Aviation catering — Agatti, India
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Agatti (VOAT / AGX)
AGX (IATA) · VOAT (ICAO)
A single narrow-body runway of 1291 metres sets the ceiling here, so every rotation is sequenced rather than run in parallel, and the loading plan is built around one stand at a time. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding to galley height at Agatti, with uplift staged airside for scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements alike.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at VOAT / AGX
The loading window at Agatti is worked stand by stand, not batched, because the single narrow-body position leaves no second slot to fall back on. Ramp access is held on our own badges from the moment the sealed cart leaves the kitchen, and every catering uplift is timed against that one apron movement. Nothing is queued: the cart moves once clearance is confirmed, and the galley door opens on schedule.

Between our kitchen and the single stand at Agatti sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is the risk we plan against, not the food itself. Chain of custody starts at the seal: a temperature log is opened when the cart leaves the galley catering line and closed again at handover, with both readings kept against the same reference. The catering uplift is signed off at the aircraft, not before, so the record runs unbroken from kitchen to cabin. Escort and screening are worked to the same sequence on every rotation, whatever the aircraft type on stand that day.
One stand, one seal, one signature: the record runs unbroken from kitchen to cabin.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Agatti
The flight kitchen that provisions Agatti runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, held to HACCP standard from intake to seal. Airport catering here is built around the single narrow-body stand rather than a bank of them, so the kitchen sequences one rotation at a time instead of staging several in parallel. That discipline is what airport catering at VOAT is actually judged on: not volume, but the cold chain holding intact between one sealed cart and the next.
The team that handles government flight catering at Agatti is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. Household and diplomatic sets are produced on a separate line, sealed before they leave the kitchen, and released only against a matching manifest. Nothing about that catering line is handled differently for a scheduled service and a delegation.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Agatti airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at AGX
From passenger meal boxes to VVIP menus, the Agatti airline catering menu follows the cabin, the mission and the season rather than a fixed cycle. Dishes draw on regional produce where the season allows it, without naming a supplier or a single dish on the standing specification. Inflight catering at VOAT is written to three cabin tiers, each carrying its own tray standard and its own turnaround. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, and labelled before they leave the kitchen.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Agatti: VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. Every course is filed against the standing order before it is loaded, so the same standard repeats on every rotation.

Business cabins
Business cabins in Agatti: multi-choice hot service in oven-ready, galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft on stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in Agatti as separate boxed sets, boxed to the roster rather than the passenger count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets in Agatti: household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, halal and kosher meals produced to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Every SPML set is built on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, ahead of inflight catering loading.

HACCP standards for aviation catering at Agatti
Airside airport catering at Agatti, India
Agatti carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body runway, which turns a delegation into a documentation exercise and a peak arrival into a capacity one worked stand by stand. Aviation catering at AGX runs off one ops desk rather than several, because the single position leaves no room for parallel handling.
Airline catering in Agatti moves from the kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, with ground handling on the apron and airside delivery held to the one loading window the stand allows. In-flight catering in Agatti follows the same route on every rotation, whatever the operator, and inflight catering in India more broadly is planned to the same standard rather than a looser one for smaller fields.
Airport catering in Agatti commits to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts leaving the kitchen against a matching manifest, and a signed handover at the aircraft that closes the record.

“We used the team at Agatti (AGX/VOAT) for AOG catering after an unexpected operational change. Confirmation was quick, the order stayed clear despite several updates, and delivery reached the aircraft on time. We would use them again for another short-notice stop. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

What operations gets asked every week about Agatti.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering cost start at AGX?
Every quotation is built from the record of what is loaded: cabin count, specification and the loading window held for that rotation. We publish no price list, and the desk returns a figure once those three are confirmed.
Is VIP, VVIP and government flight catering handled at VOAT under protocol?
The coordinator assigned to each rotation runs government flight catering and VIP flight catering to the same access-list and sealed-cart procedure, whatever the mission. Protocol paperwork travels with the uplift from kitchen to signature.
Who documents halal, kosher and special meal codes for flights out of Agatti?
For every passenger requiring one, halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes, including SPML, are produced on a separate line and labelled before departure. Across all cabins, the record is matched to the manifest before the cart is sealed.
When is airline catering delivered airside at Agatti?
When ramp clearance is confirmed for the stand in use, the sealed cart moves by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than to the foot of the aircraft. As soon as the handover is signed, airside delivery for that rotation is closed out.
