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

Sochi on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at AER

Krasnodar Krai is the pantry behind every Sochi menu. The region grows tea, one of the northernmost tea plantations anywhere, plus persimmons, feijoa, tangerines and walnuts, and the mountain villages above the coast make smoked and brined cheeses, mostly Adyghe cheese.

A private jet menu for Sochi can lean on these without leaving the plate: a chilled platter of Adyghe cheese with Krasnodar honey and walnuts, a Black Sea fish course finished in the oven, khachapuri in the Adjarian style that holds well in a drawer. Local specialities like these travel well because most of them are served cool or only need a short finish.

Our inflight menu for Sochi stays honest about the season. Summer means tomatoes, peaches and herbs, winter means soups, pelmeni and braised meats for guests heading to the mountains. Private jet food from Krasnodar Krai is simple, fresh and easy for a flight attendant to plate at altitude.

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

Sochi sits between the Black Sea and the Caucasus ridge, so one airport serves a beach week in August and a ski weekend in February. Private jet catering at URSS follows that swing: citrus and tea in summer, hearty hot plates when the Krasnaya Polyana slopes open. We write the menu for the galley you fly, and inflight catering reaches the aircraft through your FBO or handling agent. Business aviation catering for owners and executive jet catering for charter crews sit in the same order, and diplomatic flight catering gets its own protocol. Cabin crew meals ride along on request, in-flight catering for the front and the back of the cabin.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Sochi International Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Sochi often starts with a corporate jet bound for a resort week, or a charter flight catering brief for a group landing at AER. Corporate jet catering here is built by a private jet chef around a bespoke menu: Black Sea fish, mountain cheese, tangerines from Krasnodar Krai. VIP flight catering for a short hop stays cold and simple, while a longer leg can carry oven dishes. Luxury inflight catering at URSS means each plate suits the galley you fly, and inflight catering orders for either season reach the aircraft through your FBO. Guests who prefer a lighter in-flight catering plan get citrus, herbs and tea.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Sochi International Airport (URSS)

Government flight catering at Sochi follows protocol, with menus cleared before cooking and handled by a named team. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering require traceability and discretion, and state visit aircraft catering is delivered to the aircraft, sealed and labelled. Sochi's role as a host city for official visits makes this routine for us.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Sochi International Airport

Sochi kitchens lean on cheese, walnuts, dairy and wheat, so allergen separation starts at the cutting board, not on the label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are each packed and sealed in their own box, marked by seat number, and kids meals follow the same method. Special meals are agreed with your flight attendant before cooking, with local produce like tomatoes, beans and herbs doing the work in vegan menus.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Sochi International Airport

At URSS, crew meals are a separate, on-request item. Flight crew meals travel in CREW-marked boxes, pilot meals are cooked apart from the passenger menu, and cockpit meals stay simple for a short break between tasks. Crew catering for a long wait on the ramp can include crew meal boxes with a second course, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator requires it. Cabin crew meals can be ordered alongside.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Sochi International Airport

FBO catering at Sochi is delivered at the general aviation terminal, where your handling agent coordinates ramp access. Catering delivery to the FBO includes ground handling catering for crew and passengers, and handling agent catering is arranged on your slot so food reaches the aircraft without delay.

High loader delivery for jet catering at Sochi International Airport (AER)

Galley catering for a large aircraft at Sochi is planned from the type, the door height and the galley count. Airside catering delivery to a wide-body or an ACJ-size aircraft means a high loader and a handling agent on the ramp, which we coordinate before the slot. Aircraft provisioning for smaller jets uses the standard carts and a short hand-off at the door. Tell us the tail and the galley and we pack to suit.

About the airportURSS / AER

Airport catering at Sochi International Airport (URSS)

Sochi International is a busy airport catering to leisure and business traffic along the Black Sea coast, with general aviation parked on its own apron. FBO services and ground handling services are available on site, and it works as a business aviation hub during peak season and major events.

Business aviation

Inflight catering for business aviation at Sochi is shaped by two peaks: the summer Black Sea season and the winter ski season. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow those cycles, with diplomatic flight catering added for official visits. In-flight catering and aviation catering are written around the aircraft, and cabin crew meals can be added when needed.

Customs & food import

Customs at Sochi inspect food entering Russia, and foreign fresh goods may be refused. The simplest route is to order from local suppliers: the produce is cleared, the meals are packed for the galley, and your handling agent receives them at the terminal.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Service planning came first at AER, with 12 passengers choosing a breakfast basket with individual preserves and an evening cabin service influencing our preparation. I wanted clear identification on the starters; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the fruit plates at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover.”

★★★★☆CREW MEALS

“Getting a breakfast basket with individual preserves ready for 6 guests at Sochi International Airport required an order that accounted for a family lunch request. The Galley Girls prepared the side dishes for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. With inflight catering, careful attention to storage requirements matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. It made a difference to have the snack boxes ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Timing and organisation mattered at URSS, where our order of yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 6 people involved a late menu amendment. For our team, the strongest part of their in-flight catering was how they handled packing arrangement. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the salads before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The cabin team could match the breakfast portions to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

Sochi International: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a special-meal request at Sochi?+

How much does private jet catering cost when one guest needs kosher and another needs allergen free? The quote lists both, plus whatever local produce the menu uses. Mountain trout costs more than seasonal salad; we show the difference in the quote.

What is the lead time for catering at Sochi for different aircraft types?+

The aircraft type decides how simple the order is. Small galleys get cold plates and drawer-friendly dishes, larger galleys can take oven dishes, and last-minute orders are treated with the same priority at URSS.

What are the customs rules for catering on a short repositioning flight to Sochi?+

Russian customs rules apply to food as well as people. For a repositioning flight, plan to leave foreign fresh food behind and order from Sochi, where the produce is already cleared. We coordinate with your handling agent for the hand-off.

Can you bring food of your own on a Sochi flight during crew duty time and ground waits?+

Personal food can travel with the crew, but Russian customs may ask about meat, dairy and fresh produce. For a stop at AER where duty time matters, we recommend local crew meals, ordered with the trip and packed per person.

Is catering part of a charter into Sochi, and does the weather window matter?+

Is catering part of a charter? Not here, and not anywhere: it is booked and billed separately. At URSS, departures follow the season and the weather window, so confirm the slot and we deliver plane-side when it is firm.
