World-Class Cuisine at 41,000 Feet: Join MJet as Our In-flight Chef!
Imagine this: instead of a traditional kitchen, your workspace is a luxurious Airbus Corporate Jet—a true "flying yacht" configured for just 19 guests. Your destination could be New York, Tokyo, Hawaii, or anywhere in between. This isn't a typical chef role. This is MJet, and we're looking for a talented, detail-driven culinary professional to take full ownership of our onboard dining experience.
Based anywhere in Europe or the UAE (yes, really—you can live wherever you choose), you'll work a rotation of approximately two weeks on duty followed by two weeks off. During your stopovers, the world becomes your break room. When you're in the air, you'll be the creative force behind a bespoke dining journey that rivals the finest restaurants on the ground.
What You'll Actually Do?
- You won't be cooking from scratch at 41,000 feet—instead, you'll work with pre-prepared high-end catering, transforming it into something extraordinary through impeccable plating, thoughtful presentation, and a deep understanding of flavor and texture.
- You'll manage the aircraft galley, coordinate with the cabin team, and provide seamless in-galley support during service.
- And because every guest is different, you'll contribute ideas for personalization—whether that's a specific wine pairing, a special dietary need, or a surprise touch that turns a meal into a memory.
This role sits at the intersection of culinary artistry and aircrew lifestyle. You'll report to the Captain and Senior Cabin Crew, but your domain is the dining experience from start to finish.
Who You Are?
We're not looking for someone with traditional cabin crew experience alone—this role is first and foremost for a chef. Here's what you'll need to bring:
- Proven culinary experience in professional kitchens, ideally within fine dining, Michelin-starred establishments, or luxury yacht environments. You know what excellence looks, smells, and tastes like.
- A gift for presentation. Plating is second nature to you. You understand that guests eat with their eyes first, and you take pride in every detail.
- Adaptability. Aviation has unique constraints—space, safety, timing. You're comfortable working within those boundaries without compromising quality.
- English fluency. You'll communicate seamlessly with an international crew and global clientele.
- Team spirit. You're open, approachable, and ready to integrate into a close-knit, family-like team.
- Flexibility. Business aviation moves fast. Flights can be scheduled at short notice, and you're ready for that rhythm.
- An adventurous mindset. You genuinely love to travel and want to combine your culinary passion with a global lifestyle.
- European citizenship or residency. This is a requirement for the position.
- Bonus points if you have: a solid understanding of wines, food pairing, and cocktail preparation. That knowledge takes the experience to another level.
What MJet Offers You?
We believe in rewarding excellence and supporting a lifestyle that works for you—not the other way around.
- Competitive salary: Negotiable based on your experience.
- Daily per diem: €100 for every day you're away from home.
- Live anywhere: Commuting contract allows you to reside anywhere in Europe or the UAE. MJet arranges your positioning from a major airport near your home.
- Prestigious operations: You'll fly on one of the world's most luxurious aircraft with a diverse and exciting international schedule.
- Supportive environment: Backed by a professional operations team and a genuinely warm, family-like crew culture.
Important to know: Candidates with only commercial cabin crew experience will not be considered for this position. This role is for culinary professionals first.
