Aviation catering — Rajkot, India
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Rajkot (VAHS / HSR)
HSR (IATA) · VAHS (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code and a 3040 m runway let scheduled and charter aircraft board here without restriction on cabin count. Inflight catering at HSR runs on hi-loader boarding to galley height, uplift staged from a wide-body kitchen, and in-flight catering across three cabins is planned stand by stand rather than promised as a brochure line.

On the apron — Rajkot
Wide-body inflight catering at Rajkot airport
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Rajkot, India
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Rajkot airport
The loading window at Rajkot is a measured sequence, not an estimate: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen, clears screening, and is presented at the galley door by hi-loader. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the catering uplift moves without waiting on a shared escort slot. Every stage is logged as it happens, from seal to signature at the stand.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Rajkot sit screening, escort scheduling and apron traffic, and none of the three is left to chance on the day. We plan the galley catering sequence against the worst case each of them can produce, holding a margin in the loading window rather than discovering it on the ramp. The chain of custody starts at the kitchen seal and does not break until a named signature closes it at the aircraft.
Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, so the catering uplift arrives with a written record rather than an assurance. The same document that carries the load also carries both readings, matched against the specification it was built to. Nothing about the record is estimated.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing lost between them.
Airline food supplier for VAHS / HSR rotations
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Rajkot (HSR)
Airport catering at Rajkot runs from a single facility that holds hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, rather than splitting the load across separate suppliers. That structure is what lets airport catering at HSR answer a multi-class order and a government file on the same day without one displacing the other. The flight kitchen at HSR works to a documented HACCP standard on every line, and the cold chain is held from production through to the cart that leaves for the ramp.
The team that handles catering at HSR is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Government flight catering here runs on staff who hold security clearance on file, sit on the access list for the airside route, and are trained to household standards rather than a general service brief. The paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift is checked by that same crew before it leaves the building.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Rajkot
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Rajkot, India
Menus at Rajkot are written to the cabin and the mission rather than plated to a single fixed list, so a scheduled sector and a charter rotation are never served from the same tray set by default. Inflight catering at VAHS draws where the facts allow on regional produce for main cabin service, kept general rather than named as a single dish or a single supplier. Seasonal adjustment is built into the menu cycle, not treated as an exception request. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before it is loaded rather than sorted on arrival.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Rajkot are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than assumed as standard. VIP flight catering here follows that specification against the standing order, so the presentation matches what was agreed and not what was convenient on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at HSR run multi-choice hot service to a cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals in Rajkot and cabin crew meals are boarded alongside the passenger trays, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster rather than shared from the same set.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Rajkot are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets against a written file rather than a verbal note. Halal and kosher trays, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before departure, and inflight catering in Rajkot carries that documentation with the load rather than apart from it.

Flight catering airside delivery at VAHS
Rajkot handles scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements across one wide-body reference code, which turns a delegation into a documentation task and a peak wave into a capacity one rather than a single generic load. Airline catering at Rajkot is planned against that mix, so a multi-leg rotation and an ad hoc uplift are worked from the same duty roster instead of separate ones.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our kitchen, presented at galley door height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the full sequence. In-flight catering in Rajkot and aviation catering at Rajkot both run off that one ops desk, so a stand change or a delayed slot is worked without a second handover.
What we commit to on every stand here is one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, whatever the mission on the manifest, and airport catering at VAHS is measured against that commitment rotation by rotation.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Rajkot airport
01
Government and state flight catering at Rajkot
A wide-body reference code held at this field means a head of state aircraft is worked to the same stand sequence as any other wide-body movement, with the protocol file built around that constraint rather than around the aircraft type. Government flight catering at VAHS then adds security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift on top of that ramp plan.
Government & state flights →
02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at VAHS
The wide-body reference code held here means a private airliner boards to the same ramp sequence as a scheduled wide-body, so a household specification travels on a process the field already runs daily. Royal flight catering at Rajkot covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements, held to that specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and household dietary sets produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at HSR
We load the single wide-body stand here to a full three-cabin specification for charter movements, counting the uplift against the loading sheet rather than a generic count. Charter flight catering in Rajkot and charter flight catering in India both cover ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, staged in the order the galleys are laid out for a multi-leg rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Rajkot
Off the single wide-body stand held to a 3040 m runway, carriers running this station as an outstation get outstation catering built around that same ramp sequence rather than a one per airline. Ad hoc airline catering in India sits alongside diversion catering and technical stop catering on the same duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals in India boxed to the roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at VAHS
The 3040 m runway at this field also carries business aviation traffic, worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than from the main wide-body ramp. Private jet catering at HSR and business aviation catering here run through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering and business jet catering delivered on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We had a last-minute schedule change into Rajkot (HSR/VAHS) and needed contingency catering. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. A dependable option for irregular operations. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Marta — Private Aviation Manager
“We needed off-station catering for a flight through Rajkot (HSR/VAHS) and the process was much easier than expected. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at Rajkot
Crew meals, lead times and access at Rajkot
What operations gets asked every week about Rajkot.
Ask operations directly →What halal, kosher and special meal codes are produced for Rajkot flights?
We produce halal and kosher sets on a separate line and cover the full range of IATA SPML codes, each one documented per passenger before it leaves the kitchen.
Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Rajkot Airport?
One coordinator and one sealed process cover both: VIP flight catering and government flight catering here run under the same protocol file, security-cleared staff included.
Do you publish what airline catering costs at HSR?
Yes, by quotation rather than a fixed list, since airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested.
Which lead time applies to an order placed for VAHS?
The hi-loader and sealed-cart sequence sets how far in advance we need the order, though a specification can still change close to departure; ask the desk about last minute airline catering before ruling it out.
How do you handle private jet catering for aircraft based in Rajkot?
Rajkot's GA terminal and the FBOs on the field both receive private jet catering and FBO catering from the same kitchen, on the same cold chain and paperwork as any airline uplift.
