Aviation catering — Amirabad, Iran
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Amirabad (OIHS / NUJ)
NUJ (IATA) · OIHS (ICAO)
Amirabad carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code across two runways, the longest at 4359 metres, so a full-size widebody can be boarded on stand rather than staged at the ramp edge. That capability is delivered by hi-loader to galley height for inflight catering and in-flight catering alike, with uplift moved on one ops desk and aviation catering worked to a single loading sheet whatever the wide-body type on stand.

Inflight catering lead times at Amirabad airport
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at NUJ
The loading window at Amirabad runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, held against ramp access rather than against a clock alone. Wide-body stands here take the full uplift in one pass, with cold chain integrity carried across the apron and confirmed before the hi-loader engages the galley. Every step of that catering uplift is logged, so a delay on one rotation never becomes a guess on the next.

Between our kitchen and the wide-body stands at Amirabad sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and none of them is left to chance: the convoy is planned against the worst of the three, not the average of them. A sealed catering uplift moves under one continuous chain of custody, handed from kitchen to escort to the galley door without a gap a delay could open. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at the galley on handover, and the crew signature that closes the load is what makes the whole gap, kitchen to stand, accountable as galley catering rather than as a delivery note.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing loose in between.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Amirabad (NUJ)

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for OIHS
Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof to provision Amirabad, run to an HACCP standard that does not vary by mission type. That combination is what lets airport catering at NUJ move a multi-class uplift and a single-cabin VIP order off the same production floor without either queuing behind the other. Airport catering in Iran built this way also holds a full cold chain from the larder to the sealed cart, so the flight kitchen at NUJ can commit to a wide-body rotation and a smaller charter in the same shift.
The team that handles government flight catering at Amirabad is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to royal household standards as well as to the airline paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and at OIHS it is answered by keeping the roster fixed rather than by adding names to it.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Amirabad, Iran
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at Amirabad airport
Amirabad menus are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted to the season, rather than fixed to a single standing card. Inflight catering here draws on the country's produce in general terms, dairy, orchard fruit and fresh fish worked into the plan rather than named as a single dish. From passenger meal boxes for a full-cabin rotation to a single-tray VVIP order, the same production line at Amirabad carries both without either being treated as an afterthought. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before it leaves the kitchen and matched against the loading sheet on arrival.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Amirabad are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request and filed against the standing order for the operator. VIP flight catering here is built to repeat: the same specification returns on the next rotation exactly as it left on the first, checked against the file rather than against memory.

Business cabins
Business cabins at OIHS run multi-choice hot service to a fixed cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on stand. Crew meals in Amirabad, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so crew meals at OIHS never share a tray set with the passenger cabin.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Amirabad are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering at Amirabad produces these on a separate line from the main cabin run and seals each one before it leaves the kitchen, so the tray that boards matches the code filed against that passenger.

HACCP and sealed transfer for aircraft catering at Amirabad airport
Flight catering airside delivery at Amirabad
Amirabad carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code across two runways, the longer at 4359 metres, which sets the traffic this station is built to take rather than the traffic it happens to see. A wide-body rotation here is a capacity problem for catering before it is anything else: the full three-cabin uplift has to be staged, sequenced and loaded inside one window, not trickled out over several passes. Airline catering and inflight catering at Amirabad both run from that same premise, with in-flight catering and aviation catering worked off a single ops desk rather than split by mission type.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, carried from our kitchen across the apron under one continuous chain of custody rather than dropped at the foot of the stand. Airport catering at Amirabad is planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own badges so the convoy is never waiting on someone else's clearance.
On every stand at Amirabad, one coordinator holds the loading sheet, the carts stay sealed until the galley door, and the handover closes on a signed record rather than a verbal check.

“A short-notice movement brought us into Amirabad (NUJ/OIHS), so we needed reliable urgent airline catering. They reacted quickly to revised timings and passenger numbers, and the handover was straightforward. Good support when timing is the main pressure point. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

“We needed outstation catering for a flight through Amirabad (NUJ/OIHS) and the process was much easier than expected. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. We would be comfortable using the service there again. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at Amirabad, Iran
What operations gets asked every week about Amirabad.
Ask operations directly →Amirabad airline catering cost depends on what factors?
The equipment carrying the uplift, cabin count and specification, and the loading window booked all set the quotation; we publish no fixed price list and the desk returns a figure once those are confirmed.
How far in advance does NUJ need the order placed, and how late can the specification change?
NUJ works to a lead time set by cabin count and mission type, and even a last minute airline catering change can usually be absorbed if it reaches the kitchen before the sealed cart leaves for the stand.
Given the wide-body reference code held at OIHS, do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights here, and under what protocol?
There is a standing protocol file for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at OIHS, with security-cleared staff and documentation that travels with the sealed uplift on every movement.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Amirabad?
Yes, FBO catering at Amirabad reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
