Catering to your aircraft in Tiksi.
Tiksi is the Arctic end of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, and the apron is cold for most of the year. Order for UEST and your crew gets labelled boxes, dishes that finish in the oven, and food that survives the walk to the door.
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.
Tiksi is a Laptev Sea port in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, and the local table is Yakut and northern Siberian: frozen fish, reindeer, and bread that keeps. Our private jet menu for Tiksi is built from that larder, written as an inflight menu that survives a cold apron. Private jet food here means dishes that tolerate a freezing handover at the FBO and finish in the galley oven. The local specialities worth ordering are stroganina (shaved frozen whitefish, served chilled with salt and pepper), omul and muksun from the Arctic rivers, reindeer stew, and Yakut cranberry and cloudberry preserves. For a Sakha (Yakutia) Republic crew, add hot tea and dense dark bread, which travel well and never disappoint. Tiksi is a place where a warm plate at altitude matters more than fine plating.
Order a private jet menu for Tiksi and you are ordering the north: Sakha (Yakutia) Republic fish, game and berries, packed for a galley rather than a restaurant. The inflight menu leans on what Arctic Siberia actually eats. Private jet food from this coast includes frozen and chilled omul, muksun whitefish, reindeer in a braise that reheats gently, and horse-meat charcuterie, a Yakut staple, served cold. Local specialities arrive with a note on service: what goes in the oven, what stays chilled, which sauce travels apart. Cloudberries and lingonberries from the tundra close a meal. Tiksi's cold climate shapes every choice, since a dish that holds its structure through a freezing carry to the aircraft is the one worth ordering.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Tiksi sits on the Laptev Sea coast of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, where the apron is bare in January and the sun does not rise for weeks. Private jet catering here is built around cold: food that travels from the FBO door to the cabin without freezing, hot dishes that finish in your galley oven, and boxes labelled for a crew that may wait on a long polar turnaround. Inflight catering for UEST starts with the weather window, not the menu. Aviation catering at IKS is written for business aviation catering sectors, executive jet catering rotations and the occasional diplomatic flight catering request for official delegations. Cabin crew meals ride in the same order, and in-flight catering for the return leg can be briefed before you leave.
Business jet catering at Tiksi is usually a small, practical brief: survey teams, mining executives, charter flight catering for a Lena delta crossing. Corporate jet catering here means dishes that tolerate cold, VIP flight catering for the cabin with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around fish, game and berries, and luxury inflight catering that still finishes in a single galley oven.
Official visits to the Russian Arctic bring their own paperwork. Government flight catering for UEST is briefed through the delegation, head of state flight catering follows the protocol office, and VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are packed sealed, with no names on the trays, only seat numbers.
Special meals at Tiksi start with the local larder: fish, game and dairy are everywhere, so allergen free work means a separate board and a separate box, not a promise on a label. We cook kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and kids meals as individual orders, with each tray marked by seat number only. Dairy and fish cross-contact is the risk to name when you order, and a child on the manifest gets a plain, mild dish rather than a scaled-down adult plate.
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 cold Arctic turnaround the crew eats last. We pack crew meals as sealed boxes marked CREW, flight crew meals for the whole rotation, pilot meals with different meals for pilots if you ask, crew catering separate from guest trays, cockpit meals that can be eaten in the seat, and crew meal boxes with a hot item for the long sector. All on request, all invoiced.
FBO catering at Tiksi is a handover at the apron. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, ground handling catering moves airside in sealed carriers, and the general aviation terminal door is the usual meeting point. Handling agent catering is confirmed against your slot.
Aircraft provisioning at Tiksi follows the type on the apron. Galley catering for a light business jet is carried by hand; a larger airframe may need a high loader at the door, and the FBO or handling agent confirms which before the slot. Airside catering delivery on a cold polar apron means sealed boxes and insulated carriers moved straight to the door, with hot items packed to hold temperature through the carry. Tell us the type and the galley and we pack to match.
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.

Tiksi Airport, UEST, is a general aviation field serving a remote polar port in northern Yakutia. Winters are long and dark, summers short and busy, and airport catering at IKS follows the same rhythm. FBO services here are modest and practical, and ground handling services are arranged around the weather window rather than a fixed timetable.
Tiksi works as a small, seasonal business aviation hub for survey and resource flights. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering cover those rotations, inflight catering and in-flight catering cover the long polar legs, diplomatic flight catering supports official visits, aviation catering for charters follows the manifest, and cabin crew meals and crew meals travel in the same order. General aviation traffic is light, so FBO services and the handling agent know every tail on the apron.
Russian customs and veterinary rules govern food imports, and meat, fish and dairy are the sensitive categories. Ordering locally for Tiksi keeps the food domestic and the paperwork light, and the ground handling services team at the general aviation apron sees the sealed boxes through without delay.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Between cabin checks at UEST, I coordinated a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 8 guests and explained our concerns about a late menu amendment. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about final order confirmation. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates into stackable containers that were easy to handle. Separating the snack boxes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“What impressed me at IKS was how a request for poached fish with steamed rice was handled despite a changing departure schedule. I asked The Galley Girls for the side dishes in shallow trays, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the main courses as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. This experience of private jet catering menu gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”
“I wanted yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 7 guests at Tiksi Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a small galley worktop. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the salads clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the main courses listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. The order made private aviation catering feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand.”
Cost at IKS comes from the menu you pick, not from the airport. Cloudberry desserts in August are cheap and seasonal; the same dessert in February is a premium item. A hot breakfast for two pilots costs far less than a three-course dinner for eight. We quote private jet catering per menu once you share the slot, tail and passenger count.
Lead time for private jet catering at UEST is simplest when the order is clear on two points: how many meals, and how many services on the flight. A long leg with a lunch and a late snack means two packs, labelled. Last-minute requests are handled, and our 24/7 desk takes the call.
Customs at UEST means Russian rules on animal products, and the practical point is timing. Ordered locally, the food is already domestic and loads without customs friction. A tight turnaround means the handover happens at the aircraft on your slot, with sealed boxes and a clear packing list for the handling agent.
Passengers sometimes carry their own snacks, and that is generally fine for sealed shelf-stable items. Fresh meat, fish and dairy are the restricted categories. A cleaner option is ordering a return leg from Tiksi for the flight home: it is local product, cleared, and packed for your galley.
No: catering sits on its own line, ordered and invoiced separately from the charter. A last-minute change to the passenger count at IKS is handled the same way as the original order, by phone or email, 24/7.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
