Private inflight dining aboard corporate air charters, like those offered by Flex Air Charters, offers a safer and more personalized alternative to the limited food service options on commercial flights during the pandemic. As Covid-19 reshapes the travel industry, airlines have adjusted in-flight operations to reduce contact—but these changes often come at the expense of comfort.
Since March 2020, many airlines significantly reduced or completely suspended food and beverage services to limit interactions between crew and passengers. This cut down on potential virus exposure but also removed one of the few remaining luxuries of public air travel.
In recent months, some commercial carriers have cautiously reintroduced limited snack options and drinks. This raises an important question: can you safely eat on a plane? According to health experts, the answer depends more on the delivery method than the food itself.
Bringing your own food remains the safest route, especially on public flights. The main concern is not what you eat, but when and how. Interactions with flight attendants and simultaneous mask removal increase exposure risk. By eliminating cabin service, airlines reduce aisle movement and help stagger passenger “demasking,” which health experts say is key to minimizing the spread of respiratory droplets.
A Harvard study conducted with the Aviation Public Health Initiative supports this idea. It found that when passengers bring their own meals and in-flight service is limited, overall exposure is reduced due to less group mask removal and minimal crew contact.
Most airlines now offer pre-packaged snack boxes that often include sanitizer, crackers, and bottled water. However, hot meals are still rare on domestic routes and mostly reserved for longer international flights.
This is where Flex Air Charters makes a distinct difference. With private inflight dining, passengers can enjoy meals tailored to their preferences without sacrificing safety. Each charter includes private catering that adheres to your dietary needs and comfort level. Whether you prefer pre-packaged, gourmet, or completely contactless options, everything is arranged prior to departure with minimal onboard interaction.
Flex Air Charters also eliminates the risks associated with crowded cabins. You choose your travel companions, boarding is quick and private, and service is fully customized. From pet-friendly accommodations to in-flight entertainment and chef-prepared meals, every detail is designed around your comfort and security.
