Which FBOs and handlers at AVV can you deliver to?

We deliver planeside to Universal Aviation and can coordinate with any other handler holding your aircraft at AVV — no prior account or pre-registration required on your end. Note your handler and stand in the request and we manage the ramp logistics from there.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at AVV?

Yes — same-day orders are routine at Avalon. AVV's lighter traffic means ramp access is generally reliable even on short lead times. Send your request as early as possible for the fullest menu options, but contact us regardless of the window and we will confirm what is achievable within 10 minutes.

How are crew meals handled at Geelong/Melbourne Avalon?

Crew meals at AVV are priced for operators and built for working rotations: balanced, properly portioned, galley-packed separately from the passenger order. They go on the same delivery, the same invoice, and the same coordinator handles any changes up to the confirmed delivery window.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan and allergy requirements at AVV?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options are available on every menu for AVV departures. Kosher orders require 24 hours' lead time minimum. Note all dietary requirements in your request — per passenger or per crew member — and we confirm specifics before finalising the order.

How do I place a catering order for an AVV departure?

Send your request — airport, departure date and time, passenger and crew count, any dietary requirements, and your preferred menu style — through the order form or directly to your coordinator. We confirm within 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. If your departure details change after confirmation, contact your coordinator directly; we adjust where lead time allows.

What does private jet catering at AVV cost?

Pricing at Avalon is per order and depends on passenger count, menu selection, service style, and delivery timing. We don't publish a rate card because a light crew-meal order and a twelve-seat formal service have little in common. Send your details and we'll return a quote within 10 minutes.

Geelong/Melbourne · Australia · ICAO YMAV

AVV sits at the quieter end of the Melbourne corridor — less congestion than Tullamarine, faster ramp turns, and a general-aviation apron that rewards operators who plan ahead. We deliver restaurant-grade inflight catering to Universal Aviation and every handler on the field, confirmed within 10 minutes of your request, around the clock. Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula put some of Victoria's best produce within reach of your departure window.

The chef's menu at AVV

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAustralia

Morning

Bellarine sourdough with cultured butter and Otway honey

Peninsula-baked loaf, local pasture butter, cold-extracted wildflower honey from the Otway hinterland — clean and unfussy for an early departure.

To start

Meredith Dairy goat's cheese, Goulburn Valley stone fruit, Yarra Valley walnuts

Composed board; soft cheese, seasonal nectarine or plum, candied walnuts — travels well, visually considered, no heating required.

Cold main

Queenscliff King George whiting, fennel, Bellarine crème fraîche

Pan-finished whiting served chilled, shaved fennel, crème fraîche from a Bellarine Peninsula creamery — a distinctly Victorian plate.

Hot main

Otway pasture-fed beef fillet, celeriac purée, jus

Free-range beef from the Otways, celeriac prepared to a smooth purée, clean reduction — galley-ready, holds temperature through service.

Pâtisserie

Almond croissant with Bellarine crème pâtissière

Laminated pastry finished with toasted flaked almonds and a crème pâtissière made with Bellarine Peninsula dairy — suited to any departure hour.

To finish

Aged Bellarine Creamery washed-rind, quince paste, seeded crackers

A single strong local cheese served at room temperature with quince and crackers — closes a meal without a formal dessert.

Inflight Catering · Geelong/Melbourne

Geelong private jet catering

Victoria's southwest is serious food country. The Bellarine Peninsula produces cool-climate pinot noir and chardonnay grapes alongside some of the state's best artisan cheesemakers — Bellarine Creamery's washed-rind styles among them — and the bay fisheries at Queenscliff land flathead and King George whiting that reach Melbourne's best restaurant kitchens the same morning. That proximity matters when catering loads at YMAV: fresh produce boards close to wheels-up, not after a long cold-chain. Geelong's food scene has matured well beyond its manufacturing-city past. The CBD's Pakington Street precinct and the Bellarine's cellar-door restaurants have built genuine provenance culture — named farms, seasonal menus, direct supplier relationships. We source through those same networks, so the food on board from AVV reflects where the aircraft is actually departing from.

Regional Catering Menu · Geelong/Melbourne

Inflight catering menu for Geelong

King George whiting — lightly pan-finished, served cold with a fennel and Bellarine crème fraîche — travels cleanly in a business-aviation galley and holds well across a domestic hop to Sydney or a positioning leg. Local pasture-fed beef from the Otway Ranges works equally well as a chilled main or a warm galley option on wide-body-configured charters. For lighter services, Meredith Dairy goat's cheese with Yarra Valley walnuts and seasonal stone fruit from the Goulburn Valley composes into a cabin-friendly board that reads as distinctly Victorian, not generically Australian.
