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.

Local specialities from Loikaw for your inflight catering

Kayah State is highland country, and a private jet menu for Loikaw can lean on it without turning into a gimmick. Local specialities here start with Myanmar's own cooking: a tea leaf salad, a clear chicken broth, river fish with turmeric, rice served plain so the sauces can travel apart. Our inflight menu is written so each dish survives a galley with an oven and not much else. For private jet food, we pack the dish and the garnish separately, so the plate is finished in front of the guest rather than before wheels-up. Private jet platters of cold cuts, fruit and pickled vegetables work well at Loikaw because they wait in the drawer. Gourmet inflight meals can be built on grilled meats with a sauce on the side, and private jet snacks such as roasted peanuts and sesame brittle suit a cabin with a long sector ahead. Ask for the Kayah State angle and we will say honestly what is available that week.

What reaches a Loikaw galley is shaped by Kayah State itself: a cool plateau, small farms, coffee and tea grown on the slopes. A private jet menu here is therefore written around what is good in season, and we say so when it is not. Local specialities to consider are a warm shan-style noodle dish, grilled river fish, pickled tea leaf and a sticky rice sweet. The inflight menu is shaped to the galley: dishes that finish in an oven, dishes that re-plate cold, sauces in their own pots. Private jet food for this region is simple and strong. Private jet platters are a safe default, gourmet inflight meals work for a seated lunch, and private jet snacks, like nuts and dried fruit, handle a tight turnaround on the ground. Tell us the Kayah State tastes your guests prefer and we will cook for them.

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

Loikaw sits on a plateau at 2,940 ft, and that altitude is what a galley plan here starts from. Private jet catering at Loikaw (VYLK / LIW) is built for crews flying into Kayah State on business aviation trips, with the menu cooked for the galley you actually have. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are all handled as one order, written up by former VIP flight attendants. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering trips get the same attention, as do diplomatic flight catering requests, and cabin crew meals can be added on request.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Loikaw Airport (LIW)

Business jet catering at Loikaw is usually a small, precise order: a few guests, a short sector, a galley with an oven and little else. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here are written by a private jet chef who builds the menu from the headcount and the aircraft, not from a fixed list. Charter flight catering follows the same logic, with luxury inflight catering reserved for guests who want a seated meal and a bespoke menu rather than a box. Tell us the type and what is in the galley, and we write for Loikaw.

Head of state and government inflight catering at Loikaw Airport (LIW)

State visit aircraft catering into Loikaw is planned around protocol and quiet. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are cooked by a named team, with ingredients recorded and boxes sealed. VIP aviation catering follows the same discipline, and the protocol office, not the kitchen, decides the menu. We work with your handling agent so airside access matches the schedule.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Loikaw Airport

Special meals at Loikaw are handled as a procedure built on what the local kitchen cooks: fish paste and peanut oil turn up in places a guest would not guess, so we ask about allergens before choosing the dish, not after. Vegan, halal, kosher and gluten free requests, as well as allergen free and kids meals, go into the order and are packed in separate boxes marked by seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Loikaw Airport

At Loikaw, the crew eats last and often fastest, so crew catering is written for that. Crew meals and flight crew meals are packed in boxes marked with seat numbers, apart from the guest trays. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are cooked to be eaten from a lap, and different meals for pilots are offered when policy asks for it. Crew meal boxes are ordered on request and invoiced like everything else. Cabin crew meals are added the same way, so a long wait on the ground does not leave anyone hungry.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Loikaw Airport (LIW)

FBO catering at Loikaw is a question of who opens which door. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged through your handling agent, who controls the apron, and food is handed to the aircraft once the slot is confirmed. Ground handling catering means we coordinate with them on access and the general aviation terminal, not around them. Handling agent catering is simply the order plus the name of the person who receives it. Tell us the tail and we agree the handover.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Loikaw Airport (LIW)

The type of aircraft decides how food reaches the cabin at Loikaw. A light jet is loaded by hand through the main door; a larger aircraft may need a high loader, and we plan galley catering around whichever applies. Airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, with aircraft provisioning confirmed for the tail before the slot.

About the airportVYLK / LIW

About Loikaw Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Loikaw is the airport for Kayah State, a plateau in eastern Myanmar. General aviation here means light aircraft and the occasional business jet, so airport catering is a matter of one order for one tail, with FBO services and ground handling services arranged through your handling agent.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Loikaw is occasional, which makes it quiet and personal. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned aircraft by aircraft, and aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the tail rather than a schedule. Executive jet catering suits a small cabin, diplomatic flight catering is handled with discretion, and cabin crew meals and crew meals can be added on request. General aviation traffic is thin, FBO services and ground handling services are simple, and the altitude and weather window of Kayah State shape what flies in. Loikaw is not a business aviation hub: it is a plateau airport where each trip is its own order.

Customs & food import

Myanmar applies its own rules to imported food, and Loikaw is no exception. Meat, dairy and fresh produce may be checked, so we label every box and keep sealed items sealed. General aviation arrivals here rely on ground handling services and FBO services through your handling agent, who arranges airside access and tells us what is needed; we confirm the order against it.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Timing and organisation mattered at Loikaw Airport, where our order of mushroom risotto and a green salad for 6 people involved two separate meal services. I appreciated the emphasis on crew briefing throughout the flight catering services arrangements. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the salads, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. I found the canapés without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Our priority at VYLK was vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 5 passengers, with an evening cabin service shaping the service plan. This experience of airline catering gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure. I needed the snack boxes checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the desserts against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”

“Getting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing ready for 6 guests at LIW required an order that accounted for a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls kept the main courses separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the side dishes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. With crew meals, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Loikaw: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Loikaw?+

Think of it as a menu with lines, not a flat service. At Loikaw, local fish and fresh herbs cost more than dried fruit and nuts, and we say which is which. Private jet catering cost depends on that mix, plus the number of crew meals added on request.

What is the lead time for catering at Loikaw?+

At Loikaw the season shapes what flies in and out, and rain can move a departure. We write lead time into your slot instead of the other way round: confirm the tail and we work back from it. Last-minute orders are handled.

Are there customs rules for catering at Loikaw?+

Food crossing into Myanmar is checked, so the handling agent matters. At Loikaw we coordinate with your handling agent for airside access, and fresh produce is kept in sealed boxes and labelled with its contents so inspection goes smoothly.

Can you bring food for guests at Loikaw?+

You can bring your own, though a passenger count that changes late is where our kitchen helps. We add a spare portion by seat and label the rest, so someone joining or leaving does not break the plan.

Is catering part of a charter into Loikaw?+

No, the charter does not include food. At Loikaw, crew duty time and a wait on the ground can stretch a day, so many operators add meals for the flight deck as a separate order.
