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

Local specialities from Yecheon-ri for your inflight catering

Gyeongsangbuk-do is apple and ginseng country, and the region around Yecheon-ri gives a private jet menu its clearest local angle. A private jet menu built here borrows from the Andong tradition: andong jjimdak, braised chicken with glass noodles, and salted mackerel known as ganjaebi, a staple of the province's inland cooking. Inflight menu items are chosen for what survives a galley: braises travel well and re-plate hot, while delicate fish does not.

Private jet food from North Gyeongsang starts with fruit. Apples from the province are cut for a cold plate or poached for a dessert, and these local specialities are priced like any other ingredient. Private jet platters of cold cuts, rice cakes and pickled vegetables fill the drawer. Gourmet inflight meals follow the Korean table: rice, soup and banchan arranged in a tray, a private jet menu entry that reads as simple and is not. Private jet snacks run to roasted chestnuts and dried persimmon, local specialities that keep.

Yecheon-ri is small, and the plates that come from Gyeongsangbuk-do reflect an inland province rather than a coastal one: mountain vegetables, soybean paste stews, glutinous rice and beef. A private jet menu for Yecheon Airbase leans on those, written as an inflight menu for a galley with one oven. Private jet food of this kind is hearty, so we pair it with a light cold plate. Local specialities here reward a brief that names the guests, not just the headcount.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Yecheon Airbase (RKTY)

Yecheon Airbase sits at 354 feet in Gyeongsangbuk-do, a military field where civil business traffic is the exception and every arrival is arranged with the base. Private jet catering at RKTY is built around that: orders go through your handling agent, who clears access to the apron, and the menu leans on what North Gyeongsang grows. Inflight catering here is planned with the tail and the slot, and aviation catering for a field like this stays discreet and unfussy. In-flight catering for the cabin and cabin crew meals for the galley are packed to be handed over together. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering both start from the same call; diplomatic flight catering is agreed with protocol before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

Executive jet catering at Yecheon Airbase (YEC)

Business jet catering at Yecheon-ri is usually a small party in a light jet with a galley that has one oven. Corporate jet catering for a visit to the base is written around that: a cold start, one hot dish with sauce apart, and a plate that holds. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all follow the same brief at RKTY. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu once we know the guests, the slot and who is arriving.

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Yecheon Airbase

An official flight to RKTY brings its own sequence: protocol clears the menu, then we cook. State visit aircraft catering and head of state flight catering are packed sealed and handed over once. VIP aviation catering and government flight catering are discreet by design, handled by the same few people each time.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Yecheon Airbase (RKTY)

Special meals at Yecheon-ri follow the Korean kitchen, and that is where allergens hide: soy sauce and soybean paste carry wheat and soy, sesame oil is in many banchan, and anchovy broth sits under soups that look vegetable. Vegan and gluten free plates are cooked on a separate board and boxed apart, and allergen free orders are agreed against the ingredient list before cooking. Kosher and halal meals are sealed and handed over unopened, and kids meals run mild and unspiced.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Yecheon-ri (YEC)

Crew meals are on request, billed with the order, never added silently. Flight crew meals and crew catering are marked CREW so nobody opens a guest tray. Crew meal boxes are closed and sealed, and different meals for pilots are prepared on request.

FBO catering at Yecheon Airbase (YEC): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Yecheon Airbase is handed over through your handling agent, who opens the door to the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal depends on what the base allows for that slot. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one conversation, and we confirm the handover point before cooking.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Yecheon Airbase (YEC)

On the RKTY apron, the type you fly decides whether the order goes up the stairs or through a galley door. A light jet takes a few boxes up the stairs, while a larger type may need a high loader at the door, which your handling agent arranges. Galley catering is written for the galley you describe, with one oven or two, and aircraft provisioning for a base like RKTY is confirmed with the handling agent for airside delivery. Airside catering delivery here follows the access the base grants for that slot.

About the airportRKTY / YEC

General aviation and airport catering at Yecheon Airbase (YEC)

Yecheon Airbase is a military airfield in Yecheon-ri, Gyeongsangbuk-do, at 354 feet, with the ICAO code RKTY and IATA YEC. It is not a commercial hub, and civil business traffic arrives by arrangement. Airport catering here is planned as a delivery to a controlled apron rather than a terminal counter.

Business aviation

General aviation here is limited, and FBO services as a visitor knows them from a commercial airport are not the norm at a base. Ground handling services come through your handling agent, and the field is an unusual business aviation hub only when a visit is arranged. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the visit are written to the slot. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered ahead, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering by protocol, and cabin crew meals ride with the cabin tray.

Customs & food import

South Korea controls food imports tightly, especially meat, dairy, fruit and plant material, and customs can hold items it does not recognise. For Yecheon-ri that means the simplest route for catering is local sourcing, sealed and labelled, handed over to the crew at the aircraft.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“On this departure from RKTY, 7 passengers had chosen chicken skewers with a couscous salad, and two separate meal services needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls grouped the sauces by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. We left the sandwiches stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at final order confirmation after this experience.”
Nerea Z. | Government flight manager
BBJ
★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT
“Our priority at YEC was mushroom risotto and a green salad for 4 passengers, with limited fridge space shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of breakfast portions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. There was enough information about the salads to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about portion planning.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS
“Before our guests boarded at Yecheon Airbase, we needed poached fish with steamed rice divided into 2 portions suitable for limited fridge space. The Galley Girls kept the sandwiches separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The written menu details stood out more than any sales pitch about private jet catering menu. Keeping the canapés aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Yecheon Airbase: the questionsAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a flight out of Yecheon Airbase?+

Think of it by dish: apples from the province cost little, a braised chicken with noodles costs more, and a tasting set for six costs more again. Private jet catering out of Yecheon Airbase is quoted on that basis, without a standard tariff, and invoiced on its own.

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

A night departure from RKTY is easy to cover because the kitchen plans the pack around your slot, not a shop opening. Late and last-minute orders are handled, and what keeps it simple is a clear slot, a tail and a headcount.

Are there customs rules for catering on a delegation flight into Yecheon-ri?+

A delegation or government flight into RKTY is arranged with the base and with protocol, and the food follows. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared by the protocol office before anything is cooked, and customs on what comes aboard is the aircraft's affair, handled with your handling agent.

Can you bring food of your own on a flight from Yecheon Airbase?+

Korean customs controls what food crosses the border, and an air base is no exception. Carrying your own supplies in is possible only inside those rules; ordering from us for RKTY means local produce, sealed, labelled by seat.

Is catering part of a charter into Yecheon Airbase?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter, and at RKTY the reason is practical as well as commercial: the charter covers the aircraft, not the galley. We stock the galley on request once your handling agent has cleared airside access, and it is ordered and invoiced separately from the flight.
