Which handler do you deliver to at Porto Santo?

We deliver to Sky Valet. Our team confirms stand details and access arrangements with the handler ahead of your arrival time so that nothing delays the turnaround.

Can you source fresh local produce for a Porto Santo departure?

Yes. With Funchal 58 kilometres away, we draw on Madeiran suppliers for fresh fish, regional cheeses, artisan breads, and seasonal fruit. Produce is selected close to your departure time to preserve quality.

Do you cater early morning and late evening departures?

Our service runs 24 hours a day. Porto Santo's lit runway accommodates a wide range of departure times, and our catering operation reflects that — morning pastry boards, full breakfast services, and late-night cold selections are all available.

Can you provide kosher meals at Porto Santo?

Kosher provisioning is available through our certified supply network. Because sealed, certified meals must be sourced and transported under strict cold-chain conditions, we require a minimum of 24 hours' notice for all kosher orders.

What if my passenger count or menu changes after the order is placed?

Changes happen. Contact your point of contact as early as possible and we will do everything the production schedule allows to accommodate revisions. Last-minute adjustments are handled with the same single point of contact, so there is no need to re-brief anyone.

Do you cater crew meals separately from the passenger cabin?

Yes. Crew meals are prepared and packed separately, labelled clearly, and delivered alongside the passenger service. We treat the flight deck as its own brief — appropriate portions, practical packaging, and the same quality standards applied throughout.

The chef's menu at PXO

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPortugal

Hot main

Grilled Black Scabbardfish with Banana and Passion Fruit

Espada filleted and grilled to order, plated with the classic Madeiran banana accompaniment and a sharp passion-fruit reduction. Rich, distinctive, and entirely of this part of the Atlantic.

To start

Limpets with Garlic, Butter and Lemon

A Porto Santo and Madeiran ritual — limpets served in their shells, finished with good butter, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon. A composed cold starter that carries the smell of the island's shoreline.

Cold main

Atlantic Tuna Tartare with Capers and Smoked Paprika Oil

Hand-cut tuna from the waters around Porto Santo, seasoned simply and dressed with a light smoked paprika oil. Clean and precise — a cold main that travels without losing its character.

Morning

Bolo do Caco with Garlic Butter and Cured Presunto

Madeiran flatbread, warm and soft, spread with garlic butter and served alongside slices of mainland presunto and aged São Jorge cheese. A morning board that feels like an honest Portuguese breakfast.

Pâtisserie

Pastel de Nata with Porto Santo Honey

Custard tarts baked that morning in Funchal, carried across in insulated packaging and served at cabin temperature with a small jar of local honey on the side. Simple and irreplaceable.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Poncha-Soaked Prune Petit Fours

A two-bite finish: Madeiran aguardente and honey used to macerate prunes, then enrobed in dark chocolate. A quiet reference to the island's own spirit, composed for the end of a long Atlantic crossing.

Inflight Catering · Vila Baleira

Vila Baleira private jet catering

Porto Santo is the quieter sibling in the Madeiran archipelago, a nine-kilometre beach of therapeutic sand, volcanic interior hills, and a food culture that draws from both the Atlantic and mainland Portuguese traditions. Locally caught espada, limpets dressed in garlic and lemon, and the island's own honey wine — poncha de mel — shape a table that is genuinely its own. Because our nearest hub is Funchal, just 58 kilometres across the water, we are able to source Madeiran and Porto Santo produce — fresh tuna, regional cheeses, artisan breads baked that morning — and have it aboard your aircraft without compromise to freshness. The island's scale means our team knows precisely which suppliers deliver and when, so nothing reaches your galley by chance.

Regional Catering Menu · Vila Baleira

Inflight catering menu for Vila Baleira

The Atlantic dictates the menu here. Grilled espada with banana — the signature pairing of Madeiran cooking — translates elegantly into a plated inflight course. Black scabbardfish is rich and firm, ideal for a hot main that holds well at altitude. Alongside it, we work with limpets, octopus prepared in the Madeiran style, and bolo do caco flatbreads spread with garlic butter — bread that carries the island on a single bite. For those who prefer lighter aircraft catering, we compose cold boards built around presunto from the Portuguese mainland, aged São Jorge cheese sourced through Funchal, and seasonal fruit from local growers. Morning departures from Porto Santo suit a slower pace: fresh pastel de nata, local honey, and strong espresso assembled with the same care as a full dinner service.
