Which handler or FBO should we specify for delivery?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Asmara. Simply confirm the handling agent when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them, keeping you updated through your single point of contact.

Can you supply kosher meals at this airport?

Yes. Kosher meals are available with a minimum 24-hour lead time to allow for certified preparation and correct cold-chain transport to the aircraft.

Is high-loader delivery available for wide-body aircraft at Asmara?

The 3,000-metre primary runway accommodates larger long-range jets, and we have high-loader capability in place to support above-wing galley loading for those aircraft types.

Can you cater for onward legs to Axum, Mekele or Massawa?

Absolutely. We regularly provision for regional routing across the Horn of Africa. Tell us your full itinerary and we will build appropriate crew meals and passenger catering for each leg, including extended sectors.

Does the high altitude at Asmara affect how you prepare food?

It can influence certain preparations and flavour perception at cruise altitude after departure. Our culinary team accounts for this when seasoning and structuring menus, ensuring dishes perform as intended once airborne.

How far in advance should we place a catering order?

We recommend a minimum of 12 hours for standard orders at Asmara. Shorter lead times are handled on a best-efforts basis and we will always be transparent about what is achievable within your schedule.

Asmara private jet catering menu

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Asmara departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenEritrea

Cold main

Zigni-spiced lamb fillet

Slow-braised highland lamb shoulder pressed into a terrine, sliced cold and served with a berbere-laced reduction and flatbread croutons. A composed nod to Eritrea's defining stew in a format suited to inflight service.

To start

Spiced red lentil velouté

Teff-thickened red lentils blended with mitmita and finished with a swirl of clarified butter, served in a sealed jar ready for galley heating. Clean, warming and grounded in the highland pantry.

Hot main

Seared Red Sea fish with preserved lemon

Firm white fish sourced via the coast road from Massawa, pan-seared and plated over a warm chickpea and roasted pepper salad with a preserved-lemon and coriander dressing.

Morning

Ricotta and honey cornetto

A direct reference to Asmara's Italian pastry tradition — laminated dough rolled in the Eritrean style, filled with fresh ricotta and wild highland honey, baked and sealed for galley reheating.

Pâtisserie

Date and cardamom tart

A shortcrust shell filled with a cardamom-scented Medjool date frangipane, topped with a thin layer of bitter chocolate ganache. Compact, rich and well-suited to long-haul finishes.

Morning

Ful medames with soft egg and dukkah

Slow-cooked split broad beans seasoned with cumin and garlic, served warm with a precisely soft-boiled egg and a dusting of house-made dukkah. A staple of Asmara mornings, refined for the cabin.

Private jet catering in Asmara

Eritrea's capital is one of Africa's best-preserved modernist cities, its wide boulevards and art-deco facades a legacy of Italian colonial influence that never quite left the table. That same Italian thread runs through local cooking — pasta dishes adapted over generations sit comfortably alongside injera, spiced lentils and slow-braised meats seasoned with berbere and mitmita. Asmara private jet catering, done properly, should acknowledge both traditions. The highland plateau that gives Asmara its commanding elevation also defines its produce. Cooler temperatures than the Red Sea coast encourage cereals, pulses and a variety of root vegetables; the market at Medebar and the stalls near Liberation Avenue remain the city's most honest indicators of what is truly in season. Our sourcing reflects that reality rather than importing convenience.

Regional Catering Menu · Asmara

Fresh catering for Asmara flights

Eritrean cuisine is built around communal eating, and the ingredients that underpin it — teff-based injera, slow-cooked zigni lamb, the silky split-pea dish ful — translate well to galley-ready formats when handled with care. We prepare these alongside European-style boards, charcuterie and freshly baked items that speak to the city's Mediterranean inheritance, giving crews and passengers a genuine sense of place without compromising comfort. Given the proximity of the Red Sea coast — Massawa lies roughly 65 kilometres to the east — fresh fish and seafood can form part of a considered menu when lead times allow. We build menus around what is genuinely available at altitude rather than making promises the supply chain cannot keep. All dietary requirements, including kosher with a minimum 24-hour lead time, are accommodated through our single point of contact.
