What lead time do you need for Cruz?

For most orders, four to six hours is sufficient. Fresh local seafood and produce sourced from the Ceará coast may require slightly more notice depending on market availability. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours' lead time regardless of location.

Which handler should I specify when ordering?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at SBJE. Confirm the handler when you place your order and we coordinate directly with them so the delivery reaches your aircraft galley-ready and on schedule.

Can you cater a multi-leg itinerary that includes Cruz and Fortaleza?

Yes. We manage multi-leg programmes through a single point of contact, briefing our network at each stop simultaneously. Fortaleza is around 225 kilometres from Cruz and is fully covered within our wider Ceará coordination.

Do you provide crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Crew meals are ordered and packed separately as a matter of course — portioned, labelled, and stored in dedicated crew containers so there is no confusion with the passenger service. We apply the same sourcing standards to crew orders as to any other part of the uplift.

Is fresh seafood reliably available at this location?

The fishing communities along this stretch of the Ceará coast operate daily, and spiny lobster, reef fish, and shellfish are consistently available through our local sourcing contacts. Availability can vary with weather and seasonal cycles; your account manager will advise at the time of ordering.

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

Contact your point of contact immediately. We will adjust the preparation and delivery schedule where operationally possible. Because we work around the clock, late changes can generally be accommodated, particularly when notice is given more than two hours before the revised departure.

The chef's menu at JJD

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenBrazil

To start

Ceará Spiny Lobster, Cashew Fruit Vinaigrette

Tail poached gently to order, served cool with a bright reduction of fresh cashew fruit, lime zest, and cold-pressed olive oil. A clean expression of what this coastline produces at its best.

Cold main

Reef Fish Ceviche, Coconut Leche de Tigre

Local white fish cured briefly in lime with chilli, red onion, and hand-pressed coconut milk standing in for the Peruvian classic — a regional reinterpretation that travels exceptionally well in a chilled galley container.

Hot main

Carne de Sol, Feijão Verde, Farofa de Manteiga

Air-cured beef from the Ceará tradition, finished on the plancha and served alongside braised green beans fragrant with coriander and a buttered manioc farofa. Grounding, savoury, and unambiguously from this part of Brazil.

Morning

Tapioca Crepes, Coalho Cheese, Honey

Hand-pressed tapioca crepes filled with grilled coalho cheese and finished with wildflower honey from the Ceará interior — a Northeast Brazilian breakfast staple refined for a morning service at altitude.

Pâtisserie

Cashew Sorbet, Tapioca Tuile

The cashew fruit's tart, tropical intensity concentrated into a clean sorbet, plated with a crisp tapioca tuile. A pâtisserie course that could only come from this region.

To finish

Petit Fours of Doçaria Cearense

A selection of traditional Ceará sweets — cocada, sequilho, and goiabada with queijo coalho — portioned for individual service and presented in a sealed galley box for ease of handling.

Inflight Catering · Cruz

Cruz private jet catering

The municipality of Cruz is defined by its coastline — lace-fine beaches, cashew groves, and fishing communities whose morning catch reaches local markets before the heat of the day sets in. The cerrado and restinga vegetation of the interior gives way to a food culture built on simplicity and freshness: sun-dried meats, hand-pressed coconut milk, tapioca worked from locally grown cassava, and reef fish that bear almost no journey between ocean and plate. Sobral, some 80 kilometres inland, is the region's most substantial urban centre and contributes a richer culinary tradition — slow-braised goat, feijão verde cooked with coriander, and the doçaria typical of the Ceará sertão. These inland flavours balance beautifully against the coast's lighter, sea-forward repertoire, and our sourcing draws from both directions when composing menus for passengers boarding at SBJE.

Regional Catering Menu · Cruz

Inflight catering menu for Cruz

Ceará's ingredient roster is quietly exceptional. Lagosta — spiny lobster — harvested by small-scale fishermen along this precise stretch of coastline is among Brazil's finest, sweet and firm without the transport fatigue that afflicts lobster shipped from further afield. Paired with a light tucupi-adjacent broth or simply dressed with lime and good olive oil, it translates effortlessly into first-class galley service. Cashew is equally native to this corner of the Northeast: the fruit itself — mango-bright, astringent, deeply aromatic — appears in reductions, vinaigrettes, and sorbets that give a distinctly regional accent to dessert courses. For crew meals and more grounded passenger requests, the regional canon offers equally compelling material. Carne de sol, cured in the coastal air rather than industrial chambers, arrives tender and savoury when finished on the plancha. Arroz de cuxá, made with vinegar-leaf and dried shrimp, is a considered carbohydrate alternative to the predictable rice sides that dominate most inflight catering. We build these references into every menu we propose for aircraft catering at Cruz, ensuring the food speaks to where the flight begins.
