Which handler will you deliver to at SMR?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft. Because we do not hold exclusivity with any single ground service provider at Santa Marta, simply confirm your handler's name when you place your order and we coordinate access directly with them.

Can you cater a flight repositioning to Barranquilla instead of departing from Santa Marta?

Yes. Barranquilla is 65 kilometres from Santa Marta and served by the same Altitude Dining planning desk. If your operation requires a repositioning departure, your order transfers seamlessly and your point of contact remains the same.

What is the lead time for standard catering at Santa Marta?

For most orders — cold and hot mains, crew meals, fresh fruit and chilled beverages — we ask for a minimum of a few hours' notice. Shorter lead times are handled case by case; contact us and we will confirm feasibility immediately. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours' notice.

Do you use local Colombian produce?

Yes. Santa Marta and the surrounding Caribbean coast offer exceptional ingredients: fresh-caught fish, tropical fruits and Sierra Nevada coffee and cocoa. We source regionally wherever quality and handling times permit, so menus are grounded in the place you are departing from.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free or halal?

All standard dietary requirements — vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal and low-sodium — are accommodated as part of our standard service. Please note your requirements at the time of ordering so our kitchen can prepare accordingly.

How is the food packaged for a short-runway departure where galley space may be limited?

Every order is packed galley-ready: courses separated, temperature-appropriate containers used for hot and cold items, and portions labelled clearly for in-flight service. We confirm galley configuration with you in advance and adjust packaging format to suit the aircraft on board.

The chef's menu at SMR

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenColombia

To start

Corvina Ceviche with Ají Dulce and Coconut Leche de Tigre

Fresh corvina from the Santa Marta coast, cured briefly in lime juice and dressed with mild ají dulce, thin-sliced red onion and a coconut-inflected leche de tigre. Served chilled in a sealed portion ready for cabin service.

Cold main

Caribbean Lobster and Avocado Tian

Cold-set layers of poached Caribbean lobster, ripe Hass avocado and a light citrus emulsion, finished with micro herbs. Portioned individually and chilled for service at altitude.

Hot main

Sancocho de Pescado

A slow-cooked coastal fish broth with yuca, green plantain, ñame and fresh cilantro — a canonical dish of the Colombian Caribbean, here refined for cabin service with a clean, concentrated stock and a separately packed garnish sachet.

Morning

Arepa de Choclo with Coastal Cheese and Guava Preserve

Sweet corn arepas served warm alongside a portion of costeño cheese and a small jar of guava preserve. A distinctly Colombian morning pairing that travels well and requires minimal galley preparation.

Pâtisserie

Sierra Nevada Single-Origin Chocolate Tart

A dark chocolate ganache tart made with cocoa grown on Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta slopes, set in a thin shortcrust case and finished with flaked sea salt. Rich but balanced, suitable as a flight-end course.

To finish

Lulo and Maracuyá Mousse

A lightly set mousse combining the sharp, aromatic lulo fruit with the floral acidity of maracuyá, topped with a thin layer of passion fruit gel. Served chilled in an individual glass jar, ready to plate or eat directly.

Inflight Catering · Santa Marta

Santa Marta private jet catering

The Caribbean coast of Colombia produces ingredients of rare intensity: aromatic coastal herbs, just-caught fish from the warm shallows, tropical fruits — lulo, guanábana, maracuyá — that ripen under near-continuous sun. Santa Marta's position at the foot of the Sierra Nevada also grants access to highland-grown coffee and cocoa celebrated far beyond this region. Our sourcing teams draw on both coastal and mountain producers, meaning your galley reflects the full geographical range of a place that is genuinely unlike anywhere else in South America. Santa Marta private jet catering from Altitude Dining is built around this Caribbean-Andean duality. A cold seafood course might feature snapper landed that morning at the Mercado Público; a dessert course might centre on single-origin chocolate grown on Sierra Nevada slopes. The culinary narrative of your flight begins the moment the aircraft door closes.

Regional Catering Menu · Santa Marta

Inflight catering menu for Santa Marta

Coastal Colombian cooking rewards restraint: a ceviche of fresh corvina dressed with lime and ají dulce needs very little else. We compose menus that honour this directness — clean acids, vivid colour, heat used as accent rather than assault. For longer sectors, we transition naturally from the coast's light ceviches and patacones through richer inland preparations: slow-cooked sancocho de pescado, arroz con coco de Cartagena, or herb-crusted beef from the Cesar valley inland toward Valledupar. Passengers travelling onward toward Barranquilla or beyond into the interior often request menus that bridge Colombian coastal tradition with European service standards — courses plated individually, temperature-held components separated for galley assembly, wines selected to complement tropical acidity. We calibrate every delivery to the galley equipment actually on board, and our team is available around the clock to adjust quantities or specifications as flight plans evolve.
