How much notice do you need for a Koolan Island uplift?

For standard menus, 24 hours is sufficient for most requests. Given the remote logistics, additional lead time is always beneficial. Kosher meals require a firm minimum of 24 hours to route certified provisions correctly.

Is there a named handler at KCI you work with?

No single handler is listed for Koolan Island. We deliver to whichever operation or ground party holds your aircraft — please advise us of the relevant contact when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them.

Can you supply crew meals as well as passenger catering?

Yes. Crew meals are a standard part of every order — balanced, easy to manage without galley complexity, and prepared alongside passenger food under the same quality controls.

What regional produce can you incorporate for a Koolan Island departure?

The Kimberley coast offers excellent wild-caught Barramundi, and Broome's hinterland supplies tropical fruit including mango, papaya and finger lime. We build these into menus wherever the order timeline allows fresh sourcing.

How quickly do you respond to a catering enquiry?

Our operations desk replies within ten minutes and is available around the clock, every day of the year.

Can you cater for dietary requirements at this location?

Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and most dietary preferences are accommodated as standard. Kosher requests require a 24-hour lead time to ensure certified preparation and packaging.

Private jet catering menu for Koolan Island

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAustralia

To start

Kimberley Barramundi Ceviche

Thinly sliced wild-caught Barramundi cured in finger lime juice, finished with thinly sliced red chilli, toasted coconut and fresh coriander. Served chilled in a galley-ready portion.

To start

Mango and Prawn Rice Paper Rolls

Poached tiger prawns with Broome-region mango, vermicelli, cucumber and mint, wrapped to order and accompanied by a nuoc cham dipping sauce. A nod to the Kimberley's Southeast Asian culinary lineage.

Hot main

Pan-Roasted Barramundi, Lemon Myrtle Beurre Blanc

Skin-on fillet of Kimberley Barramundi roasted to order, rested and packaged galley-ready with a lemon myrtle beurre blanc, steamed jasmine rice and wilted Asian greens.

Cold main

Chilled Prawn and Papaya Salad

Poached king prawns with shaved green papaya, toasted peanuts, shallots and a lime and fish-sauce dressing. Light enough for a short sector, substantial enough to satisfy on a longer flight.

To finish

Tropical Fruit Platter with Lime Crème

Segmented mango, papaya, dragon fruit and finger lime pearls arranged over a chilled lime-zested cream. Sourced from the Broome region and prepared the morning of departure.

Morning

Kimberley Sunrise Breakfast Box

Koolan Island is an iron-ore island in Yampi Sound, roughly 139 kilometres from Derby and 259 kilometres from Broome — two of the Kimberley's principal service points. Its remoteness is absolute: the surrounding sea, red laterite cliffs and dense tropical vegetation define a landscape that has no parallel on the Australian mainland. Sourcing here demands forward planning, and that planning is exactly what we do. Broome, the nearest city of scale, brings its own culinary character — pearl-lugger heritage, strong Southeast Asian influence and exceptional tropical produce. We draw on that regional larder when building menus for Koolan Island uplifts, coordinating supply chains through Derby and Broome to ensure freshness is never compromised by distance.

Regional Catering Menu · Koolan Island

Local sourcing for KCI

The Kimberley is Barramundi country, and its coastline yields some of the finest wild-caught fish in the southern hemisphere. We build cold platters and hot mains around this regional anchor, pairing clean white flesh with lime, native lemon myrtle and the chilli heat that characterises the region's Southeast Asian culinary thread. Tropical fruits — mango, papaya, finger lime — arrive from growers in the Broome hinterland and translate directly onto the aircraft as amuse-bouches, dressings and dessert components. For longer sectors departing Koolan Island, our kitchen prepares galley-ready hot meals in temperature-controlled packaging that holds through boarding and pre-departure. Crew meals receive the same attention: substantial, nutritionally considered and straightforward to serve without galley complexity. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time, allowing us to route certified provisions through our network before final assembly.
