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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Inflight catering with the flavours of Hollongi (HGI)

Arunachal Pradesh does not cook like the rest of India, and a private jet menu for Hollongi should not pretend otherwise. Apatani cooking leans on bamboo shoot, smoked meat and fermented flavours; Monpa kitchens bring thukpa and butter tea; rice is steamed in leaves. These local specialities travel well when planned: we pack them as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, with sauces and broths kept apart. An inflight menu for this part of Arunachal Pradesh can carry grilled river fish, pork with bamboo shoot, leafy greens and sticky rice, finished in the galley oven or re-plated cold. Private jet food from Hollongi is honest, lightly spiced and smoky rather than heavy.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport (VEHO)

At VEHO (HGI) the apron is quiet, the weather swings fast and the terrain is hilly. We plan private jet catering around that: dishes that hold through a diverted approach or a delayed slot, and meals that finish in an oven or re-plate cold. For business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals alike, a former VIP flight attendant reads your brief and builds the order.

Executive jet catering at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport (HGI)

Business jet catering at Hollongi usually means a small party on a light or midsize jet, a short sector and a galley with one oven. Corporate jet catering here favours a tight menu: a cold starter, one hot dish, fruit. For VIP flight catering and charter flight catering, our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu from Arunachal produce, with luxury inflight catering touches such as plated fish and smoked pork finished in the oven.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport (HGI)

Dietary requests at Hollongi follow a procedure, not a label. Arunachal cooking uses fish paste, fermented ingredients and shared smoking racks, so allergen free meals, gluten free plates, vegan and kosher or halal requests are cooked on separate boards and sealed in their own box. Special meals and kids meals are marked by seat number, and nothing is opened until you do it in the galley.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport (HGI)

A flight crew at VEHO eats between turns, so crew meals must be simple and hold well. Crew catering on request covers pilot meals and cockpit meals, boxed with the role on the lid. Flight crew meals can be hot or cold, crew meal boxes travel in the same delivery, and different meals for pilots are prepared to avoid shared dishes. Everything is invoiced like any other order.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport

At VEHO, catering delivery to the FBO goes through your handling agent, who opens airside access. Our FBO catering is boxed and listed for the general aviation terminal, so ground handling catering takes a few minutes of checking. Handling agent catering suits crews who prefer one point of contact.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport (HGI)

Most aircraft arriving at VEHO are light and midsize jets, so the question is the galley, not a lift. For larger types we plan galley catering around the door height and the trolleys the aircraft actually carries. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning is agreed with the type and the slot before cooking starts.

About the airportVEHO / HGI

Aviation catering and business aviation at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport (HGI)

Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi is the newer airport for the capital region of Arunachal Pradesh, set among green hills. It is mainly a scheduled-service field, and general aviation here means a handful of business and charter arrivals rather than a daily rhythm. FBO services and ground handling services are arranged around each movement, so airport catering at HGI is planned order by order, not drawn from a standing operation.

Business aviation

For business aviation, Hollongi is a young stop on the way into the northeast, and a business aviation hub in the making rather than an established one. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here lean on Arunachal produce and on monsoon-aware planning. Aviation catering for diplomatic flight catering and executive jet catering stays discreet, business aviation catering is built around the weather window, and cabin crew meals and crew meals can be added to any order. Your handling agent coordinates ground handling services and FBO services for the turn.

Customs & food import

India restricts food imports, so anything arriving from abroad is checked by customs, while ingredients bought and cooked locally are not. For Hollongi we source inside India wherever we can and note it on the order. For a general aviation arrival, your handling agent confirms clearance steps, and the ground handling services and FBO services on the field take over from there.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Service planning came first at Itanagar Donyi Polo Hollongi Airport, with 8 passengers choosing fresh fruit and breakfast pastries and a changing departure schedule influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls kept the starters separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the aviation catering services arrangements. Keeping the desserts aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

★★★★☆GOVERNMENT

“Small packing details became important at VEHO: our 11 passengers wanted fresh fruit and breakfast pastries, and we had an evening cabin service. I want an aviation catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the main courses and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the desserts were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“My order at HGI covered poached fish with steamed rice for 11 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a family lunch request. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at catering handover after this experience. I asked The Galley Girls to review the breakfast portions quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. It was useful to see the fruit plates listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

Asked before every VEHO slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost on a short repositioning leg out of Hollongi with an empty cabin?+

An empty cabin changes everything about how much private jet catering costs: no guest trays, only crew meals and water. At Hollongi a repositioning sector may need little more than one box per pilot. A fully loaded charter with local specialities costs more because each dish is cooked and packed separately.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when the aircraft type has a small galley?+

What shapes lead time at Hollongi is the galley, not a calendar rule. Larger galleries take a fuller hot menu; small ones take chilled dishes and a single oven item. We handle last-minute orders and plan around your aircraft.

What happens at customs when a special-meal request like kosher, halal or an allergen-free plate arrives at Hollongi?+

Allergen free and gluten free plates travel in their own sealed box, which is exactly what helps at customs. For India, food import rules cover anything not bought locally, so we source within the country where possible and say so in the order.

Can you bring food from home onto a flight departing Hollongi, and how does the handling agent see it?+

Can you bring food? Usually yes, as long as the handling agent clears it at the gate. At HGI airside access follows terminal rules, and outside food may be inspected. Our orders come marked by seat so checks take little time.

Is catering part of a charter into Hollongi when customs and food import rules apply?+

No, a charter into Hollongi does not include meals. You order catering on request and it is invoiced separately. Indian import regulations affect imported ingredients, so a local order is simpler.
