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

Regional dishes of Petrozavodsk for jet catering at PES

Petrozavodsk is the capital of the Republic of Karelia, and the local specialities come from lakes, taiga and rye fields rather than from the sea. A private jet menu built for ULPB starts with Ladoga and Onega fish: whitefish, pike-perch and vendace, served smoked, cured or as a soup base. The inflight menu for this region also carries kalitki, the open rye tarts filled with millet porridge or potato, which travel well in a galley and need only a short finish in the oven.

Private jet food from this part of Karelia is honest and cold-climate: salmon trout, smoked fish, mushroom pies and berry preserves. Cloudberry, lingonberry and bilberry arrive in short seasons, and we plan the private jet platters around what is actually picked. For gourmet inflight meals we pack the sauce apart, keep the rye bread sealed and mark each portion, so the crew re-plates at the aircraft without improvising.

Local specialities are the reason crews ask for Petrozavodsk menus at all. A private jet snacks box here may hold rye crisps, dried berries, smoked vendace and honey cake, while the hot side offers a fish soup called ukha, finished in the galley oven. The Republic of Karelia is a place where the menu changes with the thaw, so we confirm what is in season before each order and write the private jet menu around it.

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

Petrozavodsk Airport (ULPB / PES) sits on a 151 ft plateau of lake country, where winter ice fog and white summer nights set the rhythm of every turnaround. Private jet catering here leans on what Karelia actually produces: whitefish, vendace, rye, lingonberry and cloudberry. We handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for this field as aviation catering written by former VIP flight attendants, from business aviation catering to executive jet catering. For state movements we also run diplomatic flight catering, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the rest of the trip.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Petrozavodsk Airport (PES)

Business jet catering at Petrozavodsk is usually a short brief for a small party flying in for lake, forest or industrial business. Corporate jet catering for owners and VIP flight catering for visiting guests rely on what Karelia grows, and our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around fish, rye and berries. Charter flight catering is ordered separately from the private jet charter, and luxury inflight catering follows the same tray discipline as anywhere else.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at Petrozavodsk Airport (PES)

Official movements into the Republic of Karelia need discretion and traceability. For government flight catering and head of state flight catering we agree the menu with the protocol office, pack separately, and deliver to the aircraft through your handling agent. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering follow the same method as every other order.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Petrozavodsk Airport (PES)

Special meals at Petrozavodsk are built around what Karelian cooking hides: fish stock in soups, butter in rye pastry, flour in sauces. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked and packed on separate boards, with kids meals and other special meals written on the order beforehand. Dairy turns up where you do not expect it here, so we check every local recipe against the guest card before anything is packed.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Petrozavodsk Airport

A rotation through ULPB often means a cold apron and a short stop, so crew catering has to be practical. Crew meals and flight crew meals come in boxes, pilot meals are separated from guest trays, and cockpit meals are packed for eating one-handed. Crew meal boxes are on request and invoiced, with different meals for pilots when the operator policy asks for it, and cabin crew meals follow the same method.

FBO catering at Petrozavodsk Airport (PES): delivery to your aircraft

At PES the handover goes through the FBO and your handling agent, who open the airside gate and meet us at the aircraft. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are timed to your slot, and ground handling catering is coordinated with the general aviation terminal. Handling agent catering keeps the paperwork light.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Petrozavodsk Airport (ULPB)

Larger cabins at ULPB mean galley catering is loaded differently: door sill height and the aircraft type decide whether a high loader is needed or a hand-carried trolley is enough. For airside catering delivery we agree access with your handling agent and plan aircraft provisioning around the galley you actually have. In winter, packing includes insulated crates so cold stays cold between the vehicle and the cabin door.

About the airportULPB / PES

About Petrozavodsk Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Petrozavodsk Airport serves the capital of the Republic of Karelia and handles regional and business traffic across a modest apron. Airport catering at ULPB depends on a general aviation setup where the FBO and the handling agent do most of the coordination. FBO services and ground handling services are simple here, and the terminal is small enough that one contact usually sees an order through.

Business aviation

As a business aviation hub for Karelia, Petrozavodsk sees owners, corporate flights and official delegations rather than airline schedules, and the FBO services on the field are sized to match. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are small, careful orders, and aviation catering follows the season. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all run on the same method, with cabin crew meals and crew meals ordered alongside.

Customs & food import

Russian customs and food import rules apply to international sectors from Petrozavodsk, and the practical effect is simple: what is bought locally can be served freely, while food arriving from abroad must be declared and sometimes disposed of. Your FBO services contact at PES can confirm the paperwork for the sector. We write the menu with the route in mind, and flag anything that cannot cross the next border.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Rather than an elaborate service at PES, our 12 guests wanted grilled salmon with a lemon dressing, organised sensibly around several individual meal preferences. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience. I asked The Galley Girls to review the crew provisions quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. There was enough information about the starters to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“My order at Petrozavodsk Airport covered vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 12 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. We checked the starters against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Before our guests boarded at ULPB, we needed roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables divided into 10 portions suitable for a tight boarding window. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The starters were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when written menu details needs careful coordination.”

What crews ask before PetrozavodskAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered from Petrozavodsk?+

A return order from Petrozavodsk lets us plan both sectors on one invoice, which keeps the picture clear. A tray of fish and rye costs less than a berry dessert out of season, and a hot Karelian soup sits between the two. Ask about private jet catering for the way back when you request the way in, and we will quote both legs together.

What lead time does a passenger count that changes at the last minute leave us at ULPB?+

If the count changes after you order, call or email and we rewrite the list. Berries, rye and cheese are simple to scale; whole fish and soup are less flexible. Last-minute orders for Petrozavodsk are handled, and we confirm what can still be cooked for the new number of guests.

Do customs rules affect a local product on the menu, such as cloudberries, at Petrozavodsk?+

A local specialty is easy to serve but harder to carry across a border. Smoked vendace, berry preserves and honey cake are normal Karelian food, and we menu them freely for domestic or outbound legs. For arrivals from abroad, plan the galley with us before the aircraft lands at PES.

Can you bring food on board for a night departure or an early morning slot at Petrozavodsk?+

Yes, you can bring your own food, and many crews do for night and early morning slots out of ULPB. The point is allergens and customs: we cannot vouch for what we did not pack. For a night departure, we suggest we handle the hot course and you add personal items.

Is catering part of a charter for a delegation or government flight into Petrozavodsk?+

A delegation arriving at Petrozavodsk does not get meals automatically with the aircraft. Private jet charter prices cover the flight, and food is ordered and billed as its own line. For official movements we also handle protocol clearance and discreet packing.
