Charter

Catering

Catering on a private flight is ordered through the FBO or a specialist inflight caterer, and quality and price vary from a basic snack basket included in the charter to multi-course meals costing several hundred dollars per person. Most operators include soft drinks, coffee and light snacks; anything else is passed through at cost plus a handling margin, often 15–25%. Order at least 24 hours ahead, longer at small airports and for dietary or religious requirements, and remember that a light jet has no galley oven, so hot food must be delivered warm. Alcohol is usually stocked on request; some Middle East operators do not carry it.
