Catering to your aircraft in Wonju.
Wonju is a civil field on an air base in the hills of Gangwon, and the rhythm there is set by weather and access. We write the order for your galley, hand it to the FBO, and the crew finishes it on board.
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.
Wonju sits in Gangwon, the mountain province of South Korea, and its local specialities come from cold hills and clean rivers. A private jet menu built for RKNW leans on potato, corn, buckwheat and freshwater fish, because that is what the region actually grows and cooks. The inflight menu keeps these dishes recognisable: buckwheat noodles served cold, a potato pancake that re-plates crisp, corn steamed and cut for service. Private jet food from this part of Gangwon travels well because most of it is rustic and forgiving, so the galley only has to finish it, not rescue it. We list the dishes below with their service note, so the person re-plating on board knows what to open first.
For a flight into Wonju, the private jet menu starts from Gangwon's table: buckwheat, potato, corn, wild greens and trout from mountain streams. These local specialities make an inflight menu that reads as a place, not a template. Private jet food here is simple on purpose. Cold noodle dishes stay chilled, the dumplings and savoury pancakes go in the oven, and the broths ride apart in their own pots. Everything is packed for the galley you actually have, and each dish below carries the note that tells the crew how it finishes.

The mountain province of Gangwon sits behind every order we write for RKNW: buckwheat, potato, corn and cold-water fish decide what is in the box. Private jet catering for Wonju is built around that produce and around the access rules of a shared air base. Expect inflight catering that survives the climb, in-flight catering plated by the crew, aviation catering with clear labels, business aviation catering for tight corporate rotations, executive jet catering on request, diplomatic flight catering with named contacts, and cabin crew meals in their own box.
Most traffic through Wonju is business aviation on short, planned legs. For business jet catering and corporate jet catering we build the menu from Gangwon produce and the galley's real limits. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering are adjusted by the private jet chef, and a bespoke menu is written once the seat plan is known. Luxury inflight catering here stays quiet and exact.
Government flight catering at Wonju is shaped by the air base around it. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared through protocol before anything is cooked, with named contacts and traceable ingredients. For a state visit aircraft catering order, the team is fixed and the handover is discreet.
South Korean kitchens hide allergens in places a visitor does not expect: soy and sesame sit in almost every sauce, shellfish in kimchi pastes, and wheat in many gochujang-based marinades. For Wonju we handle kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests as a procedure, each one cooked and boxed separately and marked by seat. Special meals, kids meals and restricted diets are written onto the order before anything is cooked, so the galley opens only what belongs to that passenger.
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 RKNW the crew is often on a tight rotation. Crew meals are ordered on request and billed on their own line. We pack flight crew meals and pilot meals so they can be eaten between tasks, crew catering goes in a labelled box, cockpit meals are kept dry and sturdy, crew meal boxes are easy to stow, and different meals for pilots are prepared when policy requires. Cabin crew meals follow the same labelled system.
FBO catering at Wonju is a handover, not a delivery race. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, who passes it through the access control of the field. The general aviation terminal is where the box is received, and ground handling catering follows the rules of a shared air base. Handling agent catering is simply the same order, coordinated on the ground.
Wonju handles the smaller business jets that fit a field shared with an air base, so most galleys here are compact. The aircraft type decides the loading: door height, whether a high loader is needed at all, and what the galley can hold. Galley catering at RKNW is packed in stackable boxes sized for drawers and one oven. Airside catering delivery is agreed through the FBO and handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the access rules of the field, which is why we ask for the tail and the type early.
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.

Wonju Airport, also known as Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46), is a joint civil and military field in Gangwon province, South Korea. Airport catering here is arranged around that dual use, and general aviation traffic is small but real. FBO services and ground handling services are limited and planned ahead.
For business aviation, Wonju is a quiet regional field rather than a business aviation hub. Private jet traffic uses it for Gangwon trips, and we place inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders into that rhythm. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering stay small and exact, diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol, and cabin crew meals ride in their own box.
South Korea restricts fresh meat, dairy, fruit and some plant products entering the country, and customs inspect food on arriving aircraft. The ground handler deals with the formalities; our job is to pack sealed, labelled items and avoid restricted ingredients. Leftovers are disposed of under local rules.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around a late menu amendment at Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46), I asked for a charcuterie board and fresh bread in portions appropriate for our 5 passengers. My main takeaway from this charter flight catering order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls labelled the snack boxes in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the breakfast portions without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks.”
“Small packing details became important at RKNW: our 7 passengers wanted a mezze selection with flatbreads, and we had a family lunch request. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. This experience of private jet food gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure.”
“My order at WJU covered a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 3 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls kept the breakfast portions separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the crew provisions as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. My main takeaway from this private jet meals order was the practical approach to catering handover.”
The cost of private jet catering at WJU moves with the menu and the number of seats served. A repositioning leg with an empty cabin usually means crew meals only. If a guest dish such as grilled mountain trout is added, that dish is priced on its own.
Lead time here is shaped by clearance on a military field and by how long the crew can stay on the ground. Give us the tail early and we line up the FBO handover. Late requests are still handled.
South Korean import rules are strict about fresh produce and animal products, and a departure that slips in a Gangwon winter means food sitting longer on board. We pack sealed, labelled portions and keep any leftovers sorted for disposal under local rules.
Yes, you can bring food, and many crews do. For two services on a long leg from RKNW, a single labelled order from us means less sorting in a small galley. Customs at the arrival airport still applies.
Not part of the charter. Catering is ordered and billed on its own. If the turnaround at WJU is short, we pack everything labelled and ready to load, so the crew does not unpack in the cabin.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
