How far in advance should I order?

For standard menus, 24 hours is a comfortable minimum at SHL. For complex requirements — large parties, elaborate hot courses, or sourcing from further afield — 48 hours gives us the best room to deliver exactly what you have briefed. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours in all cases.

Can you source fresh local Meghalayan ingredients?

Yes. Smoked meats, local rice varieties, seasonal vegetables, and highland herbs from the Khasi region are all within our sourcing reach. We draw on the Guwahati supply network when volume or variety demands it, keeping lead times honest.

Which handlers or FBOs do you work with at Shillong?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Rather than naming a preferred partner, we coordinate directly with your ground contact on arrival logistics, pack format, and timing so the handover is seamless regardless of who is handling the turn.

Can you cater a crew meal separately from the passenger order?

Absolutely. Crew meals are quoted and packed independently from the passenger cabin order — clearly labelled, correctly portioned for working schedules, and formatted so the galley stays organised throughout the flight.

Does Shillong's altitude or runway length affect how you pack the catering?

It informs how we think about pack weight and format. At an airfield with a runway of this length, we design compact, galley-ready packs rather than bulk trolley loads, keeping the delivery both practical and weight-conscious.

Do you cover other airports in the northeast if the aircraft repositions?

Yes. Our network covers the wider region, including Guwahati, Silchar, Tezpur, Dimapur, Agartala, and Sylhet, among others. If your routing changes, your single point of contact transfers the brief without you having to re-brief a different team.

Inflight catering menu for Shillong

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Shillong departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenIndia

To start

Smoked Pork and Bamboo Shoot Parcel

Highland pork slow-smoked over wood, folded with fermented bamboo shoot and a measure of local chilli, sealed in a neutral rice-paper wrap and galley-chilled for service at altitude. A direct expression of Meghalayan flavour in a manageable cabin format.

Cold main

Mustard-Dressed River Fish Plate

Freshwater fish from the northeast, poached and dressed with cold-pressed mustard oil, pickled turmeric slices, and crisp shallot. Served chilled over a bed of seasoned red rice, portioned for single service.

Hot main

Khasi-Style Chicken with Black Sesame Broth

Free-range chicken braised slowly in a broth built on wild black sesame and ginger, finished with dried chilli and fresh coriander. Packed in a sealed, reheatable vessel with steamed red rice on the side.

Morning

Sticky Red Rice Congee with Smoked Fish

A gentle morning bowl of Assam red rice cooked to a soft congee consistency, topped with flakes of cold-smoked local fish and a scattering of spring onion. Warming, light, and coherent at early departure times.

Pâtisserie

Black Sesame and Jaggery Tartlet

A short-crust shell filled with a set cream of roasted black sesame and unrefined jaggery, finished with a dusting of ground cardamom. Compact enough for tray service, distinctive enough to be remembered.

To finish

Citrus and Honey Cream Pot

A lightly set cream of highland honey and fresh citrus juice — sourced where the season allows — layered with a thin citrus gel and a segment of candied peel. Clean, unfussy, and a considered close to a regional menu.

Inflight Catering · Shillong

Inflight catering for Shillong flights

The Khasi hills surrounding Shillong yield some of Northeast India's most distinctive produce — wild black sesame, smoked river fish, fresh turmeric root, and the fiery dried chillies that define Meghalayan cooking. Our sourcing team draws on this larder thoughtfully, bringing genuine regional character to cabins that might otherwise receive generic fare. Guwahati, roughly 60 kilometres to the north-west, gives us access to a larger supply network when the schedule demands it, while Sylhet, some 83 kilometres south-east across the border region, adds further depth to what we can marshal at short notice. Every order for Shillong private jet catering is planned against what is genuinely available, not against a static menu printed elsewhere.

Regional Catering Menu · Shillong

Shillong private jet catering

Northeast India's culinary identity is quiet but striking — bamboo-shoot broths, slow-smoked pork with akhuni, delicate mustard-leaf preparations, and sticky red rice from the Bodo plains. We translate these into galley-ready formats: sealed, correctly portioned, and cleared through the correct handling protocols so your crew receives them without theatre or delay. For passengers less acquainted with the region's pantry, we balance the menu with technically precise continental and pan-Asian options — cold-smoked salmon portions, composed grain salads, and clean dessert plates built around seasonal citrus. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time, and all dietary briefs are held against a single point of contact throughout the order lifecycle.
