Catering to your aircraft in Yakutia.
Polyarny in Yakutia means cold apron, sealed containers and a galley that has to cope. We cook, pack and label the order for your crew and deliver it at the FBO.
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.
Sakha (Yakutia) Republic is a place where the private jet menu is shaped by cold. For a private jet menu at Polyarny, local specialities lean on what keeps and what warms: stroganina, thin shavings of frozen fish served raw with salt and pepper, travels as a cold item and is plated at the last moment. Reindeer meat, cured or braised, is the hot dish that suits a Yakutia inflight menu, packed in its own sauce so the cabin crew can finish it in the oven. Private jet food from this region also includes pelmeni, cranberry and lingonberry preserves, and dark rye bread. Local specialities are ordered as part of your private jet menu for the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, checked against your galley and handed over at the FBO.
For a private jet menu in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, start with the climate: anything that arrives cold has to stay cold, and anything hot has to arrive sealed. The inflight menu built around Yakutia local specialities includes stroganina plated cold, reindeer braise with the sauce apart, and a bowl of pelmeni that goes straight from the oven. Private jet food here also means lingonberry and cloudberry, rye bread and a hot tea service for a winter cabin. Every item is checked against your galley before it is packed for Polyarny.

At 1,660 feet in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, Polyarny sees aircraft that arrive cold and leave with a galley that must survive the apron. Private jet catering here is planned around the season first and the menu second: what stays sealed, what goes in the oven, what the crew can eat between legs. The same planning covers inflight catering and in-flight catering for charters and corporate trips, aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators, and executive jet catering for owner flights. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same procedure, with every order delivered plane-side by your handling agent.
A business jet catering brief for Polyarny usually starts with the weather and the type: corporate jet catering for a small cabin, VIP flight catering for a longer stay, charter flight catering with a mixed manifest. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your galley, and luxury inflight catering here means food that survives the cold and still looks right on the plate.
Government flight catering at Polyarny follows a protocol worked out before anything is cooked. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are handled by a named team, traced from kitchen to aircraft, and state visit aircraft catering is packed sealed and delivered to the aircraft with discretion.
At Polyarny the dietary question is mostly about what arrives sealed. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are all special meals planned before the kitchen starts: the dish is cooked, packed and labelled by seat number, and kept apart from the guest trays so nothing is opened by mistake. Local fish and cured meat make allergen checks part of the brief for Yakutia, and a kosher meal stays in its original seal until the cabin crew opens it.
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.
On a Yakutia turnaround the crew eats last and fast, so crew meals are built to be easy. Flight crew meals are cooked and sealed; pilot meals are packed so the captain and first officer are served different dishes; crew catering is kept apart from the guest trays. Cockpit meals are eaten at the controls, crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are arranged on request. Everything is ordered and invoiced separately.
The van arrives where your handling agent says: at the FBO, at the general aviation terminal or beside the aircraft. FBO catering is an agreed handover, catering delivery to the FBO is planned with ground handling catering, and handling agent catering is confirmed against your slot.
Some of the aircraft that reach Polyarny need a high loader at the door, and that is a question for the type, not for the menu. Galley catering for a larger cabin is packed in carts and crates that suit airside catering delivery, and aircraft provisioning on a cold apron is done in insulated containers so nothing freezes in transit. Give us the type and the galley layout and we plan the loading around it.

Polyarny Airport in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic sits at 1,660 feet and serves a remote part of Russia where airport catering is a matter of logistics as much as taste. It is a working field, small, cold and practical, with a general aviation terminal that handles visiting aircraft.
The business aviation hub role of Polyarny is small but real. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are matched to the season, aviation catering and business aviation catering to the type, and executive jet catering to the owner's wishes. Diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, cabin crew meals are ordered on request, and general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services are arranged with your handling agent.
Russian customs and food import rules apply at Polyarny. Local catering is simplest, and your handling agent advises on anything brought from abroad. Declare changes in passenger count early.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Food presentation mattered to our 10 guests, but a revised passenger count also had to be considered when organising a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides at PYJ. 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 side dishes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination.”
“Working around an evening cabin service at Polyarny Airport, I asked for mini sandwiches and individual desserts in portions appropriate for our 12 passengers. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the sandwiches and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The fruit plates went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. The order made aviation catering services feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand.”
“Choosing grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 4 people at UERP was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a tight boarding window. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sandwiches to be packed accordingly. I want an aviation catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
Cost at Polyarny comes down to what the turnaround allows. A long ground time leaves room for a cooked menu; a tight departure slot pushes the order toward cold plates and sealed hot items. Stroganina and reindeer are priced as local specialities, while platters and snacks sit lower. The quote follows the menu you choose for the flight.
Ordering here is straightforward when the slot and customs notes are clear, and last-minute orders are taken day or night. Our suggestion is to book the way back in the same request: a return leg ordered from this airport lets us plan both menus around your galley at once.
Catering ordered locally for Polyarny starts inside Russia, so it avoids most import questions. If the passenger count changes at the last minute, tell your handling agent and us, so the order is declared and packed for the real number. Food brought from abroad is treated under Russian import rules.
It is allowed within the country's import rules, but we recommend ordering locally. One local product on the menu, say cloudberry or pelmeni, gives the flight a sense of where it landed without any customs risk.
A charter contract for a flight into Polyarny does not cover catering. The food is ordered and billed separately. Departures at night or early in the morning need extra thought for insulation, so it helps to place the order with the slot.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
