Who do you deliver to at Mount Hotham?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Because there are no named fixed-base operators on field, we confirm ground coordination details with your crew or flight support team at the time of order.

Can you cater crew meals separately from the passenger order?

Yes. Crew meals are ordered and packaged independently, clearly labelled, and can reflect a different menu entirely. We recommend confirming crew numbers and any dietary requirements when placing the main order.

How quickly will someone respond to my enquiry?

Our operations team responds within ten minutes, 24 hours a day. For time-critical departures from a high-elevation airport with limited ground time, that responsiveness matters.

Do you cater for dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free or halal?

All standard dietary requirements — vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal and nut-free — are accommodated at the point of order. Kosher catering requires 24 hours' notice.

Can I order catering for a return leg departing from a different airport?

Yes. If your itinerary continues through another regional field — such as those near Sale or Morwell — we can co-ordinate both legs under a single order and single point of contact, adjusting timing to each departure.

Is Mount Hotham catering available during summer as well as the ski season?

Fully. The airport operates year-round and so does our service. Summer menus lean toward lighter, herb-forward preparations that reflect the High Country's warmer-season produce, while winter orders tend toward warming, sustaining dishes suited to cold-weather departures.

We ask for a minimum of four hours for standard orders. Alpine access logistics mean that earlier notice — particularly for large passenger counts or specialist dietary requirements — gives us more sourcing flexibility. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours.

Private jet catering menu for Mount Hotham

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAustralia

To start

High Country Beef Tartare

Hand-cut Victorian alpine beef, aged mustard, capers and a quail egg yolk — served chilled with toasted rye crispbread. Structured to travel cleanly without the components merging before service.

Cold main

Smoked Trout and Fennel Salad

Cold-smoked trout from the High Country waterways, shaved fennel, radish and a dill crème fraîche. Portioned in a sealed galley tray; holds well at altitude without wilting.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Beef Cheek

Victorian grass-fed beef cheek braised low and slow with red wine and mountain herbs, finished with celeriac purée and crisp shallots. A natural choice for cold-weather departures from high elevation.

Morning

Alpine Herb Frittata

Free-range eggs with goat's cheese, roasted capsicum and rosemary from the High Country corridor. Baked in individual portions and sealed for easy galley service — equally suited to early morning departures or late positioning flights.

Pâtisserie

Almond and Brown Butter Financier

Classic French-style financier made with Victorian cultured butter and a light dusting of icing sugar. Dense enough to hold its texture at cabin pressure, delicate enough to finish a meal cleanly.

To finish

Victorian Alpine Cheese Selection

A curated board of three alpine cheeses sourced from the High Country and surrounds, accompanied by honeycomb, quince paste and house-baked walnut crackers. Assembled and portioned per seat.

Inflight Catering · Mount Hotham

Inflight catering in Mount Hotham

Mount Hotham sits deep within the Victorian High Country, a landscape defined by snow gum woodland, winter snowfields and a stillness that the surrounding lowlands rarely offer. The region draws a discerning seasonal clientele — skiers, heli-hikers and property owners who expect the same standard in the air as they find in the lodges below. The nearest regional centres — Corryong to the north-east and Albury-Wodonga to the south — anchor a broader agricultural corridor producing cool-climate provisions that translate directly onto our menus. Mountain-grown herbs, high-country beef and Victorian alpine cheeses give Mount Hotham private jet catering a character that is genuinely of this place.

Regional Catering Menu · Mount Hotham

Local sourcing for MHU

The High Country's altitude and climate lend themselves to bold, warming preparations: slow-braised meats from local grazing country, root vegetables roasted with alpine herbs, and hearty grain salads that hold well at cabin pressure without losing texture or temperature. Our culinary team designs every Mount Hotham inflight catering order around the season — leaning into the deep winter larder from June through September and pivoting to lighter, herb-forward plates when the snowfields give way to wildflower meadows. Crew meals receive the same sourcing discipline as passenger service. Cold-weather departures call for properly sustaining food, and we build crew options accordingly — nourishing, easy to eat on rotation, and portioned for a long duty day in a compact galley. Kosher requirements are accommodated with 24 hours' notice; all other dietary specifications are addressed at the point of order.
