Can you source Cuban produce locally for orders at this airport?

Yes. Matanzas is seventeen kilometres away and provides a practical source for fresh regional ingredients — citrus, root vegetables, plantain, and more. When timing permits, we prioritise local supply to ensure freshness.

Which ground handlers do you work with at Santa Marta?

We operate handler-agnostically, delivering to whichever handler is managing your aircraft. There is no requirement to use a specific FBO or service provider to receive an Altitude Dining order.

Are kosher meals available at this location?

Kosher meals can be arranged, but they require a minimum of twenty-four hours' lead time to ensure proper certification and handling. Please indicate this requirement when placing your order.

Does the short runway affect what catering you can supply?

Runway length influences the aircraft types that operate here, and our packing formats are matched accordingly. Orders are prepared in compact, weight-conscious galley boxes suited to smaller cabins — no heavy-loader equipment is required.

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

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. They are prepared separately, portioned for working rotations, and timed to your departure or turnaround schedule.

Do you serve other airports in the region if my routing changes?

Yes. Our network covers the broader Cuban region, including Matanzas, Havana, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara, and Cayo Largo del Sur, so a change of destination does not require starting the process again.

The chef's menu at VRO

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenCuba

To start

Lime-Cured Wahoo, Avocado & Sea Salt

Thinly sliced wahoo cured for four hours in Cuban lime juice, dressed with hand-pressed avocado and coarse local sea salt. Sealed cold and portioned for individual service.

Cold main

Congri Rice with Sofrito-Braised Black Beans

Long-grain rice cooked together with black beans in a sofrito of onion, green pepper, and cumin — the foundational Cuban side, elevated with a restrained hand and finished with fresh cilantro.

Hot main

Ropa Vieja with Steamed White Rice

Slow-braised flank steak pulled into fine threads and folded through a tomato and capsicum sauce. Hot-packed to retain moisture during transit, served alongside steamed white rice.

Morning

Tostones & Mango Salsa Board

Twice-fried green plantain pressed to order, paired with a salsa of ripe Matanzas mango, red onion, and lime. A considered morning or pre-departure bite with real regional character.

Pâtisserie

Guava & Cream Cheese Pastelito

Flaky pastry enclosing a layer of guava paste and lightly salted cream cheese — a Cuban classic handled with precision and wrapped individually for cabin service.

To finish

Dark Rum Custard with Caramelised Plantain

A set custard infused with aged Cuban dark rum, finished with a round of caramelised plantain and a dusting of raw cane sugar. Chilled, portioned, and ready for in-seat service.

Inflight Catering · Santa Marta

Santa Marta private jet catering

Santa Marta sits within Cuba's Matanzas province, a region whose agricultural rhythm has long supplied the island's kitchens with tobacco-cured meats, root vegetables, and the kind of slow-grown citrus that needs no enhancement. Matanzas itself lies just seventeen kilometres away, meaning genuinely local produce can reach your aircraft with the morning still in it. The wider Cuban interior — stretching toward Santa Clara and, beyond that, Havana — adds further depth to what we can source: black bean preparations refined over generations, freshwater fish from inland rivers, and hand-rolled accompaniments that carry an unmistakable regional character. We translate all of it into galley-ready presentations calibrated for the cabin.

Regional Catering Menu · Santa Marta

Inflight catering menu for Santa Marta

Cuba's culinary identity is built on restraint and balance rather than extravagance — slow-braised ropa vieja, congri rice layered with black beans and aromatic lard, tostones pressed from green plantain at the last moment before service. For Santa Marta orders we draw on these foundations and refine them to inflight standards: correctly portioned, chilled or hot-packed to specification, and sealed for a pressurised environment without losing texture. For passengers seeking something lighter, the Caribbean littoral provides its own larder: lime-cured fish preparations, avocado dressed with local sea salt, and tropical fruit boards assembled from whatever is at peak that morning. Crew meals receive the same deliberate attention — warm, nourishing, and timed to your rotation schedule rather than an arbitrary standard.
