Catering to your aircraft in Khanabad.
UZSL sits at 1,365 ft on open Uzbek plain, with hot summers and cold clear winters. We cook for the aircraft that lands, not for a brochure, and deliver to 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.
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.
Qashqadaryo is oasis and steppe country, and the table follows it. A private jet menu for Karshi-Khanabad leans on what the region does well: lamb, flatbread, dried fruit and melons, all of it travelling better than delicate plated food. Our local specialities are cooked and packed for the galley, so the inflight menu arrives ready to be re-plated, not rebuilt.
Private jet food for UZSL starts with plov, the rice dish that every Uzbek table anchors on, and with non-bread, the round flatbread that stays good for a whole leg. We build the private jet menu around those local specialities for Qashqadaryo Region, with gourmet inflight meals for the cabin, private jet platters for sharing and private jet snacks for the second service.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Karshi-Khanabad Air Base, known as UZSL, rises 1,365 ft above the dry Qashqadaryo plain, and a stop here means planning for a quiet field with very little around it. We provide private jet catering for crews who need food that survives the galley, with in-flight catering built around what the aircraft can actually heat and hold. Inflight catering for business aviation, executive jet catering for small cabins and cabin crew meals all follow the same brief: packed by former VIP flight attendants and handed over via your FBO.
Business jet catering at Karshi-Khanabad suits small cabins and short ground times, so the brief is usually compact. Corporate jet catering here means a few well-chosen dishes, VIP flight catering means careful labelling, and charter flight catering means a private jet chef cooks to the cabin. Luxury inflight catering arrives as a bespoke menu built around what Khanabad does well.
Official movements through UZSL ask for a named team, sealed packaging and a clear chain of custody. We handle government flight catering for delegations, head of state flight catering for senior travellers, VIP aviation catering for protocol staff, and state visit aircraft catering with full traceability.
Dietary requests at Karshi-Khanabad follow a procedure, not a label. Plov and many local dishes are cooked in lamb fat and cumin, so we check the oil, the stock and the bread before we confirm halal, kosher, vegan or gluten free. Special meals, allergen free boxes and kids meals are cooked on separate boards, sealed, and marked with the 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.
Crew meals for a rotation through Khanabad are a line on the order, requested with the flight and invoiced with everything else. Flight crew meals can be boxed or plated, pilot meals can differ between captain and first officer, and different meals for pilots are labelled so nobody swaps by mistake. Crew catering, cockpit meals and crew meal boxes are packed to be eaten one-handed, and cabin crew meals are separate from guest trays.
At UZSL, we deliver to the FBO and your handling agent takes it airside. FBO catering is labelled by service, catering delivery to the FBO is arranged around your slot, ground handling catering is agreed with the general aviation terminal, and handling agent catering follows the tail.
On this steppe apron the type of aircraft sets the loading method. A light jet takes its trays through the cabin door, while a larger airframe may need a high loader, and galley catering is planned around that. Airside catering delivery is agreed with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is packed in the order the galley will open it.
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.
Karshi-Khanabad Air Base is a military-origin airfield in Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan, at 1,365 ft in dry steppe terrain. Airport catering here is planned for a quiet field with few services on site.
Karshi-Khanabad is a business aviation hub in outline only: general aviation traffic is occasional, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged by request. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are handled by phone, and business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals complete the range for official and crew movements.
Uzbek customs control imported meat, dairy and fresh produce, so local catering simplifies a stop at UZSL. Declare food on arrival, keep packaging sealed, and ask your handling agent about current rules.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 12 people at UZSL was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the salads before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at cabin service sequence after this experience. The breakfast portions went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 3 guests at Karshi-Khanabad Air Base to enjoy a breakfast basket with individual preserves without a complicated cabin service. My main takeaway from this flight catering order was the practical approach to galley preparation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The salads were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
“One detail shaped our order at Karshi-Khanabad Air Base: a late menu amendment, alongside a request for grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 6 passengers. I would discuss flight catering services with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the starters clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the sauces listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
If you order the return leg from here, we price each dish separately so you can see what drives the total. Summer fruit, lamb cuts and special meals change the figure, and the airport does not. We confirm by email or phone, 24/7, before cooking.
A late arrival and an early departure from Khanabad can share one order. We plan the lead time around both slots and the food that has to wait, and last-minute orders are handled. Contact us 24/7 and we confirm what is possible.
Airside access at UZSL runs through the handling agent, so catering for Khanabad is coordinated with them. Sealed packaging, an itemised list and a clear delivery point keep customs checks short. Check Uzbek import rules for animal products if you plan to carry food in.
Bringing food to UZSL is allowed within customs limits, though fruit, meat and cheese from abroad may be held. For a short empty-cabin repositioning, we suggest a crew meal box with local dishes, sealed and labelled.
A private jet charter covers the aircraft, not the food, so catering for Karshi-Khanabad is its own order. A long leg with two services is easy to plan: a hot first service, a chilled platter for the second, packed in the right order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
