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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Bovanenkovo

Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is reindeer country, and the Yamal table reflects it. A private jet menu for Bovanenkovo can draw on smoked and salted northern fish, such as muksun, nelma and omul, which keep well and need little in the galley. Our inflight menu leans on these local specialities for guests who want something that tastes of the north rather than a generic tray.

Private jet food here works best when it is simple to finish. Muksun carpaccio and cured nelma are served chilled; a reindeer stew travels in a sealed container and finishes in the oven. Private jet platters of northern fish, rye bread and pickled cloudberry sit alongside gourmet inflight meals built on reindeer, and private jet snacks such as dried fish and berry pastilles suit a long leg. These local specialities are cleared with you before the slot.

Cold climate shapes what we pack. For a Yamalo-Nenets sector the private jet menu leans on fish and game that hold their texture, while the inflight menu keeps hot dishes sealed with sauce apart. Private jet food from the region, including cured fish and cloudberry, is plated by your crew. Private jet platters for the table, gourmet inflight meals for the main service and private jet snacks for the leg home are all built from local specialities.

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

Bovanenkovo sits on the Yamal peninsula, a gas-field airstrip surrounded by tundra, where weather decides the day more than the timetable. Private jet catering here has to travel well and hold through a delay: an executive jet catering order for USDB is packed for the galley you have, with cabin crew meals boxed apart from the guest trays. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for this sector are written around long legs and possible holds, and we handle aviation catering, business aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering at BVJ the same way, with a menu cleared before anything is cooked.

Private jet catering in Bovanenkovo for business and VIP flights (BVJ)

Business jet catering at Bovanenkovo usually serves executives heading to or from the gas fields. Corporate jet catering here favours dishes that hold: a chilled plate, an oven main, a private jet chef's tweak for the guest who wants no fuss. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same approach, with luxury inflight catering built from northern fish and a bespoke menu agreed before the slot.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Bovanenkovo Airport (USDB)

Special meals at a tundra airfield start from what the kitchen can control, not a label. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are packed in separate sealed boxes, allergen free dishes are cooked apart, and kids meals travel with the rest of the order. Fish and game dominate the Yamal larder, so we flag hidden allergens such as fish stock and rye early and confirm each dish by seat number with you.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Bovanenkovo Airport (BVJ)

On this field, crew meals are something you ask for when you place the order, and they are billed as a normal line. Flight crew meals are packed so a pilot can eat with one hand during a short stop, and pilot meals can differ, so the captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew catering and cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes, marked CREW, and we prepare different meals for pilots when your policy asks. Cabin crew meals follow the same box.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Bovanenkovo Airport (USDB)

At Bovanenkovo, FBO catering means your order is handed over at the aircraft by the handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO and the general aviation terminal is coordinated in advance, so ground handling catering runs on your slot. Handling agent catering at this small airfield is simple, with one point of contact.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Bovanenkovo Airport (BVJ)

On the USDB apron, the aircraft you fly decides how galley catering gets from the truck to the cabin door. A light jet takes trays through the door by hand; a larger aircraft may need a high loader for airside catering delivery. We check door height and the aircraft provisioning plan with your handling agent, so the galley is stocked the way your galley is actually laid out.

About the airportUSDB / BVJ

About Bovanenkovo Airport: business aviation and airport catering

USDB is a working airfield in the far north, where general aviation is mostly corporate rotation traffic and the apron stays quiet between flights. Airport catering here has to be simple, robust and ready to hold through delays, because the field acts as a small business aviation hub for the gas fields. FBO services and ground handling services are kept lean, so one handover point covers the whole order.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at Bovanenkovo follows the gas-field calendar: winter darkness, summer light and weather windows. As a regional business aviation hub, the field sees executive jet catering orders in rotation weeks, and FBO services adapt to the schedule. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the return leg are ordered from here, aviation catering stays plain and reliable, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals can be added when an official trip passes through. Crew meals travel in their own marked box.

Customs & food import

Food import into Russia is controlled, so we avoid carrying foreign products in. A sealed, labelled order cooked on site lets your handling agent clear it with the least friction. Ground handling services at the field work from the paperwork you send, and the FBO services team at a small airfield deals with one order at a time, so a clean list is the whole job.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Several practical details needed attention at Bovanenkovo Airport, with a selection of petits fours and sandwiches requested for 3 guests and a late menu amendment to accommodate. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the sauces before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. Knowing where the side dishes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Before our guests boarded at USDB, we needed a selection of petits fours and sandwiches divided into 9 portions suitable for a revised passenger count. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sauces clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the side dishes listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. The order made flight catering feel manageable because the galley preparation had been considered beforehand.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Good preparation made the difference at BVJ, where 6 guests expected a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables despite limited fridge space. I wanted clear identification on the side dishes; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the breakfast portions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. The order made flight catering services feel manageable because the galley preparation had been considered beforehand.”

Asked before every USDB slotAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a Bovanenkovo flight when the weather window decides departures?+

Think of private jet catering at Bovanenkovo as a menu with line items: a chilled fish platter, an oven main, snacks for the leg. A weather window that stretches the day means extra items, which raises the total. We quote that on your actual order, billed like any other.

What is the lead time for catering on a long Yamal leg with two services?+

A leg with two services is mostly a packing question: cold first, hot second, each labelled by seat. Lead time shrinks when the order is clear, and last-minute changes are handled by phone or email, day and night.

How do customs affect catering at Bovanenkovo on a short turnaround?+

At Bovanenkovo, the practical rule is to use local produce and avoid carrying foreign food in. Your departure slot and a short turnaround leave little time for inspections, so a sealed, labelled order from us moves through easily.

Can you bring food on board yourself at Bovanenkovo for the way back?+

Yes, within customs rules, though you carry the risk of an inspection. A return leg ordered from this airport avoids that: the dishes arrive packed for your galley and ready to plate.

Is catering part of a charter to Bovanenkovo if the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own. A late change in passengers is a quick edit to the list, not a new booking.
