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

Higashikagura on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at AKJ

Hokkaidō is where Japan's dairy, potatoes, corn and cold-water seafood come from, and a private jet menu from Asahikawa Airport draws on all of it. Local specialities such as Furano melon in summer, scallops and crab from the northern coast, and Asahikawa shoyu ramen broth travel well when planned for the galley.

A private jet menu in Higashikagura starts with what the Hokkaidō Prefecture season gives: milk, cheese, butter, salmon, sweet corn, asparagus. The inflight menu for RJEC keeps the cold items chilled and the soups sealed. Private jet food built on these local specialities reads as regional without needing a kitchen on board.

For Hokkaidō Prefecture, the inflight menu leans on dairy and cold-sea produce: butter-rich pastries, grilled salmon, snow crab, soup curry components packed apart. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all start from these local specialities, with the sauce or broth in its own container.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Higashikagura (RJEC)

Business jet catering at Asahikawa is usually a small party on a short hop to or from Sapporo-area business, often a light or midsize type with a one-oven galley. Corporate jet catering here means cold plates with a hot item or two, VIP flight catering for key passengers, and charter flight catering that sits outside the charter price. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu once we know the seats, and luxury inflight catering uses Hokkaidō seafood and dairy at their best.

VIP aviation catering is delivered to the aircraft through your handling agent.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Asahikawa Airport

Special meals at RJEC are built around Hokkaidō's dairy-heavy and soy-heavy kitchens, where milk, butter, soy sauce and fish stock turn up in dishes that look plain. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and packed on a separate board and sealed apart from the guest trays. Kids meals follow the same labelling by seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Asahikawa Airport

A Hokkaidō winter turnaround leaves little time to sit, so crew catering here favours dishes that hold heat. Crew meals and flight crew meals are added on request, and pilot meals can be packed apart as cockpit meals so the captain and first officer never share a plate. Crew meal boxes carry labels by seat, and different meals for pilots are available on request. Cabin crew meals for the Asahikawa turnaround are ordered with the flight and packed apart from the pilot boxes.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Asahikawa Airport (RJEC)

At RJEC, your FBO or handling agent receives the order airside. FBO catering is built for the slot you give us, with catering delivery to the FBO planned around snow clearing. Ground handling catering, handling agent catering and the general aviation terminal all follow the same handover.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Asahikawa Airport (AKJ)

Asahikawa Airport sees mostly light and mid-size business jets, so galley catering is usually carried aboard by hand or small cart rather than a high loader. For larger cabins, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley and door height of the type. Tell us the aircraft and we plan the load around it.

About the airportRJEC / AKJ

Aviation catering and business aviation at Asahikawa Airport (AKJ)

Asahikawa Airport serves Hokkaidō's interior with a mix of domestic traffic and general aviation. Airport catering for private tails fits around the terminal's quiet hours, with FBO services and ground handling services arranged through your handling agent.

Business aviation

Asahikawa is a modest business aviation hub, busy in ski season and during Hokkaidō's summer events. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for private tails, aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all follow the same plane-side handover at RJEC. General aviation here is seasonal.

Customs & food import

Japan controls imports of meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables, so food brought in from abroad is inspected at the border. For orders at Asahikawa, local sourcing avoids that step: we cook in Japan, and your handling agent receives the sealed order at the aircraft.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Before our guests boarded at RJEC, we needed herb chicken with a quinoa salad divided into 3 portions suitable for limited fridge space. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement. We changed the quantities of desserts, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

Diego I. | VIP flight attendant

Gulfstream G550

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“A request for vegetarian wraps and colourful salads, 9 passengers, and different crew meal preferences: that was our brief for the departure at AKJ. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the salads, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the desserts before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. My main takeaway from this flight catering services order was the practical approach to meal organisation.”

David Z. | Chief cabin officer

★★★★☆CHARTER

“Between cabin checks at Asahikawa Airport, I coordinated poached fish with steamed rice for 2 guests and explained our concerns about a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls labelled the desserts in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. Keeping the crew provisions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. I would discuss airline catering with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination.”

What crews ask before HigashikaguraAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Asahikawa when the handling agent controls airside access?+

Quotes at RJEC come per menu. The handling agent and airside access only change how it reaches the aircraft, not what you are charged for the food. Seasonal seafood costs more than dairy-based plates, and a late change to the order is priced the same way as any other line.

What is the lead time for a night departure or early morning slot from Asahikawa?+

Night departures at Asahikawa are no obstacle: we work day and night. What speeds things up is a precise slot and any dietary codes up front. Late changes are taken, and the handover stays with the FBO or handling agent.

What about customs on a return leg ordered from Asahikawa for the way back?+

Return catering ordered at AKJ means no leftovers carried across a border. Japanese customs examine fresh produce and animal products, so a new order, labelled and sealed, is easier than explaining what is in the drawer.

Can you bring food into Asahikawa when the season or weather window decides departures?+

You can bring sealed, packaged items, but fresh and animal-based food is controlled by Japanese customs. When snow or fog moves a departure at Asahikawa, ordering here means your food adapts to the new slot instead of sitting aboard.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Asahikawa, and does the aircraft type matter?+

Charters sell the flight; food is a separate order. At RJEC the galley of your type shapes the menu, so we ask for the type first. That avoids packing a hot dinner for a cabin without an oven.
