Which handler do you deliver to at Tiksi?

There is no single dominant handler at UEST, so we coordinate delivery to whichever handler is managing your aircraft. Confirm their details at the time of ordering and we will liaise directly with them.

Can you cater a repositioning leg that continues to another remote Siberian airport?

Yes. We regularly plan multi-leg provisioning for aircraft moving across the region. Nearby stops including Chokurdakh and Khatanga can be incorporated into a single coordinated order.

How do you handle packaging in extreme cold?

All deliveries to Arctic locations use insulated containers rated for sub-zero ramp temperatures. Hot items are packed in thermal carriers designed to maintain safe serving temperatures through a standard turnaround.

Do you provide crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Yes. Crew meals are prepared, labelled and packed separately from the passenger galley order. They can be specified independently in terms of portion size, dietary requirement and timing.

What is your response time if I need to amend an order?

Our operations desk responds to any query or amendment request within ten minutes, 24 hours a day. For Arctic locations, we flag amendment cut-off times at the point of initial confirmation.

Can you source local or regional produce for a Tiksi catering order?

Given the isolation of the Laptev Sea coast, local fresh produce options are severely limited. We are transparent about this: our menus for IKS are built around produce positioned from our nearest capable production facility, chosen specifically for quality and cold-chain integrity.

Q: How far in advance should I place a catering order for Tiksi?

Given the remoteness of IKS and the logistical complexity of Arctic supply chains, we recommend a minimum of 48 hours' notice for standard orders. Kosher meals require at least 24 hours on top of that baseline lead time.

Private jet menu for Tiksi

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenRussia

To start

Cold-Cured Arctic Char with Dill Crème Fraîche

Fillet cured for 36 hours in sea salt, sugar and white pepper, sliced thin and served with a light dill crème fraîche and dark rye toast. Travels impeccably and suits the Arctic setting.

Cold main

Smoked Whitefish and Grain Salad

Flakes of cold-smoked whitefish folded through a farro and lentil salad dressed with apple cider vinegar and cold-pressed rapeseed oil. Robust enough for a long leg, refined enough for the cabin.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Beef Short Rib with Root Vegetable Purée

Twelve-hour braise in dark stock with bay and juniper, finished with a celeriac and potato purée. A deeply warming plate suited to polar departures and extended flight times.

Morning

Buckwheat Porridge with Poached Pear and Toasted Hazelnuts

Creamy slow-cooked buckwheat, lightly sweetened, topped with a vanilla-poached pear half and a scattering of toasted hazelnuts. A substantial and grounding morning option.

Pâtisserie

Dense Rye and Caraway Loaf with Cultured Butter

A tightly crumbed, lightly sour rye loaf baked with caraway seeds, pre-sliced and paired with a small pot of lightly salted cultured butter. Keeps its character well through cold-chain transit.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Sour Cherry Tart

A short-pastry shell filled with a 70% cocoa ganache set over a layer of sour cherry compote. Rich, temperature-stable and a composed finish to any cabin menu.

Inflight Catering · Tiksi

Private aviation catering at IKS

Tiksi sits on the Laptev Sea coast in the Sakha Republic, a settlement shaped entirely by Arctic logistics and the rhythms of the polar year. Supply lines here are long and conditions unforgiving, which means catering coordination must be meticulous — confirmed well in advance and executed without ambiguity. The surrounding region is defined by permafrost, tundra and the seasonal freeze of one of the world's most remote coastlines. Our planning team accounts for these realities from the first order: lead times are extended accordingly, packaging is rated for extreme cold, and every delivery is confirmed before departure from our production kitchen.

Regional Catering Menu · Tiksi

Tiksi inflight catering

Operating this far north, we lean on preserved, cured and slow-cooked preparations that travel well and arrive in perfect condition. Smoked and cold-cured fish, hearty grain-based salads, slow-braised proteins and dense rye-based breads are natural choices — substantive, temperature-stable and genuinely satisfying after long Arctic legs. For Tiksi inflight catering, we build menus around robustness without sacrificing refinement. Warming broths, well-seasoned pulse dishes and rich dairy-forward pâtisserie all perform well in the cold-soak conditions typical of an Arctic turnaround. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time.
