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

Vadodara on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at BDQ

Gujarat decides what a private jet menu looks like when it leaves Vadodara. The state is strongly vegetarian, so the inflight menu leans on dishes that survive a drawer: thepla, khakhra, dhokla, handvo, undhiyu in winter, and farsan that stays crisp. Sev usal is the Vadodara dish most guests ask for, with the sev packed apart. Private jet food for Jain passengers means no onion, no garlic, no root vegetables, and we write it on the lid by seat. These local specialities are cooked in Vadodara and sent as gourmet inflight meals, finished in your oven or served cold. In mango season Kesar mango goes on the platter, and basundi or mohanthal close the meal. Tell us the guests and we build the table from there.

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

Gujarat is largely vegetarian, and Vadodara International Airport sees that on every galley list: Jain requests, no onion or garlic, dairy-led dishes. Private jet catering at VABO starts from that table. For inflight catering and in-flight catering we cook for your aircraft's galley, and business aviation catering reaches your handling agent at the FBO. Executive jet catering, aviation catering and diplomatic flight catering orders are packed the same way, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Vadodara International Airport (VABO)

We cook Jain dishes without onion, garlic or root vegetables, seal each in its own box, and mark the seat. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals follow the same route: own board, own box, a card for the crew. Send the restriction with the order and we tell you what Gujarati cooking can do safely.

i.
Allergens

A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

ii.
Halal & kosher

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Timing and organisation mattered at BDQ, where our order of herb chicken with a quinoa salad for 6 people involved limited fridge space. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the crew provisions, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of side dishes matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Packing a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 3 passengers at Vadodara International Airport needed careful thought, especially given a revised passenger count. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the sandwiches to arrive in separate meal boxes. I could hand the salads to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about storage requirements.”
Isabella D. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“Several practical details needed attention at VABO, with vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection requested for 12 guests and several individual meal preferences to accommodate. The Galley Girls labelled the desserts in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. For our team, the strongest part of their private jet catering menu was how they handled written menu details. We could distinguish the breakfast portions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

What crews ask before VadodaraAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a short repositioning flight into Vadodara?+

Nobody flies this leg for the food, so keep it light. Crew meals and a simple platter keep private jet catering cost low; a full Gujarat menu for guests raises it. We price each menu on its own, not by airport.

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

Ordering is simple here when you know your galley: oven count, drawer space, chiller. Share that with the trip details and we plan. Last-minute requests into Vadodara are handled.

What are the customs rules for catering and special meals into Vadodara?+

Food that arrives with the aircraft from abroad is treated under Indian import rules, and meat, dairy and fresh produce brought in can be held or discarded. Our meals are cooked locally, so a kosher or halal request is sealed here, not imported. Ask us about your special meals before you fly.

Can you bring food from abroad onto a private jet at Vadodara?+

Technically you can carry food, but airside access and customs both have a say. Ask your handling agent first. If you order from us, the handover is planned with the agent and made at the aircraft.

Is catering part of a charter into Vadodara?+

No. Catering is not part of a charter: you order it separately and it is invoiced on its own, like any order. Tell us the tail and the slot, and we cook locally so customs and import rules stay out of the way.
