What types of aircraft can you cater for at FOS?

Forrest's runway lengths are best suited to light jets and turboprops, and our catering loads are configured accordingly — compact, galley-ready packages designed for smaller aircraft. If your routing or aircraft type changes, notify us as early as possible so we can adjust quantities and packaging.

Do you cater crew meals for technical stops?

Yes. Crew meals are a standard part of our service at Forrest. We offer balanced, practical options — hot or cold depending on lead time — designed to sustain flight-deck performance on long trans-continental routes.

Can you accommodate Kosher or other specialist dietary requirements?

Kosher catering is available with a minimum 24-hour lead time to allow for certified preparation and correct packaging. Other dietary requirements — gluten-free, vegan, allergen-specific — can typically be accommodated with standard advance notice; please raise them when placing your order.

How much notice do you need for a Forrest uplift?

Because Forrest is one of Australia's most remote airstrips, more lead time is always better. We recommend a minimum of 24 hours for standard orders and at least 48 hours for complex or large uplifts. For operators who transit Forrest regularly, a standing brief reduces the notice required for each individual stop.

Which handler or FBO do you deliver to at YFRT?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Forrest, coordinating directly with your ground contact or crew. Simply confirm the handling arrangements when you place your order and we will route the delivery accordingly.

How quickly will someone respond to my catering enquiry?

A member of our team will respond to any new enquiry within ten minutes, around the clock. Your account manager remains your single point of contact from initial brief through to delivery confirmation.

Q: How do you deliver catering to such a remote location as Forrest?

We plan all Forrest uplifts through our network of southern and western Australian provisioning partners. Given the airport's isolation — the nearest significant towns are several hundred kilometres away — we require advance notice to route provisions correctly. Once a delivery plan is confirmed, a dedicated account manager tracks it through to galley-ready handover at YFRT.

Private jet menu for Forrest

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAustralia

Hot main

Wheatbelt Lamb Rump

Slow-roasted Western Australian lamb rump, portioned and vacuum-sealed for consistent reheating, served with a rosemary jus and a pressed root-vegetable terrine. A robust, travel-stable hot main well suited to the long Nullarbor transit.

Cold main

Southern Ocean Seafood Plate

Chilled selection of Pacific-caught prawns, smoked salmon, and dressed crab, sourced through our Adelaide provisioning partner and sealed at preparation. Served with a lemon-caper aioli and sourdough crackers.

Morning

Nullarbor Sunrise Board

A morning provision designed for early departures: free-range scrambled eggs in a sealed pot, grilled turkey rasher, roasted tomato, and a portion of sourdough toast wrapped to retain warmth. Clean, simple, sustaining.

To start

Aged Cheddar and Quince Tart

A short-crust pastry case filled with aged Australian cheddar custard and a layer of house quince paste, finished with candied walnuts. Portioned individually and chilled for easy service.

Pâtisserie

Almond and Honey Financier

Baked in small batches by our accredited Perth bakery partner, these brown-butter financiers are sealed individually to hold moisture through transit. A considered small sweet for post-meal service.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Wattleseed Ganache

A single-serve ganache made with 70% Ecuadorian couverture and a measured note of roasted wattleseed — a nod to the Australian interior. Set in a chilled portion cup, ready for cabin presentation.

Inflight Catering · Forrest

Private aviation catering at FOS

Forrest is one of Australia's most isolated airstrips — a fuel and rest stop carved into the flat limestone expanse of the Nullarbor, roughly equidistant from the Western Australian goldfields and the South Australian coast. There are no nearby cities, no urban supply chains, and no margin for error. Catering here is a purely logistical exercise, and it is one we have designed our operation around. Our network reaches outward from Forrest in every direction, drawing on provisioning hubs across southern and western Australia to assemble your order before it travels to YFRT. Because the nearest substantial centres — Ceduna to the east and Esperance to the south — lie the better part of 600 kilometres away, lead time and forward planning are the foundations of a successful uplift here. Contact us early and we will handle the rest.

Regional Catering Menu · Forrest

Forrest inflight catering

Remote staging does not mean reduced standards. Altitude Dining curates menus appropriate to the Australian interior: clean, considered dishes that travel without compromise — chilled seafood prepared and sealed at source, slow-roasted meats portioned and vacuum-packed for consistent reheating, and breakfast provisions that hold their integrity through a long positioning flight. Every item is assembled to your galley configuration and delivered ready to serve. Where lead time permits, we source regional Australian produce through our network — lamb from the Western Australian wheatbelt, Pacific-caught seafood handled through our Adelaide and Perth provisioning partners, and artisan breads from accredited bakeries. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time. For crew meals on technical stops at Forrest, we offer straightforward, nutritionally balanced options that keep flight-deck performance front of mind.
