Private Jet Catering at Santiago (SCU)

Santiago · Cuba · ICAO MUCU

Santiago de Cuba sits at the eastern end of the island, closer in character to the Caribbean coast than to Havana — and the food here reflects it. Departing SCU, you board produce that is genuinely local: root vegetables, tropical fruit, and freshwater fish that reach the kitchen the same morning. One coordinator confirms your order in under 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.

Inflight catering menu for Santiago

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenCuba

To start
Southeastern coast shrimp, lime, and chili
Poached shrimp from Cuba's southeastern waters, dressed with fresh lime, ají cachucha, and coriander. Served chilled, portioned for individual service.
Cold main
Lobster from the Oriente coast, avocado, tomato
Eastern Cuba spiny lobster, sliced and plated over local avocado with vine tomato and a light citrus dressing. Galley-stable for up to two hours.
Hot main
Slow-cooked pork, Oriente style, with boniato
Pork shoulder braised in *mojo* — sour orange, garlic, cumin — alongside roasted boniato from the Santiago highlands. A direct expression of the eastern Cuban kitchen.
To start
Congrí oriental with crispy plantain
Black beans and rice cooked together in the Santiago tradition, served warm with twice-fried tostones. Distinct from the Havana preparation, properly so.
Pâtisserie
Guanábana sorbet, fresh mango
Sorbet churned from ripe Santiago guanábana alongside sliced Oriente mango. Clean, palate-resetting, no imported ingredients.
Morning
Tropical fruit plate, mamey cream
Seasonal fruit from the eastern provinces — mamey, guava, papaya — with a light mamey and vanilla cream. Prepared and sealed the morning of departure.

Inflight catering for Santiago flights

Santiago's markets run on what grows within a short drive of the city: malanga, boniato, plantain, and breadfruit alongside mangoes and guanábana that arrive ripe and ready to plate. The eastern provinces have their own culinary register — heavier on root vegetables and coconut than the west, shaped by a Caribbean and Afro-Cuban kitchen tradition that produces flavors you do not find elsewhere in the country. Catering for departures from SCU is assembled from that same supply chain, not airfreighted from a central hub. Crew meals and principal menus are composed to travel well in the galley conditions typical of island departures — compact, properly sealed, portioned for the rotation — and delivered to the MUCU ramp to meet your departure window.

Regional Catering Menu · Santiago

Santiago private jet catering

The Santiago region's strongest offerings center on slow-cooked pork prepared in the *Oriente* style, fresh lobster and shrimp from the southeastern coast, and *congrí oriental* — black beans and rice cooked together, distinct from the Havana version. Ripe tropical fruit boards in peak condition: guanábana for palate-cleansing sorbets, mamey for a dessert course that requires nothing from abroad. Each dish translates cleanly to cabin service — plated portions that hold structure in a galley container, nothing that deteriorates in a 90-minute hold.
