Which handler should I specify for delivery?

Arivonimamo does not have a single named handler on record. When you place your order, simply confirm which operator or handling agent is managing your turn, and we will coordinate delivery directly with them.

Can you source fresh Malagasy produce for a flight departing early morning?

Yes. With Antananarivo's markets 41 kilometres away, our team can collect fresh produce — local vegetables, zebu, tropical fruits — early in the morning for a mid-morning or midday departure. We confirm cut-off times at the point of order.

Does the high elevation at Arivonimamo affect how food is prepared or packaged?

Elevation influences both cooking temperatures and perceived flavour at altitude. Our kitchen adjusts seasoning and preparation accordingly, and all packaging is sealed for the ambient thermal conditions of the plateau before ground delivery.

Do you provide crew meals as well as passenger catering?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. They can be specified separately in terms of portion size, dietary requirements and timing, ensuring the flight crew is as well looked after as the cabin.

What happens if my departure time changes after I have placed an order?

Contact your dedicated point of contact immediately. We hold orders in temperature-controlled conditions and can adjust delivery scheduling in most cases, provided we receive sufficient notice before the originally agreed handover time.

Can Altitude Dining cater a connecting itinerary that also passes through Antananarivo?

Yes. Our network covers Ivato International at Antananarivo as well as regional airports across Madagascar including Toamasina, Fianarantsoa and beyond. A single order can be structured across multiple legs with coordinated delivery at each stop.

Inflight catering menu for Arivonimamo

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenMadagascar

Cold main

Zebu Tenderloin with Tamarind & Plateau Cress

Thinly sliced cold zebu tenderloin, rested and chilled, served over highland watercress with a dressing of tamarind pulp, toasted sesame and a few drops of local ginger extract. Clean, protein-forward and travels exceptionally well.

To start

Romazava-Inspired Consommé with Brèdes

A clear, deeply flavoured broth built on zebu bone and aromatic brèdes leaves, finished with voanjobory bean purée quenelles. A restrained homage to Madagascar's national dish, adapted for galley reheating.

Hot main

Braised Zebu Short Rib with Red Rice & Ginger Jus

Slow-braised short rib in a reduction of tomato, fresh ginger and wild pepper, accompanied by Madagascar's characteristic red rice pressed into a neat terrine slice. Robust at altitude and reheats without loss of texture.

Pâtisserie

Vanilla & Raw Cane Caramel Mille-Feuille

Crisp pastry layered with crème diplomate scented with Malagasy Bourbon vanilla and a ribbon of dark caramel made from unrefined Malagasy cane sugar. Assembled to order and packaged flat for cabin service.

To finish

Plateau Fruit Plate with Coconut & Lemongrass

Seasonal tropical fruits — mango, papaya and finger banana — dressed lightly with fresh coconut water, lemongrass syrup and lime zest. A clean, refreshing close to any meal that reflects the island's natural larder.

Morning

Artisan Chocolate & Ylang-Ylang Morning Pastries

A selection of viennoiserie incorporating Antananarivo artisan dark chocolate and a subtle ylang-ylang infusion in the butter dough. Baked the same morning, chilled and delivered in sealed galley boxes for early departures.

Inflight catering for Arivonimamo flights

Arivonimamo sits on the Hauts Plateaux, the cool, fertile spine of Madagascar where market gardens produce exceptional vanilla, aromatic zebu cuts, fresh tropical fruits and the island's distinctive red rice. Antananarivo's central markets are close enough that our sourcing team can draw on them the same morning your order is prepared. Madagascar's culinary identity is quietly extraordinary — romazava broths built on voanjobory beans and leafy brèdes, grilled zebu seasoned with ginger and wild pepper, and desserts scented with ylang-ylang and coconut. We translate those flavours into refined, travel-ready dishes that carry the character of the island rather than a generic approximation of it.

Regional Catering Menu · Arivonimamo

Arivonimamo private jet catering

Our kitchen team develops each order around Madagascar's seasonal larder. Zebu tenderloin features regularly — slow-braised with tomato and fresh ginger, or sliced cold over a cress salad with a tamarind dressing. Local lobster tails sourced via Antananarivo's specialist traders and delicate freshwater crayfish from the plateau rivers offer an alternative centrepiece when lead times permit. Pâtisserie draws on the island's vanilla — among the finest grown anywhere — alongside caramel made with raw Malagasy cane sugar and dark chocolate produced by Antananarivo's artisan chocolatiers. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time, and all dietary profiles, from plant-based to allergen-specific, are handled through a single point of contact available around the clock.
