Catering to your aircraft in Yangzhou.
Yangzhou Taizhou sits among canals and rice fields, and its business traffic is small and steady. Your crew gets a Jiangsu menu, sealed and labelled, ready for the galley you actually have.
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.
Yangzhou belongs to the Huaiyang tradition of Jiangsu Province, and the private jet menu we write for Yangzhou Taizhou starts there. Local specialities such as lion's head meatballs, Yangzhou fried rice and wensi tofu soup shape the inflight menu, and private jet food from this kitchen is cut and plated with the galley in mind.
Private jet food in Jiangsu Province leans on freshwater fish, bamboo shoots and slow braising. For ZSYA we turn those local specialities into an inflight menu that survives a small oven: braised dishes travel well, delicate soups travel with the broth apart, and every private jet menu lists what is served cold.

Yangzhou Taizhou sits on flat Jiangsu delta ground at seven feet above sea level, and the kitchen that feeds its business aircraft cooks Huaiyang dishes first. Private jet catering here means river fish, braised pork and fine-cut noodles packed for a real galley. Inflight catering and in-flight catering at YTY follow the aircraft type, and aviation catering for a short hop is a different tray from a long sector. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all run on the same pack, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately.
Business jet catering at Yangzhou Taizhou usually starts with a short brief: six passengers, a morning slot, a light jet. Corporate jet catering here favours braised dishes that reheat well, VIP flight catering adds a plated course, and charter flight catering follows the guest list. Luxury inflight catering comes with a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around Huaiyang cooking.
Government flight catering at Yangzhou Taizhou follows protocol: named team, traceable ingredients, sealed delivery. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared by the protocol office before cooking starts, and VIP aviation catering stays discreet at the apron.
Huaiyang cooking hides allergens in places a guest would not look: peanuts in cold dressings, shrimp roe in dumpling fillings, soy and wheat in nearly every braise. For Yangzhou Taizhou we cook kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals on a separate board, label each by seat number, and pack kids meals apart from the main service.
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.
For a crew into YTY, pilot meals and flight crew meals come boxed and marked CREW. Cockpit meals are easy to eat one-handed, crew catering follows the operator's policy, and crew meal boxes are packed once. Different meals for pilots are written in, and cabin crew meals sit in a separate box.
At ZSYA, catering delivery to the FBO goes through the general aviation terminal gate, and your handling agent receives the order. FBO catering and ground handling catering follow the departure slot, and handling agent catering ends at the aircraft door.
Yangzhou Taizhou handles mostly business jets and light aircraft, so galley catering is carried by hand or on a small cart rather than by high loader. For a larger cabin we agree with your handling agent how airside catering delivery reaches the door, and aircraft provisioning is planned against the galley layout rather than the menu.
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.
ZSYA handles mostly domestic and light business traffic. Airport catering reaches it through the FBO and the general aviation terminal, and ground handling services coordinate the apron.
Yangzhou Taizhou is a small business aviation hub in Jiangsu. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are matched to the tail, aviation catering and business aviation catering get a printed plan, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the passenger list, and cabin crew meals have their own box. General aviation here relies on FBO services.
Customs at ZSYA are strict on foreign food, so we cook in Jiangsu and seal on delivery. The order is clear to declare, and your handler confirms what must stay aboard.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Several practical details needed attention at ZSYA, with chicken skewers with a couscous salad requested for 3 guests and several individual meal preferences to accommodate. I wanted clear identification on the starters; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The sandwiches were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. Our brief for in-flight catering was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation.”
“Service planning came first at YTY, with 2 passengers choosing vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection and a short ground stop influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls kept the side dishes separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the sauces ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. The order made vip inflight catering feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand.”
“On this departure from Yangzhou Taizhou Airport, 12 passengers had chosen beef fillet with roasted potatoes, and several individual meal preferences needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls updated the desserts in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. I would discuss private jet catering with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination. There was no need to reconstruct the side dishes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
Tell us whether the leg is a pure reposition or a revenue flight. Reposition orders are small and quick to quote; a guest order with local dishes is larger. How much does private jet catering cost at Yangzhou Taizhou is a question of that difference, answered in the quote.
State and delegation flights into Yangzhou Taizhou are planned around protocol. We work with your handling agent, agree the menu in writing and keep changes open; last-minute orders are handled.
On a short turnaround at ZSYA, the real risk is an inspection that eats the slot. Food cooked in Jiangsu and sealed on arrival avoids most of it, while foreign leftovers on board may be held. We agree the rules with your handler.
Food from home may be held by customs, and it rarely suits a small galley. We cook to the tail's galley, label everything, and hand it to your handling agent.
Is catering part of a charter? No. Order it separately, invoice it separately, and add a night or dawn slot to the request so we cook for it.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
