Catering to your aircraft in Silchar.
A short runway at 352 ft in Assam's Barak Valley, where monsoon cloud moves departures around. We prepare food that holds up to a delay and bring it to your aircraft through your handling agent.
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.
Silchar sits in the Barak Valley of southern Assam, a Bengali-speaking pocket with its own table, and the private jet menu we build here follows it. Fish is the centre: hilsa and rohu, steamed in mustard paste or cooked as a light jhol, travel better than most people expect if the bones are handled before packing. Private jet food from this region leans on rice, lentils, gourd and seasonal greens, so the inflight menu rarely needs heavy cream or pastry.
These local specialities reach the galley as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks. Bamboo shoot, pitha and Manipuri eromba come from the hill communities that share the valley and suit a cold plate for a short onward sector. Sauces and gravies travel in their own pots; rice is packed apart and re-plated. For {Region} guests we keep spice adjustable, since a passenger from the valley and one from a Delhi head office rarely agree on heat.

Silchar's single runway sits at 352 ft in the wet green floor of Assam's Barak Valley, and monsoon cloud decides more bookings here than any passenger list does. Private jet catering at VEKU is built around that: food that keeps through a rain-delayed departure, packed for the galley you actually have. We run inflight catering and in-flight catering for business aviation catering and executive jet catering clients, plus diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals on request, as aviation catering handed over at the FBO.
Charter flight catering into VEKU is often a short sector with a tight turn, so the dishes are chosen to survive it. A private jet chef builds a bespoke menu: corporate jet catering for a delegation of four, VIP flight catering for a single principal, luxury inflight catering for a longer onward leg. Business jet catering is packed to the aircraft's oven and drawers.
When a ministerial or delegation aircraft lands at IXS, the menu is reviewed by protocol before anything is cooked. Government flight catering stays discreet, and head of state flight catering uses sealed packaging from kitchen to cabin. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are coordinated with your handling agent, with no names on labels, only seat numbers.
Silchar cooking runs on mustard oil, fermented bamboo shoot and shared frying pans, so special meals here are a matter of tracing where allergens hide, not just reading an ingredient list. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are cooked on separate boards and packed in their own boxes. Allergen free orders also get separate pots, and kids meals are marked and kept mild. Rice and lentil dishes make gluten free simple in this valley; the real risks are soy-based sauces and shared fryer oil. Give us the restriction and the seat number, and the plan is settled before anything is cooked.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Pilots on a Silchar rotation want food that can be eaten with one hand while the aircraft waits for weather. We provide flight crew meals and crew catering on request, billed with the order. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are boxed apart from the cabin trays; crew meal boxes carry the CREW label, and different meals for pilots are prepared when the captain and first officer should not share a dish.
FBO catering at Silchar means the boxes go to your FBO or the general aviation terminal, where your handling agent takes them airside. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged around your slot, and ground handling catering is coordinated so the vehicle and the pass match. Handling agent catering is simply one call with the right details.
Silchar Airport handles smaller business jets and turboprops far more often than wide-bodies, so galley catering here is sized to a light or midsize cabin. If a larger aircraft arrives for a delegation, tell us the type and we plan the airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning around its door height and loading method, with a high loader arranged through your handling agent where the aircraft needs one. Trolleys, thermal boxes and drawer inserts are matched to the galley you actually have.

VEKU is a regional airfield rather than a business aviation hub, but private flights do land here for the valley's tea, trade and government visits. Airport catering follows the same method as anywhere: ground handling services arrange access, general aviation is served at the terminal, and FBO services remain simple and on request.
Business aviation at Silchar leans on the Barak Valley's trade and government travel. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for these flights is simple and local. Aviation catering for corporate groups, executive jet catering for owner trips, diplomatic flight catering for official visits and cabin crew meals for the rotation all follow the same order through the FBO, as business aviation catering at its most practical.
India controls the import of food and animal products, and Silchar's customs arrangements are limited, so international movements are coordinated through your handling agent. For domestic Assam sectors, local catering loads freely; for international sectors, we advise on the destination's rules and pack sealed, labelled items.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Passenger preferences led us to poached fish with steamed rice at IXS; 8 portions were needed, with a tight boarding window factored into preparation. This experience of inflight catering services gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. The Galley Girls prepared the starters for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. Keeping the canapés aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“Between cabin checks at Silchar Airport, I coordinated grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 10 guests and explained our concerns about an evening cabin service. The fruit plates from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling. I want an inflight catering company to understand written menu details, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“A request for a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables, 6 passengers, and several individual meal preferences: that was our brief for the departure at VEKU. The breakfast portions supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. Keeping the fruit plates identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at crew briefing after this experience.”
A single allergen request can reshape an order: separate board, separate pots, labelled box. That work is part of the price, so how much private jet catering costs at VEKU depends on how many restricted plates sit among the standard ones. Seasonal fish moves the total more than any garnish does; tell us who is flying and we quote the real order.
A good lead time at Silchar means the handling agent already knows a catering vehicle is coming. We send them the details, they sort the airside access, and the food is kept to your departure slot. Short-notice requests are fine; they simply lean harder on the agent's access arrangements.
For an international sector from Silchar, check the destination's food rules before choosing the menu. Fish, dairy and meat have the tightest restrictions. We label every box, keep ingredients traceable and work with your handling agent on declarations, so customs sees clear paperwork rather than guesswork.
For a government or delegation flight, food brought from elsewhere often has to be re-examined at Silchar. Ordering here keeps provenance clear: we cook locally, seal the boxes and record what is inside. If your protocol office wants to review the menu first, send it over and we adjust.
Many first-time charter clients assume catering is bundled. It is not: a private jet charter into IXS covers flying, and meals are a separate order. Night and early slots are fine, because we are reachable day or night and coordinate with your FBO for the handover.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
