Catering to your aircraft in Norilsk.
Alykel at 574 ft, a frozen ramp for most of the year and a general aviation terminal that handles the business traffic: we pack for that cold and hand the order over at the aircraft, the way a former VIP flight attendant would want it.
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.
Norilsk and the Taimyr peninsula in Krasnoyarsk Krai give a private jet menu its own character: Arctic fish, reindeer, wild berries and mushrooms from the tundra edge. An inflight menu for UOOO leans on these local specialities because they travel well in a cold-climate galley. Private jet food here works best as cold plates and slow-cooked mains that finish in the oven on board. We build private jet platters from smoked and cured Arctic fish, gourmet inflight meals around reindeer or river fish with the sauce in its own pot, and private jet snacks from cloudberry, cedar nuts and dark rye. The Norilsk apron is brutally cold, so nothing is left to stand outside; plating decisions are made for the drawer, not the ramp.
Ask for a private jet menu out of Norilsk and the honest answer starts with the climate: Alykel at 574 ft, a long polar winter, frozen cargo logistics. The region of Krasnoyarsk Krai supplies omul and whitefish, venison, pine nuts and cloudberry, the local specialities that give private jet food a sense of place. Our inflight menu for NSK is therefore built around robust items: cured fish boards, hearty hot dishes with sauce apart, rye and cheese. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all follow the same rule, built to leave a cold ramp intact and be re-plated in a warm cabin.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Alykel sits on the Taimyr tundra at 574 ft, and in January the apron is dark for weeks; private jet catering here is planned around cold, snow and a handover that happens at the aircraft door. Inflight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering for Norilsk UOOO are briefed to the galley you actually fly, from executive jet catering for mining executives to diplomatic flight catering for official parties, with cabin crew meals boxed separately.
Business jet catering at Norilsk is usually a small party on a long Arctic leg: a bespoke menu, a private jet chef's cold boards and one hot main that finishes in the oven. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering are briefed to the type; charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same packing rules.
Official movements into Norilsk run through the protocol office: the menu is agreed before cooking, no names on labels. Head of state flight catering, government flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering all follow the same traceable process.
Special meals out of Norilsk are a matter of procedure, because local cooking leans on cream, wheat dumplings, cured fish and hidden stock. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are sealed and marked by seat; an allergen free tray is prepared on a separate board and stays closed until you open it in the galley. Kids meals are simple and mild, and any special meal can be added to the order.
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.
Between the polar-night rotation and a cold ramp, the crew eats last. We make crew meals on request, invoiced with the order: flight crew meals and crew catering in sealed boxes, pilot meals and cockpit meals that need no table, crew meal boxes marked CREW, and different meals for pilots if the operator wants them.
FBO catering at Alykel is handed over at the aircraft or the general aviation terminal, coordinated with your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are one handover; handling agent catering means you give the tail and slot once.
Larger aircraft landing at Alykel change how the load goes in: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and what the galley can hold in a cold hold. Galley catering for a wide-body is packed in trolleys and sealed boxes; airside catering delivery is agreed with the handling agent so that aircraft provisioning does not stand on the frozen ramp. Give us the type and we plan to its galley.
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.

Norilsk is an Arctic industrial town, and Alykel is its link with the rest of Russia. Regional business traffic gathers here as a small business aviation hub on the tundra, where general aviation and FBO services work alongside the ground handling services that open the cabin door in winter. Airport catering has to respect the cold.
Most movements are corporate and rotational, with the occasional official party. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering all follow the same cold-weather packing; executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
Bringing meat, dairy or fish into Russia raises customs questions at Alykel, and the ground handling services desk is the one who knows what must be declared before the aircraft leaves. Cooking locally for the flight avoids most of the paperwork, which is why we build the order around Norilsk produce.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“For 2 passengers departing from UOOO, the agreed menu was a charcuterie board and fresh bread; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls grouped the breakfast portions by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The order made in-flight catering feel manageable because the crew briefing had been considered beforehand. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“Several practical details needed attention at NSK, with poached fish with steamed rice requested for 2 guests and a revised passenger count to accommodate. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure. The Galley Girls suggested divided catering boxes for the side dishes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the main courses from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Service planning came first at Alykel International Airport, with 3 passengers choosing poached fish with steamed rice and a late menu amendment influencing our preparation. My main takeaway from this private jet catering order was the practical approach to portion planning. The Galley Girls labelled the starters in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The main courses were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
A night or early-morning slot at NSK does not change the dish list, but cold-weather packing and seasonal Arctic fish do move the figure. We quote private jet catering per menu and headcount, and the invoice follows that quote line by line.
Government flights bring a protocol step: names stay off labels, only seats, and the diplomatic menu is agreed before production. Lead time here follows that agreement; last-minute orders are handled where the clearance exists.
Customs at NSK can inspect galley stock. Let the handling agent know what is on board, and we arrange the local order so you land with a clean provisioning plan.
Your handling agent decides where the vehicle goes at UOOO, and we follow that. Food arrives sealed, labelled by seat, and is handed over at the aircraft.
Special meals are never assumed in a charter. For NSK you order them with the catering, and they travel in a separate box so nothing mixes with the other trays.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
