Which handling agents do you deliver to at Xiangxi?

We are handler-agnostic and deliver to whichever operator holds your aircraft on the ramp. Confirm the handler at the time of order and we coordinate directly with them on timing and access.

Can you source local Xiangxi and Tujia ingredients for a bespoke menu?

Yes. The prefecture's smoked meats, black glutinous rice, mountain greens and fermented condiments are central to what makes Xiangxi catering genuinely distinctive. We build these into menus at whatever proportion suits the passenger brief — from a single local accent dish to a fully regional spread.

Is Kosher catering available on this route?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Please specify certification requirements at the time of order so we can confirm the appropriate preparation chain.

Do crew meals receive the same sourcing quality as passenger orders?

They do. Crew meals are prepared from the same ingredients, portioned and labelled separately, and loaded in a way that keeps galley management clean during turnaround. Crew are not an afterthought in how we plan an uplift.

Can you coordinate catering for onward sectors beyond Xiangxi?

Yes. If your routing continues toward Chongqing, Guiyang, Yichang or elsewhere, we manage multi-leg provisioning as a single brief through our worldwide network, keeping menus and standards consistent across each sector.

How far in advance should I place an order for Xiangxi private jet catering?

We recommend as much notice as the schedule allows. For standard orders, same-day service is routinely achievable. Bespoke menus, large passenger counts and Kosher requirements benefit from 24 hours or more. Contact us as soon as the trip is confirmed and we will advise on lead times for specific requests.

Xiangxi private jet catering menu

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Xiangxi departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenChina

To start

Wild Fern Shoot and Tofu Salad

Blanched mountain fern shoots dressed with aged black vinegar, toasted sesame oil and a scatter of crushed toasted peanuts. A clean, slightly bitter opener that prepares the palate well.

Hot main

To finish

Osmanthus and Black Rice Pudding

Chilled black glutinous rice set with coconut milk and finished with a spoonful of Xiangxi tung blossom honey and dried osmanthus flowers. Elegant, lightly sweet and served at cabin temperature.

Inflight Catering · Xiangxi

Private jet catering in Xiangxi

Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture occupies a deeply folded landscape of limestone gorges, ancient river valleys and terraced farmland in western Hunan. The region's agricultural traditions — cured meats, wild mountain vegetables, fermented bean pastes and aromatic rice varieties — reflect centuries of Tujia and Miao culinary heritage that is genuinely distinct from the Sichuan and Hunan mainstreams that flank it. Tongren, the nearest significant aviation hub at 71 kilometres, sits just across the Guizhou border and shares much of Xiangxi's highland produce culture. Sourcing within this corridor gives our kitchen access to ingredients that rarely appear on conventional inflight menus: smoke-dried preserved pork, hand-harvested tung blossom honey and the tart mountain greens locals call suancai. We draw on these thoughtfully, presenting them in formats suited to the aircraft galley without obscuring what makes them worth eating.

Regional Catering Menu · Xiangxi

Fresh catering for Xiangxi flights

Aircraft catering for Xiangxi leans into the prefecture's cured and fermented pantry. Tujia-style smoked pork, sliced thin and paired with pickled young ginger, translates cleanly into a composed cold platter that holds well at altitude. Black glutinous rice — a Miao staple grown in terraced paddies across the region — forms the base of both savoury and sweet preparations, from a mushroom-and-herb congee for early departures to a chilled black-rice pudding finished with osmanthus syrup. Wild fern shoots, briefly blanched and dressed with sesame and aged black vinegar, bring a distinctive bitterness that cuts through richer dishes on longer sectors. For passengers seeking something more familiar, our kitchen produces composed Western cold mains and hot proteins that meet the same sourcing discipline: free-range poultry from highland farms, seasonal vegetables, and stocks made from scratch rather than concentrate. Crew meals receive the same attention as passenger orders — portioned, labelled and loaded separately so galley management on turnaround stays straightforward. Kosher requirements can be accommodated with 24 hours' notice.
