Which handler do you deliver to at KAO?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Simply provide the handling agent's details when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them for a smooth planeside handover.

Can you cater for early morning winter departures?

Yes. We operate 24 hours a day throughout the year, including the deep winter season when Kuusamo sees significant private aviation traffic. Morning boards, hot breakfasts, and thermos flasks of coffee or soup are all available regardless of departure time.

Do you accommodate dietary requirements?

We cater for a full range of dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Kosher catering is available with a confirmed 24-hour lead time. Please specify all requirements at the point of ordering.

Is high-loader equipment available at KAO?

KAO's runway and infrastructure are suited to mid-size aircraft, and galley-ready delivery is standard for all orders. For specific wide-body or high-loader requirements, please raise this at the time of enquiry so we can confirm with the handling agent in advance.

How quickly will you respond to an enquiry?

We reply to all catering enquiries within ten minutes. A single point of contact manages your order from initial brief through to delivery, keeping communication straightforward however tight your schedule.

Can you source genuinely local Lapland produce rather than generic stock?

Yes, and it is one of the primary reasons to plan ahead. Given sufficient lead time, we source reindeer, freshwater fish, cloudberries, lingonberries, and foraged mushrooms from producers in and around the Kuusamo region — ingredients that reflect where your guests have actually been.

Inflight Catering · Kuusamo

Private jet catering in Kuusamo

This corner of northern Finland draws guests who know what genuine remoteness feels like. The Kuusamo plateau and Oulanka National Park define the landscape, and the food culture that has grown around it reflects the same directness — reindeer, freshwater fish, cloudberries, and foraged mushrooms gathered within a short radius of the airfield. We work with suppliers embedded in that supply chain, so what arrives at your aircraft is genuinely of this place rather than flown in from somewhere warmer. Kuusamo is a seasonal destination that peaks in winter, when cross-country skiers, fell walkers, and aurora chasers arrive through KAO. Its isolation is part of the appeal, and provisioning here rewards careful planning. Orders placed with adequate lead time allow us to source from local producers rather than fall back on central depot stock — a distinction that is immediately apparent on the plate.

Regional Catering Menu · Kuusamo

Fresh catering for Kuusamo flights

Arctic ingredients anchor every menu we build for Kuusamo departures. Cold-smoked whitefish from the local lake system, thinly sliced and laid over dark rye with crème fraîche and dill, travels beautifully in a chilled galley box. Reindeer — braised, cold-cut, or as a fine tartare — is sourced from herds that graze the fells north and west of town, and it carries a depth of flavour that farmed protein rarely approaches. Wild cloudberry compote and lingonberry preserve appear as both condiment and dessert element, lending each menu a signature the region earns honestly. For morning departures, we prepare Scandinavian breakfast boards built around cultured dairy, smoked fish, seed breads, and preserved fruit — fuel for guests who have spent a night under the northern sky. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time. All catering is assembled galley-ready, labelled by course, and delivered to whichever handler holds your aircraft at the time of service.
