Which handler will receive the delivery at DEC?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the day. When you place your order, simply confirm the handling company and we coordinate directly with them — no additional steps required from the flight department.

Can you source local Illinois produce for a flight departing Decatur?

Yes. Central Illinois producers supply seasonal ingredients — heritage pork, fresh dairy, field vegetables — that our team can incorporate into bespoke menus. Lead time of 24 to 48 hours is recommended when local sourcing is a priority.

Do you cater for crew as well as passengers?

Crew meals are included as standard within every order. They are packaged separately, clearly labelled, and ready to be stowed without disrupting the passenger galley.

Is kosher catering available at this airport?

Certified kosher meals can be arranged, but require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to guarantee proper certification and seal integrity. Please indicate this requirement at the time of first contact.

Can a single order cover multiple airports on the same Illinois itinerary?

Yes. If your trip continues to Savoy, Springfield, Bloomington, or another airport in the region, we manage the full multi-leg catering plan under one account. Adjustments at any stop are handled by the same contact.

What is the earliest a same-day order can realistically be fulfilled?

For standard menus, a minimum of three to four hours from confirmation to galley-ready delivery is our working guideline at Decatur. Shorter windows may be possible for simpler orders — contact us directly and we will give an honest assessment.

Inflight catering menu for Decatur

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

To start

Macon County Heritage Pork Rillette

Slow-rendered pork from a local Macon County producer, pressed with thyme and juniper, served with grain mustard and toasted sourdough rounds. A straightforward expression of central Illinois charcuterie.

To start

Illinois Sweet Corn Velouté

A chilled, silky velouté made from peak-season field corn, finished with crème fraîche and a scattering of chive oil. Clean, seasonal and distinctly of this landscape.

Cold main

Prairie Chicken Salad with Buttermilk Dressing

Poached free-range chicken, sliced thin over bitter greens, radish and toasted pumpkin seeds, dressed with a sharp buttermilk and cider vinegar emulsion. Travels exceptionally well in a galley environment.

Hot main

Braised Short Rib with Root Vegetable Purée

Twelve-hour braised beef short rib, rich with reduced cooking juices, plated over a smooth celeriac and potato purée with wilted greens. Substantial enough for longer sectors, refined enough for any cabin.

Morning

Buckwheat Crêpes with Smoked Cheddar and Leek

Tender buckwheat crêpes folded around a filling of aged central Illinois cheddar and softened leek, finished under heat and served with a small pot of crème fraîche. A versatile morning or light-meal option.

Pâtisserie

Brown Butter Financier with Sour Cherry Compote

Almond financiers baked in the classic French style, enriched with beurre noisette, accompanied by a tart sour cherry compote. A composed finish that requires no additional plating.

Inflight catering for Decatur flights

Decatur sits at the agricultural heart of central Illinois, a landscape defined by some of the most productive farmland in North America. That proximity means seasonal corn, soybean-fed pork, and small-batch dairy from surrounding Macon County producers can move from farm to galley with genuine speed — no long supply chains, no compromise on freshness. The wider region adds further depth. Springfield lies within easy reach to the south-west, carrying its own tradition of central Illinois cuisine, while Bloomington and Normal to the north bring a quietly serious food culture built around local growers and independent artisans. Our sourcing team draws on all of it, composing menus that taste specifically of this part of the Midwest rather than anywhere in general.

Regional Catering Menu · Decatur

Decatur private jet catering

Central Illinois rewards anyone willing to look past its unassuming reputation. Prairie-raised heritage pork, aged cheddars from small creameries, and field-grown sweet corn at its peak are staples our chefs work with rather than around. Dishes built on these ingredients carry an honesty that passengers notice without necessarily being able to name. For more international requirements — Japanese-inspired cold plates, classical French galley boxes, or certified kosher meals (which require a minimum of 24 hours' notice) — our kitchen network accommodates without fuss. A single point of contact handles the full order, from amuse-bouche to crew meals, so nothing is lost between departments.
