Which handler or FBO do you deliver to at Manzanillo?

We work handler-agnostic at Manzanillo, delivering galley-ready provisions to whichever handling agent holds your aircraft. Confirm the handler at the time of order and we coordinate all access directly with them.

Can you source fresh, local Cuban ingredients for a flight departing Manzanillo?

Yes. The Granma province and Gulf of Guacanayabo provide gulf seafood, tropical produce, and local citrus that we incorporate into menus when lead times allow. We are transparent about what is genuinely available on any given day.

Do you cater for crew meals as well as passenger orders?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. We prepare them separately from passenger provisioning, with portion sizes and nutritional balance appropriate for operational duty cycles.

Is kosher catering available at Manzanillo?

Kosher provisioning is available but requires a minimum of twenty-four hours' advance notice to ensure proper certification and handling through our specialist network. Please flag this requirement at the point of first contact.

What aircraft sizes does the runway at Manzanillo accommodate?

The field's two-thousand-four-hundred-metre paved runway is well suited to light and mid-size jets. We calibrate provisioning weights and packaging to the aircraft category confirmed in your brief.

Can you cater a flight that positions through Holguín or Santiago de Cuba on the same trip?

Our worldwide network covers multiple Cuban airports. If your routing includes Holguín, Santiago de Cuba, or other eastern Cuban destinations, we can coordinate provisioning at each point under a single order and one point of contact.

The chef's menu at MZO

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenCuba

To start

Gulf Lobster with Sour Orange & Herbs

Langosta criolla poached in a light court-bouillon, finished with fresh sour orange juice and flat-leaf parsley. Chilled, galley-ready, and plated cold — clean Caribbean flavour with no fuss.

Hot main

Ropa Vieja with Congrí Rice

Slow-braised flank steak shredded into a tomato and pepper sofrito, served alongside black bean and rice cooked together in the Granma lowland tradition. Travels well and reheats evenly.

Hot main

Citrus-Marinated Chicken with Root Vegetables

Free-range chicken marinated overnight in Cuban naranja agria, roasted and portioned over a bed of yuca and malanga. Substantial enough for a long sector, refined enough for the cabin.

Cold main

Smoked Fish & Tostones Plate

Locally sourced smoked gulf fish, flaked and seasoned, served alongside twice-fried green plantain. A cold main that captures the eastern Cuban coast with genuine authority.

Morning

Guava & Cream Cheese Pastry

A classic Cuban pastelito made with ripe guava paste and mild cream cheese, baked in a short, laminated dough. Compact, familiar, and excellent alongside a strong café cubano.

Pâtisserie

Papaya & Lime Tartlet

A crisp blind-baked shell filled with a set papaya custard, finished with candied lime zest. Light on the palate and grounded in the tropical produce of the region.

Inflight Catering · Manzanillo

Manzanillo private jet catering

Manzanillo sits on the Gulf of Guacanayabo in Cuba's Granma province, a city shaped by sugar, seafood, and one of the Caribbean's more characterful town squares. The surrounding coastline and fertile interior produce exceptional langosta criolla, fresh gulf fish, tropical root vegetables, and a range of citrus that rarely reaches international menus. Sourcing here is unhurried and deliberate — and the results are unmistakably Cuban. The region is also a natural staging point for eastern Cuba, with Bayamo roughly fifty kilometres inland and the culturally rich cities of Las Tunas, Holguín, and Santiago de Cuba all within a hundred and forty kilometres. Passengers departing Manzanillo often carry the tastes of this end of the island with them — and we make sure the galley reflects that.

Regional Catering Menu · Manzanillo

Inflight catering menu for Manzanillo

Cuban eastern-province cooking leans on slow braises, citrus-marinated proteins, and the kind of root-vegetable depth that comes from genuinely fertile soil. We build menus around what is actually available: gulf lobster prepared simply with local sour orange and herbs, ropa vieja made with proper patience, congrí rice cooked with black beans from the Granma lowlands, and tostones that travel well in the right packaging. Crew meals receive the same care — substantial, balanced, and calibrated for long duty days. For morning departures we work with Cuban guava, fresh papaya, and the island's characteristically strong café cubano culture — espresso-style preparations and pan tostado that set the tone before wheels-up. Dietary requirements, including kosher provisioning with a minimum twenty-four hours' notice, are handled through our central kitchen network and delivered galley-ready to whichever handler holds your aircraft.
