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 Xiangyang (Xiangzhou) (XFN)

Hubei Province eats from the Hanjiang and the Yangtze: freshwater fish, lotus root, bamboo shoots, rice noodles and a long tradition of tea. Around Xiangyang the signature is beef noodle soup, a dish city cooks defend fiercely, with a dark, spiced broth that does not like to travel loose.

For a private jet menu out of Xiangzhou, we pack the broth in its own sealed container, noodles apart and the beef sliced, so the cabin crew can assemble a bowl in the galley. That is the kind of inflight menu that makes a Hubei sector feel local rather than imported.

Private jet food from this province leans on steamed Wuchang bream, braised pork with lotus root soup and sesame paste noodles. Each one is plated for the seat count, with sauce apart where it would soften the dish. We also build private jet platters of cold cuts, pickled vegetables and fruit from the Xiangyang area.

Local specialities such as three-steamed dishes, fish balls and Hubei-style rice wine desserts work well as gourmet inflight meals because they reheat cleanly. For lighter service, private jet snacks of roasted nuts, dried lotus seeds and tea pastries sit easily in a small galley drawer. Ask for Hubei Province dishes at ZHXF and we will tell you honestly which ones fly well.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Xiangyang Liuji Airport (XFN)

A business jet into Xiangyang Liuji usually carries a handful of executives on a day trip, so business jet catering here means a short list of dishes that survive a small galley. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are built around Hubei plates: steamed fish, lotus root stew and beef noodle soup. For charter flight catering, a private jet chef can write a bespoke menu to the seat count, with luxury inflight catering touches such as tea service in glass.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Xiangyang Liuji Airport (ZHXF)

Hubei cooking uses a lot of pork, fish sauce, wheat noodles and sesame, so allergens hide in broths and pastes more than on the plate. At Xiangyang Liuji we handle kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests as a separate preparation, and we mark allergen free and kids meals with the seat number so the crew can tell them apart. Special meals are written down with the order, not discovered at the aircraft.

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Xiangyang Liuji Airport

FBO catering at ZHXF is simple: one handover, to the FBO or the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering is agreed with your handling agent, who clears the vehicle and meets the crew. Catering delivery to the aircraft is on your slot, and handling agent catering means no one hunts for the trays.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Xiangyang Liuji Airport (ZHXF)

ZHXF is not a wide-body field, so most deliveries here go by van to a business jet or turboprop, and a high loader is rarely in play. If your type needs one, tell us when you order and we will say so. Galley catering is packed for the size of your galley, with airside catering delivery coordinated through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning noted on the order for the crew.

About the airportZHXF / XFN

General aviation and airport catering at Xiangyang Liuji Airport (XFN)

Xiangyang Liuji is a regional airport in Hubei Province, used for business flights and scheduled services. Airport catering here is small scale and local, and general aviation traffic is modest. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through the terminal.

Business aviation

This is not a busy business aviation hub, which makes ordering easy. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are all delivered to the same handover point. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering are available, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight.

Customs & food import

China regulates food entering and leaving the country on aircraft, and local sourcing avoids most questions. Catering cooked in Hubei Province is supplied to the aircraft with a seat list, so what is declared matches what is loaded. Ask your handling agent about current rules for your flight.

★★★★★CHARTER
“The cabin briefing at Xiangyang Liuji Airport included 9 passenger meals, a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, and instructions addressing a short ground stop. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the salads to arrive in clearly marked packs. The order made jet catering feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand. I could hand the snack boxes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“As the person coordinating a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 9 passengers at ZHXF, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. My main takeaway from this VIP flight catering order was the practical approach to meal organisation. I asked The Galley Girls for the fruit plates in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. The canapés stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”
Benjamin Y. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Food presentation mattered to our 3 guests, but different crew meal preferences also had to be considered when organising mushroom risotto and a green salad at XFN. My main takeaway from this charter flight catering order was the practical approach to galley preparation. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the breakfast portions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The snack boxes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Xiangyang (Xiangzhou) in five questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost at Xiangyang Liuji?+

How much does private jet catering cost? At XFN it comes from the dishes you pick and the passengers aboard. Beef noodle soup and hot dry noodles are cheaper to produce than steamed river fish. We never guess: we send a written quote by email first.

What is the lead time for catering at Xiangyang Liuji?+

Lead time here is simple to manage: one handling agent, one gate, one handover at the aircraft. Call or email, any hour, and we confirm the order. Late requests are handled too.

Do customs affect catering at Xiangyang Liuji?+

A late change in passenger count is the usual surprise at XFN. Customs expect the food on board to match the manifest, so we label by seat number and update the list when numbers change. Local ingredients avoid import questions.

Can you bring food to Xiangyang Liuji yourself?+

Can you bring food to XFN? Yes, but customs may question it, and your crew has limited duty time. Our crew meals, ordered on request and invoiced, are boxed for a short wait on the ground.

Is catering part of a charter into Xiangyang?+

No, a charter into Xiangyang does not cover meals. Chinese customs limit what imported food can be loaded, so we cook locally and invoice catering separately from the charter.
