Which FBOs and handlers at ALA can you deliver to?

We deliver planeside to Tarlan Aero and to any other handler holding your aircraft at ALA. No prior account with us is required — note your handler when you place the order and we coordinate directly with them. If your handling arrangements change close to departure, contact your coordinator immediately and we will adjust.

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

Yes. Same-day requests are part of normal operations at Almaty, and we confirm availability within 10 minutes of your request around the clock. Menu scope may narrow for very short lead times, but core options — including hot mains, cold plates, and crew meals — remain available. The earlier you send the request, the more we can do.

How are crew meals handled at Almaty?

Crew meals for ALA departures are produced to the same kitchen standard as passenger catering — not treated as a secondary order. They are packaged for galley storage and labelled clearly, loaded with the main order. Pricing is structured for operators running scheduled rotations out of Almaty, not one-off uplift rates.

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

Halal options are straightforward at ALA given local supply chains, and vegetarian and vegan menus are available on every order. Gluten-free preparation is handled with appropriate kitchen separation. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours' lead time — note the requirement at the time of your request so we can confirm sourcing. List all dietary requirements in your initial order.

How do I place an order for an ALA departure?

Send your request through the order form or contact us directly — include your departure date, estimated wheels-up time, passenger count, and any dietary requirements. A coordinator responds within 10 minutes with confirmation or clarifying questions. For crew meals, note the rotation and crew count separately so we package and label correctly.

What does catering at ALA cost?

Pricing at Almaty is calculated per order based on menu selection, passenger and crew count, lead time, and any specialist dietary requirements such as kosher. There is no published rate card — we quote against the specific request. Send your details and we confirm a price within 10 minutes.

Almaty private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenKazakhstan

Morning

Tian Shan honey and kurt board

Wild mountain honey from Almaty-region apiaries, pressed dried kurt, walnuts, and lavash — a clean, protein-led start before a long sector.

To start

Smoked river fish with pickled wild garlic

Tian Shan-fed river fish, cold-smoked locally, with the region's foraged wild garlic and a light dill dressing.

Cold main

Composed lamb and apricot plate

Sliced steppe-raised lamb, dried Almaty apricots, toasted walnuts, fresh herbs — travels well, no reheating required.

Hot main

Braised lamb shoulder with flat pasta

Slow-cooked Kazakh steppe lamb, hand-rolled noodles, caramelised onion broth — a cabin-adapted beshbarmak built for long sectors.

Pâtisserie

Baked lamb samsa

Spiced pasture-raised lamb and onion in a short, layered pastry — baked to order, galley-ready, holds well through service.

Cold main

Almaty apple and aged cheese plate

Sliced heritage apples from the orchards that gave the city its name, paired with local aged cheese and buckwheat honey.

Inflight Catering · Almaty

Private jet catering in Almaty

Kazakhstan's culinary tradition is built around the steppe and the mountain pasture, and Almaty is where that tradition meets a genuinely cosmopolitan food scene. The city's Green Bazaar — Zöldý Bazar — is one of Central Asia's great produce markets: a daily source of kurt (dried salted cheese pressed into rounds), wild mountain honey from Tian Shan apiaries, and dried apricots and walnuts that come down from the foothills with a flavour nothing like their shelf-stable counterparts. That proximity matters for what boards at ALA. We source from the same supply chains that supply Almaty's better restaurants — Almaty-region apples, for which the city is historically named, alongside lamb from the surrounding steppe raised on open pasture. The result is a cabin meal that is grounded in where you actually are, not a generic catering menu shipped in from elsewhere.

Regional Catering Menu · Almaty

Fresh catering for Almaty flights

The centrepiece of Kazakh hospitality is beshbarmak — slow-cooked steppe lamb or horse meat served over wide flat noodles — and while the full communal version is a table dish, its components translate cleanly into a composed cabin plate: braised lamb shoulder, hand-rolled pasta, a clear onion broth on the side. Samsa, the baked pastry filled with spiced lamb and onion, travels well and suits a mid-flight service. For lighter options, the region's smoked and dried fish — particularly the freshwater species coming down from rivers fed by Tian Shan snowmelt — provides a cold-plate element with genuine local character. Almaty-grown herbs and the area's celebrated wild garlic round out composed starters without the need to import anything.
