Private jet catering at Gimpo International Airport (RKSS / GMP), Seoul

Catering to your aircraft in Seoul.

Gimpo sits inside Seoul's city grid, at 59 ft elevation, and business jets here run to a tight slot, often on a Gimpo to Haneda or Tokyo shuttle pattern. We cook and pack for your galley, and you re-plate what arrives plane-side.

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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Seoul

A private jet menu for Seoul is easiest when it follows the market. Korean food is built on small dishes, fermentation and charcoal, and most of it travels well if you plan the galley first. The inflight menu at Gimpo can lean on hanwoo beef, cut thin for bulgogi or kept as a short rib that reheats cleanly, and on fresh sea bream from the Korean coast served raw as hoe or lightly grilled.

Private jet food from Seoul also means banchan: namul, pickled radish, stir-fried anchovies, each in its own lidded pot so nothing bleeds. Kimchi is its own decision on a pressurised cabin, so we seal it and send it in a separate bag. Local specialities like japchae, kimbap, and seasonal fruit such as Korean pear and persimmon cover cold platters for a short Seoul hop. Anything involving fermented soybean paste or gochujang gets a note on the label, because spice is the first thing a passenger asks about.

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

Gimpo's apron is shared with domestic Korean carriers, so a business jet gets a defined window and a handling agent who knows it. Private jet catering for RKSS is packed to match that slot, with cold plates that hold in the drawer and hot dishes that go straight into the oven. Inflight catering for the cabin and cabin crew meals for the front and back of the aircraft arrive in separate, labelled boxes. We run in-flight catering for Seoul as an aviation catering service for business aviation catering clients, executive jet catering charters and diplomatic flight catering movements alike.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Gimpo International Airport

Business jet catering at Gimpo usually serves corporate jet catering clients on the Seoul to Tokyo or Shanghai shuttle, plus charter flight catering for visitors arriving for the day. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same brief: what the galley can actually do. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft type and the passengers' habits, usually Korean in the cabin and lighter in the cockpit.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Gimpo International Airport

For state visit aircraft catering into Seoul, the menu is agreed with the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering both require a traceable chain: who cooked, who packed, who handed over. VIP aviation catering at GMP is quiet by design.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Gimpo International Airport

In Seoul, halal is the exception, not the baseline, so we treat it as its own procedure: separate sourcing, separate board, a labelled box. Kosher, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals follow the same logic, because Korean cooking hides soy, sesame, shellfish and wheat in sauces and marinades. Special meals are confirmed against the passenger's own card before we cook.

Crew meals & pilot meals at Gimpo International Airport

Crew meals at Gimpo are commanded with the flight, packed in boxes marked CREW and invoiced like the rest of the order. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed, usually rice, protein and a cold side, and we can send different meals for pilots when operator policy requires it. Flight crew meals for a Seoul turnaround tend to lean on kimbap, bulgogi rice boxes and fruit. Crew catering is a catalogue item, not an extra assumed on the quote, and crew meal boxes are ordered on request.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Gimpo International Airport

FBO catering at Gimpo means catering delivery to the FBO, where the handling agent opens the door and our team hands over at the aircraft. The general aviation terminal is small, so ground handling catering is coordinated in advance with the handling agent. Handling agent catering at RKSS is routine, but security passes still apply.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Gimpo International Airport (GMP)

At Gimpo the aircraft type decides how the load goes in. A light jet gets a hand-carried galley catering handover; a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning. We check door height and galley layout with the handling agent before the slot, so the trays arrive at the right door.

About the airportRKSS / GMP

Airport catering at Gimpo International Airport (RKSS)

Gimpo International Airport, RKSS, sits within Seoul and serves a steady stream of general aviation alongside domestic scheduled flights. Airport catering here has to fit a busy apron and a small general aviation terminal, and the elevation is just 59 ft.

Business aviation

Gimpo works as a business aviation hub for short regional legs, and inflight catering or in-flight catering is usually ordered for the sector to Tokyo, Osaka or Jeju. Aviation catering and business aviation catering for the corporate shuttle often come with executive jet catering, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are arranged for visiting delegations. Crew meals are ordered on request with the same trip. Ground handling services and FBO services at this field are booked together with the slot, so the catering order follows the same paperwork.

Customs & food import

South Korea applies strict quarantine to imported food, above all meat, dairy and fresh produce. For a private jet landing at Gimpo, catering ordered locally avoids a declaration problem; food carried in may be held at the border. The handling agent, who provides the FBO services and ground handling services on the apron, checks the airside pass before anything is carried to the aircraft.

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Having 6 guests request grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at RKSS meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for an evening cabin service. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the fruit plates, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. It was useful to see the salads listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. I would discuss jet catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination.”

Pierre X. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“What impressed me at GMP was how a request for yoghurt pots and fresh berries was handled despite limited fridge space. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our brief for VIP flight catering was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation. We left the fruit plates stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Manuel S. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Our priority at Gimpo International Airport was a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 8 passengers, with a revised passenger count shaping the service plan. Our brief for charter flight catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation. We changed the quantities of desserts, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The note about the fruit plates was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

Seoul in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Gimpo?+

How much does private jet catering cost out of Gimpo? It depends on one choice: whether local hanwoo and fresh sea bream are on the menu. Those two raise the order; rice dishes and seasonal fruit keep it down.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Gimpo?+

Lead time here is shaped by Gimpo's operating hours. A night departure or a dawn slot is fine if the handling agent has the airside pass; we plan around that and handle last-minute orders.

Are there customs rules for private jet catering at Gimpo?+

Delegation flights through Gimpo carry more paperwork than a normal corporate trip. Customs checks sealed catering against a list, so every box is labelled and the list travels with the handover.

Can you bring food into South Korea on a private jet?+

South Korea restricts the import of meat, dairy and fresh produce, so food you carry in may be refused or discarded at customs. It is safer to order local catering at Gimpo, where everything is sourced in-country and labelled for the galley.

Is catering part of a charter into Seoul?+

No, the charter does not include food. At Gimpo we work with your handling agent so the box reaches the aircraft, and the order is billed like any other.
