Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Tezpur, India
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Tezpur (VETZ / TEZ)
TEZ (IATA) · VETZ (ICAO)
Tezpur carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which sets the standard our crews build every rotation against: a single wide-body stand loaded to a full three-cabin specification rather than a narrow-body tray count. Our kitchen runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding to galley height for the uplift that leaves it, so a wide-body departure at this station boards on the same method used at any major hub.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Tezpur, India
Wide-body ramp access at Tezpur governs how the uplift moves once it leaves our kitchen, and it is the reason we measure the run rather than estimate it. The sealed cart crosses the apron under the same ramp access that lets a hi-loader reach the galley door directly, without a stop at the foot of the aircraft. Every catering uplift bound for a stand at VETZ is timed on that route, from seal to signature.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Tezpur sits a fixed sequence: screening, an escort onto the apron, then a queue behind whatever else the ramp is moving that hour. We build the catering uplift schedule to the worst version of that sequence, not the best, so the chain of custody holds even when the apron is busy at VETZ.
Temperature is logged twice for every galley catering load: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, once again at handover to the loading crew at the aircraft. A signature closes each load at Tezpur, tying the seal number to the stand and the time it was broken.
The convoy is the risk at Tezpur, never the food inside it.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for TEZ
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for VETZ / TEZ
The kitchen that provisions VETZ runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standards and to the cold chain a wide-body rotation demands. Airport catering at Tezpur draws on that single site rather than a split supply chain, which keeps the specification consistent from the first cart sealed to the last one loaded. That structure is what lets airport catering in Tezpur cover a scheduled service and a government movement from the same production run.
The staff who handle government flight catering at this station are the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned by whoever is free that day. Each holds a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the protocol cell, and is trained to the household service standard that a royal or state movement expects. That continuity is what a chain of custody depends on: the same hands from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the aircraft.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at VETZ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Tezpur
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, because a First cabin specification and a main-cabin tray run come off the same kitchen but never off the same production line. Where the route touches Indian sourcing, our production draws on regional produce in general categories — dairy, grain, orchard fruit — rather than a single named dish. Inflight catering at Tezpur closes on documentation, not on plating: every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. That labelling travels with the cart, not just with the paperwork, so the crew loading the aircraft can check it against the manifest without opening a single tray.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at VETZ are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the movement, so a repeat rotation boards the same standard without a fresh brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at TEZ take multi-choice hot service built to a written cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from the passenger tray sets, each boxed to the roster rather than to the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Tezpur are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher meals and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, keeping the documented set apart from the general tray run.

Stand-side catering uplift at Tezpur, India
Tezpur is worked to a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which means a delegation movement and a scheduled wide-body service are planned on the same cabin math rather than two different systems. That single reference code is what lets airline catering at Tezpur size a load correctly before the aircraft type for a given rotation is even confirmed, because the stand and the galley layout are already known.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, cleared through the same checkpoint every rotation, with a loading crew on the ramp assigned to that stand and no other for the duration of the load. Aviation catering at TEZ and airport catering in India both run through that one route rather than through separate delivery chains for different customer types.
Our commitment on this station is a single named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the aircraft — the same three commitments whether the flight is inflight catering at Tezpur for a scheduled carrier or in-flight catering in India for a state movement.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Tezpur
01
Government and state flight catering at VETZ
A head of state aircraft on a wide-body reference code is boarded at Tezpur through the same single stand used for scheduled traffic, which is what keeps a delegation movement from needing a separate ramp process. Government flight catering here runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, with the dedicated terminal handling the movement where one is assigned.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at TEZ
On a runway measured at 2746 metres, a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP configuration — clears Tezpur on the same wide-body reference code as a scheduled service. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat rotations from a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced to that same specification at VETZ on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Tezpur
Sequencing a charter load against a single wide-body stand means the loading sheet, not the calendar, decides the order the galleys are laid out in at Tezpur. Charter flight catering at Tezpur covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against that sheet, and charter flight catering at VETZ runs the same count whether the mission is a group charter or a repatriation flight.

Airline and ad hoc catering at VETZ
A wide-body reference code governs the single stand at Tezpur, so an airline running this station as an outstation gets the same cabin layout worked whether the rotation is scheduled or unplanned. Ad hoc airline catering here covers diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with outstation catering and AOG handled through the same route across a multi-leg day, and crew meals in Tezpur boxed to the roster alongside the ad hoc catering at TEZ that keeps outstation catering in India moving.

Private jet and FBO catering at TEZ
The runway measures 2746 metres, which sets the class of business aircraft the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field can turn around at Tezpur. Private jet catering at TEZ reaches those FBOs and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, through business aviation catering and FBO catering run by our dedicated business jet catering branch.

“For our departure from Tezpur (TEZ/VETZ), we specifically needed airline meal boxes. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Lucas — Duty Station Manager
“For a changing schedule at Tezpur (TEZ/VETZ), we needed flexible ad hoc catering. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Javier — Private Aviation Manager
“For our business jet at Tezpur (TEZ/VETZ), 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. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at VETZ
Outstation catering and access questions at VETZ
What operations gets asked every week about Tezpur.
Ask operations directly →What special meal codes and religious sets does VETZ produce?
We produce halal, kosher and the full range of IATA SPML special meals, each documented per passenger and sealed on a separate production line before it joins the load.
How does Tezpur reach the FBOs and the GA terminal with private jet catering?
Tezpur is served by our dedicated business jet catering branch, which delivers FBO catering to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Can Tezpur airport handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
Yes, the wide-body reference code held here supports VIP flight catering and government flight catering under a documented protocol file, with security-cleared staff on every rotation.
Given the single stand, how does airline catering reach the aircraft at TEZ?
There is one wide-body stand at TEZ, and airline catering reaches it by airside delivery from our kitchen, boarded through the galley door by hi-loader rather than at the foot of the aircraft.
Do you publish a fixed airline catering cost for VETZ?
Yes, though only after we know the cabin count, the specification and the loading window for the rotation, since airline catering cost is quoted per movement rather than from a price list.
Which lead time does an order at Tezpur need, and how late can the specification change?
The sealed cart and hi-loader route set our working lead time, and how far in advance a full order should be placed depends on the cabin count, though a specification can often still move close to departure.
