Which handler do you deliver to at Makemo?

Makemo does not have a permanently staffed FBO. We deliver to whichever handler or agent holds your aircraft, and we confirm delivery logistics directly with your crew or flight operations team once your order is placed.

Can you provide Kosher meals on this routing?

Yes. Kosher-certified meals are available across our network, including French Polynesia, with a minimum lead time of 24 hours. Please specify the certification standard required when ordering.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Absolutely. Crew meals are ordered and packaged separately, labelled clearly, and priced differently from the passenger menu. We treat crew provisioning as a distinct part of every brief.

How quickly will I receive a response to my enquiry?

Our team responds to every catering enquiry in under ten minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will have a single point of contact from first response through to galley-ready delivery.

Can you handle catering for onward stops across the Tuamotu chain?

Yes. Through our worldwide network we can co-ordinate inflight catering for consecutive legs, including nearby atoll airfields. Consolidated ordering across multiple stops is something we handle routinely.

What is the best way to communicate dietary requirements for a Makemo departure?

Provide all dietary requirements — allergies, intolerances, religious or lifestyle preferences — at the time of ordering. Your single point of contact will confirm how each requirement has been addressed before the order is finalised.

Inflight catering menu for Makemo

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenFrench Polynesia

To start

Poisson Cru with Coconut and Lime

Line-caught tuna diced and briefly cured in fresh lime juice, finished in coconut milk with finely sliced cucumber and spring onion. Served chilled in a sealed glass pot, garnished with micro coriander.

Cold main

Seared Mahi-Mahi with Vanilla Beurre Blanc

A fillet of Pacific mahi-mahi seared to a golden crust, rested and portioned cold for inflight service, accompanied by a small jar of Tahitian vanilla beurre blanc for gentle reheating on board.

Hot main

Braised Chicken with Taro and Coconut Broth

Free-range chicken leg slow-braised in coconut broth with taro, lemongrass and ginger. Packaged in a foil tray designed for even galley reheating, with a side of steamed jasmine rice.

Morning

Tropical Fruit Plate with Lime Zest Sugar

Sliced papaya, pineapple and passion fruit arranged on a chilled board, dusted with a blend of caster sugar and finely grated Kaffir lime zest. Clean, vivid and light at altitude.

Pâtisserie

Coconut and Pandan Financier

A single-portion French-style financier made with desiccated coconut and pandan extract, baked to a firm crumb that travels without crumbling. Individually wrapped and finished with a dusting of icing sugar.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Ganache Tart

A 72% Valrhona ganache set in a blind-baked shortcrust shell, finished with a pinch of Pacific fleur de sel. Portioned and set firm to withstand inflight handling without losing its clean, bitter finish.

Inflight Catering · Makemo

Inflight catering for Makemo flights

The Tuamotu atolls operate on their own rhythm — supply boats arrive infrequently, and the lagoon defines almost everything about daily life. Pearl farming and line fishing are the island's twin industries, and both feed a culinary identity built on extreme freshness: fish landed that morning, coconut harvested within reach of the runway, shellfish pulled from water so clear it barely looks real. Makemo's isolation is precisely what makes provisioning discipline essential. Altitude Dining sources through our French Polynesia network, integrating Papeete-based suppliers and inter-island logistics to ensure that what reaches your galley is cold-chain intact and prepared to the same standard you would expect on the ground in Paris or Tokyo. Distance from a capital city is never a reason to accept a compromised menu.

Regional Catering Menu · Makemo

Makemo private jet catering

French Polynesia's kitchen sits at the intersection of French technique and Polynesian ingredient. Raw fish cured in coconut milk — the dish the islands call poisson cru — represents that meeting point as cleanly as anything in the region. We build our menus around what that tradition implies: citrus brightness, the fat sweetness of fresh coconut, and protein of genuine provenance. Tuna, mahi-mahi, and reef fish feature wherever the day's availability confirms quality. Beyond the raw bar, the French half of this culinary heritage permits the kind of classical preparation that long-haul passengers expect on a premium aircraft: butter-finished sauces, clean vegetable work, and pâtisserie that travels. We compose boards, hot mains and pastry selections that reflect the latitude without leaning into cliché, giving crews and passengers a sense of place without sacrificing the discipline of professional inflight catering.
