Which handler should I specify for delivery?

Cootamundra does not have a named FBO arrangement with us at present, so we deliver to whichever handling agent or operator has your aircraft. Simply confirm the ramp contact when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you source fresh local produce for a flight departing Cootamundra?

Yes. The region around Cootamundra — including the Young stone-fruit district roughly 45 kilometres away — gives us reliable access to seasonal, high-quality ingredients. What is available depends on the time of year, and we will advise you honestly when placing your order.

What is the lead time for a standard catering order?

For most orders, 12 hours is comfortable and allows us to source and prepare properly. Shorter notice is handled on a best-efforts basis. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours to guarantee certified supply.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger meals?

Yes. Crew meals are prepared, packaged and labelled distinctly from the passenger cabin order. We treat them as a separate line on every manifest so there is no confusion on the ramp or in the galley.

Is Cootamundra suitable for wide-body or heavy aircraft catering?

The primary paved runway at Cootamundra is 1,427 metres, which is suited to turboprops and light to mid-size jets. For larger aircraft types, your crew and handling agent will determine operational suitability; our catering logistics scale to whatever aircraft is on stand.

Can you service a flight that continues to Canberra or another nearby airport?

Absolutely. If your itinerary moves through Cootamundra and then continues to Canberra or another point, we can coordinate catering for each leg independently or as a single consolidated order — whichever suits your schedule.

The chef's menu at CMD

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAustralia

Hot main

Riverina Lamb Cutlets with Herb Crumb

Trimmed lamb cutlets from properties in the Riverina tablelands, finished with a parsley and lemon crumb and a side of roasted root vegetables. Portioned and sealed for easy cabin service.

Morning

Stone-Fruit and Honey Bircher

Overnight oats set with local raw honey and topped with seasonal stone fruit sourced from the Young district when in season. A quiet, sustaining way to begin an early departure.

Morning

Soft-Set Eggs with Slow-Roasted Tomato

Free-range eggs cooked to a gentle set, paired with slow-roasted vine tomatoes and sourdough from a Canberra-region bakery. Warm, compact and ready to serve without additional preparation.

Cold main

Smoked Trout and Fennel Tartine

Cold-smoked trout on rye sourdough with shaved fennel, crème fraîche and a few capers. Clean flavours that hold well at altitude without any loss of texture.

Pâtisserie

Almond and Apricot Financier

Small-batch financiers made with dried Riverina apricot and ground almond. Moist enough to last the flight, refined enough to sit alongside a good glass of something sparkling.

To finish

Aged Cheddar and Quince Plate

A composed finish plate of well-aged Australian cheddar, house-set quince paste and seeded crackers. Simple, regional and genuinely satisfying as a final course.

Inflight Catering · Cootamundra

Cootamundra private jet catering

Cootamundra sits in the heart of the Riverina-adjacent tablelands, a working agricultural district where lamb, stone fruit and wheat have shaped the local larder for generations. At 1,110 feet above sea level, the air is clean and the produce that reaches us from the surrounding countryside reflects a landscape that takes its seasons seriously. The towns within reach — Young to the north-east, Temora to the south-west, and Canberra within two hours — give our sourcing team genuine options. Cherry season out of Young is not a marketing point; it is a timetable we actually follow, and it feeds directly into what we place aboard your aircraft.

Regional Catering Menu · Cootamundra

Inflight catering menu for Cootamundra

Regional New South Wales rewards a kitchen that pays attention. Riverina lamb appears on our Cootamundra menus in braises and as trimmed cutlets, sourced from properties whose names we know. Alongside it: stone-fruit conserves, raw-honey pairings from small apiaries, and grains milled close enough to arrive the same day they are ordered. For morning departures we favour warm, compact formats — think soft-set eggs with slow-roasted tomato, or house-baked goods that travel without losing their texture. Every order is packed galley-ready, portioned and labelled so that crew can serve without additional preparation. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum of 24 hours' notice.
