Which handlers or FBOs do you work with at Tarija?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at TJA, coordinating directly with ground staff on timing and stand position. There is no exclusivity arrangement that affects your choice of handler.

Can you accommodate dietary and cultural requirements?

Yes — halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and low-sodium requirements are handled as standard. Kosher orders are fulfilled through a certified supplier and need 24 hours' lead time. Please specify requirements at the time of ordering.

Does the airport's elevation affect what you serve?

It informs how we compose menus. At over 6,000 feet, taste perception shifts and digestion slows slightly relative to sea level. We adjust seasoning, portion structure and fat content accordingly — small calibrations that make a tangible difference over a long sector.

Do you provide crew meals as well as passenger catering?

Crew meals are a core part of every order. We treat them with the same care as passenger service — nutritionally balanced, properly portioned for duty hours, and packaged for easy consumption on the flight deck or in a crew rest area.

Can I order Tarija wine or regional beverages as part of the uplift?

Regional Tarija wines, singani and selected non-alcoholic local drinks can be included in your order subject to availability and lead time. We specify producers and vintages on request so your crew or sommelier can verify selections before departure.

What happens if my departure time changes after I have placed an order?

Contact your single point of contact immediately. Our kitchen operates around the clock and can hold, adjust or reschedule preparation windows within reason. Early communication is the only requirement on your side.

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenBolivia

To start

Charque and quinoa salad

Air-dried beef sliced thin, warmed briefly and set over tricolour quinoa dressed with locoto oil, roasted maize and fresh herbs from the valley.

Cold main

Cold poached river trout with singani-caper dressing

Andean trout served cold, dressed with a reduction of local singani, capers and lemon thyme — clean, saline and structured for high-altitude palates.

Hot main

Slow-braised llama with locro reduction

Llama shoulder braised overnight with chivé, dried chilli and root vegetables, finished with a locro-style reduction and served with twice-cooked potato cake.

Pâtisserie

Tarija valley peach and ricotta tart

Thin shortcrust case filled with lightly sweetened ricotta, topped with caramelised local peach slices and a dusting of chankaca sugar.

Morning

Morning empanada with soft egg and herbs

Flaky baked empanada filled with slow-scrambled egg, softened spring onion and mountain herbs — substantial enough for an early departure, light enough not to burden.

To finish

Fig and quince preserve with aged cheese

A small board of regional semi-hard cheese alongside house-made fig and quince preserve, plain crackers and a few walnut halves — an undemanding close to any service.

Inflight Catering · Tarija

Inflight catering for Tarija flights

Tarija occupies a warm, sheltered valley in the southern Bolivian Andes, a territory whose combination of altitude, sunshine and river-fed soils has made it the country's most serious wine-producing region. The Chapare and local Tannat-based reds carry a character you will not find replicated elsewhere on the continent, and our sourcing team draws on local producers, market growers and artisan suppliers to bring that provenance directly aboard your aircraft. The surrounding landscape also yields singular ingredients: tender chankaca cane sugar, fragrant locoto chillies, hand-pressed sunflower oils and small-batch chivé spice blends that define the regional table. When logistics permit, these move from producer to galley to aircraft with minimal interruption — the kind of supply chain that turns a short sector into a genuinely memorable one.

Regional Catering Menu · Tarija

Tarija private jet catering

Tarija's kitchen tradition sits at the intersection of Andean staple cooking and the softer Spanish-influenced food of the southern valleys. Dishes built on charque (air-dried llama or beef), locro stews, and empanadas de pipián reflect a larder shaped by altitude and agricultural self-sufficiency. Our chefs translate these foundations into refined, cabin-ready formats — textured, well-seasoned and structured to hold at altitude without losing integrity. On the sweeter end, the region's singani grape brandy provides an elegant base for reductions and glazes, while stone fruits from the valley — peaches, figs, quinces — lend themselves to pâtisserie that references the place without leaning on novelty. Every menu is composed to the brief: dietary requirements, flight duration, passenger preference and the particular demands of high-altitude digestion all shape what we propose.
