Catering to your aircraft in Kolkata.

Kolkata sits at 16 ft above sea level, with a humid monsoon from June and a Puja season that fills the ramp with charters. We cook and pack for the galley you actually have on board, and last-minute orders are handled.

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 Kolkata for your inflight catering

A private jet menu out of Kolkata is built around what the Bengal markets send in that week, and the monsoon decides most of it. Hilsa arrives in season only; outside it we move to bhetki and prawn. Think of local specialities as dishes that survive a galley: the fish is boned and the mustard sauce travels in its own pot, so you heat the sauce and lay the fish on top.

Private jet food from West Bengal splits cleanly into hot and cold. Kosha mangsho and chingri malai curry go into sealed trays for the oven; mishti doi, sandesh and rosogolla ride chilled and need no re-plating. An inflight menu for Kolkata that mixes both gives you something for every row without a second oven cycle.

Mustard oil and nuts run through much of the cooking here, so the inflight menu carries them as marked items, never hidden in a sauce you cannot see. If the guest list is vegetarian for Puja week, say so when you order and the whole tray plan changes.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (VECC)

A hilsa season in the monsoon and a runway shared with scheduled traffic shape every order out of Kolkata. Private jet catering at VECC is written for the person opening the galley drawer: inflight catering packed by seat, aviation catering that respects the oven you have, and cabin crew meals boxed separately for the flight deck. Business aviation catering here leans on Bengali cooking, and executive jet catering for a delegation follows the same discipline as diplomatic flight catering, only quieter.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (VECC)

Business jet catering at Kolkata starts with who is flying and when. Corporate jet catering for a Puja-week board trip is a lighter, vegetarian-heavy menu; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for a family party go heavier on hilsa and mutton. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley you have, and luxury inflight catering here means mustard-oil dishes packed with the sauce apart.

A state visit aircraft catering order at CCU is quiet by design: the menu is cleared by the protocol office, packed by seat and sealed. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering share the same discipline, and VIP aviation catering means one named contact for the flight.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport

In Kolkata, halal is the baseline in much of the city's mutton and biryani cooking, while kosher is the exception and is packed sealed on its own. We handle kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, special meals, allergen free and kids meals as a procedure: mustard oil and nuts are the hidden allergens in Bengali kitchens, so those trays are marked and kept apart.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU)

Crew catering out of Kolkata is ordered on request and invoiced like the rest of the trip, never folded into the guest order. Pilot meals for a Puja-season turnaround are built to be eaten one-handed: rice, dal and a single protein in sealed boxes, with flight crew meals and cockpit meals separated from the passenger trays. If the operator wants different meals for pilots, captain and first officer each get their own box. Crew meal boxes are marked CREW, and crew meals sit apart from the guest trays so nobody opens the wrong one.

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU)

FBO catering at Kolkata means catering delivery to the FBO on your slot, through the general aviation terminal with a handling agent escorting us airside. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated before the vehicle leaves, so the pass is ready when we arrive.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (VECC)

Galley catering for a wide-body into Kolkata depends on the door height and whether a high loader is on the ramp. Airside catering delivery follows the handling agent's escort, and aircraft provisioning is planned around the type before anything is cooked.

About the airportVECC / CCU

About Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU): airport catering for business aviation

VECC serves a city known for its sweets, fish and street food, which makes airport catering at Kolkata easier than at most. General aviation shares the field with scheduled traffic, and FBO services are separate from the main terminal.

Business aviation

Kolkata is a business aviation hub for eastern India, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders rise around Durga Puja. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering often include a vegetarian menu for the festival week; diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals ride the same schedule.

Customs & food import

India controls the import of meat, dairy and fresh produce, so most food on a departing aircraft is cooked and sealed in Kolkata. Ground handling services review the manifest, and anything arriving from abroad is treated as imported food.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Before our guests boarded at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, we needed a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables divided into 4 portions suitable for a small galley worktop. For our team, the strongest part of their airline catering was how they handled packing arrangement. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the main courses into compact food boxes that were easy to handle. Separating the canapés from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
Ahmed Z. | FBO operator

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“With a revised passenger count to consider at VECC, we needed a practical way to serve beef fillet with roasted potatoes to 8 passengers. With crew meals, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls labelled the sauces in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. We could distinguish the main courses at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Timing and organisation mattered at CCU, where our order of a breakfast basket with individual preserves for 7 people involved a short ground stop. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the crew provisions to be packed accordingly. The snack boxes were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. The order made FBO catering feel manageable because the crew briefing had been considered beforehand.”
