Aviation catering — Allahabad, India
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Allahabad (VEAB / IXD)
IXD (IATA) · VEAB (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the aircraft mix at Allahabad, and that mix decides the rotation: one stand cycle, one loading sequence, no slack for a second wave. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering off that constraint, boarding by hi-loader to galley height so every uplift clears the aircraft directly rather than waiting at the foot of it.

Aircraft catering lead times at Allahabad (IXD)
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at VEAB
Ramp access sets the pace of every catering uplift worked at Allahabad: the cart leaves our kitchen sealed, crosses the apron under escort, and reaches the galley door on the same clock every time. Nothing here is estimated after the fact; each stage of the loading window is timed as it happens, not reconstructed from a delivery note. That discipline holds whether the rotation is a single narrow-body turn or a rotation staged behind it on the same stand.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Allahabad sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is where a catering uplift is actually put at risk, not the galley catering itself. We plan the route against the busiest slot on the field, build in the time a checkpoint can add, and never let a delay at the gate become a delay at the aircraft door.
Every seal is logged when it closes at the kitchen and checked again when it opens at the aircraft, with the temperature read at both ends and recorded against the same reference. That chain of custody is signed off stand-side, so the load that leaves our galley is the load the crew signs for.
One sealed cart, one route, one signature: the window is measured, never assumed.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Allahabad, India
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Allahabad airport
Airport catering at Allahabad runs from a single production line built to cover hot service, cold assembly and a dedicated protocol cell under one roof, so a scheduled turn and a government movement never compete for the same bench. Every batch that leaves that line is worked to HACCP procedure from receipt to seal, with the cold chain checked at each handover rather than assumed between them. That structure is what lets airport catering here scale from a routine rotation to an uplift that needs its own line without notice.
The team that handles government flight catering at Allahabad is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, kept on the access list, and trained to the household standard the assignment calls for. Nothing about who touches a sealed uplift changes between one movement and the next. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is answered before the question is asked, on catering at VEAB.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at VEAB / IXD
VVIP catering to a written specification at Allahabad (IXD)
Menus at Allahabad follow the cabin and the mission rather than a fixed cycle, adapted to seasonal produce from the surrounding region wherever the flight plan allows it, and to the shorter window a narrow-body rotation sets against preparation. A VIP flight menu is plated to a written specification; a charter flight menu is built for volume and consistency across a full cabin. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger rather than issued on trust. Inflight catering in Allahabad is written this way regardless of the size of the operator placing the order.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Allahabad are worked to a written specification rather than a fixed cycle, with plated presentation and à-la-carte service available on request for the movements that call for it. VIP flight catering here is filed against that standing order, so the same standard repeats on every rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins run on multi-choice hot service, boxed to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft using it at IXD. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from the passenger load and boarded on the same cart run as the crew meals at VEAB.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements are documented per passenger before they reach the tray: halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes, produced on a line kept apart from the main run and sealed before it leaves it. Inflight catering at Allahabad carries that documentation through to handover, not just to the kitchen door.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at IXD
Two runways and a narrow-body reference code set the traffic profile Allahabad works to: scheduled turns, ad hoc movements and government flights sharing the same short cycle rather than a wide-body wave with hours of slack. A delegation on that cycle is a documentation problem before it is a volume one, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem — the same cart, the same seal, the same signature, every time it lands.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed, crosses the apron under escort, and boards by hi-loader to the galley door at whichever stand the rotation is worked from, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Allahabad run off one ops desk rather than three separate ones.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, and airport catering in Allahabad closes on that same handover every time, whatever the aircraft on the stand.
Charter flight catering and state missions at Allahabad airport
01
Government and state flight catering at VEAB
Our kitchen holds a 2472 m runway within reach for narrow-body government movements, and treats every one of them under the same protocol file. Government flight catering at Allahabad covers state visits and official delegations, with security-cleared staff, a head of state aircraft handled on the same sealed-uplift procedure as any other rotation, and documentation carried per passenger rather than per flight.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at IXD
A 2472 m runway governs what a private airliner can bring into Allahabad, and royal flight catering here is built around that limit rather than around a fixed aircraft type. Household standards are held on a written specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and other royal household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Allahabad
A narrow-body reference code is what Allahabad's stands are built to serve, and charter flight catering here is planned around aircraft of that class rather than assumed to scale up. ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions are boarded to a full cabin count, counted against the loading sheet, with charter flight catering staged in the order the galleys are laid out.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at VEAB
A 2472 m runway keeps Allahabad within narrow-body operating limits, so ad hoc airline catering here is built around one aircraft class rather than a mixed wide-body programme. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the same duty roster, with AOG covered and a multi-leg rotation carried on one specification rather than reissued at every stop.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at IXD
Within the narrow-body limits Allahabad's stands are built to, business aviation is worked through our dedicated private jet catering branch, delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal rather than staged on a commercial stand. FBO catering here runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, wherever it lands in India.

“We requested galley ready meals at Allahabad (IXD/VEAB) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Good attention to the operational side of catering. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Abdullah — Executive Charter Coordinator
“We used the team for tech stop at Allahabad (IXD/VEAB) during a tight turnaround. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Tom — Operations Desk Manager
“I ordered private jet menu for our departure from Allahabad (IXD/VEAB) and was very happy with the service. They followed my notes closely, kept me updated, and delivered at the time agreed with the FBO. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at VEAB / IXD
Crew meals, lead times and access at VEAB / IXD
What operations gets asked every week about Allahabad.
Ask operations directly →How far in advance does an order need to be placed for IXD, and how late can the specification change?
IXD works to a lead time set by the loading window rather than a fixed calendar date, so how far in advance you confirm depends on cabin count and specification; last minute airline catering changes are taken up to the point the cart seals, not after.
Under what protocol do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights through VEAB?
There is a standing protocol file for every movement of that kind: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run on security-cleared staff, a fixed access list and documentation carried per passenger rather than per flight.
How far does airline catering delivery reach into the ramp at Allahabad, and how does the uplift get aboard?
The standard is the same for every stand worked at the field: airside delivery runs by hi-loader to galley height, so airline catering boards directly rather than being left at the foot of the aircraft.
Allahabad Airport — how much does airline catering cost, and what does a quotation depend on?
The hi-loader and the cart set the method, not the price; airline catering cost here depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window, and the desk comes back with a quotation rather than a published rate.
Can halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes be produced for flights through IXD?
The full range of special meal codes, SPML included, is produced on request: halal and kosher sets are documented per passenger and boarded on a line kept separate from the main run.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at VEAB?
Yes, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering delivered to whichever FBO or the GA terminal the movement is based at.
