How quickly can you confirm a catering order?

Our operations desk is open around the clock and replies to every enquiry in under ten minutes. Formal order confirmation, including itemised manifests and delivery timings, follows once your slot and handler details are confirmed.

What local produce can you source for a departure from Ohakea?

The Manawatū plains supply free-range lamb, artisan dairy and seasonal vegetables within a short sourcing window. For broader variety — Hawke's Bay stone fruit, Wellington specialty charcuterie or Marlborough seafood — we draw on our regional supplier network, with lead times built into your order plan.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

All standard dietary builds — gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based and low-sodium — are available at no additional notice. Kosher catering requires 24 hours' lead time and is arranged through your single point of contact.

Is high-loader delivery available at Ohakea?

High-loader capability is assessed against confirmed ramp access and aircraft type. Our logistics team plans delivery format — high-loader or ground-level — once handler and ramp details are known, ensuring the correct approach for your aircraft's galley door.

Can you supply crew meals separately from the passenger menu?

Crew meals are ordered and packed separately as standard, clearly labelled and positioned for quick access. Portions, dietary notes and timing can all be specified independently of the passenger uplift.

Which nearby airports can Altitude Dining also service for the same trip?

Our network covers Palmerston North, Wanganui, Paraparaumu, Masterton, Wellington and Napier, among many others. Multi-leg orders can be coordinated through a single point of contact, with consistent menus or location-specific builds at each stop.

Private jet catering in RNZAF Base Ohakea

The base sits within reach of some of New Zealand's most productive agricultural land. The Manawatū and Horowhenua districts supply exceptional lamb, free-range poultry, artisan dairy and stone fruit, all available to our kitchen within a tight sourcing window. Palmerston North, 23 kilometres north, anchors the region with a strong food-manufacturing and fresh-produce network that underpins our local sourcing for every order processed here. Further afield, the Hawke's Bay growing region — accessible via Napier — contributes some of New Zealand's finest stone fruit, olive oil and wine. Wellington, 134 kilometres to the south, adds a cosmopolitan pantry: premium cheesemakers, specialty roasters and artisan charcuterie that travel well and sit beautifully on a private jet menu. For Palmerston North private jet catering rooted in genuine regional provenance, Ohakea is a natural operational base.

Regional Catering Menu · RNZAF Base Ohakea

Fresh catering for RNZAF Base Ohakea flights

New Zealand's clean-air farming credentials translate directly into the galley. South Island cold-water salmon, Marlborough Sounds green-lipped mussels and line-caught hapuku appear regularly in our Ohakea builds, presented in formats engineered for altitude: vacuum-sealed accompaniments, temperature-stable sauces and minimal loose components that perform at cabin pressure without compromise. Manawatū lamb rack, finished with a herb crust and served alongside kumara purée, has become a signature cold-main option for afternoon departures from this base. Pâtisserie is prepared fresh in our certified kitchen and timed to your wheels-up. Expect New Zealand-grown feijoa tarts in season, hokey-pokey chocolate petit fours and dense pavlova roulades portioned for individual service. Dietary builds — gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based — are assembled with the same provenance-led ingredients as the standard menu. Kosher certification is available with 24 hours' notice, coordinated through our single point of contact.
