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

The Haidong (Huzhu Tu Autonomous County) table, packed for private jet catering

Qinghai Province is a plateau cuisine: hand-pulled noodles, braised lamb, barley flour and yak butter. For a private jet menu out of Xining, we keep the lamb on the bone, the broth in its own container and the noodles separate so they do not swell in transit.

The inflight menu leans on what keeps well in a galley drawer: roasted barley cakes, dried fruit, lamb skewers and a light tomato and potato stew. Private jet food from this region is warming rather than rich, which suits a guest who has just landed at altitude.

Local specialities from Qinghai, including goji berries, highland barley tea and yak yoghurt, come labelled by seat number. We confirm what is in season in Qinghai Province before we cook, so the private jet menu is never padded with imports.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Xining Caojiabao International Airport (ZLXN)

Qinghai's high plateau decides the menu before anyone opens the galley. Our private jet catering for ZLXN uses lamb, barley, yak dairy and clear broths, packed for a cabin pressurised to altitude. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all start from the same brief, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Xining Caojiabao International Airport for VIP flights

For a business jet out of Xining, the brief is usually short: how many guests, what they will eat at altitude, and what the galley can finish. Our business jet catering and corporate jet catering are written by a private jet chef as a bespoke menu, with VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering for guests who expect a full service. Charter flight catering at ZLXN follows the same logic, with the slot and the seat plan set before cooking starts.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Xining Caojiabao International Airport

Handover at ZLXN is through the FBO. FBO catering is coordinated with your handling agent, and catering delivery to the FBO means food is brought to the general aviation terminal and passed to the aircraft. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the airfield's access rules, so the door at the apron opens for the right person.

About the airportZLXN / XNN

About Xining Caojiabao International Airport (ZLXN): aviation catering and general aviation

Xining Caojiabao is the main gateway to Qinghai Province and sits on a high plateau, so airport catering here is planned around altitude, dry air and a cold season that can move the schedule. For general aviation, the terminal and the apron are the places where a handover is actually made. FBO services and ground handling services at ZLXN decide who can reach the aircraft and when the door opens.

Business aviation

Operators at ZLXN usually fly with a purpose rather than on a rotation, which makes Xining a quiet business aviation hub for the province. We provide inflight catering and in-flight catering matched to the aircraft and the trip, covering aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering, plus cabin crew meals and crew meals on request.

Customs & food import

China regulates imported food closely, meat and dairy above all, so food cooked locally avoids most customs questions at Xining. For general aviation arrivals, your FBO services provider and ground handling services team can confirm which leftovers must be declared before the aircraft leaves.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Having 9 guests request chicken skewers with a couscous salad at XNN meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the starters properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for portion planning.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“A request for a cheese board and savoury canapés, 4 passengers, and two separate meal services: that was our brief for the departure at Xining Caojiabao International Airport. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the sandwiches had been grouped. Knowing where the desserts were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. Our brief for flight catering services was met with a sensible plan for crew briefing.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Clear quantities were essential at ZLXN: we had 11 passengers expecting roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and were working around a short ground stop. The breakfast portions came from The Galley Girls in divided catering boxes, with a packing list that matched the contents. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about airline catering. The main courses were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”

The Xining Caojiabao International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Xining?+

Cost is set per menu, not per tray. If six guests become four on the day at ZLXN, we rework portions and packaging so you are not paying for a cabin that is not flying.

What is the lead time for catering at Xining Caojiabao?+

Crew duty time is the real constraint at Xining. We build the order around when you can actually receive it and what the galley can finish. Last-minute orders are handled.

What are the customs rules for inflight catering in China?+

Before you land at ZLXN, check what you are carrying: fresh meat, cheese and fruit are the usual items held by customs in China. Locally cooked food arrives already cleared.

Can you bring food into China on a private jet, or must you order locally?+

You can bring your own food, but local catering at Xining Caojiabao is easier on customs and usually fresher. A return leg can be ordered from here and handed over at the FBO.

Is catering part of a charter into Xining?+

Charter and catering are separate at ZLXN. Catering is ordered with the tail and slot and invoiced like any other order, and an empty-cabin positioning leg often needs none.
