Jet Charter Philadelphia arranges in-flight catering on charter flights from Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, from a light breakfast on an early departure to a full service on a long leg.
What is possible depends mostly on the aircraft. Larger cabins have galleys and can serve a hot meal properly. Smaller aircraft carry prepared food that travels well and is served cold. Your advisor will tell you which applies to the aircraft on your quote before you order.
Ordering
Catering is arranged in advance rather than on the day, and additional charges may apply depending on what you order. Twenty-four hours is usually enough for standard service. Anything specific, and particularly anything from a named restaurant, needs longer.
Dietary requirements, allergies, children’s meals and religious requirements are all routine. Tell us at booking rather than at the aircraft, and be specific about allergies so the caterer can act on it.
Drinks
Particular wines, champagnes or spirits can be sourced with enough notice. Where you have a strong preference, say so early, because it may need to come from outside the caterer’s standard list.
Departures usually run from Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE), where the private terminal handles the catering delivery to the aircraft.
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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
Philadelphia-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Winter is the one that catches people out, because de-icing takes time on the ramp before an aircraft can depart and a January departure can sit longer than the same trip in June. Summer brings thunderstorms that move through the corridor quickly and close airspace while they pass. Your advisor watches both ahead of your date and will call you before you call us.
