Which FBOs and handlers at MPM can you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at MPM — no prior account, no limitation by zone. Provide your handler and stand details at the time of order and we coordinate access and timing directly.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at MPM?

Yes. Maputo's general-aviation traffic pattern makes same-day orders routine. Send your request and we confirm within 10 minutes — 24/7 — with a realistic delivery window based on your departure slot at MPM.

How are crew meals handled at Maputo?

Crew meals at Maputo are planned as a separate line, not assembled from passenger leftovers. We build them to the sector length and crew rotation, properly packed and labeled, loaded at MPM with the main order. Pricing is set for operators running regular rotations through the field.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian, and allergy requirements at MPM?

Yes — halal, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available on every order at MPM. Kosher orders require 24 hours' lead time and must be noted at the time of request. List all dietary and allergen requirements in your initial request so the menu is built correctly from the outset.

How do I place an order for an MPM departure?

Send your request through the website or directly to your coordinator — include departure date, passenger count, any crew meal requirement, and dietary notes. We confirm the menu and delivery window within 10 minutes. For in-flight catering at Maputo, earlier notice gives more sourcing options, but same-day requests are handled routinely.

What does catering at MPM cost?

Pricing is per order and depends on menu selection, passenger count, lead time, and any specialist dietary requirements. There is no standard rate card. Send your brief and we return a quote in under 10 minutes — no commitment required at that stage.

Inflight Catering · Maputo

Maputo private jet catering

The city's central market, Mercado Central, pulls in fresh piri-piri, coconut, cassava leaf, and the morning's catch from Maputo Bay — prawns, garlic crab, red snapper — before most crews have filed their flight plans. That produce reaches galleys the same day it reaches the stall. Catering out of MPM is built around this proximity: genuinely local sourcing, not product flown in from Johannesburg and rebranded. Mozambican cuisine carries Portuguese, Arab, and Swahili threads that translate well to cabin service. Matapa — cassava leaf slow-cooked with groundnuts and coconut milk — travels in insulated containers without compromise. Grilled langoustines from the bay, camarão à Mozambicana, hold their character at altitude when plated correctly and chilled for the galley. These are dishes with a genuine address, not generic 'African-inspired' offerings.

Regional Catering Menu · Maputo

Inflight catering menu for Maputo

Maputo Bay prawns are the headline ingredient here — large, sweet, and available daily through the coastal wholesale market. We prepare them grilled, in piri-piri butter, or chilled with a citrus dressing suited to a cold entrée course. Alongside seafood, *matapa* and *caril de caranguejo* (Mozambican crab curry with coconut) offer distinctive warm options that hold well in a wide-body galley. For lighter service, fresh tropical fruit — mango, papaya, and baobab — from the Maputo valley rounds out a breakfast or mid-flight snack course that passengers at FQMA departures consistently request.
