Catering to your aircraft in Wuhai.
Wuhai is a high, dry field, and the menu follows: lamb, dairy and grain that re-plate cleanly. We pack by seat number and hand over at the aircraft through 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.
Wuhai lies in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, where the Yellow River bends through the Wuhai basin and the table is built on herding country: mutton, beef, dairy and grain. A private jet menu for Wuhai starts from those products rather than from a generic hotel list. The inflight menu we write for ZBUH favours dishes that travel well, and our private jet food is cooked, chilled and packed so it re-plates cleanly in a galley with limited oven space.
Local specialities that suit an aircraft include hand-held lamb with its sauce packed apart, steamed buns and baked flatbreads that keep their crumb, and suutei tsai, the salted milk tea, sent hot in a thermal carafe. Dried milk curds and cheese pieces work as private jet snacks because they need no cooking at all. Each item is labelled by seat number and by what it needs: Oven, Sauce apart, Chilled or Re-plate cold. For Wuhai we plan gourmet inflight meals around the plateau's dry air, which dulls taste at altitude, so seasoning is firm and sauces stay in their own pot.

Dry cold, high ground and a plateau runway: that is the setting for private jet catering at Wuhai (ZBUH / WUA). Our team of former VIP flight attendants writes each menu around what your galley can actually do. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here mean milk tea, roast lamb and wheat dishes packed to re-plate without fuss. Aviation catering for business aviation catering clients and executive jet catering for owners is ordered on the same sheet. Diplomatic flight catering gets a protocol review first, and cabin crew meals are a separate line for the people working the flight.
Corporate jet catering out of ZBUH starts with who is flying and what the galley can do. Business jet catering for a small party might be one braised dish and cold plates; VIP flight catering adds a private jet chef and a bespoke menu. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering are written the same way: aircraft first.
Official parties flying through Wuhai need a menu approved by the protocol office, not the kitchen. Head of state flight catering and government flight catering share the same steps: named staff, sealed boxes, a clean handover. State visit aircraft catering and VIP aviation catering are quiet by design.
Special meals at Wuhai are handled as a procedure built on local cooking. Dairy and wheat run through much of the Inner Mongolia table, so for allergen free and gluten free requests we use a separate board and a separate box. Kosher and halal meals are sealed and delivered unopened; halal is straightforward with lamb and beef so common here. Vegan and kids meals are written around grain, vegetables and steamed items, and each is marked by seat number.
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.
When the flight deck needs feeding at ZBUH, crew meals are an order of their own, on request and invoiced as usual. Flight crew meals are simple and hearty; pilot meals are split between the two seats. Crew catering arrives labelled, cockpit meals eat with one hand, crew meal boxes stack in the drawer, and different meals for pilots are available on request. Cabin crew meals go on their own line of the order, apart from the pilots.
FBO catering at Wuhai means one handover: the food reaches the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is on your slot, through the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering run on the same sheet, so your crew deals with one contact.
Door height decides the work at Wuhai. A light jet takes its boxes by hand up the stairs, while a larger cabin may need a high loader raised to the galley door. Galley catering is packed for the galley you actually have, and airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent to the apron. Tell us the type and we plan aircraft provisioning around its storage and door.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.

Wuhai Airport serves a mining and industrial city on the Yellow River in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Airport catering here supports a small general aviation terminal and a plateau field at 3,650 feet, used by business aircraft and charter flights.
Wuhai is a business aviation hub in the loose sense: charter and corporate aircraft passing through a high-elevation field. FBO services and ground handling services are modest, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are arranged ahead. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft; diplomatic flight catering is protocol-led; cabin crew meals are a separate line.
Chinese customs restrict animal and plant products carried in from abroad, so locally prepared food is the simpler route at ZBUH. Check the current import rules with your handling agent before you fly.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“We kept the passenger brief simple at WUA: prawn salad and small fruit plates for 7 guests, organised with a revised passenger count in mind. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the salads properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. For inflight catering, that attention to galley preparation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at Wuhai Airport, where our order of chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 3 people involved different crew meal preferences. The side dishes came from The Galley Girls in stackable containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. My main takeaway from this in-flight catering order was the practical approach to storage requirements. The starters were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“Nothing about the 5 guest order at ZBUH called for excess complexity: just prawn salad and small fruit plates and sensible planning for a changing departure schedule. I would discuss vip inflight catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the starters before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
Consider two cases at WUA: crew only, or a full cabin. The first is a few boxes, the second is platters, hot dishes and desserts. How much does private jet catering cost depends on which you choose, and we quote that exact list.
Head-of-state and delegation movements bring seals, named staff and discretion. Lead time at Wuhai follows those steps. We accept last-minute requests and confirm what is possible once we have your slot and guest count.
On a tight departure, customs affects what you carry in, not what we load here. Locally sourced lamb and dairy are cooked in China and arrive sealed. Your handler can confirm what applies to your flight.
With a small galley, your own supplies compete with the passengers for space. We pack by aircraft type so a light jet receives shallow boxes and one oven item. Customs rules on food import are worth checking first.
No. Whether the aircraft is booked as a private jet charter or operated by its owner, the contract prices the aircraft and crew, and food is commissioned apart and billed apart, whatever the hour. A night or early morning leg from Wuhai needs a clear slot and a headcount, and we do the rest.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
