Catering to your aircraft in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat flies vegetarian, and Ahmedabad's business aviation traffic shows it: Jain requests, thali service and dry farsan are the norm on this ramp. We cook and pack for the crew who serve it, and hand over at your FBO.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Ahmedabad sits in Gujarat, and the private jet menu here is a vegetarian one by default. The inflight menu that works at this airport leans on thali components packed separately: dal, kadhi, two sabzis, rotli and rice, each in its own container so the crew can re-plate in the galley. Private jet food from Gujarat also means farsan: dhokla, khandvi, thepla and khakhra travel well, hold at room temperature and suit a cold drawer.
Local specialities matter here because guests ask for them by name. Undhiyu is a winter dish and only makes sense in season, when surti papdi and fresh green garlic are in the market; in summer we steer toward kachori, handvo and cold shrikhand. Jain versions drop root vegetables and are cooked apart. For Ahmedabad private jet food, sweets such as mohanthal and basundi are packed chilled and re-plated cold, with chai masala sent in a sealed pot for the crew.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Most guests boarding at Ahmedabad eat vegetarian, and a large share follow Jain rules that exclude onion, garlic and root vegetables, so private jet catering at VAAH starts from that kitchen rather than a Western menu with a vegetarian option bolted on. Whether it is inflight catering for a textile or pharma delegation, in-flight catering for a family charter to Mumbai, or aviation catering for a wedding party from Gujarat, we pack for the galley you actually have. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders carry seat numbers and restriction cards, diplomatic flight catering follows the protocol office, and cabin crew meals are ordered separately and invoiced like the rest.
For a business jet out of Ahmedabad, the brief is usually clear: vegetarian, often Jain, nothing alcoholic. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here mean a bespoke menu built around Gujarati dishes, cooked by a private jet chef and packed for your galley. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same line, with luxury inflight catering reserved for guests who ask for it.
A delegation flight to AMD starts with the protocol list, not the kitchen. We handle government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering with a small named team, sealed dishes and a trace for each. State visit aircraft catering is cleared before the order is cooked.
At Ahmedabad the common special meals are Jain, satvik, vegan, gluten free and egg free; kosher and halal come up with international charters. The local bread is wheat rotli and thepla, so a gluten free guest gets millet or rice-based alternatives cooked on separate equipment. Allergen free and kids meals are boxed, sealed and marked by seat so no tray is opened by mistake.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At VAAH the crew side of the order is a line of its own: crew catering is requested with the trip, and flight crew meals are invoiced like the rest. Cockpit meals are packed for one hand and a tight cockpit, no loose lids, nothing that needs a table. If the captain and first officer follow different diets, say so and we write different meals for pilots on the box, by role. Gujarat leans vegetarian, so ask early if the crew wants chicken or fish. Pilot meals and the cabin team's dishes travel as separate crew meal boxes, each marked CREW, so nobody opens a passenger tray by mistake.
FBO catering at Ahmedabad is handed over at the FBO or to your handling agent on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO goes through the general aviation terminal, and ground handling catering is coordinated with the handling agent so the vehicle gets through. Handling agent catering stays on your slot, not ours.
Aircraft type decides the loading at Ahmedabad. A large-cabin jet with a high galley door needs the high loader and the handling agent's airside access; a light jet is carried up the steps. Galley catering is packed to the oven count of the aircraft, and airside catering delivery follows your slot. Aircraft provisioning is confirmed against the type before we pack.

Ahmedabad is Gujarat's main gateway and the first airport of the country in our file. Airport catering here serves general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services for both corporate and charter traffic. The airport has grown as a business aviation hub for western India, and business jets are a regular sight on the apron.
Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are shaped by Gujarat's vegetarian and Jain habits, and aviation catering for AMD follows the same line. Business aviation catering for the textile and pharma trade, executive jet catering for owners, and diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations are all ordered on the ground. Cabin crew meals are a separate request, invoiced like the rest. The winter season, with festivals and wedding charters, is the busy stretch.
India controls food imports, and anything uplifted at Ahmedabad is checked by customs through your handling agent. Meat, dairy and fresh produce brought from abroad can be seized, so we cook and seal locally and supply a dish list the agent can show at the gate. Alcohol is not part of the picture in Gujarat.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Despite a late menu amendment, we wanted the 11 guests at AMD to enjoy roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings without a complicated cabin service. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the snack boxes, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the canapés before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
“With limited fridge space to consider at Sardar Vallabh Patel International Airport, we needed a practical way to serve poached fish with steamed rice to 4 passengers. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the sandwiches could be arranged during service. It made a difference to have the starters ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the in-flight catering services arrangements.”
“Nothing about the 5 guest order at VAAH called for excess complexity: just mushroom risotto and a green salad and sensible planning for a late menu amendment. The breakfast portions came from The Galley Girls in sealed meal containers, with a packing list that matched the contents. We placed the desserts in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes. This experience of aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure.”
What does the galley allow? That question comes before cost. Tell us the aircraft and we match the menu to its oven, chiller and storage, then give you a figure for private jet catering at VAAH.
Allergen and religious meals carry the longest lead time. For a child's meal or a strict diet at VAAH, give us the restriction and seat number first. Last-minute orders are handled, and we label each box by seat.
The handling agent is your contact for customs at Ahmedabad. They arrange airside passes and inspection, and we supply packed, sealed and labelled boxes with the dish list so nothing is opened more than once.
Customs and food-import rules in India decide it. Bringing fruit, meat or dairy into the country on a jet can mean seizure at VAAH. Uplifting food that was cooked and sealed here is the safer route.
Not part of the charter. A delegation flight to Ahmedabad still orders food separately, usually with a protocol-cleared menu and a named team. We send the confirmation and invoice on its own.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
