The chef's menu at BCO

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenEthiopia

Hot main
Tej-glazed highland lamb ribs
Slow-cooked bone-in lamb ribs finished with a reduction of Ethiopian honey wine and niter kibbeh spiced butter, served with a teff flatbread and a small pot of mitmita salt.
To start
Spiced red lentil wot with injera crisps
A deeply flavoured berbere-spiced lentil preparation, cooled to room temperature and portioned into a sealed ceramic dish, accompanied by oven-crisped injera rounds for texture.
Cold main
Rift Valley tilapia salad
Cold-poached freshwater tilapia from the Arba Minch lakes region, flaked over a grain salad of toasted sorghum, cucumber, preserved lemon, and a herb oil dressing.
Morning
Enset and potato frittata
A highland-inflected morning frittata made with cooked enset, waxy potato, caramelised shallot, and a whisper of turmeric — portioned and sealed for easy galley reheating.
Pâtisserie
Wild honey and cardamom cake
A dense, moist loaf sweetened entirely with Ethiopian wild honey and perfumed with green cardamom, finished with a thin honey glaze and wrapped individually for the cabin.
To finish
Dark chocolate with coffee-salt and nibs
Hand-tempered single-origin Ethiopian dark chocolate tablets finished with coarse Yirgacheffe coffee salt and roasted cacao nibs — a fitting close to any menu built in this region.

Inflight Catering · Jinka

Jinka private jet catering

Jinka sits at roughly 4,300 feet in the southern Ethiopian highlands, serving as the practical gateway to the Omo Valley and its communities — among them the Mursi, Ari, and Banna peoples whose traditions draw researchers, documentary crews, and conservation expeditions from across the world. The surrounding region produces sorghum, enset, and wild honey that speak directly to the highland agricultural rhythms of this part of Africa. For Altitude Dining, proximity to Arba Minch — some 118 kilometres to the north-east — extends our sourcing reach into the Rift Valley lakes region, where freshwater fish, tropical fruits, and market-garden produce can be consolidated with highland ingredients and delivered as a coherent, place-specific menu aboard your aircraft.

Regional Catering Menu · Jinka

Inflight catering menu for Jinka

Ethiopian highland cuisine rewards those who lean into it rather than around it. Tej — a refined honey wine — alongside tej-glazed lamb ribs, injera with slow-braised tibs, and spiced lentil wots give a sense of what this corridor of the country does best. Our culinary team translates these into galley-ready formats that hold temperature, texture, and integrity at altitude without compromise. For principals who prefer a lighter international register, we build menus around what the region genuinely offers: grain-fed poultry, legume-based salads brightened with berbere vinaigrette, and honey-sweetened pâtisserie that references local flavour without becoming a culinary caricature. Every order placed for BCO is treated as bespoke — a single point of contact handles specification, logistics, and any dietary requirements from first brief to planeside handover.
