Can you source genuine local Malagasy produce for our flight?

Yes. Vanilla, fresh seafood, zebu beef, tropical fruit, and regional spices are all available through our local supplier network. Lead time permitting, we prioritise produce harvested or landed as close to your departure day as possible.

Which handler or FBO will receive our catering delivery?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Sambava. Share the handling details at the time of order and we coordinate directly with them to ensure planeside delivery at the right time.

Is kosher catering available at Sambava?

Kosher meals can be arranged but require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to allow for certified preparation and appropriate transport to the airfield.

We are routing onward to Nosy Be or Antsiranana — can you cater the full itinerary?

Yes. Through our regional network we can arrange uplift at Sambava for the onward sector, or coordinate separate catering at subsequent stops including Nosy Be and Antsiranana. A single point of contact manages the full sequence.

What aircraft types can be catered at Sambava?

The runway length is best suited to light jets and turboprops, and our galley-ready delivery is sized accordingly. If your operation brings a larger cabin aircraft into Sambava, contact us in advance and we will confirm whether high-loader support is available through local ground services.

Do you provide crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Absolutely. Crew meals are handled as a dedicated line on every order — packed, labelled, and separated from the passenger service so nothing is misplaced during boarding.

Sambava private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenMadagascar

To start

Sambava Vanilla and Crab Velouté

A chilled bisque built on fresh Indian Ocean crab, finished with an infusion of local black vanilla pod. Served in a sealed jar with a side of toasted brioche.

Hot main

Reef Fish en Papillote with Coconut and Ginger

Locally landed white fish wrapped with fresh coconut cream, ginger, and lime leaf. Prepared to finish gently in the galley oven, arriving at table moist and fragrant.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Zebu with Clove Jus and Cassava Purée

Zebu beef braised for several hours with cloves, bay, and a touch of Malagasy pepper, served over silky cassava purée. A regional centrepiece suited to longer sectors.

Cold-poached lobster tail dressed with a light tamarind and lime vinaigrette, paired with julienned green mango and fresh coriander. Galley-ready and chilled to serve.

Pâtisserie

Inflight Catering · Sambava

Private jet catering in Sambava

The land around Sambava produces some of the finest vanilla on earth — the same pods that define premium pastry kitchens from Paris to Tokyo are harvested within a short drive of the airfield. Our sourcing team draws on this directly, working with regional suppliers to bring genuinely local flavour aboard before your departure. Sambava is a working agricultural town, not a resort hub, and that distinction shapes everything we do here. Zebu, fresh-caught Indian Ocean fish, cassava, coconut, and the aromatic spices of the SAVA region form the backbone of a cuisine that is earthy, vivid, and completely its own.

Regional Catering Menu · Sambava

Fresh catering for Sambava flights

Sambava private jet catering leans into the SAVA region's extraordinary larder. Vanilla — both the classic black pod and the rarer red variety — appears not only in pâtisserie but in savoury preparations: cream sauces, marinades, and cold starters that surprise passengers accustomed to more familiar inflight menus. Seafood from the bay arrives the same morning it is prepared, and Malagasy crab, lobster, and reef fish are presented in both European and traditional preparations on request. Zebu beef, slow-cooked and gently spiced with ginger and cloves, offers an anchor dish that is deeply regional and genuinely memorable. Aircraft catering here is not a replica of what you might receive elsewhere — it reflects exactly where you are.
