How much notice is required?

For most fresh orders we ask for as much lead time as your schedule allows, to give us room to source locally. Kosher catering requires a confirmed order at least 24 hours before the planned departure.

Does Kitee have customs facilities on the field?

We do not hold customs data for EFIT and recommend you confirm border formalities directly with your handler or operator before arrival. Our delivery process adapts to whatever access arrangements are in place on the day.

Which FBOs or handlers do you work with at Kitee?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. There is no exclusive arrangement; simply provide us with the handling agent's details when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you cater for an itinerary that also includes Joensuu or Savonlinna?

Yes. Both airports are within 65 kilometres of Kitee and sit within our network. We treat a multi-leg itinerary as a single brief, maintaining a consistent standard across each uplift point.

What packaging do you use for smaller business aircraft?

All orders are delivered galley-ready, with packaging scaled to the aircraft type confirmed at the time of order. For compact galleys common at EFIT, we ensure everything is dimensioned to fit without reconfiguration on the ramp.

Can you source Finnish Lakeland ingredients specifically?

Where quality and lead time allow, yes. Freshwater fish, local rye, forest berries, and dairy from the Karelian region can all feature in a bespoke menu. Discuss your preferences when you brief your contact and we will confirm availability for your departure date.

Kitee private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenFinland

To start

Karelian Pasty with Egg Butter

Thin rye-crust shells filled with seasoned rice porridge, served at cabin temperature alongside a classic egg-and-butter finish. A direct expression of the region's oldest baking tradition.

Cold main

Cold-Cured Pike-Perch, Dill Cream and Rye Crisp

Locally sourced pike-perch lightly cured with salt and sugar, sliced thin and plated with whipped dill cream and a crisp rye wafer. Clean, precise, and unmistakably Finnish Lakeland.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Beef with Root Vegetable Purée

Beef braised for several hours with dark stock, juniper, and bay, finished with a smooth purée of celeriac and parsnip. A Karelian-inflected preparation that travels exceptionally well.

Morning

Open Rye with Smoked Whitefish and Soft Cheese

Dense Finnish rye bread topped with cold-smoked whitefish, a quenelle of whipped soft cheese, and thinly sliced cucumber. Calibrated for early departures when something savoury and sustaining is required.

Pâtisserie

Cardamom Bun

A softly enriched dough scented with green cardamom, baked to a pale gold. Finland's answer to the cinnamon roll, and considerably more elegant in a cabin setting.

To finish

Cloudberry Mousse with Almond Tuile

A light mousse made from cloudberries gathered during the Finnish summer, set in a small portion and paired with a thin almond tuile. Seasonal availability applies; your contact will confirm at the time of order.

Inflight Catering · Kitee

Private jet catering in Kitee

Kitee sits in the heart of Finnish Lakeland, a landscape defined by conifer forests, clear glacial lakes, and a food culture rooted in Karelian tradition. The regional pantry runs deep: cold-smoked vendace and pike-perch from local waters, dark rye baked in wood-fired ovens, and forest berries — lingonberry, cloudberry, bilberry — gathered through the brief, luminous summer. These are ingredients with genuine provenance, and we source them accordingly. The nearest significant aviation hubs lie roughly 60 kilometres west at Joensuu and a similar distance north-east at Savonlinna, with Kuopio some 150 kilometres further. That geography shapes our logistics: we coordinate delivery routes and lead times carefully so that freshness is never compromised by distance. Where local suppliers can meet our quality threshold, we use them; where specialist items require longer supply chains, we are transparent about the timeline required.

Regional Catering Menu · Kitee

Fresh catering for Kitee flights

Karelian cuisine is one of Finland's most distinctive regional traditions — braised meats cooked low and slow, root vegetables preserved through cold winters, and the iconic Karelian pasty: a rye-crust shell filled with rice porridge or mashed potato, finished with egg butter. These preparations translate naturally to inflight catering. They hold temperature well, plate cleanly, and carry a sense of place that generic airline fare cannot replicate. Beyond tradition, the lakes surrounding Kitee offer some of Scandinavia's finest freshwater fish. Lightly cured pike-perch, cold-smoked whitefish, and roe from Lake Saimaa's tributary system can all feature in an aircraft catering order when lead times allow proper sourcing. For morning departures, we prepare Finnish-style open rye with smoked fish and soft cheese, alongside freshly baked cardamom buns — the kind of detail that makes a 6 a.m. departure feel considered rather than merely functional.
