Catering to your aircraft in Cox's Bazar.
At 12 ft above the sea, CXB serves resort traffic and the occasional charter, and the humid air shapes how we pack. We build the menu from local fish, rice and sweets, and the crew plates it from the drawer.
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.

Cox's Bazar is a long-beach resort town, and the private jet menu for Chittagong Division follows the water. Hilsa is the fish people ask about, and prawns from the coastal farms are the second request. Our inflight menu leans on both, cooked the Bengali way with mustard, coconut and green chilli, then packed so it travels. Private jet food for this airport has to survive humid ramp air, so rich sauces go in their own pots and anything fried is re-crisped in the galley oven rather than carried hot.
Local specialities are a selling point for guests flying out of Cox's Bazar. For private jet platters we build around grilled sea fish, prawn malai and lighter plates of seasonal tropical fruit. For gourmet inflight meals we send rice, a fish or chicken curry and a vegetable side, with the sauce apart. For private jet snacks we pack roasted nuts, puffed rice mixes and sweets such as sandesh, each in a sealed tray that stays out of the drawer until needed.
The Cox's Bazar table is coastal Bengali: fish first, then rice, then sweets. A private jet menu here can pair a clear fish starter with a main of prawn or chicken, and a light dessert of fruit or mishti. The inflight menu keeps spice adjustable by sending chilli paste apart. Because Chittagong Division produces much of the rice and fish on these plates, the private jet food stays fresh and local. These local specialities are tagged by seat so the flight attendant plates without guessing.

Cox's Bazar Airport sits at 12 ft on the Bay of Bengal, and a private jet menu here is built from what the coast gives: prawns, sea fish, coconut, and the Bengali kitchen behind them. As private jet catering for VGCB, it reaches the crew by way of the FBO or your handling agent, packed for the galley you actually have. For the same airport we also handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for charter and owner flights, plus aviation catering and business aviation catering for operators on the beach-resort circuit. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follow the same route to the aircraft, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request with the trip.
Business jet catering at Cox's Bazar often means a small group heading to or from a resort stay. Corporate jet catering here favours light, fish-led menus. For VIP flight catering and charter flight catering, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the guests, and luxury inflight catering for a larger cabin is cooked and labelled by seat.
When a state delegation flies through VGCB, the order goes through the protocol office, not the kitchen. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cooked by a small named team. State visit aircraft catering is sealed and traceable, with no names on the labels, only seat numbers.
At Cox's Bazar, special meals are a procedure built around the local kitchen. Fish sauce, shrimp paste and mustard oil appear in many Bengali dishes, so allergen free orders are cooked on separate boards and boxed apart. Halal is the norm in Bangladesh and kosher is made on request. Vegan, gluten free and kids meals are cooked from the same ingredients, with cards by seat number.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crew meals for a turnaround at CXB are not on the passenger tray: they are a separate, invoiced order. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering are cooked in Bengali or international style. Cockpit meals are packed to eat quickly, crew meal boxes are marked, and different meals for pilots are available when captain and first officer should not share a dish.
FBO catering at Cox's Bazar is handed over at the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering follows the apron rules. Handling agent catering is simple to coordinate when you give us the tail and the slot.
On the CXB apron, the type of aircraft settles how trays reach the galley. A light jet takes trays by hand through the door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery. We confirm the door height and galley layout, then plan galley catering and aircraft provisioning around them. Your handling agent coordinates the access, and we pack carts to match the galley you have.

Cox's Bazar Airport serves the long beach resort and the Chittagong Division coast. For airport catering it is a seasonal field: busy in the dry months, quieter in the monsoon. General aviation is modest, and FBO services and ground handling services are usually arranged through one handling agent who coordinates arrivals and departures on the apron.
VGCB works as a small business aviation hub for the resort circuit: owners and charter groups in the dry season, very little in the monsoon. For inflight catering and in-flight catering we lean on Bay of Bengal seafood, and aviation catering and business aviation catering shift with the season. Executive jet catering is packed for compact galleys, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced separately.
Bangladeshi rules limit the import of meat, dairy and fresh produce. Locally cooked catering avoids most import questions, and labelled trays make inspection straightforward. Your handling agent, who also provides the FBO services and ground handling services on the field, can advise on what applies on the day of departure.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Good preparation made the difference at VGCB, where 5 guests expected poached fish with steamed rice despite a short ground stop. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the salads before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. We could account for the crew provisions before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I would discuss private jet food with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination.”
“On this departure from CXB, 5 passengers had chosen avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and several individual meal preferences needed to be reflected in the order. The Galley Girls suggested compact food boxes for the breakfast portions, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet meals was how they handled storage requirements. We placed the main courses in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
“Breakfast was already sorted; at Cox's Bazar Airport, the next request was a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 10 guests, with several individual meal preferences to work around. Our brief for private jet menu was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls grouped the salads by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The starters were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
A short turnaround at CXB limits what the crew can reheat, so we often suggest dishes that need little galley time. That choice lowers cost as well. A fuller hot service for a night departure with several guests costs more. We quote on the actual menu, not a general rate.
At VGCB a short orders list for a small cabin is easy to turn around. A big galley with several courses needs more coordination. Last-minute orders are handled in either case, and we recommend sending the tail and galley details first.
Night and early slots at Cox's Bazar put more weight on clear paperwork. Our meals are cooked locally, so there is little to declare, and each tray carries an ingredient label. Imported items follow Bangladeshi food import rules, which your handling agent can explain.
Crews sometimes bring their own, but on a long flight with two services it gets crowded. Customs rules at Cox's Bazar apply to imported items. We recommend one coordinated order: a hot first service and a cold second one, each labelled.
Catering is a separate order from the charter at CXB. Special meals such as halal, vegan or child portions are added to that order and charged with it. We label each by seat and keep them apart from the standard trays.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
