Which handler or FBO will you deliver to at PIX?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the day. Simply confirm the handling agent when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them for a seamless ramp-side handover.

Can you source genuinely local Azorean produce for a flight departing Pico?

Yes. We work with suppliers on Pico and, where necessary, across to Faial — just 24 kilometres away — to source island wines, aged cheeses, fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables for your galley.

Do you cater crew meals as well as passenger orders?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. We prepare them to the same hygiene and presentation standards as passenger service, packaged separately for easy galley management.

Is kosher catering available at Pico Island?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum 24-hour lead time. Please specify requirements at the time of booking so we can source certified preparation and maintain the appropriate handling chain.

Can you coordinate catering across multiple Azorean stops on the same itinerary?

Absolutely. A single point of contact manages your entire trip, whether that covers Pico alongside Horta, Velas, Praia da Vitória, or Ponta Delgada — with consistent standards at every location.

What packaging format is used for galley-ready delivery on smaller aircraft?

All items are portioned, labelled, and chilled or hot-held in formats suited to the galley configuration of your aircraft. We confirm packaging specifics when you provide your aircraft details at the time of order.

Pico Island private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPortugal

To start

Pico Verdelho-Cured Bluefin

Thinly sliced Atlantic bluefin cured briefly in local Verdelho wine, served with pickled sea fennel and a drizzle of first-press Azorean olive oil.

To start

Queijo do Pico with Volcanic Honeycomb

Wedges of aged Pico cow's-milk cheese paired with dark island honey and toasted sourdough, portioned for effortless in-flight service.

Cold main

Chilled Wreckfish with Lemon Herb Dressing

Poached Atlantic wreckfish fillet served cold over a fine herb salad with a sharp lemon and caper vinaigrette — structured enough to hold well at altitude.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Pico Beef with Caldo Verde Reduction

Free-range Pico island beef, braised for six hours and finished with a kale-and-potato reduction drawing on the classic caldo verde tradition.

Pâtisserie

Azorean Pastel de Nata with Cinnamon Sugar

Individual custard tarts prepared in the Azorean style — slightly deeper set than the Lisbon original, dusted with cinnamon and packaged to travel without losing their crisp shell.

Morning

Atlantic Smoked Sardine Toast

Island-smoked sardine fillets on thin rye toast with a light cream cheese spread and micro herbs — a precise, unfussy morning bite before an early departure.

Inflight Catering · Pico Island

Private jet catering in Pico Island

Pico is unlike anywhere else in the Azores. The island's volcanic soil produces some of Portugal's most distinctive wines — the Pico Verdelho, grown in centuries-old lava-rock corrals and granted UNESCO recognition, is a natural centrepiece for any serious galley selection. Paired with the island's aged cheeses and locally landed tuna, a Pico departure can be one of the most genuinely regional inflight experiences we compose. The surrounding mid-Atlantic waters dictate the menu in the best possible way. Bluefin tuna, limpets, and sperm-whale-watching territory — the island lives by the ocean, and so does its larder. We work with trusted local suppliers across Pico and the neighbouring islands, including connections near Horta on Faial, just 24 kilometres away, to bring the freshest catch and produce aboard before your wheels leave the runway.

Regional Catering Menu · Pico Island

Fresh catering for Pico Island flights

Aircraft catering here draws on an Azorean pantry that rewards restraint. We build menus around Pico's volcanic wines and aged queijo do Pico — a semi-soft, buttery cow's-milk cheese that travels remarkably well in chilled galley storage. Smoked sausages, slow-braised beef from the island's free-ranging cattle, and the ubiquitous caldo verde reimagined as an elegant pre-departure soup are among the compositions our kitchen team prepares to order. For guests seeking lighter fare, the Atlantic offers sardines, barnacles, and wreckfish that translate beautifully into cold starters and crew meals with equal ease. Every order is assembled galley-ready, portioned for your confirmed passenger count, and packaged to maintain temperature and presentation from the ramp through to cruising altitude. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time.
