Aviation catering — Chandigarh, India
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Chandigarh (VICG / IXC)
IXC (IATA) · VICG (ICAO)
Sequencing a wide-body cabin off a single runway means the loading plan absorbs every rotation change without a second stand to fall back on, so timing runs off one desk rather than several. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering and in-flight catering at Chandigarh through hi-loader boarding to galley height, with the uplift staged from the kitchen and sequenced onto the wide-body stand for scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements.

On the apron — Chandigarh
Commercial aviation catering at wide-body scale, VICG
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at Chandigarh airport
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at IXC
Ramp access at Chandigarh is planned before the cart leaves the kitchen, because the single runway leaves no second routing if a slot shifts. Each catering uplift is sealed, logged and staged against the loading sheet before it crosses the apron to the wide-body stand. The window is held from that seal to the signature at the galley door, not estimated from an average.
Between our kitchen and the stand at VICG sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic that a single-runway field concentrates into one routing rather than several. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that sequence, not the average of it, so a delay upstream does not become a delay at the galley door.
Chain of custody runs on paper as much as on temperature: the cart is sealed at the kitchen, logged at the checkpoint, and escorted to the stand under one named responsibility for the whole route. Galley catering is handed over against a signature, and the temperature log closes at both ends, sealing and handover alike, before the loading sheet is marked complete.
One seal, one route, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Chandigarh (IXC)
Airline food supplier crews cleared for VICG
With a single runway carrying every movement through Chandigarh, our flight kitchen plans production against one shared arrival sequence rather than several parallel banks. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, feeding airport catering at Chandigarh without the uplift ever leaving a controlled chain between the two. Airport catering in Chandigarh runs to HACCP as its standard, checked at each stage from the larder to the loading dock.
Wide-body rotations at IXC are worked by the same named production and loading team, not a rotating pool, so the protocol file travels with people who already know the stand. Government flight catering at Chandigarh is handled by staff carrying security clearance, listed on the access roster, and trained to the household and protocol standards a state or royal movement requires. Every one of them signs the handover that closes the chain of custody at the galley door.
VIP flight catering menus for Chandigarh, India departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Chandigarh airport
Menus at Chandigarh are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle, and inflight catering here draws on regional produce described in general terms rather than a fixed dish list. First and Business are planned separately from the main cabin, with the specification carried on paper from the kitchen to the galley door. A charter flight menu or a VIP flight menu is built the same way, adjusted for the length of the sector and the number of courses the mission calls for. Documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are produced against that same specification, labelled per passenger and per cabin before they leave the kitchen.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Chandigarh are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed cycle, with à-la-carte service and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so the presentation can be repeated on the next rotation without redrafting it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at VICG take multi-choice hot service built to the aircraft's own galley fitting, boxed as tray sets sized to the specification on file. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger load and matched to the roster for the sector.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for every uplift at IXC, with halal and kosher sets produced against the full IATA special meal code list. Inflight catering in India is produced on a separate line here and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so the dietary set never shares a cart with the standard load.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Chandigarh
A single runway at Chandigarh carries scheduled, charter and government traffic through one wide-body stand, so a delegation arrives as a documentation task and a charter wave arrives as a capacity task on the same ramp rather than two separate ones. Airline catering at IXC is planned against that shared sequence rather than a bank of parallel slots, which keeps a repeat rotation working to the same loading sheet each time it returns.
The uplift leaves our flight kitchen sealed and travels a fixed route to the stand, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the apron hands the cart across under escort, and in-flight catering in Chandigarh is logged at the checkpoint before it crosses to the wide-body stand. Aviation catering in India runs through that same route regardless of the operator, and airport catering at VICG is coordinated from one ops desk so the handover at the stand is never improvised.
One coordinator carries the rotation from kitchen seal to stand signature, with a signed handover closing the chain of custody at the galley door.
Charter flight catering and state missions at VICG
01
Government and state flight catering at VICG
Our kitchen boards a head of state aircraft at Chandigarh under the same wide-body reference code as a scheduled rotation, with nothing in the loading sequence marking the flight as different from the ramp. Government flight catering runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed at the kitchen before it crosses the apron.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at IXC
A 3800 metre runway takes the private airliners a royal or VVIP movement typically flies, whether a BBJ, an ACJ or a wide-body VIP configuration, without a length restriction shaping the rotation. Royal flight catering at Chandigarh is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against it on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Chandigarh
A wide-body operating under ACMI or wet-lease arrangements boards at Chandigarh on the same reference code as any scheduled movement, which keeps a group charter or a special mission on the identical loading standard. Charter flight catering here runs a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering for a multi-leg tour or a repatriation movement is staged in the same galley order each time it returns.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at VICG
A 3800 metre runway keeps wide-body movements landing on schedule, which is what turns Chandigarh into a viable outstation for a carrier's rotation rather than a diversion risk only. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG included across a multi-leg rotation, and crew meals in India boxed to the same roster whether the sector is scheduled or ad hoc.

Private jet and FBO catering at IXC
Across the wide-body stand and the general aviation apron at Chandigarh, the same reference code that clears an airliner also clears the aircraft using the GA terminal. Private jet catering here is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal by our dedicated business aviation catering branch, on the same cold chain and FBO catering paperwork as a business jet catering uplift for a scheduled carrier.

“We requested HACCP at Chandigarh (IXC/VICG) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Javier — Flight Operations Specialist
“For a changing schedule at Chandigarh (IXC/VICG), we needed flexible outstation. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Max — Cargo Dispatch Coordinator
“For our business jet at Chandigarh (IXC/VICG), I arranged private jet catering with a few passenger-specific requests. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at Chandigarh, India
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Chandigarh, India
What operations gets asked every week about Chandigarh.
Ask operations directly →Do you publish airline catering cost at VICG?
Yes, by quotation only: a specification is priced against cabin count, menu complexity and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a figure once those are set.
Can Chandigarh handle VIP, VVIP and government flights under protocol?
Every VIP flight catering and government flight catering order at this station runs on a documented protocol file, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift from kitchen to stand.
With one runway carrying every movement, does Chandigarh Airport take airline catering airside?
There is a fixed airside delivery route from our flight kitchen to the wide-body stand, with the uplift boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.
What halal, kosher and special meal sets are produced at IXC?
We produce halal and kosher sets and the full IATA SPML list on a separate line, documented per passenger before sealing.
Which lead time applies for an order into VICG, and how far in advance is it needed?
The loading sheet fixes the cart and route once confirmed, and a specification can still change closer to departure than a first booking, though last minute airline catering is worked against whatever window remains before the hi-loader is due at the stand.
How does Chandigarh receive private jet catering at the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Chandigarh's general aviation traffic is served by the same branch that handles the airline side, delivering FBO catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on one cold chain.
