Do you deliver directly to the aircraft at Van Don?

Yes. We coordinate planeside delivery with whichever ground handler holds your aircraft, bringing catering to the foot of the stairs or direct to the galley door in galley-ready packaging.

Can you source genuinely local Vietnamese produce for a flight departing Van Don?

The Quảng Ninh coast and Haiphong markets, roughly 79 kilometres away, supply fresh seafood, herbs and regional ingredients that we can incorporate into same-day orders. Lead time permitting, locally sourced menus are a particular strength of this location.

Is kosher catering available?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, sourced through our certified network and delivered sealed and labelled to the aircraft.

Do you cater crew meals separately from principal dining?

Crew meals are ordered within the same brief and managed by the same point of contact. They are priced and packaged differently but receive identical sourcing standards.

Can you handle catering for connecting legs to Haiphong or Hanoi on the same order?

Yes. Sequential uplifts at multiple airports — including Haiphong and Hanoi — are coordinated through our single-network structure, covered by one order reference and one point of contact.

What notice do you need for a full multi-course principal menu at Van Don?

For elaborate multi-course menus with premium or specialist ingredients, 24 hours is the practical minimum. Simpler orders can be turned around considerably faster — contact us with your departure window and we will confirm what is achievable.

Private jet catering menu for Van Don

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenVietnam

To start

Bái Tử Long Oysters with Ginger Mignonette

Live oysters from the Quảng Ninh coast, shucked to order and finished with a fine-julienne ginger and rice-wine mignonette. Served cold on crushed ice in a sealed travel tray.

To start

Chả Mực — Quảng Ninh Squid Cake

Hand-pounded squid patties in the style of the northeastern coast, seasoned with dill and fish sauce, lightly grilled. Accompanied by pickled green papaya and nuoc cham in a separate pot.

Hot main

Clarified Pho Bo Broth with Hand-Cut Tendons and Rare Beef

A northern-style pho broth simmered for eight hours, strained clear, and transported in a thermally sealed flask. Noodles, thinly sliced rare beef and garnishes packed separately for assembly at altitude.

Cold main

Steamed Sea Bass with Turmeric and Dill

Whole fillet of white sea bass prepared in the chả cá manner — turmeric, galangal and dill — steamed rather than fried for clean galley presentation. Served with vermicelli and roasted peanuts.

Morning

Bánh Mì with Pâté, Pickled Daikon and Cucumber

Light, crisp baguette filled with house-made chicken liver pâté, air-dried pork, pickled daikon and carrot, fresh coriander and a swipe of Maggi-spiked butter. A considered breakfast option for early departures.

To finish

Coconut Pandan Panna Cotta

Set panna cotta made with first-press coconut milk and fresh pandan leaf extract, turned into individual glasses and topped with a thin layer of palm sugar caramel. Chilled and travel-stable.

Inflight Catering · Van Don

Inflight catering in Van Don

Van Don sits on the edge of Bái Tử Long Bay, a quieter extension of the same limestone-karst seascape that defines northeastern Vietnam. The surrounding Quảng Ninh province is prawn and oyster country — coastal aquaculture of genuine quality — and its markets supply ingredients that move from water to galley preparation in the same morning. Haiphong, some 79 kilometres to the south-west, adds the produce depth of a major port city to the region's already strong larder. For Van Don private jet catering, we work with suppliers across this northern coastal corridor, selecting cured and fresh seafood, aromatic highland herbs, and the region's characteristically light, broth-forward cooking tradition. The result is catering that is unmistakably of its place rather than a generic approximation of Vietnamese cuisine.

Regional Catering Menu · Van Don

Local sourcing for VDO

Northern Vietnamese cooking is restrained and precise: pho broth clarified over many hours, bánh cuốn rice rolls filled with wood-ear mushroom and minced pork, and chả mực — minced squid patties from the Quảng Ninh coast — that bear little resemblance to anything served further south. Our kitchen teams translate these traditions into galley-ready formats without flattening their character. Hot mains travel in thermally sealed containers calibrated for the aircraft's oven or hot-box; cold starters are portioned and plated to open at cruising altitude with minimal handling. For international menus, our aircraft catering sourcing network reaches beyond Van Don: seasonal European produce, Japanese-specification sashimi-grade fish, and pantry staples from our global partner depots can be consolidated into a single order. Crew meals receive the same sourcing rigour as principal dining — a point of contact manages both within one brief.
