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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Rajkot (RAJ)

Gujarat's table is largely vegetarian, and that shapes every private jet menu we build for Rajkot. Saurashtra cooking is spicier and earthier than the sweeter food of the east of the state: bajra rotla with garlic chutney, sev tameta, ringan no oro, lasaniya batata. A private jet menu for Rajkot flights usually starts there, then adjusts to the passengers on board.

Rajkot is known for its farsan, peda and chaas, and these are the local specialities that travel best in a galley. For private jet food we keep fried items crisp in separate boxes and put chutneys and sauces in their own pots. Our inflight menu for this field includes private jet platters of thepla and khakhra, gourmet inflight meals such as dal-dhokli or undhiyu in season, and private jet snacks like fafda, gathiya and roasted chana. Gujarat's Jain communities also shape orders: no onion, garlic or root vegetables, sealed and labelled.

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

Rajkot sits on the Saurashtra plateau, and its single-runway field at 441 ft sees business flights tied to industry, family weddings and pilgrimage travel. Our private jet catering reads that rhythm: vegetarian by default, Jain on request, and every tray built for the galley you really have. For inflight catering and aviation catering at VARK, we pack for the aircraft type first. Business aviation catering here often means a full vegetarian service for a family party, so executive jet catering briefs list restrictions before menus. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol in advance, and cabin crew meals travel in their own marked boxes.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Rajkot for business and VIP flights (RAJ)

Business jet catering at Rajkot usually serves industrialists and their families flying midsize jets. Corporate jet catering here means a vegetarian brief written before the tail arrives. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method, and luxury inflight catering is mostly regional: thepla, khaman, peda. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around dietary restrictions, seat numbers and the aircraft's oven.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Rajkot Airport

Rajkot's kitchens are largely vegetarian, so the real question here is what kind: Jain with no onion, garlic or root vegetables, sattvic, vegan, or simply no egg. We handle kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, special meals, allergen free and kids meals as a procedure: separate boards, sealed boxes, seat numbers on each tray. Wheat and groundnut are the allergens that hide in Gujarati cooking, so those cards get checked first.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Rajkot Airport (RAJ)

Rajkot's turnarounds are short, so the crew eats last and fastest. Crew meals, on request and billed with the order, travel as flight crew meals in labelled boxes. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are separate, crew catering is built around the galley you have, crew meal boxes carry no names, and different meals for pilots are prepared on request.

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

FBO catering at Rajkot is handed over at the aircraft by the FBO or the handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against your slot, and the general aviation terminal is the access point for the apron. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated on the same call.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Rajkot Airport (RAJ)

Most aircraft at Rajkot are light and midsize jets, and galley catering is carried to the door in trolleys and insulated boxes. For larger types we confirm whether a high loader is available through your handling agent before anything is cooked. Airside catering delivery follows the FBO's access rules, and aircraft provisioning is packed in the order the galley is loaded, so the drawer you open first holds what you serve first.

About the airportVARK / RAJ

Airport catering at Rajkot Airport (VARK)

VARK is Rajkot's gateway for business and family flights across Gujarat. The field is small, the apron is calm, and general aviation traffic comes and goes with festivals and weddings. Airport catering is built around that calendar.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a big phrase for Rajkot, but the field does carry steady general aviation: industrialists, wedding parties and pilgrims. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are chiefly Gujarati vegetarian, aviation catering follows the aircraft, business aviation catering is tied to deal flights, executive jet catering suits owners, diplomatic flight catering is cleared by protocol, and cabin crew meals are boxed apart. FBO services and ground handling services are run through the handling agent.

Customs & food import

India controls food entering and leaving by air: fresh produce, meat and dairy are the items inspectors ask about. For Rajkot international legs, catering is listed on the order and handed to the handling agent, so customs can check sealed boxes against the manifest.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Working around a revised passenger count at Rajkot Airport, I asked for mini sandwiches and individual desserts in portions appropriate for our 8 passengers. With jet catering, careful attention to meal organisation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of main courses with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. The quantities of sandwiches matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“On this departure from VARK, 7 passengers had chosen yoghurt pots and fresh berries, and an evening cabin service needed to be reflected in the order. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the side dishes into shallow trays that were easy to handle. I could hand the canapés to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Service planning came first at RAJ, with 7 passengers choosing herb chicken with a quinoa salad and a family lunch request influencing our preparation. After a final adjustment to the main courses, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The note about the fruit plates was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the charter flight catering arrangements.”

Asked before every VARK slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Rajkot?+

It is priced by menu and tray count, so a party that grows from four to seven adds trays, not a new quote structure. A Rajkot wedding party that swells at the last minute costs more simply because more thepla and khaman boxes are packed.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Rajkot for a return leg ordered for the way back?+

A return from RAJ is simplest when ordered with the inbound flight: the menu is already written, restriction cards are in place, and handover goes through the same FBO.

How do customs affect private jet catering at Rajkot given the departure slot and turnaround length?+

India restricts fresh produce and animal products on arrivals from abroad, so food loaded at Rajkot for an international leg must be declared; food brought in on a flight cannot always be taken back out.

Can you bring food on board a long leg with two services at Rajkot, or must it come from catering?+

Yes in principle, but the aircraft operator decides, and customs may ask about fresh items on international flights. For a leg with two services, ordered meals give you a hot service and a cold service planned together.

Is catering part of a charter into Rajkot, and does the weather window change that?+

No: food sits outside the aircraft price. At Rajkot the monsoon weather window can delay departures, so we ask for the slot and amend it as the schedule moves.
