Which FBOs and handlers at CMB can you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at CMB — no prior account or pre-registration is required. Provide your handler, stand, and departure window when you place the order; we coordinate access and timing from there.

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

Yes — same-day and last-minute requests are part of normal operations at Colombo. We confirm every order in under 10 minutes and work to the tightest departure windows the ramp allows. Contact us as early as possible for complex dietary builds or large passenger numbers, but do not assume a same-day order cannot be fulfilled.

How are crew meals handled at Colombo?

Crew meals are included in the main uplift order for any CMB departure and are priced for operators. We build them for the rotation — balanced, properly sealed, and clearly labelled — not as a reduced version of the passenger menu. Specify crew number and any dietary requirements alongside your main catering request.

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

Yes. Halal options are readily available given the local supply context in Colombo. Vegan and vegetarian menus draw naturally on Sri Lanka's plant-forward kitchen. Gluten-free and allergen-specific builds are available on every order. Kosher catering at CMB requires a minimum 24 hours' lead time — note the requirement clearly when you place the order.

How do I place an order for a CMB departure?

Send your request through the Altitude Dining order form or contact your coordinator directly. Include the departure date, aircraft type, passenger and crew numbers, any dietary requirements, and your handler or stand at VCBI. You receive confirmation in under 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.

What does catering at CMB cost?

Pricing is per order and depends on menu selection, passenger and crew numbers, lead time, and any specialist dietary requirements. We do not publish a rate card — we send a quote in under 10 minutes once we have your request details. There are no hidden fees for ramp delivery or handler coordination at Colombo.

Inflight Catering · Colombo

Inflight catering in Colombo

Colombo sits at the centre of one of Asia's most distinctive food cultures, shaped by centuries of spice trade and coastal abundance. The markets around Pettah and Wellawatte move daily consignments of freshly grated coconut, pandan leaf, goraka, and raw turmeric — ingredients that define the island's kitchen and travel well into a galley context when properly handled. The southern and western coasts bring seer fish, crab, and jumbo prawns to the city within hours of the catch; the hill country above Kandy supplies single-estate tea and seasonal tropical produce that reaches Colombo the same morning. For departures from VCBI, we source through established Colombo-based suppliers whose quality standards hold for the cabin as readily as for the best tables in Colombo 3 and Colombo 7. The result is food that is recognisably Sri Lankan in character — aromatic, precise, built around real provenance — rather than a generic tropical menu that could be loaded anywhere in the region.

Regional Catering Menu · Colombo

Local sourcing for CMB

The most transferable elements of Sri Lanka's larder into a private cabin include pol roti made fresh with scraped coconut and green chilli; devilled prawns from the western coast; a restrained yellow dhal tempered with curry leaf and mustard seed; and lamprais — the Dutch-Burgher composite of rice, pickle, and slow-cooked meat sealed in a banana leaf, which holds temperature and structure well in a galley. For lighter service, fresh king coconut, wood apple cream, and wattalappam — a jaggery-set custard steamed in coconut milk — offer a Sri Lankan signature without the complexity of a full hot meal. Single-estate teas from Nuwara Eliya or Dimbula are the natural beverage pairing, served with the same care expected in any fine cabin.
