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

Allahabad on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at IXD

Allahabad, now Prayagraj, sits where the Ganga meets the Yamuna, and its private jet menu reflects Uttar Pradesh river-city cooking. An inflight menu here leans on local specialities: Prayagraj's famous amrood, the guavas that ripen in winter, sold across the city, can be cut and chilled as a fruit plate. Private jet food from this region is mostly vegetarian by habit, with kachori, aloo sabzi, dal and puri among the dishes passengers ask for first. We cook them for a galley, with gravies packed apart and breads sealed for re-plating.

Uttar Pradesh is the frame for this page: Prayagraj, formerly Allahabad, has its own table of local specialities, and a private jet menu built here borrows from it honestly. Private jet food from the city is cooked in ghee and spiced gently, and the inflight menu usually comes down to a few robust items that survive a drawer and an oven: dal, kofta, jeera rice, kachori. Winter guavas and seasonal fruit arrive chilled. Dishes are packed so the cabin crew can plate them without cooking anything on board.

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

Prayagraj Airport sits at 322 ft on the Gangetic plain, and its business aviation traffic swells and thins with the pilgrimage calendar. Private jet catering here means planning around heat, dust and a small apron, from a galley brief that suits a northern Indian palate. Your inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders for VEAB are handled day or night, and executive jet catering for the cabin follows the same brief as the crew. Business aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering both reach the aircraft the same way, and cabin crew meals ride with the order if you ask for them.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Prayagraj Airport (VEAB)

Flights into Prayagraj tend to carry corporate guests with firm preferences. Business jet catering for VEAB is vegetarian-forward by default, and corporate jet catering is cooked by a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around allergens and the galley you actually have. VIP flight catering, luxury inflight catering and charter flight catering orders are packed, labelled and handed to the aircraft, with sauces apart and breads sealed for re-plating. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for the same sector follow one brief.

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Prayagraj Airport

Prayagraj sees state movements during major pilgrimage years. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are planned with the protocol office, not the kitchen. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are cooked, sealed and delivered through the handling agent.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Prayagraj Airport (VEAB)

Dietary requests at Prayagraj are handled as a procedure built around local cooking. Much of the regional kitchen is already vegetarian, and kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are planned separately because ghee, wheat flour and shared tawa surfaces are common allergen routes in a northern Indian kitchen. Special meals are packed apart, marked by seat number, and handed to the crew with the allergen details written out.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Allahabad (IXD)

At Prayagraj the crew's own food is a separate line you ask for, and it appears on the invoice like any other dish. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed at a short turn. Crew catering comes as crew meal boxes, and we can supply different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it, so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals can be added to the same booking when you ask.

FBO catering at Prayagraj Airport (IXD): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Prayagraj means handover at the general aviation terminal, with ground handling catering coordinated by your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is planned around your slot, and handling agent catering requests cover apron access and the pass.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Prayagraj Airport

Heavier aircraft need to be planned for before they arrive. At Prayagraj, galley catering for a larger cabin depends on door height, whether a high loader is available on the apron, and how the airside catering delivery is routed with the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning for a wide-body or VIP-configured aircraft is confirmed with the type and the galley layout, so what is loaded matches what the galley can actually store.

About the airportVEAB / IXD

Aviation catering and business aviation at Prayagraj Airport (IXD)

Prayagraj Airport is a regional field in eastern Uttar Pradesh with a modest terminal and a steady flow of government and pilgrimage traffic. For airport catering the key facts are the apron size, the general aviation side, and the season.

Business aviation

Prayagraj behaves like a seasonal business aviation hub: quiet months, then Kumbh traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders swell, aviation catering for government tails grows, and business aviation catering for charters follows. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all ride on the same order process, alongside ground handling services and general aviation FBO services.

Customs & food import

India's customs rules on food imports are strict, especially for meat, dairy and plant material. For a Prayagraj arrival, declare any leftover catering and plan fresh local meals for departure.

Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“We kept the passenger brief simple at Prayagraj Airport: a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 9 guests, organised with several individual meal preferences in mind. I needed the salads checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. There was no need to reconstruct the sandwiches quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. The order made crew meals feel manageable because the meal organisation had been considered beforehand.”

Joon F. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

Gulfstream G650ER

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Nothing about the 11 guest order at VEAB called for excess complexity: just poached fish with steamed rice and sensible planning for a revised passenger count. I asked The Galley Girls for the canapés in shallow trays, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. With FBO catering, careful attention to catering handover matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Felipe E. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★CHARTER

“The cabin briefing at IXD included 6 passenger meals, a request for prawn salad and small fruit plates, and instructions addressing a short ground stop. The desserts from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. With airport catering, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

Before you order at VEABAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when a passenger needs a kosher or allergen-free meal at Prayagraj?+

Price here follows the specifics of the order: sealed special meals, seasonal fruit, chilled items. How much does private jet catering cost at Prayagraj? We quote it per menu once we know what each passenger needs.

What lead time does the handling agent at Prayagraj need for airside access?+

Airside access is the step that sets the pace at Prayagraj. Share the tail and the handover point with your handling agent early, and the order follows. Last-minute orders are handled too.

What do customs rules in India mean for food on a private jet landing at Prayagraj?+

Food-import rules for India mean uneaten foreign catering from a previous sector may not clear at VEAB. Fresh, locally prepared meals avoid that problem, and we pack them with clear labels for any inspection.

Can you bring food for a delegation or government flight at Prayagraj?+

Official and delegation flights are among the busiest at Prayagraj in pilgrimage years. We cook for the galley, mark every tray, and hand over at the FBO. Outside food can be brought by the crew, but security and customs may want to inspect it.

Is catering part of a charter on a night departure from Prayagraj?+

No, catering is outside the charter. A night departure from VEAB does not change that: you place a separate order, we coordinate with your handling agent, and we are available 24/7.
