What is the minimum lead time for orders at AZS?

For standard menus we ask for a minimum of twelve hours. Complex builds, imported produce or kosher-certified meals require twenty-four hours to ensure everything reaches the aircraft in correct condition.

Can you source fresh local Dominican ingredients for flights departing Samaná?

Yes. The Samaná peninsula and its surrounding region produce excellent tropical fruit, fresh-caught Atlantic fish and locally grown vegetables. We work with trusted local suppliers and can integrate those ingredients into your menu briefing.

Which handler do you deliver to at Samaná airport?

We coordinate directly with Universal Aviation on the apron. Delivery is galley-ready, labelled by course and timed to your confirmed departure window.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged separately, clearly labelled and priced independently of the passenger service. We recommend briefing crew dietary requirements at the time of the main order.

Easily. Our network covers the republic's major airfields including those near Santiago, Santo Domingo and Punta Cana. A single brief covers all legs, coordinated through one account manager.

Inflight Catering · Samana

Inflight catering for Samana flights

Samaná sits on one of the Dominican Republic's most distinctive peninsulas, where coconut groves frame a bay long known to humpback whales on their winter passage. The surrounding waters and fertile interior yield ingredients that rarely travel far before they reach a plate — fresh-caught kingfish, ripe plantain, cacao from small hillside farms, and the region's exceptional tropical fruit. Our sourcing team works with local suppliers to bring those ingredients aboard in peak condition. The peninsula's character is quieter and more intimate than the republic's larger resort corridors, and the clientele arriving at MDCY tend to reflect that — discerning travellers expecting a galley that matches the quality of the destination. Altitude Dining calibrates every order to that expectation, whether the brief calls for a light post-beach lunch or a formal multi-course dinner service aloft.

Regional Catering Menu · Samana

Samana private jet catering

Dominican cuisine rewards confident simplicity: slow-braised goat with oregano and sour orange, whole fish roasted over charcoal, root vegetable sancocho enriched with herbs that vary by valley. We translate those flavours into cabin-ready preparations — portioned cleanly, packaged for altitude, and plated so the galley crew can present them without improvisation. Regional hot sauces, fresh lime and a short list of aromatic herbs complete the larder. For guests who prefer a departure from local tradition, our kitchen produces a full international repertoire — composed salads, sashimi-grade proteins, European charcuterie and patisserie — sourced through our wider Dominican Republic network and, when required, flown in via Santo Domingo. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice.
