How much notice do you need for Reykjavík catering?

For most orders, a few hours is sufficient. Kosher menus require a minimum of 24 hours to source certified product. For complex or large-party briefs, 24 hours also gives us room to do the order justice.

Which handler do you deliver to at BIRK?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft on the day. Let us know the handling arrangement when you order and we coordinate the ramp delivery directly with them.

Can you cater onward legs from Reykjavík to other Icelandic destinations?

Yes. If your routing continues to Akureyri, Ísafjörður, Húsavík or elsewhere in Iceland, we can prepare sequential galley packs for each leg under a single order.

Do you use Icelandic produce, or is the menu international?

Both are available. We prioritise local Icelandic sourcing — Arctic char, langoustine, skyr, grass-fed lamb — where the product quality justifies it, and supplement with continental items when the brief calls for it.

How are meals packaged for a small galley?

Everything is delivered galley-ready, portioned per passenger and labelled by course. Packaging is chosen for the galley footprint of lighter aircraft typical at RKV, so nothing requires resizing or repackaging by the crew.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements such as vegan or gluten-free?

Yes — gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and vegetarian menus are accommodated as standard. Please note requirements at the time of ordering so we can confirm the full menu composition with you.

Inflight catering in Reykjavík

Reykjavík sits at the edge of the North Atlantic, a capital city of striking geological candour: lava fields give way to geothermal steam, and the sea is rarely more than a few minutes from wherever you stand. That proximity to cold, clean water shapes what Icelandic kitchens do best — and it shapes what we put on board your aircraft. From Reykjavík's harbour, day-boat catches arrive with a brevity of journey that most culinary capitals can only envy. Arctic char, langoustine from the Westfjords, skyr cultured in the old way — these are not imported flourishes but the natural vocabulary of the place. Our sourcing reflects that directness, and the galley-ready presentations we deliver to BIRK carry it forward at altitude.

Regional Catering Menu · Reykjavík

Local sourcing for RKV

Iceland's culinary identity is built on cold-water precision and a respect for fermentation, smoke and salt that predates any trend. We work with Reykjavík suppliers whose cold-chain discipline matches our own: lamb raised on Arctic grasses, wild-caught cod handled within hours of landing, and dairy produce with a richness the volcanic soil seems to encourage. Each item is portioned and packaged for galley efficiency without sacrificing the integrity of the ingredient. For passengers who prefer a continental reference point alongside Icelandic produce, our kitchen composes boards and hot courses that balance Nordic austerity with the warmth a long-haul departure demands. Dietary requirements — including gluten-free, dairy-free and plant-based menus — are accommodated as standard, and kosher orders are fulfilled with certified provenance given 24 hours' notice.
