History of TajSATS

From the very beginning, TajSATS’ passion for excellence in the aviation industry was an intrinsic part of its inheritance. Mr. J.R.D. Tata was known as the Father of Indian Civil Aviation and introduced it in the Indian subcontinent in 1932 when he launched Tata Airlines, later known as Air India.

In the early seventies, the pioneers of Taj Hotels envisioned taking their world-class hospitality and inimitable customer experience to the skies as well. Thus, Taj Air Caterers was born in 1976.

Our Journey So Far

Mr. JRD Tata was passionate about flying and aviation

THE LATE 70'S

Mr. JRD Tata was passionate about flying and aviation was his first love; he was one of the first Indians to get a pilot’s license.

From the very beginning, his passion for excellence became an essential part of our legacy.

At the start of its journey, Taj Air Caterers began serving a small clientele with a modest team and catered around 10,000 meals a month.

As the company grew, it was bestowed with awards and recognition by its partners

THE 90's

As the company grew, it was bestowed with awards and recognition by its partners, and its customer-first approach was recognised and felicitated.

With a vision to spread its wings further, the company started non-aviation catering as well.

It was a decade of firsts that included the first Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification in the industry.

TajSATS emerged as the leader in airline catering and a top player in institutional catering

THE 2000's

In the new millennium, a partnership was formed between IHCL – Asia’s largest hospitality company and SATS Limited – the continent’s finest food solutions enterprise.

TajSATS emerged as the leader in airline catering and a top player in institutional catering. Its dedicated customer-first attitude, culinary distinction, superlative food quality and innovation has defined the company’s exceptional growth trajectory.
