Which handler or FBO do you deliver to at NOS?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Nosy Be. Please confirm the handling agent at the time of order and we will coordinate directly with them to ensure galley-ready delivery at your required boarding time.

Can you source genuinely local produce rather than imported alternatives?

Yes. Nosy Be's own markets supply fresh seafood, tropical fruit, and the island's signature spices — vanilla, cloves, and cinnamon among them. Where local supply is at peak quality on your departure date, we use it; where it is not, we are transparent about substitutions rather than presenting imported ingredients as local.

Do you cater crew meals separately from the passenger cabin?

We do. Crew meals are ordered, packaged, and labelled independently of passenger service, with appropriate portion sizing and composition for operational duties. All items are galley-ready and clearly identified to avoid any confusion during service.

Can you support dietary requirements such as kosher, halal, vegan, or allergen-free menus?

All of those requirements are accommodated. Kosher orders require a confirmed 24-hour lead time. Halal, vegan, and allergen-conscious menus can be prepared within the standard advance-order window. Please specify requirements in full when placing your order so that nothing is assumed.

Is Altitude Dining available for early morning or late-night departures from Nosy Be?

Our operations desk runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whatever your departure slot, catering is timed to your block schedule and delivered ready for immediate loading, regardless of the hour.

Can you arrange catering for onward stops in the region, such as Antsiranana or Sambava?

Through our worldwide network we can coordinate inflight catering at regional airports beyond Nosy Be. Antsiranana and Sambava are among the northern Madagascar airports we can support. Lead times and availability at each stop should be confirmed with our operations team at the time of booking.

Inflight Catering · Nosy Be

Inflight catering in Nosy Be

Nosy Be sits in the Mozambique Channel off Madagascar's north-western coast, a volcanic island ringed by coral reefs and ylang-ylang plantations whose fragrance drifts across the airfield at dawn. The surrounding sea sustains some of the most biodiverse fishing grounds in the western Indian Ocean, placing exceptional seafood within reach of every flight departing NOS. The island's fertile interior produces vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves of genuine provenance — not commodity spice blends but single-origin aromatics that carry the soil of a specific hillside. Altitude Dining draws on these ingredients when composing menus for Nosy Be private jet catering, so every tray reflects the destination rather than a generic galley catalogue.

Regional Catering Menu · Nosy Be

Local sourcing for NOS

The catch that arrives each morning — bourgeois, wahoo, lobster, and reef octopus — dictates much of what we put on board. Our kitchen team works with local fishermen and market vendors to select what is truly at peak condition that day, ensuring aircraft catering from FMNN carries the honesty of a place with direct access to one of the world's great tropical fisheries. Spiced crab bisque, grilled whole langoustine with ginger-lime butter, and sashimi-grade tuna composed with pickled green mango are typical expressions of that philosophy. Beyond the sea, Madagascar's endemic vanilla — richer and more floral than its global imitators — anchors the sweeter side of our menus here. Pâtisserie made with bourbon vanilla pods sourced from the island's north-east, coconut-milk-based desserts finished with local cinnamon bark, and hand-rolled dark chocolate truffles using single-origin cocoa all translate the island's agricultural heritage into galley-ready confections worthy of the longest sector.
