Catering to your aircraft in Masuda.
Masuda's airfield is small and quiet, and the order is shaped by the season's catch and the oven on board. We cook for your crew and guests, then your handling agent receives the trays at the aircraft.
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.
Shimane Prefecture sits on the Sea of Japan, and the private jet menu for Iwami Airport follows that coast. Nodoguro, the blackthroat seaperch, is the fish people ask for first, and it travels well grilled or simmered. Iwami oysters and Masuda's river and sea produce fill the rest of the private jet food list.
Our inflight menu for Masuda leans on local specialities: Izumo soba in its stacked boxes, Shijimi clam soup from Lake Shinji, and rice from the prefecture. We pack private jet platters of sashimi and pickles cold, with soy and wasabi in their own pots. Gourmet inflight meals such as grilled nodoguro go in sealed for your oven, and private jet snacks like senbei and yokan travel in the original packs.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Iwami Airport shares its runway and terminal with Hagi-Iwami in western Shimane Prefecture, and a business jet landing at RJOW brings a galley that has to be filled from a coast known for nodoguro and Iwami oysters. Private jet catering here means a Sea of Japan menu packed for your galley and handed over at the aircraft. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered the same way as anywhere else; business aviation catering and executive jet catering for a Shimane stop follow the same brief, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals can be added to it.
A business jet catering order at Iwami usually starts with a short brief: how many seats, which galley, which dietary notes. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering follow the same path, and charter flight catering can be added for a mixed group. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around nodoguro and Iwami oysters, and luxury inflight catering stays simple on the plate.
Government flight catering at RJOW is organised around protocol before the kitchen. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering need a menu cleared in advance, discreet labels and a named team. VIP aviation catering for Iwami is delivered at the FBO and nothing is announced on the tray.
Special meals at Iwami Airport are handled as a procedure, not a label. Soy, wheat, shellfish and fish stock are everywhere in Shimane Prefecture's cooking, so we cook allergen free dishes on their own board and seal them. Kosher and halal meals, vegan and gluten free plates, and kids meals are all available on request, each marked by seat number.
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.
Crew catering at Iwami is a separate line on the order, on request and invoiced as usual. Crew meals and flight crew meals come in sealed boxes marked CREW. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten fast, and different meals for pilots are cooked on their own board, as crew meal boxes.
FBO catering at RJOW is handed over at the terminal or at the aircraft, depending on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO goes through your handling agent, and the general aviation terminal is the contact point for ground handling catering. Handling agent catering is arranged with the tail number and the crew name.
At Iwami Airport the aircraft type decides the loading, not the menu. A light or midsize jet takes its trays by hand through the cabin door, while a larger aircraft may need a high loader arranged through your handling agent. Galley catering is packed for the galley you have, and airside catering delivery is agreed with the FBO. Aircraft provisioning for RJOW is written onto the order with the tail number.

Iwami Airport, RJOW, is the airfield for Masuda and the western Shimane coast, with a small terminal shared by scheduled and general aviation traffic. Airport catering for a business jet here is packed for your galley and passed over at the FBO. The FBO services on the field are limited, so the order names the tail and the crew, and the ground handling services come through your handling agent.
Business aviation at Iwami is occasional, which is why every order is written by hand for the tail on the ramp. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are laid out for the galley you actually fly with, and aviation catering or business aviation catering follows the same form as at larger fields. Executive jet catering suits the corporate stops around Masuda, diplomatic flight catering is added when a delegation lands, and cabin crew meals and crew meals close the order. RJOW is a business aviation hub only in the sense that it is the one runway for this stretch of coast.
Japan asks for declaration of imported meat, fresh produce, dairy and plant products, and customs and quarantine officers can open food boxes on arrival. Meals cooked in Shimane Prefecture are domestic food and never reach that inspection. The FBO and your handling agent receive the order list, and the ground handling services at RJOW pass the trays to the aircraft.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Our priority at Iwami Airport was mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 8 passengers, with different crew meal preferences shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls grouped the canapés by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. My main takeaway from this inflight catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”
“Several practical details needed attention at RJOW, with a breakfast basket with individual preserves requested for 8 guests and a revised passenger count to accommodate. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the snack boxes, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. My main takeaway from this in-flight catering order was the practical approach to packing arrangement. Keeping the desserts identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“I wanted a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 4 guests at IWJ, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a family lunch request. Our brief for vip inflight catering was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation. The Galley Girls kept the desserts separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the main courses ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
Price is built dish by dish. A kosher dinner for one passenger and a standard platter for five do not cost the same, and Iwami's seafood is seasonal. Ask for how much private jet catering costs here and we answer for your menu, not a flat tariff.
A delegation arriving at Iwami brings more seats and more dietary notes than a standard charter. Lead time is therefore about getting the brief complete; we accept late additions and deliver to the aircraft through your handling agent.
Japanese customs treat meat, fresh produce and dairy brought from abroad strictly. If your party grows at Iwami, locally cooked meals avoid the question, and last-minute orders are handled.
For a long departure from Iwami, we usually suggest a cold platter first and a hot dish later. You can bring food aboard, though customs may question it; ordering both services here avoids that.
Is catering part of a charter into Masuda? No, and an empty-cabin positioning leg changes nothing in principle. A private jet charter price covers the aircraft; food is a separate order, invoiced as such.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
