Which handler will you deliver to at SAMM?

We are handler-agnostic at Malargue. We deliver to whichever handler or ground agent is managing your aircraft — simply provide the handling contact when you order and we coordinate the ramp delivery directly.

Can you source local Mendoza wines and Argentine produce for my flight?

Yes. Regional wine, Patagonian lamb, and other Andean-corridor ingredients are a genuine part of what we offer here, not a marketing flourish. Availability is confirmed at the time of order given supply lead times from the region.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Crew meals are ordered and packed separately as standard, clearly labelled and priced independently. Crew nutrition on longer positioning legs is taken as seriously as the passenger cabin — caloric density, allergy compliance, and timing all apply equally.

How does high elevation at Malargue affect my catering order?

SAMM sits at 4,685 feet, which influences both aircraft performance and, to a degree, food presentation. We account for this in how items are sealed and packaged for galley delivery, ensuring nothing arrives compromised by pressure differentials during ground handling.

Is Altitude Dining available for late-night or early-morning departures from LGS?

We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Both runways at Malargue are lit, supporting night operations — and our team is staffed to match, with a dedicated contact available at any hour for last-minute changes or confirmations.

Can you accommodate passengers with specific dietary requirements?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-sodium, and halal menus are all available. Kosher catering is offered with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. All requirements are documented against your order and verified before despatch.

The chef's menu at LGS

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenArgentina

Cordero Patagónico Empanada

Slow-braised Patagonian lamb shoulder folded into a hand-crimped pastry case with smoked paprika and green olive. Baked to order and packed galley-ready.

Inflight Catering · Malargue

Malargue private jet catering

Malargue sits deep in the Mendoza province's southern reaches, a spare and elemental landscape shaped by Andean geology and Patagonian wind. The region is quietly significant: oil and gas operations, scientific research at the Pierre Auger Observatory, and an emerging ski corridor around Las Leñas all bring professional travellers through LGS with specific, often exacting, catering requirements. The nearest substantial hub lies at San Rafael, roughly 147 kilometres north, while Mendoza — Argentina's undisputed wine capital — sits 305 kilometres up the Andean corridor. That distance is a logistics consideration we account for precisely. By coordinating with trusted local suppliers and our regional network, we deliver galley-ready inflight catering to SAMM without the compromises that remote positioning might otherwise invite.

Regional Catering Menu · Malargue

Inflight catering menu for Malargue

The Mendoza corridor is one of Argentina's most celebrated food regions, and our menus reflect that honestly. Malbec-braised short rib, empanadas filled with slow-cooked cordero patagónico, and house-cured charcuterie from the Andean foothills all travel well at altitude and represent the landscape passengers are departing. We build aircraft catering around ingredients that are identifiably of this place — not generic continental standbys. For morning departures out of LGS, medialunas with dulce de leche and single-origin coffee from Argentine roasters set a tone that no imported pastry box can replicate. Dietary requirements — vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher (with 24 hours' notice) — are accommodated without treating the brief as an afterthought. Every order is confirmed with a single point of contact, and we respond to new requests within ten minutes, around the clock.
