Catering to your aircraft in Visakhapatnam.
A coastal Andhra airport with spice on every plate: VOVZ asks for catering that survives humidity and a small oven. We pack it, label it and deliver it to the aircraft via 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.
Andhra Pradesh is one of India's great culinary regions, and the private jet menu we build at Visakhapatnam draws on it directly. Our inflight menu starts with the coast: Bay of Bengal prawns, pomfret and seer fish, cooked in the Andhra way with tamarind, curry leaf and red chilli. Private jet food from this region is robust and aromatic, so we pack gravies and sauces in their own containers and plate rice separately.
Local specialities here include pulusu, a tangy tamarind fish stew, and gongura, the sour sorrel leaf that Andhra cooks use in chutneys and meat dishes. Because heat levels run high in Andhra Pradesh, we ask how much spice each guest wants and cook mild versions on request. Fruit comes from the region too: mango in season, coconut, and sweet bananas from the coastal belt.

Visakhapatnam International sits at 15 ft above sea level on the Bay of Bengal, where humid air and monsoon squalls shape every galley brief; private jet catering for VOVZ is packed for that climate and handed to the aircraft through your FBO. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here lean on Andhra produce, and business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same plane-side routine, with cabin crew meals ordered alongside.
Business jet catering at Visakhapatnam usually serves executives heading for the port, steel and pharma centres of Andhra Pradesh. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here favour a private jet chef who can adapt spice levels; charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same bespoke menu approach, written around your galley.
When a minister or official party lands at VOVZ, government flight catering follows protocol: head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are packed sealed with ingredient lists, and VIP aviation catering orders stay discreet.
Andhra kitchens use wheat, ghee, mustard and peanut oil freely, so a gluten free, vegan or allergen free guest needs a cook who knows where these hide. We prepare kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals as separate procedures, with special meals boxed apart and marked by seat number, not name.
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.
Between a monsoon delay and an early departure, your crew at VTZ still needs to eat. Crew meals are on request and invoiced with the order; flight crew meals and pilot meals travel in marked boxes. Our crew catering covers cockpit meals that suit the flight deck, crew meal boxes that hold their temperature, and different meals for pilots, so captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals ride in the same delivery.
FBO catering at Visakhapatnam is handed over at the general aviation terminal or straight to the aircraft on your slot. We handle ground handling catering with your handling agent, who confirms access and ramp positioning; handling agent catering coordination and catering delivery to the FBO stay in one chain.
Visakhapatnam handles both light business jets and larger VIP aircraft, and the aircraft type decides how food is loaded. For a wide-body or large cabin jet, galley catering goes up by high loader; for a small jet it is carried up the stairs. Airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent and the ground crew for aircraft provisioning, so the trolleys reach the right door.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Visakhapatnam International serves the Andhra Pradesh port city and its industrial belt, a growing stop for general aviation. Airport catering here suits business flights that need local food in a hurry.
The coast's business traffic peaks in dry months, and cyclone season can close slots. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering plans account for that, as do inflight catering, in-flight catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals. Ground handling services and FBO services make Visakhapatnam a workable business aviation hub within general aviation.
India enforces food import rules at customs, so foreign meats, cheeses and alcohol need declaring on arrival. We keep menus on local Andhra ingredients where possible and give your handling agent the ingredient list.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Packing vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 2 passengers at VOVZ needed careful thought, especially given different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls grouped the starters by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. For private jet menu, that attention to portion planning made the order noticeably easier to manage. The canapés were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”
“An order of a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 10 people at VTZ had to be organised around different crew meal preferences. I want a private jet chef to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The sandwiches supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. We could distinguish the breakfast portions at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”
“With several individual meal preferences to consider at Visakhapatnam International Airport, we needed a practical way to serve mini sandwiches and individual desserts to 4 passengers. For in flight catering, that attention to written menu details made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the sauces, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. Knowing where the side dishes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
Seasonal mango, premium prawns or a mutton biryani each change the total. The access your handling agent can give us at VOVZ also matters. Phone or email the aircraft type and menu, and we return a clear quote.
The lead time here depends on customs. Anything local to Andhra Pradesh avoids import paperwork, so those menus are straightforward; imported cheeses or wines need declaring. We still take last-minute orders for Visakhapatnam.
Government flights bring extra checks: sealed trays, an ingredient list and a named handover person. Customs in India treat imported food strictly, so we build around Andhra produce.
Yes, within customs rules. Still, at an early morning slot at Visakhapatnam, hot breakfast boxes arrive at the aircraft ready to re-plate, which beats carrying cold food through the terminal.
No. Catering is not part of the charter; you order it separately and it is billed on its own order. Many crews start with one Andhra dish, like gongura chicken, and build the rest of the menu around it.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
