Private jet catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport (RJDC / UBJ), Ube

Catering to your aircraft in Ube.

Ube's single runway sits at sea level, a coastal field where winter wind and summer typhoons set the schedule. We cook seafood-led menus for the crew and guests who fly here, and pack them for your galley.

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

Regional dishes of Ube for jet catering at UBJ

Yamaguchi Prefecture gives a private jet menu its backbone: Seto Inland Sea fish, Hagi seafood from the Sea of Japan side, and rice that travels well. Our private jet platters for Ube build on these local specialities, cut and arranged so a flight attendant can re-plate them from the drawer.

Fugu is the prefecture's signature and the first thing crews ask about. It is prepared only by licensed hands, so on an inflight menu from Ube it arrives sealed and chilled, with ponzu apart, as a cold plate for the cabin. Gourmet inflight meals here also lean on grilled amadai, sea bream, and simmered vegetables that hold their shape.

For private jet snacks, we pack rice crackers, Yamaguchi citrus such as natsumikan, and small sweets in seat-numbered boxes. Private jet food from RJDC is written for the galley, with every hot dish marked for the oven.

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

Few fields in western Honshu are as plain to work as Ube: one runway, a low coastal apron, and a seafood-led kitchen behind it. Private jet catering for Yamaguchi Ube Airport follows that rhythm. We supply inflight catering and business aviation catering for charter and corporate trips, executive jet catering for owner flights, diplomatic flight catering when protocol applies, and cabin crew meals on request. In-flight catering and aviation catering for UBJ are handed to your handling agent at the aircraft.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ)

Business jet catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport is mostly a light or midsize cabin with four to eight on board, and a galley that has an oven and little else. We write a bespoke menu around that, as private jet chef would for the tail you fly. Corporate jet catering for visiting executives leans on Hagi seafood and local rice, charter flight catering is kept simple and cold-forward, VIP flight catering adds fugu in season, and luxury inflight catering means every dish is packed for re-plating, not reheating from scratch.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport

When an official party flies into Yamaguchi, the order is approved by the protocol office, not by the kitchen. Government flight catering for RJDC is cooked by a small named crew, head of state flight catering gets sealed and labelled trays, VIP aviation catering stays private, and state visit aircraft catering is staged airside with the handling agent.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ)

In Yamaguchi kitchens the hidden allergens are dashi (fish), soy, wheat in sauces and shellfish in seafood broths, so special meals for Ube are cooked on a separate board and packed in a separate box. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each marked by seat number, and a vegan dish here means a kombu-based broth with no bonito.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Yamaguchi Ube Airport

On request, we pack crew meals for the flight deck and the cabin from Ube: simple rice, grilled fish or chicken, soup in a sealed pot. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are two different boxes. Crew catering is billed like any other line. Cockpit meals are made to eat quickly, crew meal boxes are marked CREW, and different meals for pilots mean two distinct dishes, so neither cockpit seat has the same plate. Cabin crew meals ride in the same order, just in their own boxes.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Yamaguchi Ube Airport (RJDC)

At RJDC the FBO and the handling agent control access to the apron, so FBO catering is staged where they tell us. Catering delivery to the FBO is booked on your slot, ground handling catering is cleared in advance, handling agent catering is one contact, and the general aviation terminal is the first stop for any late change.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ)

Aircraft at RJDC are mostly light and midsize business jets with galleys that take a tray set from the stairs, but a larger cabin may need a high loader. Tell us the type and we plan galley catering around the door height: airside catering delivery is packed to the trolleys or boxes your galley accepts, and aircraft provisioning is staged with your handling agent before the slot.

About the airportRJDC / UBJ

Airport catering at Yamaguchi Ube Airport (RJDC)

Yamaguchi Ube Airport is a regional field on the Seto Inland Sea coast, served mostly by scheduled flights with a small general aviation presence. Airport catering here is quiet work: a few FBO services, simple ground handling services, and a business aviation hub in the wider Chugoku region.

Business aviation

Yamaguchi's business aviation traffic is modest and seasonal. Inflight catering orders for RJDC tend to follow fugu season and Seto Inland Sea weather. In-flight catering here, aviation catering and business aviation catering are written per trip. Executive jet catering suits owner flights, diplomatic flight catering suits official visits, and cabin crew meals are listed apart.

Customs & food import

Japan inspects imported meat, dairy and fresh produce, so catering brought in from abroad is subject to quarantine rules at Ube. We source and cook locally, so the order you place for the outbound cabin is not affected. Leftover food from an inbound leg stays under customs control.

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“A request for fresh fruit and breakfast pastries, 2 passengers, and limited fridge space: that was our brief for the departure at Yamaguchi Ube Airport. My main takeaway from this private jet meals order was the practical approach to storage requirements. I needed the desserts checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The salads remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Breakfast was already sorted; at RJDC, the next request was a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 4 guests, with a late menu amendment to work around. The Galley Girls kept the sandwiches 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. With private jet menu, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Audrey Z. | VIP flight attendant

Falcon 8X

★★★★☆CHARTER

“Between cabin checks at UBJ, I coordinated roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 2 guests and explained our concerns about a tight boarding window. I asked The Galley Girls to review the main courses quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. There was enough information about the salads to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I want a private jet chef to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Asked before every RJDC slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight into Ube with an empty cabin?+

Cost here follows the plate, not the runway. A positioning flight with no passengers often asks for nothing beyond cockpit boxes; a full cabin asks for platters. Tell us which and we price exactly that.

What lead time does the handling agent need for catering delivery at RJDC?+

Ube is not a crowded field, which keeps ordering uncomplicated. The one thing we ask early is the handling agent's details, so catering delivery to the FBO is cleared in advance. Last-minute orders are handled.

What do customs mean for catering on a night departure or an early slot from Ube?+

On a night departure from UBJ, the rule is simple: fresh seafood loaded here is for the outbound cabin, and anything left over from an inbound leg stays under local customs control. Tell us the direction of the flight when you order.

Can you bring food from home onto a flight, or do you handle the return leg ordered from Ube?+

Return legs are where this question comes up. Ordering from Yamaguchi means the food is chilled or oven-ready, marked by seat, and delivered to your handling agent, so nothing from home needs to cross a border.

Is catering part of a charter into Ube?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own line, like any order. Seasonal weather on the Seto Inland Sea decides when flights leave Ube, so we keep the menu flexible around your slot.
