Catering is judged entirely on execution: the right order, prepared properly, delivered at the correct temperature, at the correct time, to the correct stand. Aileron Air arranges galley loading for private jets, charter flights and VIP movements across India and the region, and supervises the loading at the aircraft.
What We Arrange
Full meal service
Continental, Indian, Middle Eastern, Pan-Asian and regional cuisines, prepared to your specification and presented to the cabin standard you operate.
Dietary and religious requirements
Halal, kosher, vegetarian, Jain, vegan, gluten-free, diabetic and allergy-specific meals, prepared with proper separation and clearly labelled. Certified kosher catering availability varies significantly by Indian city, so confirm with our desk before committing to a 0passenger.
Crew meals
Ordered and billed separately, with different meals for operating crew where your procedures require it.
Beverages and bar service
Soft drinks, hot beverages, ice, and alcohol where legally permitted at that station. Alcohol rules differ across Indian states and some airports restrict uplift entirely — we confirm the position for your specific airport before you plan around it.
Galley supplies and cabin
consumables
Linen, crockery and glassware, disposables, newspapers and magazines, amenity items and cabin supplies.
Delivery and supervised
loading
Cold chain maintained to the aircraft, delivery sequenced into the turnaround, and loading supervised so the order is checked at the aircraft rather than discovered wrong in the air.
How to Order Catering
Send us the flight details, passenger and crew numbers, meal preferences, dietary requirements and service timing. We confirm what is available at that airport and quote within four hours, and take your final order up to the cut-off time for that station — typically 24 hours before departure at major Indian airports, longer for specialist menus and smaller airfields.
Late changes are usually possible. Very late changes sometimes are
not, and we will tell you rather than promise and disappoint the
passenger.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for inflight catering?
Typically 24 hours for a routine order at a major Indian airport.
Specialist requirements, large orders, VIP menus and smaller airfields
need more. Ask early even if the order is not final — knowing what is
achievable shapes what you offer the passenger.
Can you cater at smaller Indian airports?
Availability varies. At some airfields there is no approved catering
unit and meals must be brought from the nearest city, which changes both
lead time and cost. We confirm the position for each stop before you
plan around it.
Can you match a specific restaurant or a passenger’s usual
order? Often yes, particularly in Delhi, Mumbai and other major
cities. Send us the request and we will tell you honestly whether it is
achievable at that airport.
Do you handle halal, kosher and Jain requirements?
Yes, with appropriate preparation, separation and labelling. Certified
kosher availability in particular varies by city, so confirm with us
before committing.
Is alcohol available on board? Where legally
permitted at that station. Rules vary across Indian states and some
airports restrict uplift entirely. We confirm for your specific
airport.
Who checks the catering order at the aircraft? Our
supervisor, against the order sheet, before it is loaded. An error found
on the ramp can still be corrected.
