Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Zaqatala on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at ZTU

Zaqatala District is hazelnut country, and the private jet menu here leans on it: nut-crusted pastries, halva-style sweets and local honey that travel well in a sealed container. For a private jet menu out of Zaqatala, think of the inflight menu as a short list of things the district does properly rather than a long list of things it could imitate. Private jet food from this part of Azerbaijan often starts with river trout, lamb with dried fruit and herb-filled flatbreads. Local specialities such as Shaki-style layered sweets keep their shape in a drawer. Private jet platters of cheese, walnuts and preserves, gourmet inflight meals built on Caucasus produce and private jet snacks of roasted hazelnuts and dried cherries fill out the rest of the Zaqatala District table.

We handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for visiting crews, aviation catering for regional charters, business aviation catering for corporate trips, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official movements, and cabin crew meals on request, all handed over at the aircraft.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Zaqatala International Airport (ZTU)

Business jet catering at Zaqatala is usually a small brief: four to eight guests, a light jet, a menu built from the district's produce. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering for UBBY lean on hazelnuts, honey and river trout, while charter flight catering for visiting groups adds platters that need no oven. Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around what is in season, rather than shipping in a generic list.

Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering for official visits follow the same route, and state visit aircraft catering is confirmed against the delegation's dietary notes.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Zaqatala International Airport (UBBY)

Special meals at Zaqatala are a procedure built around the local kitchen, where hazelnuts and walnuts run through pastries, sauces and even bread fillings, so allergen free work starts by separating every nut item. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free plates are cooked on their own boards and boxed apart, kids meals are kept plain and sealed, and each dish carries the seat number so the cabin crew serves the right tray.

FBO catering at Zaqatala International Airport (ZTU): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at UBBY is handed over at the aircraft by arrangement with the handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO, or plane-side if the apron permits, goes through the general aviation terminal, with ground handling catering coordinated on the day. Handling agent catering means one contact for the vehicle, the gate and the apron.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Zaqatala International Airport (UBBY)

Aircraft type decides how the load goes in at UBBY: a light jet takes boxes through the cabin door by hand, while a larger cabin may need airside catering delivery with a high loader arranged through the handling agent. Galley catering is packed to the galley on board, aircraft provisioning is agreed against the tail, and heavier trays go in first so the drawers close cleanly.

About the airportUBBY / ZTU

About Zaqatala International Airport (UBBY): aviation catering and general aviation

UBBY is a foothill airport where general aviation matters more than scheduled traffic. Airport catering here is built around handling agent coordination and ground handling services that suit a quiet apron, with FBO services kept practical.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a big word for a small field, but Zaqatala does get inflight catering demand when mountain tourism and regional charters peak. Aviation catering and in-flight catering for crews are the same service as anywhere, business aviation catering is built for the aircraft type, and executive jet catering is packed to each galley. Diplomatic flight catering follows protocol; cabin crew meals are ordered on request.

Customs & food import

Azerbaijan regulates imported food, especially meat, dairy and plant products, and inspection can happen at the border. Food cooked in the country avoids that, which is why local sourcing suits Zaqatala. Check the rules for anything carried in on arrival.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 9 guests at UBBY to enjoy fresh fruit and breakfast pastries without a complicated cabin service. I want an aviation catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the desserts had been grouped. We could account for the sauces before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Getting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing ready for 6 guests at ZTU required an order that accounted for a short ground stop. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of canapés with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. We also checked the sauces before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“It was the packing plan I cared about at Zaqatala International Airport, with 2 servings of smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit and a late menu amendment to consider. The Galley Girls kept the canapés separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The starters stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence.”

The Zaqatala International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short turnaround at Zaqatala?+

Seasonal produce changes the price more than the airport does: cherries in summer, walnuts in autumn, cheaper than imported berries in January. Pair that with the length of your turnaround and you have the real answer to what private jet catering costs here.

What is the lead time for catering at UBBY through the handling agent?+

Lead time here is mostly a coordination question, not a kitchen one: who opens the gate, who meets the vehicle at the apron. Send the tail and handler and we line it up; late changes are handled.

What do customs mean for inflight catering into Zaqatala?+

International arrivals at UBBY go through border control, and food on board may be inspected. Catering ordered locally comes with a clean paper trail, and a longer turnaround gives more room if inspection is needed.

Can you bring food on board yourself at Zaqatala, and how does the handling agent treat it?+

You can bring food, but it passes through the handling agent and airside access like anything else, and Azerbaijani customs may check animal products. Many crews find it simpler to order locally and avoid the questions.

Is catering part of a charter into Zaqatala?+

Catering stays outside a charter agreement and is ordered and invoiced separately, like any other request. At UBBY the length of the turn decides whether it is a hot service or a cold one.
