Private jet catering at Rajkot International Airport (VAHS / HSR), Rajkot

Catering to your aircraft in Rajkot.

Rajkot sits on the Saurashtra plateau, a business-aviation stop for diamond, engineering and pilgrimage traffic, and the galley rarely sees a meat order. We cook vegetarian Gujarati and jain dishes, pack them for your aircraft and hand them over at the FBO.

What Rajkot brings to your in-flight catering (HSR)

Gujarati food is a vegetarian tradition, and a private jet menu built at Rajkot starts there. Saurashtra is known for its dry snacks: ganthiya, khakhra, fafda with raw-papaya chutney and sev tameta all travel well, which makes them natural private jet snacks for a long leg. Dairy is strong in Gujarat, so kadhi, shrikhand and buttermilk work as cold courses in an inflight menu.

Local specialities that survive a galley: undhiyu in winter, when surti papdi and purple yam are in season; bajra rotla with a garlic-free chutney; dal dhokli, which reheats well in a closed container. Private jet food from Rajkot means thepla packed flat and pickle apart, with jain trays kept separate from the rest and marked by seat. Mohanthal and basundi close the meal.

Cold-chain matters from April to June, when the Saurashtra heat pushes the apron past forty degrees. Chilled items go in insulated boxes and are re-plated cold at altitude. Gujarat is also a dry state, so alcohol is not part of the local order; guests who want wine arrange it separately within the rules of the permit.

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

Rajkot is a vegetarian city, and that sets the brief before any menu is written: no onion or garlic for the jain guests, ghee kept apart, farsan that still crunches after a long leg. Private jet catering for VAHS is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants who know what the drawer, the oven and the cabin crew meals actually need. Inflight catering for corporate and charter flights, in-flight catering for the return leg, aviation catering handed over plane-side, business aviation catering for the Saurashtra plateau, executive jet catering for owners flying in from Mumbai, and diplomatic flight catering for official visits are all ordered the same way, with the tail number, the slot and the seat plan.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Rajkot (VAHS)

Business jet catering at Rajkot is mostly for owners and executives travelling out of Gujarat's engineering and diamond sector. Corporate jet catering usually means a vegetarian Gujarati menu, with jain options flagged on the seat plan. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same pattern, and a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the guest list. Luxury inflight catering for Rajkot often includes a sweet course, since Gujarati hosts expect one.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Rajkot International Airport

When a state visit or ministerial party arrives at VAHS, the catering is cleared by protocol first. Government flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering use the same procedure: a menu approved, ingredients traced, a small team. Head of state flight catering is discreet, with vegetarian defaults in Gujarat.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Rajkot International Airport (VAHS)

At Rajkot the diet card is mostly a vegetarian and jain card, so we match it against the seat plan before we cook. Jain meals drop onion, garlic and root vegetables; vegan, gluten free and allergen free trays are packed separately and labelled by seat only. Halal and kosher special meals are available on request with notice, and kids meals follow the same card.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Rajkot International Airport

Pilots out of Rajkot usually want something they can eat one-handed between the checks, so cockpit meals are packed in boxes, not on plates. Crew meals and flight crew meals are ordered with the flight, marked CREW and invoiced like the rest of the order. Crew catering and crew meal boxes can be split so that the captain and first officer get different meals for pilots, as per operator policy. Vegetarian is the default at VAHS, but we can add egg or chicken boxes on request. Pilot meals travel in a separate bag so nobody opens a passenger tray by mistake.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Rajkot International Airport (VAHS)

FBO catering at Rajkot is handed over at the general aviation terminal by the handling agent on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering for the airside run, and with the handling agent catering rules for the apron. We label by seat and by service so the crew can load without sorting.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Rajkot International Airport (HSR)

Galley catering for larger aircraft at Rajkot depends on the apron and the handler, since VAHS is a small terminal and not every aircraft type is served the same way. For airside catering delivery we plan around the door height and ask the handling agent whether a high loader is on the ramp. Aircraft provisioning for a heavier type is agreed before the slot, with trolleys and boxes counted against the galley.

About the airportVAHS / HSR

Aviation catering and business aviation at Rajkot International Airport (HSR)

Rajkot International Airport, VAHS, serves the city and the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. It is a modest field handling scheduled flights and a growing flow of general aviation. For airport catering we follow the terminal's access rules, and the FBO services and ground handling services on your slot decide who opens which gate for the handover.

Business aviation

Rajkot is a business aviation hub for the region rather than a major international stop. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here mean Gujarati food packed for the galley; aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered per menu. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same order route, and crew meals are added on request. Whatever the type, FBO services and ground handling services at VAHS stay small and personal, so the tail number and slot matter more than the paperwork.

Customs & food import

India's customs rules apply at Rajkot: animal products, fresh dairy and some plant material from abroad are restricted, and the officer decides on the ramp. Your handler's FBO services and ground handling services explain what is cleared before you land. Gujarat is a dry state, so alcohol is not part of the catering order. We pack local food sealed, so the return leg avoids import questions.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Breakfast was already sorted; at Rajkot International Airport, the next request was avocado toast components and breakfast fruit for 11 guests, with different crew meal preferences to work around. The order made private jet food feel manageable because the final order confirmation had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls grouped the canapés by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the salads without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“One detail shaped our order at VAHS: a short ground stop, alongside a request for herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 5 passengers. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the desserts quantities from several messages during the final departure checks. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the private jet meals arrangements.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Packing poached fish with steamed rice for 11 passengers at HSR needed careful thought, especially given a late menu amendment. The Galley Girls suggested divided catering boxes for the starters, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the desserts to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. The order made private jet menu feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand.”

What crews ask before RajkotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Rajkot?+

Cost at VAHS is set menu by menu. Local products such as ganthiya, fafda or fresh Gujarati sweets keep the bill modest, while imported cheese or out-of-season produce push it up. We quote after we see the seat plan.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at VAHS?+

A late change in guests at VAHS is common with business visits. Send us the updated headcount; last-minute orders are handled, and extra seats are added to the same boxes.

Do customs rules affect catering at Rajkot?+

India limits some food imports, particularly animal products, and Rajkot follows the national rules. If you order the return leg from here, the food is local and sealed, so it leaves with you without paperwork on our side.

Can you bring food on board at Rajkot?+

Yes, within the airline and customs rules. Most operators prefer sealed, labelled boxes from us, since they are packed for the galley and for the length of the turnaround.

Is catering part of a charter into Rajkot?+

The charter price does not include the food. For two services on a long leg, we pack a main and a lighter second meal, marked by service so the crew knows which comes first.
