Catering to your aircraft in Kherson.
Kherson International sits on flat steppe ground at 148 feet, so the apron is exposed to summer heat and winter wind. We pack for that: sealed cold dishes, hot dishes that finish in your oven, all handed over by former VIP flight attendants.
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.
The Kherson Oblast table starts with what grows on the flat southern plain: tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and, in late summer, watermelons from a region long known for them. Our private jet menu for Kherson turns these into an inflight menu a flight attendant can actually serve, with private jet food that holds in a galley drawer. Local specialities such as Black Sea and Dnipro river fish, smoked or baked, and vegetable caviar are packed cold with their accompaniments apart. Private jet platters of cured meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables and dark rye give a sharing course, while gourmet inflight meals such as stuffed cabbage rolls or a Ukrainian borscht travel hot, sauce apart where needed. Private jet snacks run to sunflower seed brittle, dried fruit and baked pastries with poppy seed. For {Region} flights we confirm seasonal produce before cooking, because the steppe summer and its short season drive what is good.
Kherson Oblast cooking is steppe and river: melons, tomatoes, sweet peppers, sunflower oil and fish from the Dnipro estuary. A private jet menu here is built around those local specialities rather than imported cliches. The inflight menu can open with a cold plate of marinated vegetables and smoked fish, then move to a hot course such as vareniki or stuffed peppers that finishes in the galley oven. Private jet food from Kherson Oblast travels well when plated cold and re-plated by the crew. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks are all written around what is ripe, and Kherson itself is named on the order so the kitchen builds for that terrain.

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.
Kherson Oblast is known for its vegetables, melons and Black Sea fish, and that is where a UKOH menu begins. Our private jet catering is written by former VIP flight attendants for the person working the galley: inflight catering that survives a cold apron, in-flight catering sealed for the drawer, aviation catering cleared with your handling agent, and business aviation catering matched to the headcount. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the protocol brief, and cabin crew meals are added on request and invoiced like the rest.
A corporate or executive flight into Kherson International tends to be short on ground time and long on detail. Business jet catering is packed to be re-plated, not cooked. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering share a single bespoke menu process, and our private jet chef adapts it to your aircraft. Luxury inflight catering at UKOH means seasonal produce, chosen on the day.
For official movements into UKOH, government flight catering is a documented process: the menu is approved, the allergens are recorded and the handover point is fixed. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering use the same team throughout, and VIP aviation catering never carries names on labels, only seat numbers.
Special meals at Kherson are handled as a procedure, not a label. In a kitchen built on sour cream, wheat dumplings, pork fat and fried onion, allergens hide in sauces and fillings, so gluten free and allergen free dishes are cooked and packed separately. Vegan, halal, kosher and kids meals follow the same method: a separate board, a separate box, the card for the seat. Tell us the restriction and the headcount and we confirm what the local pantry can do before anything is cooked.
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.
At UKOH the crew often eats last, so crew meals here are designed for a cold apron and a short turn. Flight crew meals come as boxes, pilot meals are separate for captain and first officer, and cockpit meals travel without sauce spilling. Crew catering is an order of its own, on request and billed as such. Crew meal boxes can be hot or cold, and different meals for pilots can be arranged. Cabin crew meals can sit in the same delivery with a clear CREW mark.
At UKOH we hand over to the FBO or to the handling agent you name. FBO catering is packed in labelled boxes with the oven notes; catering delivery to the FBO and to the general aviation terminal is arranged ahead. Ground handling catering needs clear access, and handling agent catering is agreed before the slot.
UKOH handles a range of business aircraft, from light jets to larger cabins, and the aircraft type decides the loading. Galley catering for a small cabin goes up by hand through the door; larger aircraft may need a high loader and airside catering delivery coordinated with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning is planned against the galley you actually have: oven, chiller, drawers. Tell us the type and we cook and pack to fit it.
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.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
UKOH serves Kherson and its oblast on a flat site at low elevation. Airport catering here is planned around the terminal, the apron and the season, and general aviation movements run through your FBO services and ground handling services.
Business aviation at Kherson is shaped by regional movements and delegation flights. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are planned for each trip; business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the aircraft. Diplomatic flight catering is handled with protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request. We treat it as a business aviation hub in the sense that every movement is planned, not assumed.
Ukraine controls the import of animal products, so we plan menus around what can be consumed on board and what may need to be left. Customs rules for the destination matter as much as the departure: give us the route and we write the menu to fit.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“With different crew meal preferences to consider at KHE, we needed a practical way to serve a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides to 3 passengers. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about crew meals. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the sauces, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. It was useful to see the canapés listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”
“Our priority at Kherson International Airport was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 10 passengers, with a changing departure schedule shaping the service plan. I would discuss FBO catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination. I asked The Galley Girls for the snack boxes in divided catering boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the fruit plates ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation.”
“Despite a late menu amendment, we wanted the 12 guests at UKOH to enjoy yoghurt pots and fresh berries without a complicated cabin service. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. The crew provisions were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. This experience of airport catering gave us a useful reference for managing crew briefing on another departure.”
Ask what drives the bill and the answer is concrete: seasonal produce, the type of galley, the number of courses, and who has to be cleared to reach the aircraft. For UKOH we write the quote around those four things, invoiced as its own order.
When the cabin is empty on arrival, the useful question is what loads before the return. We can prepare the outbound menu while you wait for the manifest, keeping the galley drawers free until the numbers settle. Lead time at Kherson is shaped by customs, the slot and the produce of the season; last-minute orders are handled.
Customs rules for a two-service flight are about what remains in the galley at landing. We aim to have nothing opened and nothing banned left over: sealed fish, cooked dishes in labelled boxes, produce that can be eaten or disposed of. Check the arrival country and we tune the menu.
A sudden change from four to six passengers is easier to absorb with a catering order than with bags brought from outside. We keep spare portions in the plan for cold items and can add hot portions on request. Outside food is accepted at the aircraft at your own risk.
Not part of the charter, no, even for state-level movements. The meal order is separate and billed separately. For delegation flights it is also vetted, with names kept off the labels and only seat numbers marked.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
