What is the minimum lead time for a Wellington uplift?

For standard menus we ask for at least four hours' notice wherever possible. Complex bespoke menus, dietary requirements, or large passenger numbers benefit from 12–24 hours. Kosher orders require a minimum of 24 hours to ensure proper sealing and certification.

Which handler do you deliver to at Wellington?

We deliver directly to Capital Jet Services / ExecuJet, the fixed-base operator serving private and executive aviation at WLG. All catering is presented galley-ready at the aircraft.

Can you source local New Zealand produce for my flight?

Yes. Wellington's position close to the Wairarapa, Kapiti Coast, and Cook Strait fishing grounds means fresh local produce — seasonal vegetables, artisan cheese, seafood, and regional wine — can be sourced and on board within the same operational day on standard notice.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Crew meals are ordered and packed separately as standard practice. We offer purpose-built crew sets designed for practicality on the flight deck, distinct from the passenger galley.

How do you handle last-minute changes to passenger numbers or dietary requirements?

Call your single point of contact immediately. We absorb changes as late as the operation allows and communicate any constraint honestly rather than confirming something we cannot deliver.

Do you serve airports near Wellington if my aircraft repositions?

Our network reaches Paraparaumu to the north, and we are familiar with the regional field at Masterton. For any repositioning requirement, raise it with your account manager and we will advise on logistics and lead times specific to that location.

Wellington private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenNew Zealand

To start

Cook Strait Blue Cod Crudo

Thinly sliced blue cod dressed with Marlborough sea salt, cold-pressed New Zealand olive oil, shaved fennel, and a little finger lime. Packed on ice; no heat required.

Hot main

Wairarapa Pinot-Braised Canterbury Lamb Shoulder

Slow-braised lamb shoulder finished in a pinot noir reduction, served with soft white bean purée and preserved lemon gremolata. Reheats evenly in a standard galley oven.

Cold main

Kapiti Brie, Pear & Walnut Plate

A composed cold plate of aged Kapiti Brie, poached Wairarapa pear, candied walnuts, and seeded crackers — a clean, unhurried course that needs nothing from the galley.

To start

South Island King Salmon, Cucumber & Dill

Cured and thinly pressed king salmon with pickled cucumber, crème fraîche, and dill oil on a rye crisp base. Temperature-stable for the duration of a domestic or trans-Tasman sector.

Morning

Wellington Sourdough Breakfast Set

Sliced sourdough from a central Wellington bakery, cultured butter, manuka honey, soft-boiled free-range eggs, and a separate bag of single-origin filter coffee, freshly ground to order.

Pâtisserie

Hokey Pokey & Dark Chocolate Tartlet

A short-pastry tartlet filled with 70% Whittaker's dark chocolate ganache and finished with hand-broken hokey pokey honeycomb — a considered nod to New Zealand's confectionery heritage.

Private jet catering in Wellington

Wellington sits at the southern tip of the North Island, flanked by harbour water and steep green hills that funnel weather with little ceremony. It is a city of serious food culture — independent roasters, dedicated fishmongers sourcing daily from Cook Strait, and market gardeners who treat the Wairarapa hinterland as a working larder rather than a weekend destination. That proximity to producer country shapes what we put on board. Wairarapa pinot noir and olive oil, Kapiti Coast cheeses, South Island king salmon that can travel the distance from sea to galley in the same morning — these are the anchors of a Wellington uplift done properly. Wellington private jet catering, at its best, tastes unmistakably of where it has come from.

Regional Catering Menu · Wellington

Fresh catering for Wellington flights

New Zealand's southern waters yield some of the cleanest seafood available anywhere: hapuku, blue cod, pāua, and green-lipped mussels all feature in our Wellington menus with no theatrical intervention — precise preparation, honest garnish, nothing added that does not improve the ingredient. Alongside the ocean larder, the pastoral tradition is equally strong; Canterbury lamb and free-range poultry from the lower North Island travel beautifully in temperature-controlled galley packaging. For morning departures, we source from Wellington's artisan bakery circuit — sourdough, laminated pastry, single-origin filter coffee — and build breakfast sets that reflect a city whose café culture is, by any serious measure, among the finest in the southern hemisphere. Kosher catering is available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, sealed and certified to board.
