Sky High Gourmet: Qatar Executive’s Impressive Dining

The majority of travelers who fly private do so regularly. For these individuals, chartering an aircraft is a way to save time, be more efficient, and reduce the stress and taxing nature of a journey. Even so, chartering an aircraft should still be viewed as an experience in its own right. Qatar Executive — the private jet charter division of Qatar Airways — is well-versed in delivering a flight experience that meets and exceeds their customer's expectations. Often the greatest differentiator that separates a good flight from the exceptional is food and beverages served on board and the service that accompanies it.  

At Qatar Executive, great lengths are taken to ensure a passenger's flight is up to the highest standards. Highly customizable dining options, delivered by a team of cabin crew that understand the true meaning of going the extra mile, are essential.

Offering high-quality food and beverage options from locations across the globe, and doing it all at an elite level, is a real skill. It’s also a logistical nightmare. Thanks to its close ties with Qatar Airways, when Qatar Executive began its journey, many of the right connections were already in place.

Today, Qatar Executive is renowned for its ability to accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions, while delivering a quality, fresh and immaculately presented offering. The second piece in this puzzle is a highly trained and personable cabin crew, without which such a level of service would never be achievable.

Qatar Executive cabin crew set out to exceed the expectations of their passengers, and do so in part by remembering their preferences, ensuring each additional flight is not new, but a continuation of the Qatar Executive experience. It’s this level of detail and commitment, that sees private flyers continually return to Qatar Executive.

Qatar Executive aircraft always come stocked with food and beverage options of the highest quality. Thanks to the wide client base, dishes have been designed to cater to an extensive variety of global palates, from Middle Eastern fare to sushi and more Western-inspired dishes.

It’s also important to remember that all of this is customizable. Qatar Executive takes the extra necessary steps to ensure customers can essentially eat whatever they wish on board. This is all decided and prepared pre-flight during a consultation with the cabin experience team, preferences are also noted down for the future to ensure an even more efficient process for customers' next charter.

A sample menu can sometimes help guide guests when deciding what may be possible. A variety of salads and starters are suggested, such as smoked salmon and Greek salad, or an assortment of Arabic mezze like hummus and meat fatayer. For mains, wagyu steak with a black pepper sauce is an option, or perhaps Hammour fish with lemon sauce. In reality, every passenger's wants and needs are different, be it a dietary preference or just certain foods customers enjoy, Qatar Executive is always prepared to deliver requests at the highest standard.

It's not uncommon for passengers to request particular dishes from their favorite hotel, like Four Seasons and The Peninsula, or perhaps celebrated restaurants like Zuma and Novikov. For some, dessert is the most important part of every meal. Qatar Executive has taken steps to ensure passengers' favorite pastries from celebrated bakers like Cedric Grolet are available mid-flight.

Qatar Executive crew are trained and dedicated to not only meeting but exceeding customer expectations. Crew members have been specifically educated on food presentation, ensuring Qatar Executive meals, in addition to elegant meals from world-class hotels and restaurants.

From the moment passengers step aboard a private charter, they expect a luxury experience. Qatar Executive crews can help create this by changing the cabin aesthetics such as adding flowers based on their preferences or decorating the aircraft for a special occasion.

For families traveling, cabin crew are highly experienced in anticipating the needs of infants and children, taking steps to ensure toys are personalized for the children's age and gender, while seasonal activities, such as writing letters to Santa, always keep flights entertaining for younger travelers.

Perhaps their favorite chocolates are on board without having to ask, or a preferred welcome drink is ready on arrival. It’s these small touches that help ensure Qatar Executive remains an excellent choice for a private jet charter.
