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

What Omitama brings to your in-flight catering (IBR)

Ibaraki Prefecture feeds a large share of the Tokyo table, and the private jet menu at Ibaraki Airport draws on it directly. Local specialities such as Hitachi beef, Kasama chestnuts, sweet potatoes from Hokota and the region's famous melons give an inflight menu real character without leaving the galley under strain.

Omitama sits in farm country, so private jet food here starts with what is in season: Hitachi beef for a seared slice served cold, nattō for guests who know it, hot-spring-cured eggs, lotus root from Kasumigaura and chestnut sweets. Each local speciality is packed to travel, with sauces apart and a clear note on how to re-plate it at altitude.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ibaraki Airport (RJAH)

A single long runway shared with the Air Self-Defense Force, and a terminal built for a modest number of civil departures: that is the Ibaraki Airport (RJAH) that crews meet in Omitama. Our private jet catering is written for that rhythm, with inflight catering packed for the galley you actually have, aviation catering that respects Japanese food import rules, and business aviation catering for corporate trips heading to Tokyo or beyond. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all cooked and labelled by former VIP flight attendants.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Ibaraki Airport (IBR)

Corporate jet catering out of RJAH usually begins with the cabin: a business jet leaving Omitama often seats four to eight, so the order is cut to the galley rather than to a large menu. A private jet chef can build a bespoke menu around Ibaraki produce, and business jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all follow that same method. For inflight catering and in-flight catering on longer sectors toward Tokyo or beyond, we pack so the crew can re-plate in the galley without fuss, and luxury inflight catering is the same dishes finished with more care at the aircraft.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Ibaraki Airport (IBR)

Government flight catering at Ibaraki starts with protocol: the office clears the menu, we cook it, and nothing leaves the kitchen unchecked. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow the same path, and state visit aircraft catering is planned with the delegation's own security.

FBO catering at Ibaraki Airport (IBR): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Ibaraki means a handover at the aircraft, coordinated with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are planned to your slot, and the general aviation terminal receives the boxes if the apron is closed. Handling agent catering is the same service, with the same labels.

About the airportRJAH / IBR

General aviation and airport catering at Ibaraki Airport (IBR)

Airport catering at Ibaraki is shaped by the field itself: a long runway, a small terminal and mixed civil and military use. General aviation traffic is modest, and FBO services and ground handling services are straightforward for light and midsize aircraft.

Business aviation

As a business aviation hub for the northern Kanto region, Ibaraki is useful for corporate trips that avoid Tokyo's busier fields. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are planned for small cabins, aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the season, executive jet catering adapts to the aircraft, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals complete the order.

Customs & food import

Importing food into Japan means plant and animal quarantine checks, so a menu built locally is simpler for Ibaraki. We tell you what to expect from customs, and what can stay on board for the next leg.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Several practical details needed attention at Ibaraki Airport, with a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables requested for 8 guests and different crew meal preferences to accommodate. For private jet meals, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage. The desserts from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the breakfast portions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Nothing about the 4 guest order at RJAH called for excess complexity: just roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings and sensible planning for a small galley worktop. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the starters and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. This experience of private jet menu gave us a useful reference for managing crew briefing on another departure.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“As the person coordinating a cheese board and savoury canapés for 5 passengers at IBR, I needed an arrangement that considered a revised passenger count. The snack boxes supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. I found the side dishes without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. I want a private jet chef to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Before you order at RJAHAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a quick turnaround at Ibaraki?+

Quotes for Ibaraki are built dish by dish. A short turnaround pushes us toward items that hold and re-plate easily, which are also the cheaper ones. Once you share headcount and departure slot, we price the menu and send it back for approval.

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

At Ibaraki the lead time question is mostly about produce and customs, not the terminal. Standard menus are easy; unusual requests such as fresh nattō for a visitor or a special-meal box benefit from an earlier note. Last-minute orders are handled and we confirm what is possible.

What do customs say about food at Ibaraki for a special-meal request?+

Customs at Ibaraki is rarely a problem for locally cooked special meals, but imported meat or dairy can be. We build vegan, gluten-free and religious-diet meals from approved local ingredients, label them by seat, and hand them over through your FBO.

Can you bring food into Japan on a government flight to Ibaraki?+

Official flights get the same customs rules as any other: no free pass for fresh meat, dairy or produce. We cover that by cooking locally and delivering plane-side, with dishes marked by seat and any security checks coordinated with your handling agent.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Ibaraki?+

Not under a standard charter agreement. The aircraft price does not include meals; you order from us as a distinct item. A last-minute drop from eight guests to five simply changes the number of portions packed.
