Can you source fresh Bahamian produce for a departure from NMC?

Yes. Nassau is approximately eighty kilometres away and gives us access to local seafood, tropical fruit, and island produce. With sufficient lead time we can incorporate genuinely local ingredients rather than relying on pre-packaged alternatives.

Are kosher meals available at this location?

Kosher catering is available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice, allowing us to arrange certified preparation and sealed delivery to the aircraft.

Which FBO or handler should I specify when placing an order?

NMC is a small private strip without a fixed-base operator on file. Simply advise us which handler or contact is managing your aircraft on the day and we will co-ordinate delivery directly with them.

How quickly will you respond to a catering enquiry?

All new enquiries receive a response within ten minutes, around the clock. Given the logistical considerations of a remote island airstrip, earlier notice always gives us more options — but we are accustomed to working under time pressure.

Can you cater multi-leg itineraries that include other Bahamian airports?

Entirely. Our regional network covers Nassau, Rock Sound, Governor's Harbour, North Eleuthera, and further points across the Bahamas. One order, one contact, regardless of how many stops the itinerary involves.

What size of aircraft do your standard delivery formats suit?

Our insulated carriers, compact galley boxes, and portioned crew packs are designed for the light and mid-size jets that typically operate into a 1,433-metre strip like NMC. Packaging is galley-ready and pre-labelled by course and passenger.

The Altitude Dining kitchenBahamas

To start

Chilled Conch Ceviche

Hand-diced conch cured in lime with scotch bonnet, red onion, and fresh coriander. Served in a sealed portion jar with plantain crisps on the side.

Cold main

Exuma Spiny Lobster Salad

Poached lobster tail sliced over shaved fennel and watercress, dressed with a saffron-citrus vinaigrette and finished with micro herbs. Travels cold without loss of texture.

Fillet of Caribbean snapper rested over braised callaloo with coconut milk, thyme, and a scotch bonnet reduction. Sealed in a galley-ready tray, reheats in twelve minutes.

Morning

Tropical Fruit Plate with Lime Yoghurt

To finish

Guava Cheese Plate

Sliced guava paste alongside a mild aged island cheese, salted crackers, and candied ginger. A composed finish that keeps well at altitude and requires no reheating.

Inflight Catering · Normans Cay

Private aviation catering at NMC

At eight feet above the sea, NMC is one of the most intimate airstrips in the Bahamian archipelago — a single paved runway edged by turquoise shallows, serving a cay with more coral than commerce. The island's very remoteness is the point: those who land here are not passing through, and the catering that leaves with them should reflect that deliberate choice of quiet over convenience. Nassau lies roughly eighty kilometres to the north-west, close enough that Altitude Dining can draw on the capital's produce markets and specialist suppliers before routing provisions down through the Exumas chain. Rock Sound and Governor's Harbour add further reach into Eleuthera's farms and fisheries, letting us compose menus grounded in the central Bahamas rather than imported from afar.

Regional Catering Menu · Normans Cay

Normans Cay inflight catering

The Exumas are built on seafood — spiny lobster pulled from the shallows, conch harvested by hand, and snapper caught in the same waters your aircraft overflies on approach. These are not decorative references; they are the backbone of the cold mains and starters we build for NMC departures when lead times allow fresh sourcing through Nassau and the surrounding islands. Salt, citrus, and heat do most of the work, because the ingredients require little else. For longer passages originating here, we construct galleys suited to extended over-water flying: substantial hot mains with considered accompaniments, pâtisserie baked to travel without compromise, and a cold course that holds its integrity at altitude. Kosher menus are available with twenty-four hours' notice. Every order arrives galley-ready, labelled, and sequenced so the crew can focus on the water below rather than the provisions behind them.
