Catering to your aircraft in Okha.
At UHSH the apron is cold and the galley is often a single oven. We build the order around that, from fish to crew boxes, and pass it 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.
Sakhalin Oblast gives Okha a menu built from the sea. A private jet menu out of UHSH leans on red salmon, kamchatka crab, sea urchin and the roe that Sakhalin is known for, plus the dairy and root vegetables of the island. Each of these local specialities is packed for the galley the aircraft actually has: crab is cracked and chilled, salmon is portioned for the oven, and sauces ride in their own pots. An inflight menu for Okha mixes these with familiar items so private jet food never feels foreign to the guests. Private jet platters of smoked fish and pickles, gourmet inflight meals with a hot main, and private jet snacks of dried fish and rye crisps cover most trips through Okha.

Okha Airport sits on the cold, windswept northern end of Sakhalin, a field where oil-sector charters and the odd executive flight arrive with a galley that has to work in any weather. Private jet catering for UHSH is cooked and packed for that galley, with inflight catering that travels well, in-flight catering that finishes in an oven or on a cold plate, and aviation catering labelled for the cabin crew meals and the guests alike. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders for Okha are handled by former VIP flight attendants, and diplomatic flight catering follows protocol.
Business jet catering at Okha mostly serves oil-sector executives and small charters. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering orders start with the aircraft's galley and the number of covers. Luxury inflight catering here means clean, seasonal seafood rather than ornament. A private jet chef at Okha plans a bespoke menu around Sakhalin salmon, crab and the season's produce.
Official visits through Okha are rare, and when they come, state visit aircraft catering is prepared in advance and cleared before any cooking. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are handled discreetly; VIP aviation catering follows the same procedure.
At Okha, special meals follow the island's kitchen: fish and dairy are everywhere, so allergen free and gluten free meals are boxed on a separate board with their own utensils. Kosher and halal requests, vegan plates and kids meals are planned around what Sakhalin can supply in season, and each tray carries a seat number and a dietary card rather than a name.

Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At Okha a rotation can stall on the ground, so crew meals matter. Flight crew meals, crew catering and cockpit meals are packed apart from guest trays, and pilot meals are labelled so captain and first officer take different meals for pilots if you ask. Crew meal boxes are on request, invoiced as the rest, and cabin crew meals can be added.
FBO catering at Okha means the food goes to the FBO or the general aviation terminal and then to the aircraft through your handling agent. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the airside rules of UHSH, and catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with the same agent.
Okha handles business jets and mid-size aircraft, so galley catering is usually carried to the door by hand. When a larger aircraft arrives, airside catering delivery needs a high loader booked through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the galley size, the number of ovens and the door height. Once the aircraft type is known, the boxes are sized to its door and its galley.

UHSH is a small northern field in Sakhalin Oblast, used by oil-sector operators and charters. Airport catering, general aviation traffic, FBO services and ground handling services are limited but familiar with private jets.
Cold winters and short summers define traffic at Okha. As a business aviation hub it sees executive jet catering and business aviation catering orders mostly for energy teams. Inflight catering and in-flight catering lean on salmon, aviation catering on fast boxes, diplomatic flight catering on protocol, cabin crew meals on request.
Russian customs regulate meat, dairy and fish entering the country, so imported food on foreign aircraft is checked. Okha handles this through the handling agent; locally cooked meals avoid most questions.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Small packing details became important at OHH: our 4 passengers wanted a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides, and we had an evening cabin service. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the breakfast portions and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. I want an inflight catering company to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Knowing where the salads were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
“An order of mushroom risotto and a green salad for 8 people at Okha Airport had to be organised around a revised passenger count. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the sandwiches to arrive in clearly marked packs. The breakfast portions were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“Getting a cold lunch with cheese and fruit ready for 6 guests at UHSH required an order that accounted for several individual meal preferences. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of starters with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the fruit plates listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
Think of it as menu plus access. At Okha the handling agent controls the gate, so that cost sits next to the food. How much private jet catering costs here is shaped by seafood versus simple mains, and a short call settles it.
Special-meal requests set the lead time here. If your passengers need kosher, halal, vegan or allergen free dishes, send them with the flight details. Standard menus move easily and late changes are accepted.
Russian import rules apply to food arriving on foreign-registered aircraft, and the galley size of your type decides what is practical to load. Locally cooked food avoids most issues, and we label it by tray.
Bringing food is possible, though for an empty-cabin hop it rarely pays. Okha has local fish, bread and dairy, and a small crew box is quicker than managing customs on imported produce.
Catering stays outside the charter. For flights into Okha, you place a dedicated order, and crew duty time and the ground wait decide whether we send hot crew meals or a cold box.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
