Private jet menu for Axum

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenEthiopia

Hot main
Misir Wot with Teff Injera
Slow-cooked red lentils spiced with berbere and niter kibbeh, portioned for galley reheating and sealed alongside a round of fermented teff injera. A self-contained expression of the Tigray table.
Hot main
Highland Beef Tibs
Diced Ethiopian highland beef sautéed with rosemary, green jalapeño, and onion, finished with a touch of mitmita. Vacuum-sealed for heat retention and accompanied by a small portion of ayib fresh cheese.
Morning
Spiced Scrambled Eggs with Berbere Butter
Free-range eggs softly scrambled with a berbere-infused butter and topped with sliced tomato. Served with a portion of house-baked flatbread — a composed early-departure option that holds well in a heated galley drawer.
Cold main
Cold Mezze Board
Labneh with olive oil, roasted capsicum, house-pickled vegetables, and flatbread. No reheating required, making it well-suited to short sectors or cabins with mixed meal preferences.
Pâtisserie
Highland Honey and Ricotta Tartlet
A short-pastry shell filled with whipped ricotta and finished with a drizzle of Ethiopian wildflower honey. Individually sealed and ambient-stable for service at altitude.
To finish
Fresh Fruit Plate with Spiced Yoghurt
Seasonal fruit sourced from regional markets, arranged and chilled, accompanied by a pot of yoghurt seasoned lightly with cardamom and honey. A clean finish or palate opener depending on service order.

Private aviation catering at AXU

Few cities on the African continent carry the historical gravity of Axum. The seat of the Aksumite Empire, home to standing stelae and the claimed resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, it draws scholars, diplomats, and discerning travellers whose expectations extend from the tarmac to the table. Our catering reflects that context — composed, considered, and rooted in place. The Tigray highlands produce some of Ethiopia's most distinctive agricultural staples: teff grown at altitude, bold berbere spice blends prepared to generational recipes, honey that carries the aroma of highland wildflowers, and légumes that benefit from the cool, thin air. Where supply chains and lead times allow, we source these ingredients to give every order from HAAX a genuinely local signature.

Regional Catering Menu · Axum

Axum inflight catering

Ethiopian cuisine is one of the world's great communal traditions, and we translate its logic for the galley without diminishing it. Injera — the fermented teff flatbread that serves as both plate and utensil — travels well when prepared correctly and sealed to preserve its characteristic sour note. Alongside it we build wot stews in measured portions: misir wot of spiced red lentils for a vegetarian anchor, and tibs of sautéed highland beef with rosemary and jalapeño for those who want something more substantial. Each component is portioned, labelled, and chilled for galley reheating, arriving in the sequence your crew needs. Beyond the regional canon, our kitchen prepares continental and pan-Asian alternatives for mixed-preference cabins. A cold mezze board — labneh, roasted vegetables, house-made flatbread — travels particularly well at elevation and requires no reheating. For early departures out of AXU we build morning sets around spiced scrambled eggs, fresh fruit sourced from lower-altitude markets in the region, and pastry baked the same day. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice.
