Catering to your aircraft in Ishurdi.
Ishurdi is a quiet field in Rajshahi Division, 45 ft above sea level, where business jets land between paddies and mango orchards. We cook and pack for your crew, with local dishes that finish in a galley oven and a handover arranged through your handling agent.
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.

Rajshahi Division is delta country: the Padma runs along its southern edge, and the cooking around Ishurdi leans on freshwater fish, mustard oil, lentils and rice. A private jet menu for Ishurdi starts from that table. The inflight menu can carry hilsa in mustard, rohu curry, chicken bhuna and khichuri, all of them dishes that finish in a galley oven without losing sauce or texture. Private jet food from this region is generous with spice but easy to temper, so we ask how hot the guests like it before anything is cooked.
Local specialities matter more here than any imported menu. Rajshahi is known for mangoes, lychee in season and sweet curd, and these travel well as private jet platters when plated cold and kept chilled. Gourmet inflight meals can pair a mango and cheese plate with a warm biryani or a roast chicken in bhuna masala. For lighter service, private jet snacks such as roasted nuts, puffed rice with mustard oil, and fruit cups keep a long leg comfortable. Ask for the Rajshahi Division plate and we build it around what is in season.

Ishurdi sits on flat Rajshahi Division farmland at 45 ft, and a business jet arriving at VGIS lands among rice paddies, mango orchards and jute fields. Private jet catering here follows that landscape: freshwater fish, mustard, seasonal fruit and slow-cooked curries, packed to suit the galley of your aircraft. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the crew are ordered with the trip and handed over through your handling agent. Aviation catering at this field is built for short, quiet turnarounds, and business aviation catering for charter and corporate flights follows the same routine as every other airport we serve.
Executives landing at VGIS often arrive from Dhaka for a day of meetings in Rajshahi Division. Business jet catering is written around that day: breakfast on the outbound leg, a lighter plate for the return. A private jet chef shapes a bespoke menu, whether the order is corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering, charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering.
Official visitors to Rajshahi Division fly through VGIS with little fuss and a lot of paperwork. We prepare government flight catering with traceable ingredients, sealed boxes and a small, consistent team. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are all coordinated with the handling agent.
Special meals at Ishurdi are handled as a procedure built around local cooking. Mustard oil, ghee, nuts and shellfish paste show up in more dishes than expected, so for allergen free orders we name each ingredient on the card. Kosher and halal meals are packed sealed and kept apart. Vegan and gluten free dishes lean on lentils, vegetables and rice, and kids meals are written with gentler spice.

A crew on the ground at Ishurdi often waits for guests to return from Rajshahi Division. Crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals can be ordered ahead and handed over with the passenger catering. Crew catering includes cockpit meals and crew meal boxes, with different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish.
FBO catering at Ishurdi is delivered to the FBO or the general aviation terminal and handed to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged on your slot, and ground handling catering follows the airside rules of VGIS. Handling agent catering stays simple: one contact, one order, one invoice.
Aircraft at Ishurdi range from light jets to larger business types, and the aircraft decides how the order is loaded: door height, galley layout and whether a high loader is needed. For galley catering and airside catering delivery at VGIS, tell us the type and we plan aircraft provisioning around the door and the galley, so trolleys, boxes and insulated bags are packed the way your crew can handle them.

Ishurdi Airport (VGIS / IRD) serves Rajshahi Division with a single paved runway and a small terminal. Airport catering here is simple, with the aircraft doing most of the talking. General aviation is quiet, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged through your handling agent.
Ishurdi is not a major business aviation hub, but it handles private and charter flights for visitors to the region. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered with the trip, aviation catering follows the aircraft type, and business aviation catering stays consistent with every other airport. Executive jet catering suits owners, diplomatic flight catering suits official guests, and cabin crew meals are added on request.
Bangladesh controls food imports, and customs may seal or remove fresh meat, dairy and produce arriving on international flights. At Ishurdi, the handling agent manages the officer's check and the paperwork. Ordering catering locally for the next leg avoids problems with imported food.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Breakfast was already sorted; at VGIS, the next request was poached fish with steamed rice for 2 guests, with a short ground stop to work around. The snack boxes from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the private jet catering menu arrangements. We left the sauces stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
“I wanted a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 8 guests at IRD, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with limited fridge space. I would discuss private aviation catering with them again, especially when packing arrangement needs careful coordination. The Galley Girls suggested compact food boxes for the sauces, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. The canapés were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“Choosing beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 3 people at Ishurdi Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a revised passenger count. The cabin service sequence stood out more than any sales pitch about business jet catering. I needed the desserts checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The note about the canapés was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”
Three guests become five, or five become three: the order changes with them. Rice, curry and salad portions scale easily, premium fish and meat portions cost more per head. You pay for what leaves the kitchen, listed line by line, whatever the count at Ishurdi turned out to be.
Waiting on the ground wears down a crew faster than a long flight. We keep the handover tied to your schedule and flag early if a requested item needs more preparation. Orders for VGIS can be placed day or night, and last-minute orders are handled without fuss.
Customs rules in Bangladesh treat imported fresh food carefully. Anything arriving on an international flight can be declared, sealed or removed, and the rule applies at small fields like VGIS as much as at Dhaka. Ordering the outbound meal locally keeps the galley clear of any uncertainty.
Carrying food from home is allowed in principle, but customs may take what is not permitted. Ordering the return leg locally avoids the question. We cook the meal for the flight back, pack it for your galley and deliver it to the aircraft before departure.
On an empty leg, the charter contract still excludes food. You can order only for the crew, or place the full order for the next passengers in advance. Both are handled as ordinary catering orders at VGIS.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
