Catering to your aircraft in Magadan.
Magadan is a long way from everything, and Sokol's winters make the ramp a hard place to wait. We cook for that: private jet catering that survives a cold apron and still looks right on the plate.
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.
Magadan Oblast eats from the Sea of Okhotsk. Salmon, red caviar, king crab and kelp are the local specialities, and they translate well into a private jet menu: cold plates travel better than anything that needs a pan. An inflight menu for Magadan leans on smoked and cured fish, pickled vegetables and rye bread, plus hot dishes such as fish soup or a Siberian-style pelmeni, finished in the galley oven.
For private jet food at Sokol we build around what the region actually produces: wild salmon, crab, cranberries and cloudberries, reindeer and game. The local specialities keep well in the cold chain and look right on a platter. Magadan's short summer decides which berries and greens go on the menu; in winter the plate is heavier and warmer, with a soup on the side.

Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Sokol sits on a plateau above the Sea of Okhotsk, where winter ground time is cold and crews rarely get a hot meal on the ramp. Private jet catering at Sokol (UHMM/GDX) is packed for that: cold trays that survive a frozen apron, hot dishes that finish in your own oven. We also cover inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for Magadan Oblast, from business aviation catering and executive jet catering to diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals.
For a business jet into Magadan, the brief is usually short: seats, slot, galley. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here lean on Okhotsk fish, with VIP flight catering and charter flight catering built the same way. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering means a cleaner galley, not a longer menu.
For a head of state flight catering order at Magadan, discretion matters as much as food. Government flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are handled quietly, with seat numbers rather than names on the labels.
Magadan's table is fish-heavy, so allergens hide in broths, cured fish and sauces; we plan special meals around that. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are built as a procedure, with its own board and box, not as a label on a standard tray.
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.
A Magadan rotation is long, and the ramp at Sokol is no place to hunt for a hot plate. Crew meals and flight crew meals are on request, ordered and invoiced like the rest of the trip. Crew catering arrives as sealed crew meal boxes marked CREW; pilot meals and cockpit meals are built to be eaten one-handed, with different meals for pilots when the operator asks. Cabin crew meals ride in their own box, apart from the guest trays.
At Magadan, FBO catering is handed over at the aircraft on your slot. We work with the handling agent: catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow the general aviation terminal's access rules.
A heavier aircraft at Sokol changes the loading plan: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and the galley you actually have. Galley catering is packed to match, and airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent to the aircraft door. Aircraft provisioning for a long Siberian sector means full cold storage and hot dishes that finish in the oven.
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.

Sokol is the main airport of Magadan Oblast and the gateway to the Kolyma region. Airport catering here sits inside a small general aviation operation: FBO services and ground handling services run from a dedicated terminal, and the field works as a quiet business aviation hub for charters, fuel stops and the occasional delegation.
Business aviation in Magadan is seasonal and long-haul. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Sokol cover business aviation catering and executive jet catering, plus diplomatic flight catering for official movements. As a business aviation hub for the Far East, it sees crews on long rotations, so cabin crew meals and crew meals are part of most orders.
Russian customs treat imported food strictly, especially meat and fish. Your handling agent and the FBO services at Sokol will ask for a declaration, and ground handling services follow the terminal's access rules. Check the paperwork before loading, since a missing document is hard to fix on a winter apron.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“What impressed me at GDX was how a request for herb chicken with a quinoa salad was handled despite a revised passenger count. Our brief for flight catering was met with a sensible plan for storage requirements. The Galley Girls labelled the canapés in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The snack boxes were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
“As the person coordinating a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 12 passengers at Sokol Airport, I needed an arrangement that considered a family lunch request. The order made flight catering services feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls kept the canapés separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. We could finish the snack boxes as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
“Good preparation made the difference at UHMM, where 11 guests expected roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables despite a family lunch request. I asked The Galley Girls to review the desserts quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. The quantities of fruit plates matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about airline catering.”
Private jet catering cost at Sokol is built from what you pick, and a changing passenger count is the usual swing. Cold plates scale easily; hot service for a bigger group needs more oven planning.
Ask for one local product, say Okhotsk crab, and we confirm availability first. The rest of the order is easy to build around it, and last-minute orders are handled.
Customs treats food as cargo at an international stop. An early morning slot at Magadan makes pre-clearance matter more, since there is little room to fix a missing paper.
Delegation flights are the exception where bringing food becomes complicated: customs, traceability and security all weigh in. It is simpler to order here.
The charter covers the aircraft; food is a separate order with its own invoice. Customs rules in Russia decide what meat and fish can travel, and we pack accordingly.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
