Personal, medical and dietary requirements anticipated and coordinated in advance.

Frequently asked questions about aviation services and upgrades.
Planning to add complementary services to your upcoming private or commercial charter flight? Below are answers to common questions about how ground services, onboard upgrades and security arrangements are coordinated alongside your booking. Submit your request through the IONA JETS platform, and our broker partners will coordinate all service bookings on your behalf.
How far in advance should catering or special meals be requested?
Standard catering orders require 24 to 48 hours of notice. Complex menus, rare ingredients or certified halal and kosher preparation may need additional lead time, often three to five days for sourced delicacies and seasonal produce. Broker partners advise on the timeline based on your specific requirements and the catering infrastructure at your departure airport, and confirm whether dietary substitutions remain possible after the cutoff if your travel plans shift, with backup options identified for high-risk allergies that need ironclad ingredient traceability.
Can a chauffeur access the tarmac to meet the aircraft directly?
Airside vehicle access depends on airport regulations and the specific operator handling your flight. At FBOs and private terminals, tarmac pickup is standard practice and typically requires no special clearance. At commercial airports, dedicated terminal access is arranged through the handling agent and may involve additional badging or escort fees. Broker partners coordinate with airport authorities to secure the most direct transfer possible, including pre-positioning the vehicle inside the secure area when this is permitted by the local handling regulations.
How are cabin branding and configuration requests managed?
Broker partners coordinate branded items, seating changes and cabin customization with the operator. All modifications require operator approval and must comply with the aircraft's certified configuration. Lead times range from one to two weeks for simple items such as headrest covers and printed menus, to four or more weeks for bespoke production involving digital screens or fitted upholstery, confirmed during the booking process, with engineering sign-off required for any modification affecting weight, balance or in-flight entertainment routing.
Can services be added after the initial flight booking?
Yes. Broker partners can integrate additional services into your existing booking at any point before departure, including helicopter transfers, chauffeur services, security arrangements, catering upgrades, cabin branding or VIP terminal access. The ability to add services depends on lead time requirements, operator approval, provider availability and the production timelines for any custom items such as branded cabin elements. Last-minute additions are usually possible for chauffeurs and lounge access, while branded fittings or custom catering generally need at least 24 hours to confirm.
