Which handler will receive the delivery at RVV?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft on the day. We ask that you confirm handler details at the time of order so our team can coordinate access and timing precisely.

Can you source fresh local produce for a flight departing Raivavae?

Yes. The Austral Islands produce excellent reef fish, taro, breadfruit and coconut. Availability is subject to season and local supply, which is why early confirmation of your menu allows us to verify what is genuinely fresh rather than substituting at the last moment.

Is it possible to supplement the menu with produce from Papeete?

It is. Papeete is the nearest major supply point, approximately 733 km from Raivavae. With sufficient lead time we can route patisserie, charcuterie, cheeses and other items through Papeete to complement the local menu.

Do you cater crew meals separately from the passenger cabin?

Always. Crew meals are packaged, labelled and priced independently, and are prepared with the same sourcing standards as the passenger menu — simply formatted for the practicalities of a working flight deck.

How quickly can I expect a response after submitting an enquiry?

Our operations desk replies within ten minutes around the clock, every day of the year. For a remote location such as Raivavae, early contact gives us the most room to build the best possible brief.

Can you service an onward leg from Raivavae to another Austral island such as Tubuai?

Yes. Tubuai is the closest neighbour at roughly 198 km and we can coordinate sequential catering across multiple Austral stops as part of a single order, managed through one point of contact throughout.

Q: How far in advance should I place a catering order for Raivavae?

Given Raivavae's position at the southern end of the Austral chain, we recommend a minimum of 48 hours for standard orders. Kosher provisions and any items sourced from Papeete require at least 24 hours from the point of confirmation in Papeete, so earlier notice is always advantageous.

The chef's menu at RVV

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenFrench Polynesia

To start

Poisson Cru with Fresh Coconut Milk

Reef fish cured briefly in lime juice and finished with freshly pressed coconut milk, sliced cucumber and a little finely diced tomato. The preparation is Polynesian in its simplicity and travels exceptionally well in chilled galley containers.

Cold main

Taro and Reef Fish Parcel

Steamed taro mashed with a small amount of coconut cream, wrapped with flaked local reef fish and sealed in a banana-leaf parcel for service. Earthy, gentle and entirely of the Austral Islands.

Hot main

Braised Mahi-Mahi with Green Papaya

Mahi-mahi braised low in coconut broth with green papaya and fresh ginger, finished with a thread of lime oil. Packed hot in an insulated container for ramp-to-cabin service.

Morning

Coconut Rice Porridge with Toasted Breadfruit

A morning preparation built around Polynesian staples: rice cooked long in thin coconut milk, served alongside thin slices of breadfruit toasted until just golden. Calm, sustaining and unlike any hotel breakfast.

Pâtisserie

Vanilla Flan with Tahitian Vanilla Cream

A set custard made with Tahitian vanilla — one of the few luxury ingredients that moves easily through the supply chain — finished with a thin caramel and a curl of toasted coconut.

To finish

Chilled Sliced Mango with Lime Sugar

Ripe mango, sliced clean and chilled, with a light dusting of lime zest and raw cane sugar. The finish that requires least intervention and rewards the best sourcing.

Inflight Catering · Raivavae

Raivavae private jet catering

Raivavae is often called the most beautiful island in French Polynesia — a lagoon ringed by motu, a volcanic peak rising above the reef, and a population small enough that every arrival is noticed. That remoteness defines the logistics of Raivavae private jet catering: supply lines are long, so planning with adequate lead time is not a preference but a discipline we enforce on every order. Fresh produce and local proteins — breadfruit, taro, reef fish, coconut in every form — move slowly through the Austral chain. We work within that rhythm, sourcing what the islands offer at their best and supplementing from Papeete when the brief demands it, ensuring the galley reflects where the aircraft actually is rather than a generic tropical menu.

Regional Catering Menu · Raivavae

Inflight catering menu for Raivavae

The Austral Islands have a culinary character distinct from the Society Islands to the north. Cooking here leans on the earth oven — the himaa — and on preserved and fermented ingredients that speak to the island's self-reliance. We translate that into inflight catering that is refined without being unrecognisable: poisson cru dressed with fresh coconut milk, taro prepared with the unhurried care it requires, and reef fish that moves from water to galley box with as little interference as possible. For guests arriving from or continuing to Papeete — the nearest major hub, some 733 km to the north — we can coordinate a Papeete-sourced supplement to extend the menu range, incorporating patisserie, aged cheeses and proteins that the Australs do not produce locally. The result is a table that acknowledges both the remoteness of RVV and the broader French Polynesian larder available to a well-planned operation.
