Aviation catering — Okushiri Island, Japan
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Okushiri Island (RJEO / OIR)
OIR (IATA) · RJEO (ICAO)
The single 1500 m runway at Okushiri Island sets a narrow-body reference code, and every uplift on that stand is planned to it rather than to a generic wide-body assumption. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off that same ramp, boarding by hi-loader to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements alike.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Okushiri Island
At Okushiri Island the catering uplift is sequenced against the single runway's turnaround rather than a generic timetable, so the sealed cart clears the kitchen only once the stand is confirmed. Ramp access is held on our own badges, which keeps the walk from kitchen to apron short and repeatable on every rotation. Cold chain integrity is held from seal to signature, and the loading window closes only once the galley door is checked and logged.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Okushiri Island sit screening, escort and the apron traffic of a single-runway field, and we plan the galley catering uplift against the worst of them rather than the average case. Chain of custody starts at the seal on the cart and does not break until a name is signed against the galley door. Temperature is logged twice, once at sealing and once at handover, so the record and the cold chain agree by the time the aircraft pushes back.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature from kitchen to galley door.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Okushiri Island airport

Airline food supplier crews cleared for OIR
Airport catering at Okushiri Island runs from one flight kitchen that keeps hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, built around the narrow-body reference code the field's single runway sets. HACCP-run lines carry tray sets and passenger meal boxes to a cold chain checked from the moment they leave the larder, and that same standard applies whether the rotation is scheduled, charter or ad hoc. Airport catering in Japan at this scale means one kitchen answering to one ops desk rather than several handlers passing a load between them.
The team that handles government flight catering at Okushiri Island is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster assembled to the calendar. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, each name sits on the access list before the cart is sealed, and each is trained to the paperwork a royal household or a state delegation expects to travel with the load. That consistency, not a larger headcount, is what a protocol officer is actually checking for.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Okushiri Island (OIR)
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at RJEO
Menus at Okushiri Island are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed cycle, and inflight catering here draws on the produce of the wider Japanese coast and countryside where the season allows it. Dairy, fish and orchard fruit move through the kitchen alongside the standard tray-set range, matched to whichever cabin configuration the rotation carries. Every special set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed, from allergen substitutions to religious and medical requirements. The result is a menu range that moves with the mission, not a single card offered to every flight regardless of who is on it.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Okushiri Island are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Every dish leaving the kitchen for this stand is filed against that standing order before VIP flight catering reaches the galley door.

Business cabins
Business cabins at OIR run on multi-choice hot service, oven-ready and sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in the same tray sets, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster, all logged out of the same kitchen.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at RJEO are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Each is produced on a separate line at the kitchen and sealed before it leaves it, so inflight catering here carries no cross-contact risk between sets.

Food safety and cold chain for aviation catering at RJEO / OIR
Flight catering airside delivery at RJEO / OIR
Okushiri Island runs a narrow-body traffic profile off a single 1500 m runway, which means catering here is planned around one stand's turnaround rather than a bank of simultaneous wide-body arrivals. A repeat rotation on that stand is a repetition problem more than a capacity one: the same tray specification has to land the same way every time it is called.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, carried from our kitchen across the apron under airside delivery rules held on our own badges. Airline catering at Okushiri Island, in-flight catering in Okushiri Island, airport catering at Okushiri Island and aviation catering in Japan all move through that same route, with one coordinator carrying the load from seal to handover.
What we commit to on this station is a single named coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover on every rotation, regardless of how the traffic mix on the stand changes week to week.
