Private jet catering at Chiayi Airport (RCKU / CYI), Shuishang

Catering to your aircraft in Shuishang.

At RCKU the day often belongs to one aircraft at a time, so the catering is planned around yours: local fruit, hot rice dishes, crew boxes, all handed over at the aircraft by your handling agent.

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

Regional dishes of Shuishang for jet catering at CYI

Southern Taiwan produce shapes every private jet menu we write for Chiayi Airport. Fruit from the county orchards arrives as sliced platters, turkey rice becomes a hot inflight menu dish with its sauce on the side, and fish from the coast is plated cold or oven-finished. These local specialities are chosen for how they behave in a galley: they hold their shape, they re-plate cleanly, and the private jet food stays recognisable after a leg. The Chiayi County table is generous; the aircraft's galley is not, so the inflight menu is sized to your oven, your drawer and your headcount.

Eating in Chiayi means rice, poultry, fruit and seafood, and we turn that into private jet food that fits a galley. A private jet menu for Chiayi Airport might open with a chilled platter of local fruit, move to turkey rice or braised pork over rice as the hot course, and close with a small sweet built on regional produce. These local specialities travel in labelled containers, each marked for service: oven, sauce apart, chilled or re-plate cold. Chiayi County gives the ingredients; the inflight menu gives them a form that works at altitude.

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

Chiayi Airport sits on the flat plain of Chiayi County, a single-runway field in southwestern Taiwan that sees few business jets, which makes private jet catering here a matter of planning the galley before wheels-down. Inflight catering for these tails is cooked and packed for the aircraft you actually fly, and in-flight catering for a night departure is labelled for seat and crew, not for a restaurant table. Aviation catering on this island leans on warm-climate produce, and business aviation catering for a return leg is handed to the FBO as one order. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all follow the same rule: nothing goes on the apron that your flight attendant did not ask for.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Chiayi Airport (CYI)

A corporate jet into CYI gives us a short, clear brief: how many cover, how long is the leg, what does the galley hold. Corporate jet catering for that cabin starts with the oven and the drawer, then with Chiayi County produce. Business jet catering for a charter or company party follows one method, whether it is VIP flight catering or charter flight catering. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your galley, and inflight catering or in-flight catering stays simple, well packed and easy to re-plate. Luxury inflight catering at Chiayi is about clean service, not a long list of dishes.

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Chiayi Airport (CYI)

When a delegation lands at Chiayi, government flight catering is a question of who sees the order and who touches the tray. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering follow a cleared menu, VIP aviation catering uses a small named team, and nothing is packed without a record.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Chiayi Airport (CYI)

Taiwanese cooking hides allergens in places a visitor does not expect: peanuts in sauces and pastes, shellfish in broths, soy and wheat in almost everything. At Chiayi Airport we plan special meals with that in mind. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are cooked and packed apart, with their own board and their own box, marked by seat number. Allergen free requests are written against the Chiayi menu, not copied from a generic card, and kids meals are simple, mild and clearly separated. Tell us the restriction and the tail, and the dish is built from there.

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Shuishang (RCKU)

For the people flying the aircraft, we offer crew meals on request, billed with the order. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering are packed apart from the guests, in crew meal boxes that open easily on the jumpseat. Cockpit meals can be different meals for pilots when policy calls for it, and cabin crew meals are marked separately so nothing is mixed up at Chiayi.

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Chiayi Airport (CYI)

FBO catering at Chiayi means the order goes to the FBO and is passed to the aircraft with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged on your slot, and the general aviation terminal is the point of contact for access. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one chain: we call, they open the gate, the cart goes to the stand.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Chiayi Airport (CYI)

Chiayi is a small field, and the aircraft that use it are mostly light and midsize jets, so a high loader is rarely the question; the galley is. Galley catering here is sized to the type: a drawer, a small oven, limited chilled space. Airside catering delivery to the stand is coordinated with your handling agent so aircraft provisioning happens once, at the aircraft, with the cart of your type in mind. If a larger aircraft is planned, tell us the type and we adapt the load and the packing.

About the airportRCKU / CYI

About Chiayi Airport (CYI): airport catering for business aviation

Chiayi Airport is a regional airport serving Chiayi County in southwestern Taiwan, with a single runway and a modest terminal. Airport catering here is simple and local: a small number of movements, a quiet apron and an easy hand-over.

Business aviation

General aviation at Chiayi is occasional rather than constant, which means a business aviation hub in name only; the field is used by operators who want southern Taiwan without a large airport. FBO services and ground handling services are limited, so the details of inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering are agreed ahead. Executive jet catering for a small cabin, diplomatic flight catering for a visiting party and cabin crew meals for the crew all follow one rule: plan the galley before you plan the dish.

Customs & food import

Taiwan applies strict controls to fresh meat, fruit and plant products entering the country, so the customs advice is simple: buy local for the flight. Catering loaded in Taiwan for departure is straightforward; food remaining on board from abroad may need to be declared or discarded. Your handling agent confirms the rule for your route.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“With an evening cabin service to consider at CYI, we needed a practical way to serve smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit to 5 passengers. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in shallow trays, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the main courses aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about in flight catering.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Before our guests boarded at Chiayi Airport, we needed a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables divided into 5 portions suitable for a tight boarding window. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the canapés to arrive in divided catering boxes. I would discuss inflight catering services with them again, especially when written menu details needs careful coordination. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order.”

Jade T. | Royal family manager

Global 7500

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 8 guests at RCKU to enjoy a mezze selection with flatbreads without a complicated cabin service. I want an inflight catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the side dishes, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the breakfast portions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Questions crews ask about ShuishangAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight into Chiayi?+

How much does private jet catering cost for a state or government party at CYI? It depends on what the cabin needs: the number of passengers, the number of services, whether a separate protocol review is needed, and what is in season in Chiayi County. Mango and guava in summer are straightforward; out-of-season specialities cost more. We quote per menu, not per tray, once we have the tail and the numbers.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Chiayi for a night departure or an early slot?+

For an early-morning slot out of Chiayi, tell us the tail and the time as soon as you have them. We build the plan around your departure, coordinate with your handling agent, and confirm what is available in season. Late changes are accepted and handled; we say plainly what still works.

What about customs when ordering private jet catering with a local product at Chiayi?+

Customs at a Taiwan airport care most about what comes in, not what is loaded for departure. Local fruit, such as wax apple or mango, goes on the menu as a regional speciality, packed and sealed. For arriving flights, leftover galley food is handled according to local rules, and your handling agent can tell you what must be disposed of. We adapt the menu to the rule.

Can you bring food from outside when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Chiayi?+

Passenger numbers shift, and we plan for it. A late increase is handled by adding portions of the same dishes; a decrease by trimming. Private food from outside is not forbidden but invites a customs question we would rather you not face, so use us for the change.

Is catering part of a charter into Chiayi, including a return leg ordered from here for the way back?+

Many clients ask this about a return leg. The answer is that the flight price does not include food, so a meal for the way back is its own order. We can fix the menu in advance, keep the diets consistent from the outbound, and deliver to the aircraft on the return slot.
