Inflight Catering Services for Aviation

Inflight catering refers to the preparation, packaging, and delivery of food designed specifically to be served onboard aircraft. Unlike traditional catering, inflight catering must account for aircraft galleys, limited storage, precise departure timing, and aviation-specific handling requirements.

Skydine provides professional inflight catering services for private jets, charter operators, crew flights, and airline operations, supporting flights nationwide with custom menus, short-notice execution, and seamless coordination with FBOs and flight crews

What Is Inflight Catering?

Inflight catering is the specialized service of creating meals that can be safely transported, stored, reheated, and served onboard an aircraft. Every inflight catering order is planned around the flight itself, not just the food, ensuring it aligns with aircraft capabilities, service flow, and operational timing.

Inflight catering may include:

VIP passenger meals
Crew and economy catering
Display platters and shared boards
Snacks and onboard grazing
Special dietary and custom requests

Because inflight catering operates within strict logistical and time constraints, it requires aviation specific experience and coordination.

Nationwide Inflight Catering Coverage

Skydine provides inflight catering support nationwide, working across multiple markets and airports without limiting service to a single region. Orders are coordinated based on flight location and operational needs, with delivery arranged directly to the appropriate FBO or aircraft handling agent.

This approach allows consistent service regardless of where a flight departs.

Short Notice & On-Demand Inflight Catering

Private and charter aviation often operate on tight timelines. Many inflight catering orders are placed within 24 to 48 hours of departure, and sometimes even closer.

Skydine supports short-notice inflight catering by:

Offering flexible menu options
Sourcing ingredients quickly
Coordinating staffing efficiently
Communicating pricing and availability promptly

Turnaround time is largely dependent on how quickly flight details are confirmed.
