Which handler do you deliver to at KDCU?

We work handler-agnostic at Decatur, delivering to whichever FBO or handler is holding your aircraft. Simply provide the handler name and stand location when you place your order.

Can you source local north Alabama produce for a flight departing Decatur?

Yes. With Huntsville sixteen kilometres away and the broader Tennessee Valley agricultural supply chain accessible to our team, we can incorporate regional items — seasonal vegetables, local honey, smoked meats — into your menu with reasonable lead time.

Do you cater kosher meals at this airport?

Kosher catering is available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice, allowing us to source properly certified and sealed meals that meet halachic requirements.

Is aircraft catering available for very early departures or late-night arrivals?

Our service operates around the clock, every day of the year. There is no premium for unsociable hours — your crew simply confirms the delivery window and we work to it.

What if my aircraft continues to an international destination after departing Decatur?

Our worldwide network means we can pre-brief the catering team at your next port of call — whether in Europe, the Middle East, or Asia — through the same single point of contact handling your DCU departure.

How do I handle dietary requirements across a mixed passenger group?

Your contact at Altitude Dining builds a per-seat brief if needed, covering allergies, intolerances, and preference-based requirements — vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low-sodium — across the same order without additional coordination from your crew.

The chef's menu at DCU

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

Cold main

Tennessee Valley Smoked Chicken Plate

Hickory-smoked chicken thigh, rested and sliced, served alongside a white-sauce drizzle, pickled cucumber ribbons, and a wedge of skillet cornbread. A composed version of north Alabama's most distinctive barbecue tradition.

To start

Pulled Pork & Slaw Slider Trio

Slow-cooked pork shoulder, hand-pulled and lightly sauced, loaded into toasted brioche buns with a vinegar-dressed cabbage slaw. Portioned for easy cabin service with a side of bread-and-butter pickles.

Hot main

Butter Bean & Sweet Corn Bisque

A silky, lightly smoked bisque built from Tennessee Valley butter beans and fresh sweet corn, finished with crème fraîche and a scatter of chive. Served chilled or hot, depending on the galley setup.

To finish

Stone Fruit & Soft Cheese Board

Seasonal Alabama peaches and plums, sliced and arranged with a wedge of creamy brie, toasted pecans, and a small pot of local sorghum syrup. Best prepared in summer when stone fruit is at peak sweetness.

Morning

Conecuh Sausage Breakfast Wrap

Sliced Conecuh-style smoked sausage, scrambled egg, and sharp cheddar folded into a warm flour tortilla with a side of hot sauce. A morning staple from this corner of the South, made cabin-ready.

Pâtisserie

Pecan & Brown Butter Financier

A small, dense almond-and-pecan financier baked with brown butter and finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Individually wrapped for service, pairing well with coffee or a late-morning tea.

Inflight Catering · Decatur

Decatur private jet catering

Decatur sits on the southern bank of the Tennessee River, shaped by a legacy of manufacturing, river commerce, and the agricultural plains that surround it. That grounding in practical, honest produce carries through to what we source: catfish and freshwater traditions, field-grown sweet corn and tomatoes from the Tennessee Valley floor, and the slow-smoked barbecue culture that defines north Alabama's table. Huntsville lies sixteen kilometres to the east, close enough that its restaurants, specialty grocers, and artisan suppliers feed directly into our logistics. When a client requests something specific to this pocket of the Deep South — a slab of hickory-smoked pork collar, a jar of local sorghum, Conecuh-style sausage — we have the regional network to deliver it galley-ready.

Regional Catering Menu · Decatur

Inflight catering menu for Decatur

North Alabama is barbecue country with its own distinct grammar: white sauce, hickory smoke, and cuts that reward patience. We translate that tradition into cabin-appropriate formats — pulled pork sliders on brioche, smoked chicken with a tangy white-sauce drizzle, brisket carved to portion — without losing the character that makes the region's food worth celebrating. Alongside the smoke, the Tennessee Valley's growing season yields produce that benefits from a short journey to the aircraft: butter beans, field peas, vine tomatoes, and stone fruit in summer. For clients who prefer a lighter or more internationally oriented menu, our wider kitchen repertoire covers composed cold plates, sushi-grade proteins, and refined canapés that sit comfortably beside a glass of Blanc de Blancs at altitude. Dietary requirements — vegan, gluten-free, kosher with twenty-four hours' notice — are handled through the same single point of contact, with no drop in specification.
