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

Ulaanbaatar on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at ULN

Mongolian tables are built on meat, dairy and steppe grain, and a private jet menu for Ulaanbaatar can use all three. Local specialities such as buuz (steamed dumplings), khuushuur (fried pockets), tsuivan (hand-cut noodles) and mutton with root vegetables travel well when packed in the right order: private jet food that is cooked, sealed, then re-plated in the galley. For an inflight menu out of Ulaanbaatar, aaruul (dried curd) and suutei tsai (salted milk tea) make an unusual start or end to a long leg. Private jet platters of cold cuts, cheeses and cured meats fill the gaps on shorter hops.

Gourmet inflight meals from the Ulaanbaatar region lean on lamb, dairy and clean, plain seasoning, so a private jet menu here is less about sauces and more about the quality of the meat. Private jet snacks come from the same pantry: aaruul, dried fruit, nuts, Mongolian biscuits. The region is Ulaanbaatar, a municipality in its own right, and the menu we write for ZMUB reflects that city table without turning every plate into a dumpling.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport (ZMUB)

Ulaanbaatar sits on a high plateau at 4,364 ft, and that altitude, plus winters that drop far below freezing, decides what a galley can carry out of ZMUB. Private jet catering at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport (ZMUB / ULN) is built around that: hot dishes sealed against the cold, cold plates that stay chilled on the ramp, crew boxes packed for the cockpit. Inflight catering for this field is handed over at your FBO or to your handling agent, and the same team that packs for the galley answers the phone day and night.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Ulaanbaatar for business and VIP flights (ULN)

The typical Ulaanbaatar brief is a short list of passengers, a mining or trade itinerary and a late departure. Business jet catering is written for the galley: corporate jet catering plans hot dishes that survive the ramp, charter flight catering adds simple cold plates, and VIP flight catering is handled with a private jet chef who builds a bespoke menu. Luxury inflight catering is possible with imported items, planned ahead.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport (ZMUB)

Special meals at Ulaanbaatar run through a procedure, not a promise. Mongolian cooking leans on mutton, beef and dairy, so allergens and cross-contact sit in the broth, the dumpling filling and the milk tea. Kosher and halal requests are placed in their own packaging; vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and boxed apart, with kids meals prepared on request.

Cabin crew meals are labelled apart from guest trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport

FBO catering at ZMUB means a handover at the general aviation terminal, not at the kitchen. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, and ground handling catering is coordinated for the slot. Handling agent catering stays simple: tail, slot, passengers.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport (ULN)

Aircraft at ZMUB range from light jets to large business liners, and the type decides how the galley is loaded. Galley catering for a narrow door goes in by hand; for a larger aircraft, airside catering delivery by high loader means trolleys and carts staged first. We confirm door height, galley layout and aircraft provisioning with your handling agent before the slot.

About the airportZMUB / ULN

General aviation and airport catering at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport (ULN)

ZMUB is Mongolia's main international airport, set high above sea level. Airport catering is shaped by climate and sourcing, and general aviation sits alongside scheduled traffic with its own FBO services and ground handling services.

Business aviation

Ulaanbaatar is a business aviation hub for mining, trade and diplomacy. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights lean on local lamb and dairy. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are written for the aircraft; executive jet catering uses sealed hot dishes, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed apart.

Customs & food import

Mongolia applies agricultural import controls on animal products and dairy. Catering loaded at ZMUB uses local suppliers where possible, and your handling agent manages clearance. Anything arriving from abroad is declared and kept sealed.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Service planning came first at ULN, with 11 passengers choosing prawn salad and small fruit plates and a short ground stop influencing our preparation. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the side dishes to arrive in shallow trays. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the jet catering arrangements.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Despite a short ground stop, we wanted the 12 guests at Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport to enjoy a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables without a complicated cabin service. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the starters readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The sauces were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. I would discuss VIP flight catering with them again, especially when catering handover needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“A request for avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, 11 passengers, and a small galley worktop: that was our brief for the departure at ZMUB. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the fruit plates clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. For our team, the strongest part of their charter flight catering was how they handled meal organisation. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

Before you order at ZMUBAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Ulaanbaatar for a heavy jet versus a light jet?+

Start with the galley: how many ovens, whether there is a chiller, how many trolleys. Those answers set what private jet catering can be cooked, and therefore what it costs. Local products such as lamb stay reasonable; imported fish or specialty cheese move the total.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at ZMUB on a night or early morning departure?+

Early departures do not make the order harder. The lead time depends on the product: local dishes are simple, imported items need more notice. Call or email day or night, and we confirm the plan with your handling agent.

How do customs rules at Mongolia affect the meals loaded for a long leg with two services?+

Plan the menu around what Mongolia allows in and out. A long leg with two services works best with local mutton, bread and dairy, which have no import issue, plus sealed cold items. Customs paperwork goes through your handling agent.

Can you bring food from home for a halal, kosher or child meal request at Ulaanbaatar?+

A special-meal request can be met with home-prepared food, but customs may question animal products. Halal lamb is easy to source here. Kosher and allergen free meals are boxed separately and labelled by seat.

Is catering part of a charter into Ulaanbaatar, and can it include local products like Mongolian lamb?+

Charter contracts rarely cover meals. Local lamb, buuz or tsuivan are added as a separate catering order for ZMUB, invoiced separately, and handed to your handling agent at the FBO.
