When your journey begins on the French Riviera, every detail counts — from flight slots and ramp handling to the aroma of the first course served at 40,000 feet. At AirWise Executive Flight Support, we believe inflight dining is not just a service, but a symbol of refinement and precision.Operating exclusively with full ramp access at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (LFMN), AirWise brings together VVIP inflight catering, Michelin-level gastronomy, and direct restaurant pickups from Monaco’s most celebrated kitchens to redefine the private jet experience.
The AirWise Signature: A Culinary Experience Above the Clouds
Discerning travelers expect the same excellence in the sky as they do in Monaco’s finest restaurants. AirWise’s Concierge Branch was created precisely for this purpose — to deliver a dining experience that mirrors the world’s most prestigious tables.
Each menu is curated in partnership with Michelin-starred chefs, Giraudi Group restaurants, and trusted local purveyors who embody the Riviera’s culinary artistry.
Our Philosophy: Taste Without Compromise
For AirWise, quality begins long before takeoff. From sourcing produce at sunrise markets in Nice to selecting the perfect cut of Wagyu from Beefbar Monaco, every ingredient tells a story.Our chefs design dishes that preserve their integrity at altitude — maintaining perfect texture, balance, and aroma once reheated onboard.
Our Promise: each passenger enjoys a dining experience worthy of the Riviera’s best restaurants, even when cruising at Mach 0.90.

Crafted for Altitude: How AirWise Designs Inflight Menus
Inflight cuisine presents unique technical challenges — pressure, humidity, and reheating can alter flavors dramatically. AirWise’s culinary experts account for every variable, adjusting recipes and techniques to ensure consistency from ground to cruise altitude.
Culinary Engineering for Business Aviation:
Altitude-Aware Recipes: Flavor profiles optimized for reduced taste perception at high altitude.
Moisture Control: Sous-vide methods and vacuum-sealed containers to maintain tenderness.
Balanced Seasoning: Adjusted salt and acidity ratios for taste clarity in pressurized cabins.
Temperature Precision: Delivered at precise degrees for immediate galley loading.
Example of Inflight Specialties:
Beefbar Monaco Wagyu Mini Burgers with Truffle Mayo
Mediterranean Sea Bass with Olive Tapenade and Lemon Confit
Lobster Ravioli in Saffron Cream Sauce
Vegan Quinoa Salad with Tahini Dressing and Roasted Vegetables
Lavender Crème Brûlée with Menton Lemon Essence
Each dish is designed not just for visual appeal but for flawless service onboard — even on long-range routes from Nice to Dubai, New York, or São Paulo.
Luxury Restaurant Pickups: Monaco to the Sky
No longer confined to traditional aviation menus, AirWise enables clients to enjoy signature dishes directly from the Riviera’s most iconic restaurants.
Through its Luxury Restaurant Pickup Program, AirWise collects chef-prepared meals from Monaco, Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez, repackages them for aviation compliance, and delivers them airside at LFMN — preserving the original chef’s intent and presentation.
Examples of Partner Excellence:
Beefbar Monaco (Giraudi Group): Known worldwide for premium beef and contemporary luxury dining.
Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse: A three-Michelin-star temple of Mediterranean cuisine.
Yoshi (Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo): The Riviera’s premier Japanese fusion experience.
Blue Bay (Monte Carlo Bay): Known for Caribbean-meets-French gourmet creations.
La Palme d’Or (Cannes): Two-star haute cuisine inspired by local produce.
La Vague d’Or (Saint-Tropez): Elegant coastal dishes for refined travelers.
Each partnership represents a direct culinary bridge between the Riviera’s most acclaimed tables and your private jet cabin — a seamless service made possible by AirWise’s full airside licensing and 24/7 ramp access at LFMN.
Precision and Control: How AirWise Manages the Entire Process
Unlike global catering brokers, AirWise operates on-site, with real-time access to aircraft, handlers, and airport authorities. Every order is handled by our licensed team — never subcontracted.
Step-by-Step Coordination:
Request Submission: Clients email fbo.nce@airwiseexecutive.com with flight details, passenger preferences, and dietary needs.
Culinary Planning: The Concierge Branch designs a bespoke menu or coordinates directly with the chosen restaurant.
Packaging Oversight: All meals are packed in aviation-grade foil or microwave-safe boxes, sealed under HACCP standards.
Cold-Chain Monitoring: Refrigerated vehicles ensure temperature stability during transfer.
Airside Delivery: AirWise supervisors personally oversee catering transfer to the aircraft stand, guaranteeing security, timing, and quality.
This operational control ensures punctuality and precision, even during high-traffic periods like the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, Monaco Yacht Show, or the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice.

