Catering to your aircraft in Krasnoyarsk.
UNKL is a long-leg airport in Krasnoyarsk Krai, where cold air and Siberian distances shape every order. We pack for crew first, then for guests, and hand over to your handling agent at the aircraft.
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.
Krasnoyarsk Krai is Siberian in the full sense: taiga, the Yenisei river and a table that leans on fish, game and preserved produce. A private jet menu built here borrows from that. Omul and Yenisei whitefish, salted or smoked, travel well on a cold plate. Pelmeni, the Siberian dumpling, is the classic hot item for an inflight menu: boiled or pan-finished in the galley oven, with the sour cream and butter kept in separate pots. Pine nuts, cloudberries and lingonberries from the taiga make good private jet snacks and finish desserts for private jet platters. These local specialities are real, seasonal and easy to portion for a long leg.
In Krasnoyarsk the private jet food that works is the food that survives a hard cold chain. Smoked sturgeon and whitefish from the Yenisei go onto private jet platters with rye bread, pickled cucumber and horseradish cream. Shangi, small open baked pies with potato or meat, and pelmeni are the hot dishes the galley can finish in the oven. Cedar nuts and wild berries from Krasnoyarsk Krai become gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks for the second service. The private jet menu leans on local specialities, with every sauce packed apart and every portion marked by seat.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Krasnoyarsk International sits at 942 ft on the Siberian plain, and a winter departure from UNKL means a galley that has been cold-soaked before you load a single tray. Private jet catering here is built around that: sealed hot items, sturdy cold plates, nothing that suffers in a frozen cabin. Our former VIP flight attendants pack inflight catering for the galley you actually have, with aviation catering handed to your handling agent at the aircraft. Executive jet catering, business aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering all run on the same discipline, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
A business jet catering brief at UNKL is usually a small cabin on a long Siberian leg. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here mean sturdy plates, two services and nothing that fails in a cold galley. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering use the same plan, written by a private jet chef as a bespoke menu around the seats and restrictions you send.
Government flight catering at KJA follows protocol: traceable ingredients, a named team and full discretion. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared by the protocol office before cooking starts, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered under escort to the aircraft.
Special meals at Krasnoyarsk are a procedure adapted to a Siberian kitchen, where the allergens hide in the dumpling dough, the pie fillings, the sour cream and the smoked fish. Kosher and halal meals are ordered ahead and sealed, vegan and gluten free plates are cooked on a separate board, allergen free dishes are packed apart from the guest trays, and kids meals are simple and portioned. Name the restriction and the seat, and the box is marked to match.
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.
At UNKL a crew is on the ground for hours and cold the whole time, so crew catering starts with something hot. Crew meals and flight crew meals are on request and invoiced as usual, boxed so cockpit meals can be eaten from a lap. Pilot meals come in crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots when policy requires, and cabin crew meals are added to the same order.
FBO catering at Krasnoyarsk means one handover: the food goes to the FBO or the general aviation terminal and is released to the aircraft by your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged around the slot, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the same chain.
At UNKL the type of aircraft decides the loading. A light or midsize jet takes galley catering through the main door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery to the aircraft. Tell us the tail, the galley layout and whether the oven is working, and aircraft provisioning is planned around that, not around a menu that does not fit.
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.

UNKL is the main airport of Krasnoyarsk Krai, and airport catering here has to respect winter operations. General aviation uses a dedicated terminal, with FBO services and ground handling services working around the weather.
Krasnoyarsk works as a quiet business aviation hub, with executive jet catering and business aviation catering shaped by the Siberian calendar. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are planned for cold cabins, aviation catering follows the type, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are quoted per trip.
Customs at Krasnoyarsk limit what food may enter the country, especially meat and dairy. Because we prepare the order in Krasnoyarsk Krai, nothing waits on an import check at the airport.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Nothing about the 12 guest order at KJA called for excess complexity: just herb chicken with a quinoa salad and sensible planning for a short ground stop. For our team, the strongest part of their in flight catering was how they handled meal organisation. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”
“Our priority at Krasnoyarsk International Airport was beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 4 passengers, with a small galley worktop shaping the service plan. The final order confirmation stood out more than any sales pitch about inflight catering services. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the starters before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The sandwiches went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at UNKL: yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 12 guests, organised with a tight boarding window in mind. The Galley Girls updated the side dishes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the breakfast portions quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. I want an inflight catering company to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Prices at Krasnoyarsk move with the seats you fill. An empty repositioning flight needs only crew food and a light cold plate, while a loaded departure carries Yenisei fish, pelmeni and desserts. Share the trip details by phone or email and you get a figure for that trip, not a rate card.
Crew duty runs out quickly on a Siberian rotation, and a pilot waiting on the ramp for food is time lost. The lead time for Krasnoyarsk is set by your slot and your handling agent, not by a fixed rule. Last-minute requests are handled, and the crew meal box is packed so it can be eaten in one hand.
Weather decides when a jet leaves Krasnoyarsk, and customs decides what food may arrive on board. Fresh meat and dairy brought in from abroad often cannot cross the border, so private jet catering at UNKL is prepared locally. Give us the slot, and if it shifts the handover shifts with it.
A leg with two services needs two different plans: a first meal that serves quickly and a second that holds for hours. Food carried from home usually fits only one of them, and customs may stop part of it anyway. At KJA we pack both, each marked, with sauces apart.
The charter price does not include food. At Krasnoyarsk, a tight slot makes it worth ordering early, but last-minute orders are handled too. Catering stays its own order, with its own invoice, handed to your handling agent at the aircraft.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
