Catering to your aircraft in Luoyang (Laocheng).
At 840 ft on the Henan plain, Luoyang Beijiao sees its busiest weeks when the peonies bloom. We prepare local dishes for the galley you actually have and deliver them to your handling agent.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Henan Province is the heartland of Zhongyuan cooking, and Luoyang is its most recognisable table. A private jet menu for Luoyang Beijiao starts with the Luoyang water banquet, a sequence of soups and braised dishes built to be eaten in order. An inflight menu adapted from it keeps the soups sealed in their own containers and the braises ready for the oven.
Private jet food from Luoyang means local specialities with a clear logic. Hui mian, the hand-pulled noodle served in broth, travels with the broth apart and the noodles chilled until you re-plate. Peony cake, a delicate pastry tied to the city's flower, rides in the cold drawer and comes out looking exactly as it left the kitchen.
Henan Province gives us wheat, sesame and slow-cooked meats rather than delicate seafood. For a private jet menu at ZHLY we pack steamed buns, braised lamb and pickled vegetables in separate containers, so each element is finished at its own temperature. Local specialities stay local, but every dish is cut and portioned for the galley you actually have.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Luoyang Beijiao sits at 840 ft in the Henan plain, and its business aviation traffic swells when the peony festival opens in spring. Private jet catering for ZHLY is built around that rhythm: Henan dishes packed for your galley, handed over at the FBO or at the aircraft. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here lean on noodles, soups and braised dishes that survive a re-plate. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders share one brief, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are priced per menu like everything else.
Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at LYA usually start from a short brief: a light jet, four to six passengers, a lunch that needs no cooking on board. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same path, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around Henan flavours and luxury inflight catering touches like sealed soups and hand-plated pastries.
Government flight catering at Luoyang follows a protocol cleared before anything is cooked. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are handled by a named team, with state visit aircraft catering traceable item by item and delivered discreetly to the aircraft.
Henan cooking leans on wheat, sesame, peanut oil and soy, so the allergens that hide in Luoyang kitchens are gluten, sesame and peanut, often inside sauces and broths. For kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders we cook on a separate board and pack in a separate box, marked by seat number. Special meals and kids meals follow the same procedure, and your operator's SPML codes are matched line by line.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals at Luoyang are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed apart from guest trays, so nobody opens a passenger box by mistake. Crew catering can be hot or cold, and crew meal boxes are marked CREW. We offer different meals for pilots when the operator policy asks for it, and cabin crew meals follow the same route.
FBO catering at Luoyang Beijiao is handed over at the general aviation terminal or straight to the aircraft on your slot. We work with your handling agent on ground handling catering, so catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with the ramp, and handling agent catering stays part of one clear brief.
For galley catering at Luoyang Beijiao, the aircraft type decides the loading: a light jet takes a hand-carried box set, while a large cabin may need a high loader at the door. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the galley layout, oven count and drawer space before anything is packed.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Luoyang Beijiao works as a small business aviation hub for central China. Airport catering follows the same standards as larger fields, and general aviation crews can count on FBO services and ground handling services.
Business aviation at Luoyang rises each spring with the peony festival. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders pick up, aviation catering menus lean towards Henan cuisine, and business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all use the same brief. Cabin crew meals are ordered with the rest.
Customs rules in China shape every catering order at LYA. Foreign food may be inspected or removed, so we source locally, label everything, and advise confirming departure rules with your handling agent.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Despite a revised passenger count, we wanted the 12 guests at Luoyang Beijiao Airport to enjoy a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides without a complicated cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the snack boxes; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I want a private jet catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. I found the sandwiches without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
“Breakfast was already sorted; at ZHLY, the next request was mushroom risotto and a green salad for 7 guests, with different crew meal preferences to work around. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience. The snack boxes came from The Galley Girls in compact food boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the main courses in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
“Rather than an elaborate service at LYA, our 2 guests wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes, organised sensibly around limited fridge space. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about crew briefing. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the side dishes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the crew provisions without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
Think of the order as a list of dishes, each with a price. A passenger who joins at Luoyang adds one portion of each item, and one who drops out removes it. That is how private jet catering is costed here.
Duty time leaves little room for waiting, so we advise ordering as soon as the slot is known. Peony-season weekends are busier, but last-minute orders are handled.
Chinese customs regulations on food import apply on arrival at ZHLY. Leftover catering from a flight in may be restricted, so plan for local provisioning on departure.
Passengers may carry their own food, though customs rules in China can limit what enters. For the return leg, we recommend ordering from LYA: the second menu arrives with the first.
No, catering is a separate line. For an empty repositioning leg into LYA, order only what the crew needs, and pay for it as its own invoice.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
