Which handling company do you deliver to at NPE?

We deliver to whichever handler is receiving your aircraft. Because we hold no exclusive FBO arrangement at Napier, simply confirm your handler at the time of booking and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you source Hawke's Bay wine for the flight?

Yes. We can include a curated Hawke's Bay wine selection — including Gimblett Gravels reds and regional Chardonnay — as part of your beverage order. Please specify any preferences or restrictions at the time of booking.

Do you cater kosher meals at Napier?

Certified kosher meals are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice to allow for proper sourcing and chain-of-custody handling.

Can you cover a multi-leg itinerary that includes nearby airports?

Absolutely. We regularly coordinate catering across consecutive legs — including Taupo, Gisborne, Palmerston North and Rotorua — under a single order. One contact manages the full routing.

How is food packaged for galley delivery at NPE?

Everything is delivered galley-ready: labelled, temperature-controlled and presented in packaging appropriate to the aircraft type and cabin configuration you specify. No re-plating is required on board unless you prefer it.

What is your service coverage at Napier?

We operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The airport's lighted primary runway supports early-morning and late-evening departures, and our delivery schedule is built around your wheels-up time, not a standard kitchen window.

Private jet catering in Napier

Hawke's Bay is New Zealand's oldest wine region and one of its most productive horticultural belts. Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet-dominant reds grown on the Gimblett Gravels sit alongside stone-fruit orchards, artisan cheesemakers and some of the country's finest lamb — a larder that genuinely shapes what we place on board. Napier itself is a city shaped by the 1931 earthquake and rebuilt almost overnight in pure Art Deco, giving it an architectural character unlike anywhere else in the southern hemisphere. Passengers arriving here tend to arrive with purpose — wine touring, coastal fishing, or the kind of rural estate visits that reward a considered welcome hamper rather than a generic airline tray.

Regional Catering Menu · Napier

Fresh catering for Napier flights

Hawke's Bay lamb is the natural centrepiece: slow-braised shoulder with preserved lemon and herbs, or a clean-cut rack finished with a local honey glaze. We source directly from farms within the region so that lead time from paddock to galley-ready packaging remains tight. Stone fruits — nectarines, peaches, apricots — arrive through the summer months and move straight into tarts, glazes and fresh fruit plates without ever seeing cold-chain compromise. The wine country context shapes our cheese and charcuterie selections too. Aged ewes'-milk cheeses from the Hawke's Bay hinterland, house-pickled vegetables and seed-cracker boards pair naturally with the bold reds the region produces. For morning departures, we build light, confident plates: whipped ricotta with local honey, seasonal fruit and a proper laminated pastry — nothing that feels afterthought.
