Which handler should I specify for delivery at MCJ?

As La Mina-Maicao does not currently have a named fixed-base operator on record with us, we coordinate delivery with whichever handler is managing your aircraft. Please provide handler details at the time of order and we will arrange accordingly.

Can you source fresh, local Colombian produce for flights departing Maicao?

Yes. Our sourcing team works with suppliers in and around Riohacha, approximately 58 kilometres from the airfield, to incorporate Guajira and Caribbean coastal ingredients — fish, tropical fruit, Wayuu-influenced preparations — where lead times allow.

Is kosher catering available at this airport?

Kosher meals can be arranged, subject to a minimum of 24 hours' advance notice. Please flag the requirement at the time of first enquiry so we can confirm the appropriate supply chain.

Do you cater crew meals as well as cabin orders?

Crew meals are a standard part of our service. We build them to be nourishing and practical — properly portioned, clearly labelled, and packed separately from cabin service so the flight deck receives exactly what was ordered.

Can you handle a Maicao order as part of a multi-leg itinerary that includes Barranquilla or Cartagena?

Absolutely. Our worldwide network and single-contact model means we coordinate catering across multiple legs from one conversation. Barranquilla and Cartagena are both served by our team, and cross-leg menu continuity is something we plan for from the outset.

Inflight catering menu for La Mina-Maicao

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenColombia

To start

Sierra del Caribe Ceviche

Thinly sliced sierra fish cured briefly in fresh lime juice, finished with ají amarillo, red onion, and torn coriander. Served chilled in a sealed portion cup with crisp tostones alongside.

Hot main

Chivo Guajiro with Coconut Rice

Slow-braised goat from the Guajira tradition, pulled and set in its own reduced cooking liquor, paired with coconut-perfumed rice and a garnish of pickled green mango.

Cold main

Avocado and Hearts of Palm Plate

Ripe Colombian avocado, sliced hearts of palm, and heirloom tomato arranged simply with a lime-and-olive-oil dressing and a scatter of toasted pepitas.

Morning

Arepa de Choclo with Coastal Cheese

Sweet corn cake made to the coastal Colombian style, served warm and filled with a mild, slightly salty fresh cheese from the Caribbean lowlands — a proper morning staple from this part of the country.

Pâtisserie

Panela and Guanábana Tart

A crisp butter-pastry shell holding a set custard sweetened with raw Colombian panela and brightened with soursop purée. Finished with a dusting of cinnamon.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Coffee Bonbons

Hand-finished bonbons using single-origin Colombian cacao and a ganache flavoured with sierra Nevada coffee — a composed, two-ingredient nod to the country's best-known exports.

Inflight Catering · La Mina-Maicao

Inflight catering for La Mina-Maicao flights

La Mina-Maicao sits in one of Colombia's most distinctive corners — the arid, wind-sculpted Guajira, where Wayuu culture shapes the landscape and the cuisine. The region's larder is unlike anything found further south: dried and salted meats, hand-made sweet corn cakes, and the vivid flavours of coastal Caribbean Colombia all converge within reach of the airfield. Riohacha, the Guajira's principal city, lies roughly 58 kilometres to the northwest, and our sourcing team draws on its markets and artisan producers whenever scheduling permits. Valledupar, some 121 kilometres inland and spiritual home of vallenato music, adds a further dimension — think slow-cooked goat, fresh coastal fish, and the earthy sweetness of Colombian panela — all ingredients our kitchen handles with precision before galley-ready delivery to your aircraft.

Regional Catering Menu · La Mina-Maicao

La Mina-Maicao private jet catering

The Guajira coast informs every menu we build for Maicao-bound flights. Grilled sierra fish dressed with ají amarillo, ceviche lightened with fresh lime and coriander, and slow-braised chivo (goat) with patacones reflect the honest, intensely flavoured cooking of the department. We treat these references seriously — sourcing authentically, finishing with the restraint that premium inflight catering demands. For passengers arriving from or continuing toward Barranquilla or Cartagena — respectively around 253 and 342 kilometres along the coast — we are equally comfortable composing menus that bridge Caribbean and interior Colombian traditions. Kosher requirements are accommodated with 24 hours' notice. Every menu is assembled, chilled or hot-held correctly, and packed to galley-ready standard before it reaches your aircraft.
