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

Local specialities from Lanzhou (Yongdeng) for your inflight catering

Gansu is a long corridor of loess hills, river valleys and desert edge, and its food is built on lamb, wheat and hardy vegetables rather than delicate seafood. For a private jet menu at Lanzhou Zhongchuan, that suits the galley well: hand-pulled wheat noodles, braised mutton and root vegetables travel better than most fine-dining plates. An inflight menu here usually mixes one signature local dish with an international plate for guests who want something familiar.

Private jet food from Gansu Province starts with Lanzhou beef noodle soup, the city's best-known dish, a clear beef broth with white radish, chilli oil, coriander and thin hand-pulled noodles. In a galley, the broth travels sealed and hot while the noodles are packed apart so they do not soften. Lily bulb from the Lanzhou area, sweet and slightly crisp, goes into cold plates and light soups. These local specialities appear on our private jet menu for ZLLL alongside plainer international options.

Gansu lamb is the second anchor: roasted, braised or cut into skewers with cumin and chilli, and best finished in the aircraft oven right before service. Yellow River carp and seasonal melons from the province round out a table that is mostly savoury and warming. We name these local specialities on the inflight menu so the flight attendant knows exactly what leaves the drawer and what needs the oven.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport (ZLLL)

For a cabin heading into Lanzhou (LHW), the question is usually what travels well from a province known for noodles, lamb and lily bulb. Our private jet catering at Zhongchuan International answers it with dishes that hold in a drawer and plate cleanly on board. In-flight catering for the guests, cabin crew meals for the people serving them, and diplomatic flight catering for official movements all follow the same procedure. Business aviation catering is handed over at the FBO or to your handling agent.

Gansu has a large Hui Muslim community, so halal cooking is a normal part of local kitchens and halal meals are straightforward to arrange here. Kosher, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals follow a procedure: separate board, separate box, seat number on the lid. Wheat noodles and soy sauce are the main hidden gluten and allergen risks in this cuisine, and kids meals are simple and mild.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport (LHW)

The aircraft type decides how food reaches the cabin at Zhongchuan: a light jet is carried up the stairs, a large cabin may need a high loader to the main door. Galley catering is packed to the galley you have, one oven or two, drawers or carts. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning for a heavier type is agreed in advance with the ramp. The size of your galley sets how we pack the order.

About the airportZLLL / LHW

Aviation catering and business aviation at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport (LHW)

Lanzhou Zhongchuan is the main gateway for Gansu Province, standing high above the river valley in a dry, cold plateau climate. Airport catering here serves a small but steady stream of business and government traffic. General aviation operates through the terminal designated for it.

Business aviation

The airport sees mostly business and official traffic, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through your handler. Inflight catering and in-flight catering at this altitude lean toward robust dishes, and aviation catering for business aviation catering orders covers both guests and crew. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same procedure, and cabin crew meals ride on every order. Lanzhou works as a business aviation hub for the northwest.

Customs & food import

China controls the import of fresh meat, dairy and produce strictly, so catering for inbound flights is best sourced locally. Leftovers and waste are managed under airport and handling rules. Confirm requirements with your handling agent before departure.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Despite different crew meal preferences, we wanted the 9 guests at LHW to enjoy prawn salad and small fruit plates without a complicated cabin service. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the breakfast portions and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The cabin team could match the snack boxes to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. This experience of in flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing portion planning on another departure.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Choosing roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 7 people at Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a family lunch request. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering services. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Several practical details needed attention at ZLLL, with avocado toast components and breakfast fruit requested for 6 guests and a short ground stop to accommodate. I want an inflight catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the side dishes to arrive in stackable containers. The canapés were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

Lanzhou (Yongdeng) in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight out of Lanzhou?+

For a delegation flight from ZLLL, how much does private jet catering cost depends on plating, the number of dietary versions and how many separate services are needed. Lamb and carp, being local, are often simpler to source than imported produce. Tell us what the flight looks like and we price that, with the invoice kept apart from any charter paperwork.

What lead time do you need for a short turnaround at Lanzhou Zhongchuan?+

Lead time at Lanzhou shrinks when you pick from the local repertoire: noodles, lamb, plateau vegetables. We pack against the slot your handler confirms, and last-minute orders are handled.

What about customs when catering a small or large aircraft into China?+

On a Chinese stop, inbound foods can be held or destroyed by customs, so most crews order catering locally. A bigger galley does not change the rules, only how much we can pack. Confirm the type and we advise on what is simplest.

Can you bring food from outside for a night departure from Lanzhou?+

A night departure rarely leaves room for surprises at customs, so we usually advise ordering in country. If your crew carries something personal, it is theirs to manage; the guest menu is better cooked here and handed to the FBO.

Is catering part of a charter on a long leg with two services on board?+

Is catering part of a charter into Lanzhou? No: it is a separate order, billed as catering and never folded into the charter price. For a long leg with two services, we prepare one hot and one lighter or cold set for the aircraft.
