How much notice is required for private jet catering at CYO?

We recommend a minimum of 24 hours for standard menus given the island's remote location and the logistics involved in staging fresh provisions. Kosher orders require a full 24-hour lead time regardless of location. For very short-notice departures, contact us directly and we will advise honestly on what is achievable.

Can you source fresh local Cuban produce for flights departing MUCL?

Yes. We draw on regional sourcing networks across Cuba — including supply lines connected to towns such as Cienfuegos and Nueva Gerona — to bring seasonal fruit, fresh seafood and locally grown ingredients into your catering order where logistics and timing permit.

Which handlers do you deliver to at Cayo Largo del Sur?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the day. We do not restrict delivery to a named FBO, and our operations team liaises directly with the handling agent on ramp access and delivery timing.

Do you provide crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared and packed independently, clearly labelled, and designed to be practical for the operating environment — nourishing, easy to manage during duty, and kept separate from the passenger cabin service.

Can dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free or kosher be accommodated?

All common dietary requirements are accommodated as standard. Kosher orders require 24 hours' notice to ensure correct certification and an unbroken chain of custody. Please advise all requirements at the time of ordering so nothing is left to assumption.

Is Altitude Dining available for very early or late-night departures from Cayo Largo del Sur?

Our operations desk is staffed around the clock, every day of the year. Departure time does not affect our ability to receive, confirm and manage your order — though advance notice remains important given the island's geography and provisioning distances.

The Altitude Dining kitchenCuba

To start

Citrus-Cured Caribbean Prawns

Whole prawns marinated in sour orange and fresh coriander, chilled and plated over shaved fennel. Packed separately from dressing to keep texture intact during transit from CYO.

Hot main

Ropa Vieja with Saffron Rice

Slow-braised shredded beef in a sofrito of tomato, cumin and sweet pepper, served alongside saffron-infused long-grain rice. A canonical Cuban preparation, handled with the patience it requires.

Cold main

Chilled Lobster and Avocado Platter

Cold-water lobster tail sliced and arranged over a smooth avocado purée, finished with a lime and chilli dressing. Sourced through our regional Cuban supply network and packed galley-ready.

Pâtisserie

Guava and Cream Cheese Pastry

A classic Cuban pastelito, made with laminated dough encasing guava paste and mild cream cheese. Baked to order and packed to retain flake during the journey to the aircraft.

Morning

Tropical Fruit and Coconut Bread Board

Sliced mango, papaya and pineapple arranged alongside warm coconut bread rolls. Proportioned for early departures and designed to open cleanly without requiring additional preparation on board.

To finish

Dark Rum Chocolate Ganache Tart

A short-pastry shell filled with a dense bittersweet ganache, finished with a few crystals of sea salt and a suggestion of aged Cuban rum. Travels well and requires no on-board preparation.

Inflight Catering · Cayo Largo del Sur

Inflight catering for Cayo Largo del Sur flights

CYO serves one of Cuba's most secluded resort archipelagos, where the nearest towns — Nueva Gerona and Cienfuegos — lie well over a hundred kilometres away across open water. That geography places a premium on advance planning, and it is precisely where our logistics network earns its place: sourcing, packing and routing provisions so that isolation never translates into compromise at the galley. The Cuban coast shapes what ends up on your aircraft. Lobster from the surrounding shoals, plantain in every preparation, black beans slow-cooked with sofrito, and tropical fruit that arrives still carrying the warmth of the island sun — these are the flavours we build menus around when clients depart from Cayo Largo del Sur. Every order is treated as its own brief, calibrated to departure time, passenger count and the particular expectations of those on board.

Regional Catering Menu · Cayo Largo del Sur

Cayo Largo del Sur private jet catering

Caribbean Cuban cuisine at its most honest is neither fussy nor sparse — it rewards confident seasoning and unhurried technique. For crews and passengers departing MUCL, we compose menus around ropa vieja prepared with shredded slow-braised beef, citrus-marinated whole prawns, and chilled avocado preparations that hold beautifully in a well-organised galley. Rice dishes are built with proper stock, not shortcuts, and cold platters are packed to open cleanly at altitude. Pâtisserie and morning provisions reflect the same discipline. Guava pastries, coconut-enriched breads and fresh fruit arrangements sourced from the wider Cuban region give early departures a sense of place without veering into the theatrical. For passengers requiring kosher provisions, we ask for a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice to ensure certification and provenance are fully intact before anything reaches the aircraft.
