What is the minimum lead time for an order at BCH?

We ask for as much notice as possible. For standard orders, 12 hours is a practical minimum. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours' lead time regardless of departure point.

Can you cater wide-body or larger aircraft at this airport?

The runway at Baucau supports mid-size and super-mid operations. For larger aircraft requiring high-loader service, please discuss your specific requirements with your dedicated contact when placing the order.

Do you provide crew meals separately from cabin catering?

Yes. Crew meals are ordered, packaged, and labelled independently of cabin catering. They can be matched to the cabin menu or specified separately — whichever the operator prefers.

Is there a closer hub if a last-minute order is needed?

Dili, approximately 97 kilometres from Baucau, serves as the primary logistics hub for Timor-Leste. For urgent or supplementary orders, our network can route through Dili to support BCH departures.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements such as vegan, halal, or gluten-free?

Yes. Vegan, halal, gluten-free, and other dietary requirements are handled as standard. Please specify at the time of ordering so sourcing and preparation can be confirmed without last-minute substitutions.

Who is my point of contact once an order is placed?

Every order at Altitude Dining is managed by a single named contact from placement through to delivery confirmation. You will not be passed between departments or call centres.

Inflight catering menu for Baucau

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenTimor-Leste

Hot main

Banana-Leaf Ikan Pepes

Fillet of fresh local fish steamed in banana leaf with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, and red chilli. Served at cabin temperature with a side of steamed jasmine rice and sliced cucumber.

Hot main

Batar Da'an

Traditional Timorese stew of dried maize, green beans, and pumpkin slow-cooked in a light coconut broth. A deeply regional preparation — substantial, aromatic, and unlike anything on a standard inflight catering menu.

Cold main

Chilled Prawn and Green Mango Salad

Poached tiger prawns with julienned green mango, toasted peanuts, and a dressing of palm sugar, fish sauce, and bird's eye chilli. Galley-ready in a chilled sealed container.

To start

Coconut-Cured Fish with Pickled Shallots

Thin-sliced white fish cured in fresh coconut cream with lime zest and turmeric, served alongside quick-pickled red shallots and a scatter of micro herbs. Clean, bright, and particular to this coastline.

Morning

Fresh Papaya Plate with Lime and Sea Salt

Ripe papaya from the Baucau plateau, sliced and arranged with a wedge of kaffir lime and a pinch of flaked sea salt. Served chilled — the simplest and most honest expression of the local larder.

Pâtisserie

Cassava and Coconut Cake

Dense, lightly sweetened cake of grated cassava bound with coconut milk and palm sugar, baked until just set. A regional pâtisserie staple that holds well across a long sector.

Inflight Catering · Baucau

Inflight catering for Baucau flights

Baucau sits on a plateau above the Banda Sea at nearly 1,800 feet, a position that shapes both the landscape and the larder beneath it. The surrounding highlands produce cassava, sweet potato, and fresh tropical fruit — ingredients that inform every menu we build for departures from BCH. The Timorese table is quietly distinctive: Portuguese colonial influence layered over Austronesian staples, with chilli, tamarind, and coconut threading through almost everything. We source with that character in mind, so Baucau private jet catering reflects the place rather than ignoring it.

Regional Catering Menu · Baucau

Baucau private jet catering

Timor-Leste's kitchen centres on a handful of defining preparations. Ikan pepes — fish parcelled in banana leaf with lemongrass, galangal, and lime — is the kind of dish that travels as well in a galley as it does on a family table. Batar da'an, a slow-cooked maize and green bean stew enriched with pumpkin, gives any menu a grounded, regional anchor that passengers rarely encounter on standard inflight catering menus. We complement these with cold preparations suited to longer sectors: chilled prawn salads dressed with palm sugar and bird's eye chilli, coconut-cured fish with pickled shallots, and fresh papaya arranged with lime and a pinch of sea salt — simple, precise, and entirely honest about where they come from.
