Which handler do you deliver through at ORF?

We currently deliver through Signature Aviation at Norfolk International. If your aircraft moves to a different stand or handling arrangement, notify us and we will coordinate access accordingly.

Can you source local Chesapeake seafood for a same-day order?

For blue crab, oysters, and locally landed fish we recommend ordering by mid-morning for an afternoon or evening departure. This gives our sourcing team time to confirm availability from the day's catch and prepare dishes to the required cold-chain standard.

Do you provide kosher meals at Norfolk?

Yes. Sealed, certified kosher meals are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Please specify the certification standard required when placing your order.

Can you cater a multi-leg itinerary that includes Newport News or Richmond?

Yes. Our network covers Newport News and Richmond among other regional airports. Multi-leg orders are managed through the same single point of contact and coordinated across legs in a single brief.

What is the latest I can amend an order before departure?

We accommodate amendments as late as operationally practical depending on the complexity of the change. Contact your point of contact directly; for hot dishes requiring preparation time, earlier notice always produces better results.

Do you cater crew meals separately from the passenger cabin?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared, labelled, and packed separately from passenger service items. They are designed to be practical and sustaining — composed with the same ingredient standards but configured for ease of consumption in a working environment.

Private jet catering menu for Norfolk

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

To start

Chesapeake Soft-Shell Crab

Seasonal soft-shell crab lightly dredged and pan-finished, served cold with a shaved fennel slaw, Old Bay aioli, and a wedge of preserved lemon. Packed in a chilled presentation box, galley-ready.

To start

Six freshly shucked Virginia oysters nestled on crushed ice with a classic red-wine mignonette and a back-up of horseradish cream. Sourced to order and prepared for same-day departure.

Cold main

Chilled Poached Flounder

Locally landed flounder, gently poached and chilled, presented over a cucumber and dill vinaigrette with caperberries and a small pot of herb mayonnaise. Clean, light, and suited to long legs.

Morning

Stone-Ground Grits with Smithfield Ham

Creamy Virginia grits made from locally milled stone-ground corn, topped with shaved Smithfield ham, a soft-cooked egg, and chive butter. A morning staple that reflects the region without apology.

Inflight Catering · Norfolk

Inflight catering in Norfolk

Norfolk sits at the heart of coastal Virginia, where the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic converge to produce some of the eastern seaboard's most distinctive ingredients. Blue crab, oysters from the James River tributaries, and locally landed flounder are available to our kitchen team within the hour, giving every Norfolk inflight catering order an honest sense of place rather than generic galley fare. The broader Hampton Roads region has a culinary character shaped equally by its maritime heritage and its proximity to Virginia's agricultural interior. Smithfield hams cured just across the water, sweet Hanover tomatoes in season, and Virginia peanuts from the surrounding countryside all find their way into menus composed specifically for passengers departing KORF — ingredients that are particular to this geography and that travel exceptionally well at altitude.

Regional Catering Menu · Norfolk

Local sourcing for ORF

Our chefs lean into the bay's seasonal rhythms when building Norfolk menus. A soft-shell crab preparation in late spring, a chilled Chesapeake oyster course with mignonette for an evening departure, or a slow-braised short rib finished with Virginia bourbon reflect the kind of regional specificity that distinguishes a thoughtfully composed inflight meal from an afterthought. Each dish is portioned, chilled, and packed to galley-ready standards so that cabin crew can present it without adaptation. For morning and early-afternoon lifts, we draw on the region's gentler traditions: stone-ground grits from a small Virginia mill, housemade preserves using Eastern Shore fruit, and a selection of laminated pastries baked the same morning. Kosher requirements are accommodated with sealed, certified meals arranged on 24 hours' notice, and all dietary briefs — whether allergen-specific or preference-led — are confirmed in writing through your single point of contact before load.
