Airline & VIP flight catering — Iran
Airline, VIP and Private Jet Catering Across Iran
Iran's aerodrome network carries wide-body reference codes at Bushehr, Isfahan, Shiraz and Tehran, among others, giving airline catering operators ramp access for direct hi-loader boarding rather than kerbside handover. Aviation catering here spans scheduled inflight programmes, government movements and charter uplifts, loaded straight onto the aircraft door.

How Aviation Catering Operates Across Iran
Iran's aerodrome network is dominated by wide-body reference codes: Bushehr, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tehran (IKA), Amirabad, Zahedan and Yazd all carry runways built for wide-body movements, while a smaller group of fields — Iranshahr, Jiroft, Ramsar, Omidiyeh, Lavan, Qazvin, Fasa, Gachsaran, Khark and Nowshahr — sit at narrow-body reference code. This split shapes how airline catering companies plan a load: an outstation uplift for a wide-body diversion is a different exercise from a narrow-body turnaround, and the ops desk builds the tray count and cold chain around whichever profile the flight presents.instead.length is fine but let's not exceed. Bushehr holds the longest strip in the country at 4470 metres, alongside Isfahan, Shiraz and Amirabad among the longer wide-body fields, giving heavier aircraft the margin to operate scheduled and charter movements without route restriction. Requests move through the ops desk as a standard order: flight number, aircraft type, pax and crew count, and the load is built to the aerodrome's own stand and reference-code profile. Ground handling services at each field feed the same cold chain discipline from kitchen to aircraft door, whether the movement is a scheduled airline rotation, a government flight or a wide-body charter passing through Kish Island, Mashhad or Tabriz.

One Airline Catering Operation, Five Types of Flying
Across Iran's aerodrome network, the same airline catering operation routes into five distinct kinds of flying: scheduled airline rotations, government and state movements, royal and VVIP flights, wide-body charter and ACMI work, and private jet catering for business aviation. Each is handled through its own routing below.

Ordering Airline Catering: Iran
To place an order for a movement anywhere in Iran, send the flight number, ETA, aircraft type and stand, plus pax and crew count broken out by cabin, together with any special meal codes required. The ops desk matches the request to the station's own reference code and stand profile before building the load. Airline catering services here run on the same documentation whether the movement is a scheduled rotation, a diversion or a charter uplift. Submit the details through the quote request to get the load confirmed against your aircraft type and ETA.
Iran Airline Catering Questions
What Operations Desks Ask About Iran
Ask operations directly →Which Iranian stations take wide-body aircraft?
Most published stations carry a wide-body aerodrome reference code, including Tehran (IKA), Bushehr, Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, Tabriz and Zahedan. A smaller number, such as Iranshahr, Jiroft and Qazvin, are built to narrow-body reference code.
Can catering be loaded directly onto the aircraft rather than left at the ramp?
Yes. Where stand infrastructure allows, loads are boarded by hi-loader directly onto the galley door rather than handed over at the foot of the aircraft.
Does the same operation handle government and royal flights alongside scheduled airlines?
Yes. Government, royal and VVIP movements run through the same aerodrome network as scheduled airline and charter traffic, with cleared staff and sealed loads applied to protocol movements.
What information is needed to place an order for an Iranian station?
Flight number, ETA, aircraft type, stand, pax and crew count by cabin, and any special meal codes. The ops desk builds the load against the station's own runway and stand data.
Is private jet catering available at the same stations as airline catering?
Yes, through the dedicated private-jet branch, which delivers to FBOs and GA terminals on the same cold chain and documentation as a scheduled airline uplift.
