Which handler or FBO will you deliver to at Horta?

We deliver to whichever handler is holding your aircraft on the day. Simply provide the handler's name and aircraft details when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you cater connecting legs across other Azorean airports on the same trip?

Yes. We handle multi-leg provisioning across the archipelago — including Pico, Terceira, and Ponta Delgada — through a single point of contact, so crew and passengers receive consistent, coordinated catering on each sector.

Is fresh local produce reliably available on Faial?

Faial and the surrounding islands produce line-caught tuna, local cheeses, cured meats, citrus, and Pico volcanic-soil wines. Availability is seasonal and subject to fishing conditions; we confirm what is in supply when you place your order.

Do you provide kosher meals at Horta?

Kosher meals are available but require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to allow for certified preparation and transport to the island. Please specify this requirement clearly when placing your order.

What meal formats work best for the aircraft types typically operating through Horta?

Light and mid-size cabin configurations are most common at this airport. We pack all orders in compact, galley-ready boxes sized for smaller galleys and underseat stowage, with chilled and ambient items clearly separated.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements beyond kosher — for example, vegan or gluten-free menus?

Yes. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other dietary requirements are handled as standard. Please note any requirements at the time of ordering so we can source and prepare accordingly from local supply.

Private jet catering menu for Horta

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPortugal

To start

Pole-and-Line Tuna with Cebola Roxa

Seared yellowfin loin from Faial day boats, served at cabin temperature with shaved sweet red onion, capers, and a light olive oil dressing. Portioned and sealed for individual galley service.

Cold main

Braised Octopus with Bay and Pico Wine

Slow-braised Azorean octopus, chilled and sliced, with a dressing of local white wine vinegar and bay-infused olive oil. A composed cold plate that reflects the character of the mid-Atlantic.

To finish

Queijo do Faial and Linguiça Board

A chilled selection of Faial semi-soft cow's milk cheese and smoked Azorean linguiça, accompanied by island honey and dense rye crackers. Portioned for two or four as a cabin sharing course.

Freshly baked Azorean bread rolls packed warm and insulated, with cultured butter from Faial's dairy herds. A simple, precise morning provision for early departures.

Pâtisserie

Dona Amélia and Citrus Preserve

The classic enriched biscuit from Terceira, paired with cold-pressed citrus preserve from Faial orchards when in season. An edible note on the archipelago's baking tradition.

Inflight Catering · Horta

Inflight catering in Horta

Horta is a port town shaped by centuries of transatlantic seafarers: whalers, aviators, and ocean-crossing yachtsmen have all reprovisioned on this volcanic island. That maritime character runs through its food culture — line-caught tuna landed within hours, percebes prised from black basalt shorelines, and dairy from Faial's own pastures, kept impossibly green by Atlantic rain. For a crew or passenger order placed from mid-ocean, there are few more fitting larders. The surrounding islands amplify that larder considerably. Pico, visible across the channel some 24 kilometres to the south, contributes aged volcanic-soil wines of singular mineral intensity alongside its own catch. São Jorge, Graciosa, and Terceira each add distinct cheeses, cured meats, and preserves. When we build a menu for a Horta departure, the archipelago itself becomes the ingredient list.

Regional Catering Menu · Horta

Local sourcing for HOR

The Azores are one of Europe's last places where yellowfin and bigeye tuna are still caught by pole-and-line day boats, making the fish on your tray genuinely traceable. We work with local suppliers to source cebola roxa — the sweet red onion grown on Faial — smoked linguiça, and queijo do Faial, a semi-soft cow's milk cheese that travels well in a chilled galley box. Octopus braised with bay leaf and local wine, served cold and sliced, makes a composed starter that speaks precisely to where the aircraft has been. For morning departures, Azorean breads baked overnight — papo-secos and the enriched Dona Amélia biscuit from Terceira — sit alongside fresh fruit from island orchards. Pico's DOC wines are available for cabin service in both white and red expressions, and we can include cold-pressed juices from Faial's citrus groves when seasonal supply allows. Every element is sourced, chilled, and packed to galley-ready standard before it leaves the island.
