Does the high elevation at Jauja affect how you prepare the food?

Yes. At over 11,000 feet, cabin pressure in a parked aircraft is still close to ambient, and passenger perception of salt, sweetness, and aroma changes at altitude. We adjust seasoning and sauce concentrations in our high-altitude menu builds to compensate, so dishes taste as intended once airborne.

Can you cater a flight departing Jauja at short notice?

We respond to all enquiries within ten minutes, 24 hours a day. Very short lead times may limit the fresh-local component, but core galley-ready options from our Lima hub can be dispatched rapidly. Contact us as early as possible for the fullest menu range.

Which FBO or handler should we use at JAU?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at Jauja. Simply confirm your handling agent when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with that team for ramp access and delivery timing.

Are Kosher meals available on departures from Jauja?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, sourced through our certified supplier network and transported under sealed cold-chain conditions from Lima.

Do you provide crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Crew meals are a standard part of every Altitude Dining order from Jauja. They are packaged separately, labelled clearly, and priced independently so your crew always has appropriate provisions regardless of the passenger menu.

Can I order catering for a connecting flight that passes through Jauja rather than originating there?

Absolutely. Whether you are topping up provisions mid-journey or provisioning fully for an onward leg, our single point of contact manages the order against your confirmed block time at JAU and ensures delivery is timed to your turnaround.

Inflight catering for Jauja flights

Jauja sits in the Mantaro Valley, a high-altitude agricultural corridor that has fed the Andes for centuries. The valley's cool, oxygen-thin air produces remarkable ingredients — papas nativas in dozens of varieties, broad-leaved huacatay, fresh trout from Andean streams, and kiwicha grain that has sustained this landscape since pre-Inca times. Our sourcing network reaches into this valley directly, so the produce aboard your aircraft reflects the terroir of the region rather than a generic Lima wholesale market. The town of Jauja itself is considered one of the oldest European-founded cities in South America, carrying a cultural weight that we reflect in how we compose our menus here. Lima, 181 kilometres to the west, provides the broader logistics backbone — central kitchen production, bonded dry goods, and specialist imported items — while Jauja's own market supplies the fresh and hyper-local elements that make a menu genuinely of this place.

Regional Catering Menu · Jauja

Jauja private jet catering

The Mantaro Valley's canon of dishes is built around slow-cooked stews, Andean grains, and freshwater fish. For private jet catering at JAU, we draw on that tradition selectively: pachamanca-spiced lamb prepared sous-vide for galley-safe reheating, trout ceviche with yellow ají and cancha corn served cold, and kiwicha porridge with Andean honey for morning departures. Each preparation is tested for palatability at altitude, where cabin pressure suppresses certain flavour frequencies — seasoning is adjusted accordingly. Beyond the Andean core, we maintain full international menu capability sourced through our Lima production hub, ensuring guests who prefer European or Asian profiles are equally served. Kosher meals are available with 24 hours' advance notice. All items are packed galley-ready, labelled by course and temperature requirement, and delivered in insulated carriers sized to your aircraft's galley configuration.
