Catering to your aircraft in Uiju.
Uiju is a low field at 32 feet on the river lowland of North Pyongan Province, and flights here are planned slot by slot. We cook, pack and hand over for the galley you actually fly.
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.
North Pyongan Province is Korean river-border country, and the local specialities worth putting on a private jet menu are plain, savoury and built on grain, vegetables and river fish. A private jet menu for Uiju (UJU) leans on cold noodles, dumplings and cured or pickled sides because they hold well in a galley drawer. Private jet food from this region is not delicate: it is seasoned, hearty and forgiving of a long wait on the apron.
Our private jet platters for Uiju stay close to what the province eats: a plate of mandu dumplings, a cold buckwheat noodle dish that travels chilled, kimchi and pickled vegetables kept in a sealed pot, and grilled fish when the season allows. The inflight menu is adjusted to the galley: dumplings go to the oven, noodles stay cold, sauces ride apart. Gourmet inflight meals built on local specialities stay honest to the province, with private jet snacks such as roasted chestnuts, rice crackers and dried persimmon for the cabin.
Think of the inflight menu for ZKUJ as a small selection that survives a cold ramp: steamed buns that finish in a small oven, a cold noodle bowl re-plated at altitude, a plain rice and vegetable dish for crew. Local specialities from North Pyongan Province are described as they travel, with the sauce in its own pot and the garnish packed dry. Private jet menu requests for Uiju are written with the customs position of the country in mind.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Uiju Airport sits at 32 feet on the lowland of North Pyongan Province, and a flight attendant planning private jet catering for ZKUJ starts with the galley she has, not the menu she wants. Inflight catering for UJU is written around the aircraft type, the headcount and the handover at the FBO or with your handling agent. In-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering all follow the same order here: you tell us the tail, the slot and the seats, and we pack to match. For ZKUJ you can add executive jet catering on the same order, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are commissioned only when the trip calls for them, each as a billed line.
Business travel to Uiju is rare and deliberate, so the brief arrives complete: who flies, what the galley holds, which meal suits the slot. Corporate jet catering and business jet catering are built on that. A private jet chef drafts a bespoke menu, whether it is VIP flight catering for executives or charter flight catering for a group, with luxury inflight catering details as requested.
A state visit aircraft landing at ZKUJ is a protocol exercise, and the catering follows it. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are prepared by a small named team with full traceability, while VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are agreed in writing before the slot.
Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals at Uiju are a procedure, not a label: local cooking hides soy, fish sauce and wheat in many dishes, so we check every component. Special meals, allergen free trays and kids meals are packed separately and 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.
At Uiju, crew meals are a line you choose to add, and they appear on the invoice as their own item. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed to be eaten between tasks, with different meals for pilots on request. Crew catering adds cockpit meals and crew meal boxes labelled CREW, so nobody opens a passenger tray by mistake. Cabin crew meals follow the passenger service, and the crew can eat during a wait on the apron.
Catering delivery to the FBO at ZKUJ is a coordinated handover: who opens which door, which gate, which slot. FBO catering, handling agent catering and ground handling catering all pass through the general aviation terminal, with the access rules checked in advance.
Galley catering at Uiju depends on the aircraft: a light jet takes trays through the door by hand, a larger cabin may need a high loader, and airside catering delivery follows the type. Aircraft provisioning is planned against door height and galley layout.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
Uiju Airport is a small field on the Yalu lowland in North Pyongan Province, and airport catering here is shaped by that: a quiet apron, few movements, a handover that must be planned. General aviation is limited, so the order is placed carefully and the delivery is rehearsed.
Business aviation at Uiju is occasional and carefully planned, a business aviation hub in name only. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are packed for the galley, aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the same brief, and executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are added on request. Your agent books the FBO services and the ground handling services, and we meet them at the aircraft with the trays.
Food imports into North Korea are tightly controlled, and fresh produce, meat and dairy can be refused at the border. We pack sealed, labelled and listed, so that uneaten meals stay aircraft provisions. Confirm the position with your handling agent before departure.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“With two separate meal services to consider at UJU, we needed a practical way to serve herb chicken with a quinoa salad to 11 passengers. The crew provisions came from The Galley Girls in shallow trays, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the side dishes in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the airline catering arrangements.”
“Getting a mezze selection with flatbreads ready for 6 guests at Uiju Airport required an order that accounted for a small galley worktop. The Galley Girls grouped the salads by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. This experience of crew meals gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. That left time to check the sauces properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Menu approval at ZKUJ covered beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 3 guests, leaving us to organise the service around an evening cabin service. I would discuss FBO catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls updated the canapés in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The note about the salads was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”
Crew duty time decides most of the bill at ZKUJ. A short turn needs one tray per seat; a day of waiting on the ground needs crew meals, snacks and a cold lunch that holds. We price each menu line separately, so private jet catering stays readable on the invoice.
Lead time at Uiju is less about a number and more about knowing when the aircraft actually leaves. The weather window that decides departures also decides when we hand over at the FBO. We handle last-minute orders and revised slots.
Food crossing into North Korea is inspected, and fresh produce, meat and dairy can be refused. A long leg with two services needs a plan: we pack so that the unused second service is clearly aircraft stores, not cargo. Always check with your handling agent.
Can you bring food? Yes, but a short turnaround at Uiju is the wrong moment to find out what customs will accept. Order from us, we deliver sealed packaging to the aircraft, and loading is a single handover.
No, and the return leg is no exception. A private jet charter to Uiju stays a flight contract; catering is ordered by you, for each leg, and invoiced on its own.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
