The London-based
in-flight catering business Alison Price On Air announced that it is launching
a new service named ‘Chef in the Sky'. The new service provides a personal chef
to accompany a private flight to prepare and cook meals for clients whilst on
board the aircraft. Chef in the Sky offers both on-board meal preparation
and bespoke menu design with the added benefits of precise cooking and presentation.
Designed to
accommodate larger, more complex menus such as those with between three and
eight courses. Bespoke menu design enables clients to select particular
favourites and tailor the menu to accommodate a variety of tastes, cultures or
dietary requests. Alternatively, clients may simply request chef-prepared meals
from a pre-selected menu. The service also includes the added bonus of a
complimentary sommelier service with their wine list. Flight attendants
can call for specialist advice on storing wine, purchasing wine, wines that
work well at altitude and appropriate wines to pair with particular dishes.
Daniel Hulme,
director of in-flight services at Alison Price On Air comments: "We're aiming
to create the ultimate on-board catering product. This is the first time that
anyone has offered such a service and the offering is part of our continual aim
to provide clients with a wide range of options when it comes to their
in-flight catering experience. We anticipate that Chef in the Sky will
appeal to corporations, private owners of the heavy jet airliners such as the
BBJs, ACJs, and VIP charter companies."
Charging will work on an
hourly fee plus expenses for the on-board Chef in the Sky service with menu
design offered on a complimentary basis. Consultancy fees will be charged
for complex menu design requests and daily rates will apply if chefs are
required for a return journey.
Chef in the Sky
is available immediately on all private heavy jet flights including the Boeing
Business Jet and the Airbus ACJ from all London Airports. Alison Price On
Air hopes to extend the service in future to additional private and charter
flights from London.
