Private Jets Colorado can arrange in-flight catering on the aircraft we book for clients flying to or from Colorado, from coffee and pastries on a short morning flight to a full dinner on the way home to New York.
Catering is ordered for your flight
There is no set menu on a charter. Your advisor places the order for your flight, based on the time of day, how long you will be in the air and who is traveling. On a short trip from Denver to the mountains, most clients want something light. On a longer flight to either coast, a proper meal makes more sense.
The aircraft decides how much can be served. Larger jets have full galleys with ovens and more storage, while smaller aircraft may only have room for cold food and drinks. Your advisor will tell you what the aircraft on your trip can handle before you choose the menu.
Dietary needs and allergies
Please tell us about allergies, dietary restrictions, kosher or other religious requirements, and meals for children when you first request a quote. Those details belong in the order from the beginning, so they are not left to the last minute.
Favorite restaurants and busy weekends
If you would like food from a particular restaurant in Denver, Aspen, Vail or Telluride, we can usually arrange it with enough notice. Over the holidays, on Presidents’ Day weekend and during big events such as X Games Aspen in late January, please send the order as early as you can, so there is time to put it together.
Bringing your own
Some clients like to bring their own wine or snacks. That is usually fine on a domestic flight. On an international trip, the destination’s customs rules may limit what you can carry, so tell your advisor what you plan to bring. If you are planning a celebration on board, our page on weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries has more ideas.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Colorado-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Every Colorado airport sits at high elevation, and the right one depends on where you are going once you land. Around Denver, Centennial and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan are the usual choices for a private flight, but Centennial limits aircraft to 70,000 lb maximum takeoff weight, so the largest jets use Denver International. In the mountains, Eagle County serves Vail and Beaver Creek, Yampa Valley Regional in Hayden serves Steamboat, and Telluride has a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Aspen limits aircraft to a 95 ft wingspan, and its airport will close to all aircraft from April 4th to November 19th, 2027 for runway reconstruction. Thin air and heat change how much runway an aircraft needs, and that is the operator’s call on the day. Winter brings de-icing, summer thunderstorms can hold departures at Denver, and customs is available at Denver International, Colorado Springs, Centennial, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan and Eagle County.
