Aviation catering — Siliguri, India
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Siliguri (VEBD / IXB)
IXB (IATA) · VEBD (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held at Siliguri sets the frame for every rotation through this station, from a single ad hoc uplift to a full multi-class cabin turn. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are boarded by hi-loader to galley height, never handed up at the door, and the uplift moves airside from kitchen to stand under one sealed routine.

Aviation catering lead times and loading window at VEBD / IXB
Airport catering, one seal from kitchen to cabin at Siliguri (IXB)
Ramp access sets the pace of every uplift at this station, and the apron is where the window is actually held, not on a schedule sheet. From the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the galley door on the wide-body stand, each stage is logged rather than assumed. A single catering uplift covers the full three-cabin load, timed door to door on the one route the ramp allows.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Siliguri sit screening, an escort through the airside gate, and whatever apron traffic the wide-body movement brings with it. We plan the chain of custody against the worst of that traffic, not the average of it, so a delay on the apron does not become a gap in the galley catering record. Every catering uplift is sealed at the kitchen door, logged again at the aircraft, and closed with a signature that names who carried it. Nothing moves between those two points without both entries matching.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature closing the load at the galley door.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Siliguri, India
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Siliguri, India
The flight kitchen that provisions Siliguri runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding the wide-body reference code held at this stand. Airport catering at this scale means every cart leaving the building is built to HACCP procedure before it reaches the apron, with the cold chain held from the cold larder to the galley door. Airport catering at Siliguri is planned around that one kitchen, not split across several, so the same standard runs from a scheduled service through to a government movement.
The team that handles government flight catering at this kitchen is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for a single movement. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access to the protocol line is limited to that list, and household service standards are trained rather than improvised on the day. That continuity is what a protocol officer or a house manager is actually checking for when a sealed uplift is due at the stand.
Halal airline meals and special meals at IXB
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at VEBD / IXB
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, moving from a scheduled main-cabin service to a full VIP flight menu on the same production line. Where local sourcing is used, it draws on the produce of the surrounding region, dairy, orchard fruit and fish worked into the specification rather than a fixed dish. Inflight catering at IXB covers seasonal changes to that specification without changing the standard it is checked against. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Siliguri are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service and caviar available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so a repeat movement is served to the same record each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at IXB run a multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready tray sets, sized to the fit of the aircraft rather than a generic format. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew are served on their own schedule.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Siliguri, household, religious and medical alike, are documented per passenger rather than assumed from the booking class. Halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before that inflight catering leaves the kitchen for the stand.

Flight catering airside delivery at Siliguri airport
Siliguri handles scheduled, charter and government movements across a single wide-body stand, and that reference code shapes how the day is planned: a delegation is a documentation problem worked through the protocol line, a peak wave is a capacity problem worked through the production kitchen, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem solved by keeping one specification on file.
The route from our kitchen to that stand runs airside, sealed cart to hi-loader, boarded to galley height rather than handed up at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering at VEBD and inflight catering at Siliguri run off that same route regardless of the segment flying, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed for the day. In-flight catering in Siliguri and aviation catering at IXB share the one ops desk that plans against apron traffic before it happens.
On every one of those rotations we commit to a single named coordinator, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover closing the load at the aircraft.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Siliguri
A wide-body aircraft on charter, ACMI or wet-lease work is what the reference code held at this stand exists to board.

Airline and ad hoc catering at VEBD
The 2754 m runway at Siliguri, sets a wide-body reference code that carriers running this station as an outstation plan their turnarounds against. Ad hoc airline catering and outstation catering here sit alongside diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed the same way whether the movement is scheduled or a multi-leg reroute worked out at Siliguri that same day, and ad hoc catering at IXB follows the identical specification each time.

Private jet and FBO catering at IXB
Alongside the wide-body stand, the reference code held at this field also covers the smaller movements worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on it. Private jet catering in Siliguri reaches those aircraft on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, run by our dedicated private-jet branch rather than a separate standard.

“Our sports movement through Siliguri (IXB/VEBD) required sports team flight meals on a tight schedule. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. Very practical for team and group charter work. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Bianca — Flight Services Coordinator
“Our flight through Siliguri (IXB/VEBD) required humanitarian flight catering with limited preparation time. Communication with operations was efficient and the order was adapted quickly when our timings moved. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Jonas — Turnaround Coordinator
“We ordered cargo airline catering for a cargo rotation through Siliguri (IXB/VEBD). The crew received the correct quantities and the handover was quick, which is exactly what we needed. Good service for freighter crews and odd-hour schedules. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at IXB
What operations gets asked every week about Siliguri.
Ask operations directly →What protocol governs VIP flight catering and government flight catering at VEBD?
We run every VIP, VVIP and government flight catering uplift through a documented protocol line, with security clearance held on file for the crew handling it.
When are halal, kosher and other special meals available for departures from Siliguri?
As soon as an order is placed, halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before dispatch to the aircraft.
How much does airline catering cost at Siliguri Airport?
Siliguri Airport carries no published price list, because the airline catering cost here depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window booked for the rotation. Our ops desk returns a quotation once those details are confirmed.
Where is the lead time recorded for orders placed at IXB?
The confirmed loading sheet is what records how far in advance an order must be placed, and last minute airline catering can still be worked against that same sheet when the specification changes late.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at VEBD?
The single wide-body stand at this station is where every airline catering uplift is delivered airside, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.
Which route does private jet catering take to reach the FBOs and the GA terminal in Siliguri?
A dedicated hi-loader and sealed cart carry private jet catering and FBO catering to the GA terminal on the same cold chain used for every airline uplift at this station.
