Which handlers do you deliver to at JAF?

We operate handler-agnostically at Jaffna and deliver to whichever ground handler is managing your aircraft. Please include the handler name when you place your order so we can coordinate access to the apron.

Can you source authentic Jaffna cuisine for a cabin meal?

Yes. We have established supplier relationships in the Jaffna peninsula and can prepare dishes built around local crab, reef fish, mutton curries and traditional accompaniments. Advance notice of at least 12 hours ensures the freshest local sourcing.

Do you cater for dietary requirements including kosher?

We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and a full range of allergy-led briefs on standard lead times. Kosher orders require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to maintain certification integrity.

What aircraft types does the Jaffna runway support?

The single asphalted runway at VCCJ measures 1,400 metres, which is suited to business jets, turboprops and light aircraft. Our galley packs are configured to match the cabin formats typical of these operations.

Can you cover nearby airports if we are routing through northern Sri Lanka?

Our network extends to other airports in the region. Operators routing through Anuradhapura or Trincomalee, for example, can arrange catering for multiple legs under a single order brief.

How far in advance should we place a Jaffna catering order?

We recommend a minimum of four hours for standard inflight catering. Bespoke menus featuring locally sourced Jaffna produce are best ordered 12–24 hours ahead. Kosher orders require at least 24 hours in all cases.

Jaffna private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenSri Lanka

Hot main

Jaffna Crab in Tamarind Gravy

Whole Sri Lankan mud crab cooked slowly in a dark gravy of tamarind, tomato, curry leaf and a dry-roasted Jaffna spice blend. Served with steamed basmati and a cooling coconut relish.

To start

Reef Fish Ceviche with Green Mango

Line-caught white fish from the northern waters, cured briefly in lime and tempered with green mango, shallot and a restrained chilli oil. Clean, bright and suited to a midday departure.

Hot main

Mutton Varuval with String Hoppers

Dry-fried mutton prepared in the northern Tamil style — intense with fennel, black pepper and kalpasi — accompanied by fine-woven string hoppers and a small pot of coconut milk sambal.

To finish

Palmyra Fruit and Cardamom Pannacotta

Set cream infused with green cardamom, finished with a palm-sugar caramel and a segment of fresh palmyra fruit — a subtle reference to the Jaffna peninsula's most iconic tree.

Morning

Coconut Roti with Seeni Sambol

Flaky flatbread enriched with fresh coconut, served warm alongside a slow-caramelised onion sambol spiked with dried chilli and Maldive fish. An ideal accompaniment to an early morning sector.

Cold main

Chilled Prawn and Drumstick Leaf Salad

Tiger prawns poached gently in spiced water, cooled and plated with drumstick leaves, roasted cashew and a tamarind-lime dressing. Light enough for a long afternoon flight without being insubstantial.

Inflight Catering · Jaffna

Private jet catering in Jaffna

Jaffna occupies a peninsula defined by lagoons, palmyra palms and a culinary tradition that stands apart from the rest of Sri Lanka. The Tamil kitchen here is built on bold spice, fresh seafood and the intense, nutty character of palmyra-derived ingredients — a larder that gives Jaffna catering a genuinely distinctive flavour profile. The region's fishing communities bring crab, prawn and a variety of reef fish to market daily, and the area's red onions, drumstick leaves and raw mango appear on virtually every table. Our sourcing relationships with northern Sri Lankan suppliers mean these ingredients move from market to galley pack with the speed the ramp demands.

Regional Catering Menu · Jaffna

Fresh catering for Jaffna flights

Jaffna's signature dishes are built around slow-cooked crabs in a dark, tamarind-laced gravy, mutton prepared with a spice blend quite different from southern Sri Lankan curries, and a style of string hopper that is lighter and finer than its counterparts elsewhere on the island. For passengers who want a sense of place at altitude, these are the natural starting point for a bespoke menu. We also produce a full international selection — chilled canapés, contemporary Western mains, dietary alternatives and a structured pâtisserie range — so a mixed-nationality cabin can be served from a single coherent brief. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time.
