Aviation catering — Aurangabad, India
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Aurangabad (VAAU / IXU)
IXU (IATA) · VAAU (ICAO)
Aurangabad is held to the narrow-body reference code, and that code sets the loading plan for every rotation on its stands. Hi-loader boarding lifts the uplift straight to galley height for wide-body-style multi-class service, so inflight catering, in-flight catering and every aviation catering movement here starts on the ramp, not at the foot of the aircraft.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at VAAU
The catering uplift at Aurangabad moves on ramp access held under our own badges, from the sealed cart at the kitchen to the galley door on the apron. Every stage is logged rather than assumed, because the narrow-body reference code that governs this station leaves no room to improvise a route across the apron. What reaches the aircraft here has already been checked once at the kitchen and once again at the stand.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Aurangabad sit screening, an escort through airside, and the ordinary traffic of the apron: the convoy is the risk in any catering uplift, never the food packed inside it. We plan the route against the worst of those three, so a delay at the checkpoint does not become a delay at the galley. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, and a chain of custody runs the whole distance: one name signs the galley catering over, one name receives it, and both records travel with the aircraft.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature at the galley door.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Aurangabad airport
The flight kitchen behind Aurangabad runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to serve the narrow-body reference code that sets this field's stands and its loading plan. That single-roof layout is what lets airport catering here move from oven to sealed cart without a second handling point, and it is why airport catering at IXU can absorb a delegation and a scheduled rotation on the same shift. Every tray leaving the building runs to HACCP procedure before it reaches the hi-loader.
The team behind government flight catering at Aurangabad is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the household standards a protocol officer expects before a delegation lands. That continuity is what a royal household or a state desk checks first, well before the menu. Nothing about the crew changes between a scheduled turnaround and a sealed VVIP load.
Halal airline meals and special meals at VAAU / IXU
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Aurangabad (IXU)
Menus at Aurangabad are written to the cabin and the mission, drawing on produce from the wider Aurangabad region — dairy, orchard fruit, regional grain — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. The VIP flight menu and the charter flight menu both start from that same regional base, then diverge by cabin count and by protocol. Inflight catering here is documented before it is cooked: allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are labelled per passenger and per cabin, not batched. That labelling is what lets one kitchen serve a scheduled sector and a sealed VVIP load from the same shift without either file touching the other.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Aurangabad are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and tray-plated service both held on file between rotations. VIP flight catering here is filed against that same standing order, so a repeat mission is served to the identical plate on every leg through IXU.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Aurangabad run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals at VAAU never share a tray with the passenger service.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at IXU are documented per passenger: household and religious sets, halal and kosher meals, and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Each is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, which is how inflight catering here keeps a medical or religious meal apart from the main service.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at IXU
Aurangabad works to the narrow-body reference code that sets its stands, and that single figure decides how the catering plan is built: a delegation on this stand is a documentation exercise, a peak wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat rotation is a repetition exercise, all worked against the same one reference figure. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here run off one ops desk rather than three separate ones, because the stand count leaves no room for parallel routing.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, moved from the kitchen to the stand under ramp access held on our own badges rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering at VAAU is planned stand by stand, with the loading crew and the escort drawn from the same named roster every time.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, whatever the mission on the loading sheet.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Aurangabad airport
01
Government and state flight catering at IXU
At Aurangabad, the same narrow-body reference code that sets the stands also sets the loading sequence for a head of state movement, since there is no second stand to fall back on if the plan slips. Government flight catering here runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Aurangabad
Sequencing a royal or VVIP load around Aurangabad's narrow-body reference code means working to one stand's worth of ramp time rather than a wide-body apron's worth. Royal flight catering here holds a written household specification on file between movements, covering private airliners such as BBJ and ACJ, with halal and household requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at VAAU
Narrow-body reference code, one implication: charter and ACMI movements through Aurangabad are staged to fit that single stand's loading window rather than a wide-body apron's.

“For a government operation through Aurangabad (IXU/VAAU), we required discreet presidential flight catering. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. We were very satisfied with the level of coordination. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Vera — Outstation Manager
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Aurangabad (IXU/VAAU) and booked ACJ catering for the sector. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Andrei — Executive Aviation Coordinator
“We arranged hajj charter catering for a group movement through Aurangabad (IXU/VAAU). The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. A dependable choice for group charter operations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Ask operations directly →How much does airline catering cost at VAAU?

Aurangabad — do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The hi-loader that lifts every uplift to galley height at this station carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering under the same protocol file: security-cleared staff, documentation per passenger, and a sealed load before it leaves the kitchen.
Given the single stand this station is held to, do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Aurangabad Airport?
There is a dedicated business aviation branch that reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering delivered on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Do you produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at IXU?
Yes, produced on a separate line and sealed before dispatch: halal and kosher sets, plus the full range of SPML codes, documented per passenger and per cabin.
