Which handler or FBO should I specify for delivery at Kirkwall?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft at KOI. Simply confirm the handling agent when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them.

Can you source genuinely local Orcadian produce?

Yes. Orkney beef, hand-dived scallops, lobster, crab and locally made cheese are all within our sourcing reach. Availability follows seasonal and catch schedules, so early ordering gives the kitchen the best opportunity to secure specific items.

Is Kosher catering available at Kirkwall?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' lead time. Please specify this requirement at the point of enquiry so we can confirm certification and logistics.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Crew meals are a standard part of our service and are ordered and priced independently of the passenger menu. Both can be handled within the same order.

Can Altitude Dining support a multi-sector trip that includes Kirkwall?

Yes. Our worldwide network means we can coordinate inflight catering across all legs of a routing — including adjacent Scottish airports such as Inverness, Aberdeen or Wick — through the same single point of contact.

How far in advance should I order aircraft catering for a departure from KOI?

For standard menus, same-day orders are accommodated where timing allows. For bespoke menus featuring local Orcadian produce, or for Kosher catering, 24 hours' notice ensures the best outcome. For particularly complex requirements, 48 hours is advisable.

Inflight Catering · Kirkwall

Inflight catering in Kirkwall

Orkney is not incidental to its food; it is the food. The islands produce beef of rare distinction — Orkney Native Beef carries Protected Geographical Indication status — alongside hand-dived scallops, langoustines pulled from cold northern waters, and a soft, creamy cheese that reflects the richness of the grass on which the cattle graze. These are not decorative additions to a menu; they are its foundation. The surrounding sea defines the rhythm of supply here. Lobster, crab and wild salmon arrive through small-boat fisheries that have worked these waters for generations. Our sourcing network reaches into those same channels, bringing genuinely local produce onto your aircraft — a credible expression of place rather than a postcard version of it.

Regional Catering Menu · Kirkwall

Local sourcing for KOI

Altitude Dining's culinary team draws on Orcadian ingredients with the same precision applied to any European capital. Cold plates might centre on a dressed Orkney crab with dill crème fraîche and rye crisps; hot courses on slow-braised Orkney beef short rib with celeriac and a reduction of local ale. The brevity of the ingredient list is intentional — in this part of Scotland, restraint is its own form of confidence. Pâtisserie and morning catering follow the same logic. Bere bannocks — made from the ancient barley grain still cultivated on Orkney — sit alongside contemporary pastry work finished in our central kitchen. Kosher catering is available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, and all dietary requirements are handled through a single point of contact available around the clock.
