Aviation catering — Chipi, India
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Chipi (VOSR / SDW)
SDW (IATA) · VOSR (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code at Chipi means the ramp is built for full-scale aircraft provisioning, and it is what shapes every uplift booked through this station. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off that same stand, boarding wide-body cabins by hi-loader to galley height rather than handing trolleys up from the tarmac.

Inflight catering at wide-body scale for Chipi (SDW)
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Chipi (SDW)
Ramp access is what the loading window at Chipi is built on, not a delivery to the foot of the aircraft. Our sealed cart moves from the flight kitchen across the apron under escort, then transfers by hi-loader straight to the galley door of the wide-body stand. Nothing about that sequence is estimated: each stage is logged, and the catering uplift is timed exactly as the timeline beside this note records it.

The convoy is the risk at Chipi, not the food, and that is what this note is built around. Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand sit airside screening, an escort through the apron traffic, and the queue for ramp access itself, and every one of those stages is planned against its worst case rather than its average. Chain of custody runs on a single named coordinator per rotation: temperatures are logged at sealing and again at the galley catering handover, and a signature closes the load before the hi-loader clears the stand.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: the load never leaves anonymous hands.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for VOSR / SDW

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Chipi, India
Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line run under one roof for the wide-body reference code held at Chipi, which is what lets airport catering here move at the pace a full-cabin rotation demands. Airport catering at VOSR is built to HACCP standard across every one of those lines, so a scheduled sector and a government movement leave the same kitchen under the same discipline. Flight kitchen output at SDW is staged by cabin before it ever reaches the cart, which is what keeps the cold chain intact from sealing to boarding.
Government flight catering at Chipi is worked by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access to the kitchen's protocol line is limited to that list, and training runs to household service standards rather than a general induction. That continuity is what lets a repeat delegation movement through SDW draw on staff who already know its paperwork.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at SDW
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at VOSR / SDW
Menus at Chipi are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a single fixed cycle, so a scheduled sector and a state movement leave the same kitchen carrying different specifications. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce in general terms, dairy, orchard fruit and fish sourced within India, without naming a single supplier or dish. Seasonal changes are built into the cycle rather than left to substitution on the day. Every tray carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins boarded at Chipi are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single set menu. VIP flight catering here is signed off against that specification before the hi-loader ever reaches the galley door.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SDW run on multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, tray sets and meal boxes staged by course. Crew meals travel on the same cart: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and matched to the roster in Chipi.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at VOSR are documented per passenger rather than left to a general note on the manifest, covering household, religious and medical sets. Halal and kosher trays and the full range of IATA special meal codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before dispatch, and inflight catering here treats that line as standard, not an exception.

HACCP and sealed transfer for aircraft catering at SDW
Stand-side catering uplift at VOSR
A wide-body reference code at Chipi means the traffic mix runs heavier than a single stand suggests: a scheduled sector, a charter rotation and an occasional government movement can all draw on the same stand in a single day. That mix turns catering into a documentation exercise as much as a kitchen one, since a delegation carries protocol paperwork a routine turnaround does not.
The uplift itself moves from our flight kitchen to the wide-body stand by sealed cart, crossing the apron under escort before transferring by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering at Chipi, in-flight catering at SDW and aviation catering at VOSR all run off that same route, with ramp access held on our own credentials.
What we commit to on this station is one named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover before the aircraft is released, the same standard whether the movement is inflight catering in India for a scheduled sector or a state visit, and airport catering at Chipi is planned to that one rule.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged diversion catering at Chipi (SDW/VOSR). 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. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Faris — Crew Operations Coordinator
“We needed outstation catering for a flight through Chipi (SDW/VOSR) and the process was much easier than expected. Updates were concise and the delivery timing matched our handling plan. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at SDW
Diversion catering and ramp questions at SDW
What operations gets asked every week about Chipi.
Ask operations directly →Do you produce halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes at SDW?
Yes, halal and kosher trays and the full range of SPML special meals are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before sealing.
How much does airline catering cost at VOSR?
Cost rests on the standard applied to the load: cabin count, specification and loading window all feed the quotation, so we do not publish a price list and the desk returns a figure once those are known.
Can an order still change close to departure at Chipi?
Lead time is set by the loading window itself; how far in advance you place the order determines how late a specification can still shift, and last minute airline catering is worked case by case against that window.
Does ramp access limit private jet catering delivery at Chipi Airport?
There is FBO catering to every operator on the field, delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
At what point does airline catering move from the kitchen to the aircraft at SDW?
The sealed cart leaves the kitchen first, crosses the apron under escort, then transfers by hi-loader for airside delivery straight to the galley door.
VOSR: do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The same sealed cart and hi-loader carry VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, run to a documented protocol file per passenger.
