Catering to your aircraft in Xiamen.

Xiamen is a coastal city and its airport reflects it: sea air, humid summers, a lot of corporate traffic. We write the menu for your crew and your cabin, and deliver to the FBO.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Xiamen (XMN)

Xiamen Gaoqi sits in Fujian Province, on a coast where the private jet menu is built around the sea. Xiamen's local specialities are what guests ask about first: oyster omelette, peanut-based soups, sea worm jelly for the adventurous, fresh-caught fish steamed with ginger.

An inflight menu for Xiamen starts from what holds up in a galley oven or on a cold plate. Fujian tea, especially oolong and Tieguanyin, is the easy win: private jet food that needs no cooking, served at the right temperature, with the pot and cups packed to match.

Minnan cuisine leans on broth, shellfish and rice noodles, all of which need care to survive the leg. Local specialities that travel well go cold; the ones that need heat arrive with the sauce apart, so your crew finishes them on board.

If your guests want something simpler, the private jet menu can stay Western or pan-Asian, with a Fujian dish or two as a nod to Xiamen. Last-minute changes to the cabin count are handled by phone, day or night.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (ZSAM)

Gaoqi sits on Xiamen's northern shore, and the Fujian coast decides what is good on a plate here: oysters, sea bass, rice noodles, tea. Private jet catering at ZSAM follows that coast. We write the menu for your galley, from inflight catering for a quiet two-pax leg to aviation catering for a full cabin. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, with cabin crew meals ordered alongside.

Luxury inflight catering here means a private jet chef working from Fujian ingredients on a bespoke menu built around your galley.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport

Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals at Xiamen follow a procedure, not a label. Fujian cooking uses soy, shellfish paste, peanuts and fish sauce widely, so we read each dish for hidden allergens before it reaches the galley. Special meals and kids meals are packed in sealed boxes marked by seat number, kept apart from the guest trays.

About the airportZSAM / XMN

Airport catering at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (ZSAM)

Airport catering at Xiamen Gaoqi serves a general aviation apron beside a busy commercial airfield, with FBO services and ground handling services for business jets. It is one of Fujian Province's main gateways, and the terrain and the weather shape every order.

Business aviation

Xiamen is a business aviation hub for the Fujian coast, where inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned around humidity and heat. Aviation catering for executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and business aviation catering is adapted to the season, and cabin crew meals are ordered alongside for the whole flight deck.

Customs & food import

China regulates food import tightly, and that shapes every order at Xiamen: meat, dairy and fresh produce are the usual problems at inspection. We pack sealed, label by seat and list contents, so clearance is short and the galley is stocked within the rules.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“With different crew meal preferences to consider at XMN, we needed a practical way to serve chicken skewers with a couscous salad to 5 passengers. With private jet meals, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The fruit plates supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the snack boxes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Several practical details needed attention at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, with a mezze selection with flatbreads requested for 2 guests and a late menu amendment to accommodate. With private jet menu, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the side dishes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the sandwiches properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
Manon S. | FBO operator
Gulfstream G650
★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Rather than an elaborate service at ZSAM, our 12 guests wanted roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, organised sensibly around a family lunch request. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the salads before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I want a private jet chef to understand crew briefing, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Xiamen in five questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Xiamen Gaoqi?+

Cost at Gaoqi is set order by order. A cold lunch for four and a hot dinner for ten are priced separately, and so is any airside access the handling agent needs to arrange.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at ZSAM?+

What makes ordering easy at Gaoqi is a menu built on Fujian staples we can adjust. Count changes, swaps and last-minute orders are all handled over the phone.

What do customs mean for crew duty time and waiting on the ground at Xiamen?+

Waiting on the ground at Gaoqi counts against crew duty. Food that is sealed, labelled and listed clears more cleanly, which is why we pack with a manifest and mark every box.

Can you bring food into China on a private jet?+

You can try, but customs may remove meat, fruit and dairy. Can you bring food on board from abroad? Often not without trouble. Ordering from us in Xiamen keeps the galley stocked within local rules.

Is catering part of a charter for a return leg out of Xiamen?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter: it is ordered and invoiced on its own. If the aircraft flies back from Gaoqi, give us the outbound and the return together and we prepare both orders.
