Which handler do you deliver to at Tanna?

We have no handler arrangement fixed to this airport, so we coordinate directly with whichever ground handling agent is managing your aircraft. Confirm the handler name when you place your order and we will align the delivery accordingly.

Can you source local Vanuatu ingredients for the flight?

Yes. Tanna's volcanic soil produces distinctive tropical produce, and we have regional supplier relationships that allow us to incorporate local ingredients when lead times permit. Specify your interest at the time of ordering and we will advise on what is available for your departure date.

Is inflight catering available for crew as well as passengers?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. We prepare them to a separate brief from cabin catering — practical, nutritionally balanced, and portioned for the operating conditions of the flight.

Does the short runway affect what catering equipment you can use?

Aircraft operating into Tanna's 1,230-metre runway tend to be lighter cabin configurations. Our team packages all orders to suit the galley dimensions and storage capacity of the specific aircraft type, so nothing arrives that cannot be stowed and served properly.

Can I order catering for a connecting leg departing from Port Vila or Luganville?

Yes. Port Vila and Luganville are both within our network. If your itinerary moves between Tanna and either of those points, we can manage the catering across multiple legs under a single order and a single point of contact.

How do I reach Altitude Dining from a remote location like Tanna?

Our operations desk is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We respond to all first contacts within ten minutes regardless of time zone. Email, telephone, or your account manager — all lines reach the same team.

Inflight Catering · Tanna Island

Tanna Island private jet catering

Tanna is an island defined by raw geography: the perpetually active Mount Yasur volcano, dense jungle canopy, and coastal villages where kastom culture remains the governing force of daily life. Ingredients grown in this volcanic soil — root vegetables, tropical fruits, locally caught fish — carry a depth of flavour that reflects the land itself. Because Tanna sits beyond the immediate supply radius of Port Vila, 217 kilometres to the north, sourcing requires careful advance coordination. We work with trusted regional suppliers to ensure that produce is selected, prepared, and transported with the timing your departure demands — galley-ready and presented to the standard your aircraft expects.

Regional Catering Menu · Tanna Island

Inflight catering menu for Tanna Island

Vanuatu's culinary tradition centres on lap lap — a baked pudding of grated root vegetable and coconut cream — alongside freshly caught reef fish, grilled banana blossom, and the distinctive local variety of coconut crab where seasonally available. These are not decorative references; they are ingredients we build dishes around when clients want the destination reflected in the meal. For cabins that prefer a continental or international profile, our kitchen prepares cold composed plates, charcuterie selections, and pâtisserie to the same galley-ready standard. Kosher menus are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Every order, regardless of complexity, is managed through a single point of contact available around the clock.
