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 Myitkyina brings to your in-flight catering (MYT)

Kachin State shapes what travels well from Myitkyina. The private jet menu here leans on river fish from the Irrawaddy, pork with pickled bamboo shoot, and the tea-leaf salad the region is known for, served as a salad you toss at the counter. Our inflight menu for VYMK keeps the fragile parts apart: crisp garnish in one pot, dressing in another. These local specialities work as private jet food because they hold in a drawer. Private jet platters carry sticky rice, grilled fish and fresh herbs; gourmet inflight meals are finished in the galley oven; private jet snacks are roasted nuts, fruit and rice crackers. Kachin State produce changes with the rains, so we say what is in season when you order.

Think of Myitkyina as a river town menu: Irrawaddy fish, chicken curry in the Kachin style, and a hill-tea leaf salad. For a private jet menu at VYMK we choose dishes that travel and re-plate cleanly. The inflight menu stays honest about the season, because Kachin State vegetables follow the monsoon. Private jet food from here is simple and fragrant, never fussy. Private jet platters hold cold cuts of local pork, pickles and herbs; gourmet inflight meals come sealed with the sauce apart; private jet snacks are fruit and crisp bean snacks. These local specialities are what we pack when the order says Myitkyina.

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

Myitkyina Airport sits at 475 ft on the Irrawaddy plain in Kachin State, a small field where the season decides the day. Private jet catering here is built around that: a galley brief written for VYMK, with inflight catering that survives a monsoon ramp, aviation catering packed to the aircraft's oven or lack of one, and cabin crew meals boxed by seat. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are ordered like any other line, and diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Myitkyina (VYMK)

A typical business flight into Myitkyina is a light jet or turboprop with four to eight passengers, often a mining, trade or government party heading to Kachin State. Business jet catering for them is compact: corporate jet catering built around a small galley, VIP flight catering when the party calls for it, charter flight catering for one-way hops, and luxury inflight catering for a longer return. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around what Kachin State offers and what your oven can do.

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Myitkyina (VYMK)

Official parties flying to Myitkyina need discretion more than ornament. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are cooked by a named team, sealed, and recorded. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are agreed with the delegation's office before the slot, not at the aircraft.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Myitkyina Airport

Our FBO catering at Myitkyina is handed over at the aircraft by arrangement with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal is planned on your slot, with ground handling catering matched to the gate and apron. Handling agent catering means we agree who opens which door before the vehicle moves.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Myitkyina Airport (MYT)

What gets loaded at VYMK depends on the aircraft type you are flying. A light jet takes a few boxes by hand through the door; a larger cabin may need a high loader for galley catering and aircraft provisioning. Tell us the type and we plan airside catering delivery with your handling agent to match the galley you actually have.

About the airportVYMK / MYT

Aviation catering and business aviation at Myitkyina Airport (MYT)

Myitkyina Airport serves Kachin State from the north of Myanmar, a regional gateway for trade, mining and travel. General aviation here means small aircraft on a wet apron, and airport catering is limited by what the region grows and how it reaches the ramp. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through your handling agent, which is why a planned order matters.

Business aviation

Myitkyina is not a busy business aviation hub, but private flights arrive for mining visits, charters and official trips, all within the general aviation traffic of VYMK. FBO services and ground handling services stay modest, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are packed to the galley of each aircraft. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are ordered like any line, diplomatic flight catering clears protocol first, and cabin crew meals and crew meals ride in their own box.

Customs & food import

Food import in Myanmar is regulated, and fresh animal and plant products are the usual problem for general aviation arrivals at VYMK. We suggest buying the galley locally rather than arriving with it, and we sort the paperwork with the FBO services and ground handling services side through your agent when needed.

★★★★★

Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.

Leave a review

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The cabin briefing at MYT included 3 passenger meals, a request for avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and instructions addressing a small galley worktop. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The crew provisions were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Working around limited fridge space at Myitkyina Airport, I asked for fresh fruit and breakfast pastries in portions appropriate for our 10 passengers. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the sandwiches had been grouped. We could account for the side dishes before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about portion planning.”

Hana V. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★CHARTER

“On this departure from VYMK, 8 passengers had chosen avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and a family lunch request needed to be reflected in the order. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the salads clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. I would discuss private jet catering menu with them again, especially when meal organisation needs careful coordination. It was useful to see the breakfast portions listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

Ordering for VYMK, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Myitkyina?+

Seasonal produce and the handover route set the price at MYT. Rainy-season vegetables and river fish vary, and an FBO or handling agent fee may apply. We list each dish with its cost so you see what private jet catering at Myitkyina totals before you confirm.

What is the lead time for catering at Myitkyina if the passenger count changes?+

A changing headcount is the usual reason a Myitkyina order is reopened. We keep portions modular so adding or removing a seat does not rebuild the menu. Last-minute updates are accepted, and we say plainly if a dish can no longer be made.

Do customs rules at Myitkyina affect catering when the crew is waiting on the ground?+

Customs checks food entering Myanmar, and duty time limits how long the crew can be away from the aircraft. Both are solved by delivery to the aircraft and meals packed ready to eat. We coordinate with your handling agent at VYMK.

Can you bring food into Myanmar when flying into Myitkyina?+

Myanmar customs controls imported food, especially meat, fresh produce and dairy, so bringing your own food is risky. Sourcing locally at Myitkyina avoids the issue, and we handle the declaration with your handling agent when needed.

Is catering part of a charter if I order a return leg from Myitkyina?+

No, and that applies to both directions. The charter quote does not carry catering, so we invoice the return meals as a normal order. Give us the date, the slot and the cabin layout, and we prepare for VYMK.
