He loves food and he came up with the idea of flying his food around with a pilot friend. After buying the jet he himself is learning to fly. He had assigned 35000 pounds to buy and restore the jet. He came up with the idea as he saw that Indian food from his restaurant was requested by top celebrities from around the world. The appreciation and need to do something to spread the cuisine egged him to take this step.

As reported in ibnlive.in.com Rob Abdul said that once he has learnt flying he would take permission. He also said that businessmen are not supposed to disappoint their customers. This is not the first time that Rob has catered to the requests of his customers. In 2006 he took a rare takeaway to Germany during the World Cup at the request of dance band 'Opposite Worlds’. He is apparently the only one who can cook a fish ‘vowl’ that is only found in East Bengal and which the band requested for from their luxury hotel.

There was another instance in 2006 itself where he delivered food for 40 people in a helicopter when a former Blue band’s musician, Lee Ryan asked for it. He also worked with an Indian restaurant in Bath called Bombay Nights and sent over a meal to the England cricket team during the Ashes. Many people around the world love Indian curry and the flavours of different spices. Normally, foreigners can’t take food that's too spicy but minus the bell peppers and chillies they love the Indian cuisine. Thus, Rob is trying to spread that love around. It would be a costly affair to get food flown from a different country but for food, sky is the limit.