The Science Behind Aviation-Friendly Packaging
Inflight catering is an art supported by engineering. AirWise uses packaging technology tailored to the unique environment of private jets:
Foil Containers: For oven reheating without altering texture.
Microwave-Safe Eco Boxes: Ideal for compact aircraft galleys.
Vacuum-Sealed Units: Maintain freshness on long-haul sectors.
Tamper-Evident Labels: Guarantee hygiene and security during transport.
Temperature Tracking: Smart sensors ensure HACCP compliance from kitchen to cockpit.
This attention to detail extends to beverage logistics — from chilled Champagne bottles to pre-portioned craft cocktails and specialty teas sourced from Riviera boutiques.
Partnerships with the Giraudi Group and Riviera’s Elite
AirWise’s culinary identity is deeply connected to the Riviera’s finest dining institutions. Through its relationship with the Giraudi Group, AirWise brings the world of Beefbar Monaco, Le Petit Beefbar Paris, and Beefbar Milan directly into the inflight dining experience.
Passengers departing from Nice or Monaco can enjoy Giraudi’s legendary cuts — from Kobe fillet to Australian Black Angus — paired with sides like truffle mashed potatoes, crispy polenta, or spicy chimichurri.
Beyond Beefbar, AirWise collaborates with Michelin-starred chefs, artisan pâtissiers, and boutique suppliers for fresh pastries, caviar, aged cheeses, and specialty wines.
Local Roots, Global Standards
AirWise’s strength lies in its local presence combined with international compliance. While competitors rely on remote coordination, AirWise maintains direct control from its base within Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (LFMN).
Compliance & Safety:
HACCP-certified cold-chain operations
DGAC-approved delivery protocols
Eurocontrol & CDM coordination for on-time catering access
ISO-standard hygiene and traceability
Full ramp supervision during loading
This combination of culinary excellence and operational precision is what makes AirWise the preferred choice for private operators, brokers, and flight attendants managing elite missions into the Côte d’Azur.

Crew Support and Confidential Service
AirWise understands that behind every smooth passenger experience stands a dedicated crew. Our catering division extends support to flight attendants and dispatchers by offering:
Crew Menu Options: Balanced, cost-effective meals tailored for long rotations.
Allergen Cards & Reheating Guides: Simplify galley preparation.
24/7 Contact: Immediate coordination via email or WhatsApp.
Confidentiality Guaranteed: Strict discretion for celebrity, diplomatic, and royal clients.
Every aspect of service — from a last-minute dessert order to a full tasting menu — is handled with privacy, punctuality, and precision.
Why AirWise Outranks the Rest
Competitors like Dark Wing Inflight, VIP Jet Catering, and Inflight Chef Delight often operate through third-party networks or remote logistics. AirWise’s distinction is simple but decisive:
Local presence, not remote brokers
Officially licensed airside team at LFMN
Direct partnerships with restaurants and chefs
Transparent pricing and secure payment channels
Zero outsourcing – total operational control
This ensures not only culinary excellence but also full accountability, from kitchen to cockpit.

Eco-Friendly Materials: Compostable or recyclable containers.
Waste Reduction: Optimized portioning and route planning.
Local Sourcing: Reduced transport footprint and support for regional farms.
Energy Efficiency: Cold-chain vehicles meeting European emission standards.
By combining environmental respect with operational excellence, AirWise reflects the evolving values of modern business aviation.
