Private jet menu for Zaqatala

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenAzerbaijan

Hot main
Saffron Lamb Piti
Slow-braised highland lamb with chickpeas, chestnuts, and saffron, portioned from individual clay-pot preparation and transferred into sealed aircraft-ready containers. A direct reference to the Zaqatala region's most distinctive hot dish.
Cold main
Azerbaijani Herb Pilaf
Aged long-grain rice cooked with a generous hand of fresh dill, coriander, and spring onion, finished with a thread of clarified butter. Served as a standalone cold main or as an accompaniment to the lamb.
To start
Smoked Aubergine with Walnut Paste
Fire-roasted aubergine pressed into a smooth purée, dressed with Caucasian walnut paste, pomegranate molasses, and flat-leaf parsley. A composed starter that travels well and opens the palate cleanly.
Morning
Hazelnut and Honey Morning Cake
A dense, lightly spiced loaf built around Zaqatala district hazelnuts — among the most prized in the region — with mountain honey and a restrained measure of cardamom. Suited to early departures.
Pâtisserie
Quince and Clotted Cream Tart
Slow-poached quince in a crisp shortcrust shell, finished with a small quenelle of clotted cream and a dusting of crushed pistachio. A composed dessert that reads as both regional and refined.
To finish
Dark Chocolate and Pomegranate Petit Fours
Single-origin dark chocolate shells with a pomegranate and rose reduction centre — a clean finish to any menu, packaged in a sealed box suitable for consumption at altitude.

Inflight Catering · Zaqatala

Private aviation catering at ZTU

Zaqatala sits in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus range in north-western Azerbaijan, a district long associated with hazelnut cultivation, aromatic herbs, and the slow-cooked lamb dishes of Avar and Azerbaijani highland tradition. That larder — robust, seasonal, and distinct from anything found in the capital — informs the regional selections we make available to crews and passengers flying through ZTU. The surrounding landscape reaches toward Ganja to the south-west and stretches across the border ridge toward Tbilisi. It is emphatically local in character, and we source accordingly: fresh produce gathered from the Zaqatala corridor reaches your galley without the delays and transit compromises that longer supply chains impose.

Regional Catering Menu · Zaqatala

Zaqatala inflight catering

Azerbaijani cuisine in this part of the country leans toward hearty mountain fare: slow-braised lamb with dried fruits and saffron, piti prepared in individual clay pots, and pilaf built on properly aged rice rather than the quick-steam approximations found in airline catering elsewhere. We translate these traditions into plated, aircraft-safe formats — portioned, chilled or hot-held correctly, and packed to survive a galley transfer at altitude. Beyond regional anchors, our kitchen composes full international menus to match any passenger brief: lean Japanese-influenced cold plates, classical European hot mains, and refined pâtisserie. Crew meals receive the same attention as the cabin — a separate, clearly labelled set that is nutritious, practical, and never an afterthought. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum twenty-four hours' notice.
