to take them seriously. Our menus for ZPDL departures are designed to reflect that convergence honestly.

Regional Catering Menu · Dali

Local sourcing for DLU

Yunnan cuisine resists easy summary. At altitude, flavours tend toward the clean and aromatic rather than the rich and heavy — a quality that translates well to the cabin. Expect preparations built around cross-bridge rice noodles served as a composed broth course, slow-braised Yunnan black pork with pickled vegetables, and wok-tossed seasonal greens with preserved egg and ginger. Bai-style fish from Erhai Lake, when in season, offers a delicate freshwater option that few catering houses outside the region can source credibly. For passengers preferring lighter or Western-aligned menus, our kitchen composes cold plates around local charcuterie, aged goat's cheese and seasonal fruit from the surrounding valley floors. Pastry work incorporates Yunnan brown sugar and dried rose — understated signatures that distinguish a Dali departure from anything assembled in a central commissary. Kosher orders are fulfilled with a minimum 24-hour lead time.
