Which handler will you deliver to at KARA?

We do not hold a fixed account with a single FBO at New Iberia Regional. Simply tell us which handler is managing your aircraft and we will coordinate delivery directly with that team, confirming a handover time that works around your departure schedule.

Can you source ingredients locally for a New Iberia departure?

Yes. Lafayette is roughly twenty-one kilometres from the airport, putting regional producers, seafood suppliers and Acadiana-specific provisions well within reach. For orders placed with sufficient lead time, we prioritise fresh local sourcing over generic supply-chain alternatives.

Do you cater crew meals as well as passenger cabins?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order we handle. They are prepared separately from passenger provisions, clearly labelled and packaged to suit galley storage — so your crew can focus on the operation rather than managing their own food.

Is kosher catering available at New Iberia?

Kosher meals can be arranged for KARA departures. We require a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice to source certified provisions and maintain the required chain of custody. Please flag this requirement when you first contact us.

Can you handle dietary requirements such as vegan, halal or low-sodium?

All of these are accommodated as standard. Provide your dietary requirements when placing the order and our kitchen will build every course accordingly — no surcharge and no reduction in presentation quality.

Do you service other airports near New Iberia?

Our network covers the surrounding region, including Lafayette, Baton Rouge and beyond. If your routing involves a multi-leg itinerary touching several Louisiana airports, a single point of contact manages catering across every stop.

The chef's menu at ARA

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

To start

Gulf Shrimp Remoulade

Chilled Louisiana Gulf shrimp, house-made Creole remoulade, shaved celery and a light pickle of red onion. Served on a bed of butter lettuce with crushed cracklin' for texture.

To start

Blue Crab and Corn Bisque

A rich, dark-roux bisque built on local blue crab and sweet field corn, finished with a small pour of cane syrup cream. Portion-sealed and supplied hot-hold ready for cabin service.

Hot main

Crawfish Étouffée with Steamed Louisiana Rice

Slow-cooked crawfish tails in a butter and trinity sauce, served over long-grain rice grown in the Acadiana region. A textbook representation of the local table, adapted for galley reheating without loss of texture.

Hot main

Smoked Andouille and Chicken Jambalaya

Dark, smoky and properly seasoned — andouille from a regional smokehouse, pulled chicken, and the trinity cooked down into the rice. Holds well in transit and improves slightly on a gentle reheat.

Cold main

Chilled Gulf Oysters with Mignonette and Tabasco Granita

A half-dozen freshly shucked Gulf oysters on crushed ice, accompanied by a classic shallot mignonette and a small spoon of Tabasco granita made in-house. Delivered in an insulated tray for planeside service.

To finish

Praline Bread Pudding

A classic south Louisiana bread pudding enriched with local pecan praline and finished with a whiskey-cane syrup sauce. Portioned individually and supplied with the sauce sealed separately for cabin presentation.

Inflight Catering · New Iberia

New Iberia private jet catering

New Iberia sits at the heart of the Teche Country, a stretch of south Louisiana defined by sugarcane fields, crawfish ponds and the slow current of Bayou Teche itself. The surrounding larder is exceptional: fresh Gulf seafood, andouille from family smokehouses, local cane syrup and some of the finest rice grown anywhere in North America. Lafayette is just over twenty kilometres away, close enough for our sourcing team to reach its markets and purveyors well within the hour. This is a region where food carries genuine cultural weight — Cajun cooking is not a theme but a living tradition, and we engage with it accordingly. Our chefs draw on local producers rather than resort to generic inflight fare, so a tray built for a New Iberia departure will read as distinctly Louisianan from the first course to the last.

Regional Catering Menu · New Iberia

Inflight catering menu for New Iberia

The Gulf Coast position makes shellfish an obvious strength: blue crab, Gulf shrimp and oysters move through the regional supply chain with a freshness that holds across a full galley presentation. Étouffée, bisque and chilled crudo preparations all translate well to cabin service, and we build them to travel without compromise — portion-sealed, correctly chilled and plated to the galley specifications your crew provides. Beyond seafood, the Acadiana pantry offers slow-smoked meats, boudin, pralines and the kind of dark, roux-based dishes that reward a long flight. For dietary requirements — kosher, halal, vegan or low-sodium — our kitchen accommodates with the same attention to craft. Kosher orders require a minimum of twenty-four hours' lead time; all other requests are confirmed within ten minutes of enquiry.
