Do you cater for FIFO crew rotations as well as private jet passengers?

Yes. Crew meals for large rotational workforces and bespoke inflight catering for executive charters are handled through the same 24/7 operation. Pack formats, portion counts and dietary requirements differ; the service standard does not.

Which handler or FBO do you deliver through at KTA?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Provide the handling agent's details when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them to ensure galley-ready delivery at your requested time.

Can you cover catering for other airstrips in the Pilbara region?

Our network reaches the surrounding resource and island destinations across the region. A single order placed through our Karratha contact can coordinate catering across multiple legs without requiring separate arrangements at each location.

Is kosher catering available at Karratha?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' lead time. Please specify this requirement clearly at the time of booking so our procurement team can source certified product through the appropriate supply chain.

How do you handle the Pilbara heat when delivering to the apron?

All deliveries are temperature-controlled to the point of handover. Cold dishes are packed in insulated galley containers; hot meals are dispatched in timed sequence so they arrive within the correct service window rather than sitting in ambient conditions.

What notice do you need for a same-day order?

We operate around the clock and can accommodate same-day requests for most menus. More complex requirements — including large crew rotations, multi-course private dining, or specialist dietary needs — benefit from as much advance notice as your schedule allows.

The chef's menu at KTA

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAustralia

To start

Dampier Reef Fish Ceviche

Locally landed coral trout cured briefly in citrus, with thinly sliced radish, cucumber water and a finish of native finger lime pearls. Clean, light and engineered to hold condition in a chilled galley box.

Cold main

Seared Spanish Mackerel, Mango & Herb Salad

A thick mackerel fillet, seared to order and set cold over a salad of green mango, coriander, shallot and toasted sesame. A dish that reflects the coastal Pilbara larder without apology.

Hot main

Pilbara Station Lamb Shoulder

Slow-braised bone-in shoulder from a North West station, finished with a cumin and native pepper jus and paired with roasted root vegetables. Substantial enough for a crew meal; considered enough for a principal.

Morning

Karratha Sunrise Breakfast Box

Free-range eggs baked in a cast-iron ramekin with slow-roasted tomato and bush-spiced baked beans, packed alongside sourdough toast, Pilbara honey and seasonal fruit. Built for early rotational departures.

Pâtisserie

Salted Butter Croissant with Davidson Plum Jam

A laminated croissant baked to a deep amber, served alongside a house-made conserve of Davidson plum — tart, deeply coloured and native to the Australian north. Minimal intervention; excellent ingredient.

To finish

Dark Chocolate & Wattleseed Pot

A set ganache of 70 per cent Peruvian dark chocolate infused with roasted wattleseed, topped with a thin layer of salted caramel. Served chilled in a sealed glass jar, stable at cabin altitude.

Inflight Catering · Karratha

Karratha private jet catering

Karratha sits at the operational heart of Western Australia's resource corridor, where executive charters, fly-in fly-out rotations and corporate shuttles move continuously between the coast and the inland mines. The rhythm here is purposeful, and catering that matches that pace is not a convenience — it is a necessity. The Pilbara landscape informs what we put on the plate. Locally landed Spanish mackerel and coral trout appear regularly on our Karratha menus, alongside the premium beef raised on the vast stations of the broader North West. When a producer is within striking distance of the tarmac, freshness follows as a matter of course.

Regional Catering Menu · Karratha

Inflight catering menu for Karratha

Our kitchen team draws on the produce networks of the Pilbara and the broader Kimberley fringe — reef fish sourced through Dampier's commercial fleet, tropical fruits from the North West's irrigated growing regions, and station-reared lamb that needs little embellishment. Menus are calibrated for the heat: lighter proteins, bright citrus dressings, and cold dishes that hold condition during the short transit to the aircraft. For FIFO and resource-sector crews arriving after long shifts, we build substantial hot meals designed to restore rather than impress — slow-cooked meats, hearty grain salads, and proper breakfast boxes for early departures. Corporate principals travelling through KTA receive the same attentive sourcing in a more refined register, plated to galley specifications that suit a pressurised cabin at altitude.
