How quickly can Altitude Dining respond to a catering enquiry?

We respond to every new enquiry within ten minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Short-notice requests are handled on the same basis — contact us directly and we will confirm feasibility immediately.

Which handler or FBO should I nominate when placing an order?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Ratmalana. Simply confirm the handler's name and stand when you brief us and we will coordinate the delivery directly with them.

Can you accommodate halal requirements for flights departing Colombo?

Yes. Halal catering is available as standard from our Colombo operation and does not require extended lead time beyond our normal order window.

What lead time is needed for kosher catering at RML?

Kosher orders require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to allow for full certified chain-of-custody preparation and delivery. Please brief us as early as possible for multi-course or large-party requirements.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger meals?

We do. Crew meals are briefed, priced, and packed separately from the passenger order, with practical, sustaining options designed for operational schedules rather than formal service.

Can Altitude Dining support an itinerary that moves between Ratmalana and other Sri Lankan airports?

Yes. Our network covers Colombo's main international gateway as well as regional airfields including those serving Jaffna and Trincomalee. A single point of contact manages the full itinerary regardless of how many legs are involved.

Colombo private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenSri Lanka

To start

Seerffish Crudo with Kithul and Lime

Thinly sliced fresh seerffish dressed with kithul treacle, fresh lime juice, green chilli, and a scatter of toasted curry leaf. Served cold with a small crisp of rice flour.

To start

Chilled Lemongrass and Coconut Broth with King Prawn

A clear, fragrant broth set lightly with agar, served at cool room temperature around a single poached Colombo-coast king prawn and a curl of fresh coconut.

Cold main

Grain Salad with Roasted Jackfruit and Tamarind Dressing

Red rice, slow-roasted young jackfruit, pickled shallot, fresh coriander, and a tamarind-black pepper dressing. Travels exceptionally well and holds its texture in the cabin.

Hot main

Slow-Cooked Dhal with Tempered Mustard and Flatbread

Red lentils cooked down with turmeric and goraka, finished tableside with a hot mustard-seed and curry-leaf temper. Accompanied by a roti pressed and sealed for reheating.

To finish

Ceylon Cinnamon Crème Brûlée

A classic set custard infused with hand-harvested true cinnamon from the Colombo highlands, delivered in a sealed ramekin ready to finish under the cabin's broiler or served as-is.

Pâtisserie

Coconut and Cardamom Morning Cake

A lightly sweetened loaf built on desiccated coconut, ground cardamom, and a touch of palm sugar. Baked each morning and sliced for individual cabin service.

Private jet catering in Colombo

Ratmalana sits at the southern edge of Greater Colombo, placing it within reach of a city whose culinary geography is genuinely remarkable. The Pettah market district and the fishing quays at Negombo supply ingredients that move quickly from source to service — king prawns, jackfruit, fresh turmeric root, and hand-harvested Ceylon cinnamon among them. The broader island extends that larder considerably. The central highlands produce some of the world's most nuanced single-origin teas, while the coastal belt yields yellowfin tuna and seerffish with a freshness that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Altitude Dining sources deliberately within this network, building menus that carry a genuine sense of place rather than a generic international hotel register.

Regional Catering Menu · Colombo

Fresh catering for Colombo flights

Sri Lankan cuisine rewards careful translation to the cabin. We work with its layered spice logic — black pepper, pandan, goraka, curry leaf — without overwhelming passengers unaccustomed to the cuisine's intensity. A chilled kottu-inspired grain salad, a restrained mulligatawny consommé, or a slow-cooked dhal finished with tempered mustard seed can each sit comfortably alongside more familiar European preparations on the same menu. For those who prefer a lighter, more international profile, Colombo's position as a transit hub means there is equal demand for clean, produce-forward menus: herb-crusted fish, charcuterie sourced from established European suppliers we air-freight to our kitchen, and pâtisserie built in-house each morning. Dietary requirements — including halal, vegetarian, and vegan — are accommodated as standard. Kosher orders are fulfilled with full chain-of-custody compliance and require a minimum of 24 hours' notice.
