What notice period is recommended for a full catering uplift at Mangla?

For standard menus, twelve hours is comfortable. For bespoke requests — regional specialties, large passenger numbers, or complex dietary requirements — twenty-four hours gives our kitchen and sourcing team the margin to deliver without compromise.

Can you accommodate Kosher catering at this airport?

Yes. Kosher meals require a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice to ensure certified preparation and unbroken seal integrity through to the cabin.

Which FBO or handler do you deliver to at Mangla?

We are handler-agnostic at this location. Confirm the name and ramp position of your handling agent when you place the order and we will coordinate delivery directly with them.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger meals?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged, labelled, and stored separately from passenger catering as a matter of standard procedure, making galley organisation straightforward for the cabin crew on board.

Can you source authentic Punjabi ingredients for an in-cabin dinner?

Our supply network reaches into the Punjab agricultural belt and into Sialkot and Lahore for specialist items. Regional dishes — prepared to professional kitchen standards — are available as part of a bespoke menu build.

What happens if my departure time changes after the order is confirmed?

Notify your single point of contact as early as possible. We maintain 24/7 operations and will adjust production and delivery scheduling to protect food quality and temperature compliance up to the revised departure time.

The chef's menu at XJM

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPakistan

Hot main

Daal Makhani & Tandoori Naan

Black lentils simmered overnight with tomato, butter, and a restrained hand of spice — a Punjabi staple elevated to cabin service, portioned in a sealed ramekin with a cloth-wrapped round of tandoori naan.

Cold main

Seekh Kebab Plate with Mint Raita

Hand-minced beef and lamb seekh kebabs, seasoned with dried pomegranate, cumin, and green chilli, served cold with a chilled mint-yoghurt raita and a wedge of lemon — clean, portable, genuinely Punjabi.

Morning

Spiced Omelette with Fresh Paratha

A desi-style omelette folded with red onion, green chilli, and coriander, paired with a layered paratha — a morning staple across the Punjab plains, adapted for in-cabin service at altitude.

Hot main

Lahori Chicken Karahi

Bone-in chicken cooked down in a reduction of tomato, ginger, and whole spices — a northern classic transferred into a galley-safe container, ready to reheat and serve with basmati rice.

To finish

Gajar Halwa Tartlet

Slow-cooked carrot halwa — sweetened with sugar, enriched with ghee and cardamom — set inside a crisp shortcrust shell and garnished with a single pistachio sliver. Pakistan's most enduring confection, in a single bite.

To start

Smoked Aubergine & Pomegranate Caviar

Flame-roasted aubergine blended with tahini and finished with a scattering of fresh pomegranate seeds and a thread of cold-pressed mustard oil — a composed first course that travels without compromise.

Inflight Catering · Mangla

Mangla private jet catering

The garrison town of Mangla occupies a disciplined corner of Punjab, defined by the vast Mangla Dam reservoir and the ordered rhythms of a military cantonment. It is not a city of grand restaurants or hotel kitchens, but its proximity to the agricultural heartland of Pakistan means the broader region produces some of the country's finest wheat, mustard greens, and river fish. Our sourcing team draws on that supply chain to bring genuine regional character to the cabin. Sialkot, roughly ninety kilometres to the north-east, is Pakistan's sporting-goods capital and a city of considerable commercial energy. Lahore, the cultural capital of Punjab, lies within reach further south. Both cities provide access to specialist suppliers — dry-aged beef, artisan dairy, handmade mithai — that our logistics network can consolidate and route directly to the aircraft, maintaining cold-chain integrity from kitchen to galley.

Regional Catering Menu · Mangla

Inflight catering menu for Mangla

Punjabi cuisine at its best is an exercise in confident restraint: slow-cooked daal makhani enriched over hours rather than minutes, tender seekh kebabs seasoned with dried pomegranate seed and fresh ginger, and roomali roti so thin it folds like cloth. We translate these traditions into cabin-appropriate formats — portioned cleanly, wrapped for altitude, and plated to the standard your passengers expect from Altitude Dining inflight catering. For passengers who prefer a continental or international menu, our kitchen produces composed cold plates, charcuterie selections, and hot main courses suited to the galley reheating equipment on board. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum twenty-four hours' notice. All aircraft catering leaving our production facility is labelled, temperature-logged, and cleared for direct galley loading on arrival at Mangla.
