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

The Ust-Kut table, packed for private jet catering

Irkutsk Oblast eats from the river and the forest, and a private jet menu for Ust-Kut reflects that. Lena and Baikal fish are the backbone of the local specialities: omul, grayling and sturgeon, served smoked, salted or baked. Pelmeni, the Siberian dumpling, travel well and give an inflight menu a hot course that survives a cold apron. Private jet food here also leans on cedar nuts, lingonberries, cloudberries and wild mushrooms, which land on private jet platters as garnish or as a small sweet course. Gourmet inflight meals built around these are re-plated in your galley, and private jet snacks such as cedar-nut bars, dried berries and smoked fish bites sit in the drawer for the crew. Ust-Kut is a town of rail workers and oilfield crews, so portions are generous by design; we scale them to the seats you actually have.

For {Region} read Ust-Kut and the Angara-Lena country around it, where the private jet menu begins with fish and ends with berries. Omul from Baikal and sterlet from the river are the local specialities most often requested; they are packed chilled, with lemon and dill apart. Siberian pelmeni and shchi give the inflight menu its warm side, and a plate of wild-berry morse or cloudberry compote finishes it. Private jet food for this field is planned for the galley first: one oven, a few drawers, no space for improvisation. Private jet platters of smoked fish, cheese and black bread, gourmet inflight meals for the main service and private jet snacks for the second leg are all labelled by seat. Anything with nuts, fish or dairy is marked on the lid.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Ust-Kut Airport (UITT)

Frozen ground, a short summer and a runway used by oil and rail-freight people: Ust-Kut Airport is a working field, and business aviation catering follows that rhythm. Private jet catering at UKX is cooked for your type, labelled by seat, and delivered to the aircraft through the FBO or general aviation terminal. In-flight catering for the long leg back is ordered at the same time as the outbound. Cabin crew meals and pilot dishes are on request and invoiced like the rest.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Ust-Kut Airport (UKX)

Business jet catering at Ust-Kut usually serves a small party flying into the Angara basin for energy or rail business. Corporate jet catering here is a clean cold platter on arrival and a hot main for the return, so VIP flight catering stays simple. For charter flight catering, we write a bespoke menu around Baikal fish and Siberian dumplings, and a private jet chef confirms what the galley can finish. Luxury inflight catering at UITT means fewer items done well, not a long list.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Ust-Kut Airport (UKX)

When a delegation flies into Ust-Kut, the menu is agreed with the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering here is discreet: sealed boxes, seat-numbered, handed over at the aircraft. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering use the same method, and state visit aircraft catering adds a traceability record for every dish.

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Ust-Kut Airport

Special meals at Ust-Kut start with the local kitchen, because that is where allergens hide: fish is everywhere, nuts are used generously, and sour cream and butter sit in most hot dishes. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are each prepared and packed on a separate board and sealed, with the seat number on the lid. Kids meals follow the same method, with mild versions of pelmeni and plain baked fish. Tell us the restriction, the seat and the aircraft, and we write the plan around the galley you have.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Ust-Kut Airport (UKX)

Crew meals for a Ust-Kut turnaround are added to the order on request and billed on the same invoice as the guest food. Flight crew meals for a day on the ground are usually a hot main plus a cold box in the drawer, and pilot meals are packed to be eaten one-handed in the cockpit. Crew catering for a long wait can run to two services. Cockpit meals and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator asks for them, with cabin crew meals packed separately.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Ust-Kut Airport (UKX)

At UITT, the FBO and the handling agent are the route in. We deliver to the general aviation terminal or straight to the aircraft, as your handling agent prefers. FBO catering, catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering all start from the same order, which the crew checks at the foot of the stairs.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Ust-Kut Airport (UITT)

What goes aboard at UITT depends on the door of your type: the cabin sill sets whether boxes go up by hand or by lift. A light jet with a low door takes boxed galley catering by hand; a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery, arranged through the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning on a cold apron is planned with insulated boxes so hot items stay hot until the crew opens the drawer. Give us the type and the door height and we plan the loading accordingly.

About the airportUITT / UKX

About Ust-Kut Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Ust-Kut Airport is a regional field serving the town on the Lena, a rail and river transport hub. Airport catering for business flights here is small-scale and seasonal, and general aviation sees mostly charters and corporate positioning flights. FBO services and ground handling services are provided through the local handling agent.

Business aviation

UKX works as a business aviation hub in a small way: oil, rail and regional government drive most of its traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered ahead, aviation catering for private jets is handled through the FBO, and business aviation catering follows the aircraft's galley. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are each available on request.

Customs & food import

Russia has strict rules on importing food, and meat and dairy arriving from abroad are the first items to be checked. Food prepared locally and loaded at Ust-Kut is not an import, but the destination country's rules apply on the long leg. Your handling agent can confirm customs for each service on board.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“I wanted vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 3 guests at UITT, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with two separate meal services. I would discuss inflight catering services with them again, especially when final order confirmation needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls suggested clearly marked packs for the snack boxes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. We placed the main courses in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“What impressed me at UKX was how a request for prawn salad and small fruit plates was handled despite a short ground stop. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the starters, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. There was enough information about the snack boxes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I want an inflight catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Lucas G. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“My order at Ust-Kut Airport covered mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 12 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls kept the sauces separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. Keeping the salads aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at cabin service sequence after this experience.”

Ust-Kut in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Ust-Kut when the crew is waiting on the ground?+

Cost follows what you order. At Ust-Kut, where crews often sit on the ground with the aircraft, we add crew meals on request and price them as a separate line. Fish-based platters sit higher than dumpling mains, and we quote after you send the seats and the menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Ust-Kut?+

We cannot promise a fixed lead time for UKX because departures here depend on the weather window. What we can say is that last-minute orders are handled and that early notice just gives the menu more range.

Are there customs rules for inflight catering on a long leg out of Ust-Kut with two services on board?+

Customs matters on arrival at the other end more than here. A two-service flight from Ust-Kut is packed in two labelled boxes, so the unopened second service can be declared or removed as needed. Meat and dairy are the usual restrictions to check.

Can you bring food of your own on board at Ust-Kut, and how tight is the turnaround slot?+

If the slot is short, bringing food yourself means loading it unlabelled into an unfamiliar galley. We recommend ordering ahead; the delivery to the aircraft is coordinated with your handling agent and fits the slot you have.

Is catering part of a charter into Ust-Kut if I also order a return leg from here?+

Catering sits outside the charter agreement itself, so the return leg from UITT is ordered as a second catering order. We handle both at once if you send the two slots, and each is invoiced like any other order.
