Chef Davide Awad: private jet catering coverage

Twelve years in airline catering and executive galleys — Chef Davide Awad covers Safdarjung Airport and prepares each order as a discrete production run. He writes menus that survive a long cruise: mains that reheat without drying, cold service that holds texture across two cabin rounds, second-service items portioned separately, and crew meals cooked to the same standard. You reach him directly, and he answers on oven timing, allergen queries, and same-day availability without a intermediary.

Cooked for your slot, packed for your galley.

How private jet catering runs at Safdarjung Airport

Departure patterns at Safdarjung Airport show morning concentrations for westbound Europe sectors and late-afternoon slots for eastbound Asia routes, with weekend charter activity linked to corporate and leisure travel. Production schedules mirror these peaks: breakfast trays are assembled before dawn, while dinner services begin plating mid-afternoon to align with evening take-offs. Delivery rounds are synchronised with fuel uploads and handling-agent timelines, so catering arrives during the narrow window between final checks and passenger boarding. Flight attendants receive a galley briefing—oven wattage limits, refrigeration capacity, tray stacking sequences—tailored to aircraft type, from light jets with minimal galley infrastructure to long-range heavy iron equipped with convection ovens. During high season, coordination with ground handlers tightens: slot congestion and ramp traffic require precise handover timing to avoid delays in business aviation catering at New Delhi operations.

The New Delhi production kitchen — private jet catering near Safdarjung Airport
The New Delhi kitchen

Jet catering New Delhi production facility

The kitchen that handles private jet catering for Safdarjung Airport maintains dedicated cold rooms, a pastry station and a garde-manger line for chilled assembly. Hot preparations are timed to departure windows, with sauces reduced to travel viscosity and proteins cooked to core temperature before vacuum-sealing. Every private aircraft catering order is logged, portioned and labelled for allergen transparency. Plating follows cabin galley capacity: wide-body configurations receive multi-course service ware, while light jets get single-tray solutions. Inflight catering production aligns with slot confirmations; same-day requests are accommodated when kitchen capacity and ingredient availability allow. All packaging is sealed under cleanroom protocol, then staged in temperature-controlled holding until the scheduled transfer window opens.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Safdarjung Airport

You can order breakfast trays for an early departure, cold plates that hold across a long leg without galley reheating, mains portioned for oven service at altitude, and crew meals packed on the same run. Every item is labelled with its literal allergen content — dairy, gluten, shellfish, nuts — so the cabin crew can brief passengers accurately. Portioning follows your seat count; adjustments for children or dietary restrictions are marked separately.

Smoked chicken with herb yoghurt and pickled vegetables

Served cold, holds six hours under refrigeration, contains dairy and mustard.

Braised lamb shoulder with saffron rice and roasted aubergine

Reheats in a galley oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, contains no major allergens.

Cardamom panna cotta with poached pear and pistachio crumb

Served chilled, holds eight hours, contains dairy, egg, and tree nuts.

Airside delivery

Aviation catering delivery airside at Safdarjung Airport

Cabin service on a fourteen-hour sector requires dishes that hold temperature and texture across two meal windows — the kitchen prepares mains that reheat cleanly in a galley oven, cold plates sealed for mid-flight service, and crew meals on the same production run. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering both move airside in temperature-controlled vehicles, badged drivers handing over at the FBO you nominate or directly at the aircraft door. High loader capability is confirmed at the time of order for large-cabin galley access where the apron configuration allows.

Seasonal produce sourced near New Delhi
Inflight catering — India

Private jet menu planning for departures from VIDD

Crew and handling coordinate the inflight menu around what can be sourced fresh that week. A late change to the private jet menu can typically be absorbed if notice reaches the kitchen preparing your order within the lead time for that departure slot. Same-day requests are assessed against what has already been prepped and what the cold chain allows. Seasonal produce drives the range: stone fruit and melon through the warmer months, root vegetables and brassicas when the market turns. What holds over a long sector determines final portioning.
