Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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

Local specialities from Khajuraho for your inflight catering

Madhya Pradesh sits at the centre of India, and Khajuraho's tables lean on Bundelkhand cooking: dal, wheat breads, seasonal vegetables, and sweets made with milk and jaggery. For a private jet menu out of VEKO we choose what survives a galley, not what is merely famous. Local specialities such as bhutte ka kees (grated corn cooked in milk and spices) and poha with sev travel well when packed correctly, and the inflight menu can pair them with a plain, familiar plate for guests who prefer it.

Private jet food in Madhya Pradesh is mostly vegetarian by habit, and that shapes the menu we build for Khajuraho. Private jet platters of paneer, seasonal sabzi, dal and fresh breads come with sauces apart, so nothing goes soft before the re-plate. Gourmet inflight meals can add a regional dessert, and private jet snacks such as roasted namkeen suit a short sector. These local specialities carry the Madhya Pradesh name on the card, written for the person serving the cabin.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Khajuraho Airport (VEKO)

The people who fly into VEKO are rarely in a hurry to leave: guests come for the Khajuraho temples and often stay a night or two. Private jet catering for this terminal is therefore planned around the outbound leg as much as the arrival, with in-flight catering that holds well in a galley with no real kitchen. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders are handed over at the aircraft through the FBO or your handling agent. For diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals, ask us on the phone and we will agree the protocol before anything is cooked.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Khajuraho Airport

A typical Khajuraho business jet brief is a light jet with four to eight guests, one night on the ground, and a menu that has to survive a galley without a full kitchen. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here lean on cold plates and one hot course; VIP flight catering adds a local dessert. Charter flight catering is ordered like any other, and a private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around Bundelkhand ingredients. Luxury inflight catering is mostly about timing and presentation, not quantity.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Khajuraho Airport

Government and head of state flights into Khajuraho are rare but handled with discretion. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are cleared through the protocol office before the kitchen starts, with sealed containers, no names on labels, and handover through the handling agent. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering use the same procedure: traceability, a named team, and a short list of approved dishes.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Khajuraho Airport (VEKO)

At Khajuraho the kitchen is already largely vegetarian, which helps, but allergens still hide in ghee, nut pastes, wheat and shared fryers. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals are handled as a procedure: separate board, separate box, seat number on the lid. Kids meals can be mild versions of the same dishes. Tell us the restriction on the order and we plan the menu around it.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Khajuraho Airport (HJR)

Ask for crew meals when you place the Khajuraho order; they are billed as a normal line. Flight crew meals and crew catering are packed separately from the guest food. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are designed for a flight deck where nobody has two hands free, and different meals for pilots are made on request. Crew meal boxes are labelled by role, not by name.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Khajuraho Airport

FBO catering at Khajuraho is handed over at the aircraft. We coordinate catering delivery to the FBO and with your handling agent; the general aviation terminal is small, so access is quick to arrange. Ground handling catering is planned around your slot, and handling agent catering follows the same route: the handling agent opens the apron gate and we hand over at the stairs.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Khajuraho Airport (HJR)

Khajuraho mostly sees light jets and turboprops, so galley catering here is usually carried up the aircraft stairs rather than loaded by high loader. If a larger type is coming, tell us the type and we confirm the door height and whether airside catering delivery needs a high loader through the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning is planned from the galley you actually have: ovens, drawers, chilled space.

About the airportVEKO / HJR

General aviation and airport catering at Khajuraho Airport (HJR)

HJR is a compact airport in the Bundelkhand region, and its general aviation traffic is small but steady. Airport catering and FBO services stay simple here: one terminal, one apron, and ground handling services run by an agent who knows the field. Because Khajuraho works as a seasonal business aviation hub for heritage travel, we plan the galley before you land.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Khajuraho is seasonal, driven by temple visits, heritage tours and the occasional delegation. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered with the tail and the slot; aviation catering and business aviation catering are written for light jets and turboprops. Executive jet catering follows the same pattern, and diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol. Cabin crew meals are ordered with the flight and handed over at the aircraft.

Customs & food import

India controls food entering the country, so imported items on a menu need checking before they are packed; customs may open sealed boxes, and we keep ingredient lists ready. Local produce, dairy and breads avoid the issue, which is why a Madhya Pradesh menu is simplest for HJR. Ground handling services at the field will tell you what the apron allows on the day.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Nothing about the 6 guest order at HJR called for excess complexity: just a charcuterie board and fresh bread and sensible planning for several individual meal preferences. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the salads, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the starters before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. I would discuss business jet catering with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination.”

Chiara L. | Government flight manager

BBJ

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“The cabin briefing at Khajuraho Airport included 8 passenger meals, a request for prawn salad and small fruit plates, and instructions addressing two separate meal services. The Galley Girls prepared the crew provisions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. For our team, the strongest part of their business aviation catering was how they handled crew briefing. Keeping the sauces aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Falcon 8X

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Rather than an elaborate service at VEKO, our 8 guests wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes, organised sensibly around a changing departure schedule. For our team, the strongest part of their jet catering was how they handled galley preparation. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the salads before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

Questions crews ask about KhajurahoAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Khajuraho when the handling agent has to arrange airside access?+

Think of two lines: the menu, and whatever the handling agent charges to bring it to the aircraft. A simple Bundelkhand vegetarian lunch sits at one end, a multi-course hot dinner with special-diet boxes at the other. We confirm both lines on the quote.

What lead time should we expect for a Khajuraho order, given India's food-import rules?+

Orders to HJR run easier when the menu stays local, because fresh produce and dairy come from Madhya Pradesh instead of being imported. If you want an imported product, tell us early so customs rules can be checked. Last-minute orders are handled; they simply suit a local menu best.

What do customs ask about catering on a government flight into Khajuraho?+

Customs on a delegation flight look at what comes aboard, so we pack sealed, labelled by seat number, with ingredient lists on hand. Diplomatic flight catering at Khajuraho is cleared with your protocol officer before the kitchen starts.

Can you bring food from home for a night departure or early-morning slot out of Khajuraho?+

You can, but India's customs and security rules still apply, and food you did not order through us cannot be checked or labelled by us. For night and early-morning slots we are reachable 24/7 and pack to the galley you have.

Is catering part of a charter into Khajuraho?+

No. Catering sits outside the charter contract: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own. For a Khajuraho flight we would suggest one local dish, such as bhutte ka kees, alongside plainer options.
