Which handler will receive the delivery at KLCH?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft on the day. Confirm your handling agent when you place the order and we coordinate directly with them to ensure a clean, timely galley-ready hand-off.

Can you source local Louisiana ingredients for my flight?

Yes. Gulf shrimp, blue crab, andouille, boudin, and other regional staples are part of our active sourcing network in southwest Louisiana and the broader Acadiana corridor. Availability is confirmed at the time of ordering.

Are kosher meals available at Lake Charles?

Kosher catering is available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Meals are prepared by certified suppliers and delivered sealed with full documentation. Please specify at the point of ordering so we can confirm supply.

What notice period do you recommend for a full crew and passenger order?

We ask for a minimum of four hours for standard orders and recommend 12–24 hours for complex menus, large party sizes, or specialist dietary requirements. The earlier the brief, the more sourcing options we can offer.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged and labelled distinctly from cabin service, with practical portioning suited to galley access and operational schedules. They can be ordered alongside or independently of the passenger menu.

Can Altitude Dining handle catering if my route continues beyond Lake Charles to another region?

Our worldwide network means we can coordinate catering at your next stop simultaneously. Your single point of contact manages both legs, ensuring consistent standards and no gap in provisioning.

Inflight Catering · Lake Charles

Private aviation catering at LCH

Southwest Louisiana has one of the most distinctive food cultures in North America — built on French Acadian tradition, Gulf seafood, and a cast-iron confidence with spice. Lake Charles catering done properly means drawing on that living larder: andouille from the boudin trail, blue crab hauled from the Calcasieu Lake estuary, and cornmeal-dusted catfish that needs no elaboration. Our sourcing team works with regional suppliers so that what boards your aircraft genuinely reflects where it was prepared. The city sits within comfortable reach of the broader Acadiana corridor, meaning produce, charcuterie, and patisserie from Lafayette's celebrated food scene are equally within our supply chain's range. Every order is assembled galley-ready, portioned, labelled, and chilled to specification — so the moment the cabin door closes, service can begin without hesitation.

Regional Catering Menu · Lake Charles

Lake Charles inflight catering

Louisiana's Gulf Coast is the defining influence on every menu we build for LCH departures. Shellfish is the centrepiece: Gulf shrimp in a cold rémoulade, blue crab claws with a Creole mustard dipping sauce, or oysters from the Calcasieu Pass set on crushed ice and presented in a format that travels without compromise. For warmer options, a dark, slow-built gumbo or a properly rested beef grillades over stone-ground grits reflects the kind of cooking this region has refined over generations. We are equally fluent in the lighter registers that long-range passengers often prefer — herb-poached Gulf fish with a shaved fennel salad, or a structured charcuterie board anchored by smoked duck and house-cured tasso. Dietary requirements, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and halal, are accommodated as standard. Kosher menus are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice and are sourced through our certified supply partners.
