Which FBOs at KDSM do you deliver to?

We deliver to Signature Aviation and Modern Aviation. Tell us where your aircraft is positioned and we coordinate the handover directly with the relevant handler, so you have nothing additional to arrange on the ground.

Can you source local Iowa produce for our flight?

Yes. Des Moines is surrounded by some of the Midwest's most productive agricultural land, and we work with suppliers in and around the region to incorporate seasonal ingredients — heritage pork, artisan dairy, sweet corn during its season — into your order.

Do you cater crew meals separately from the cabin order?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared, packaged, and labelled distinctly from cabin catering. We treat them as a core part of every order rather than an afterthought, with straightforward, substantial options suited to operational schedules.

Can you arrange Kosher meals for a departure from DSM?

Yes, though Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours' lead time to ensure proper sourcing and certification. Please advise us at the earliest opportunity and we will confirm availability and full details.

We operate multi-leg itineraries. Can you provision beyond Des Moines?

Our worldwide network means we can coordinate inflight catering at subsequent destinations from the same point of contact. Brief us on your full routing and we handle provisioning at each stop, maintaining consistency across legs.

How is delivery timed to protect food quality?

Delivery windows are aligned to your confirmed departure schedule. Hot dishes, chilled plates, and ambient items are packaged separately and transported to maintain the correct temperature for each, arriving galley-ready with no further preparation required aboard.

Des Moines private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

Cold main

Iowa Heritage Pork Loin

Chilled sliced loin from a local heritage breed, accompanied by a grain-mustard and wildflower honey dressing and a celery-root remoulade. Clean, confident flavours suited to a long cruise.

Hot main

Braised Heritage Shoulder with Cider Reduction

Slow-braised pork shoulder finished with an apple cider reduction, served alongside roasted root vegetables sourced from farms in the Des Moines region. Rich and deeply satisfying at altitude.

To start

Sweet Corn Chowder

A composed chowder built on Iowa sweet corn at the height of its season, with smoked bacon, crème fraîche, and chives. Available as a starter or a light main depending on portion.

To finish

Artisan Iowa Cheese Selection

A curated board of locally produced aged cheddar, washed-rind rounds, and fresh curds, accompanied by house-made preserves, toasted rye crackers, and walnut bread.

Morning

Cultured Butter and Grain Breakfast Board

Hand-crafted cultured butter, local honey, soft-boiled eggs, sliced charcuterie, and a selection of pastries — a relaxed, unhurried morning spread for early departures from KDSM.

Pâtisserie

Brown Butter Tart with Poached Pear

A short-pastry tart filled with a brown butter and almond cream, finished with a half of poached Midwest pear and a dusting of icing sugar. Elegant, well-balanced, travels without compromise.

Inflight Catering · Des Moines

Private jet catering in Des Moines

Des Moines sits at the agricultural heart of the American Midwest, and that geography translates directly into what we place aboard your aircraft. Iowa's farms supply some of the continent's finest sweet corn, heritage pork, and artisan dairy — ingredients we source from producers within a short radius of KDSM and build into menus that speak honestly of the region. The city itself has developed a dining culture well beyond what many expect of the interior plains. A generation of chefs has shaped a confident local food identity around whole-animal butchery, craft cheesemaking, and small-batch grain production. We draw on those same networks to ensure that what reaches your galley is fresh, traceable, and genuinely of this place.

Regional Catering Menu · Des Moines

Fresh catering for Des Moines flights

Iowa's pork heritage is unmatched in the United States, and it anchors several of our most requested Des Moines departures — from slow-braised heritage shoulder finished with a cider reduction to chilled sliced loin accompanied by a grain-mustard and honey dressing. Alongside it, the state's sweet-corn season produces kernels of uncommon sweetness that we incorporate into chowders, relishes, and accompaniments during the summer and early-autumn months. Des Moines private jet catering from Altitude Dining also leans into the region's artisan dairy: locally produced aged cheddars, fresh curds, and hand-crafted cultured butters form the backbone of our cheese selections and breakfast preparations. Every menu is assembled to reflect the season and confirmed produce availability, so no two orders are identical — and every one is galley-ready on delivery.
