Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Bandar Abbas (OIKB / BND)
BND (IATA) · OIKB (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code at this station means a scheduled widebody can be boarded on the same stand where our hi-loaders reach the galley door without touching the tarmac first. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Bandar Abbas (OIKB), for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, with wide-body handling and airside access built into every rotation.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at Bandar Abbas (BND)
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at OIKB
The loading window here runs from the sealed cart at our flight kitchen to the galley door, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than handed to a third party at the gate. Every catering uplift crossing the apron at Bandar Abbas is logged at both ends of that run, so the minutes between seal and signature are measured, not estimated. That measurement is what lets a wide-body rotation at OIKB hold its schedule when the ramp is busy.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Bandar Abbas sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the average of them. The convoy is the risk on this route, not the galley catering itself, so the route and the escort are fixed before the cart ever leaves the kitchen.
Temperature is logged at the seal and again at handover, and the chain of custody closes with a signature at the galley door confirming both readings against the load sheet. Nothing crosses the apron without that pair of readings attached to it.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing in between.
Airline catering companies' production standard at Bandar Abbas, Iran
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Bandar Abbas airport
The flight kitchen behind Bandar Abbas runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, all working to a documented HACCP standard rather than to separate house rules for each customer. Airport catering at BND is built on that single production line, so a scheduled rotation and a diversion draw on the same cold chain and the same sealed handover. Airport catering in Bandar Abbas therefore never depends on which gate the aircraft is parked at, only on which stand the hi-loader is sent to.
The team behind government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and sitting on the access list rather than being assembled fresh per movement. That crew is trained to royal household standards as well as airline ones, so a sealed uplift bound for a state cabin and one bound for a main cabin leave the same kitchen under the same chain of custody. Catering at OIKB is signed off by that crew alone, never by whoever is on shift.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at OIKB / BND
VVIP catering to a written specification at Bandar Abbas (BND)
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed weekly cycle, so a First cabin, a Business cabin and a main cabin each carry their own specification on the same rotation. Iran's dairy, fish and orchard produce feature in the sourcing where the season allows it, without naming a single dish or supplier on this page. Inflight catering here closes on documentation: allergen sets, halal and kosher sets, and the medical sets a passenger's file requires are labelled per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. That labelling is what lets a mixed cabin of state, business and leisure passengers board from one kitchen without a mismatched tray reaching the wrong seat.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Bandar Abbas are plated to a written specification rather than a rotating menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeated exactly, rotation after rotation, so the presentation matches the file every time it is opened.
Business cabins
Business cabins at BND run multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger tray sets, so a rushed turnaround at Bandar Abbas never mixes the two.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at OIKB are documented per passenger rather than assumed, covering household, religious and medical needs on the same file that travels with the booking. Halal and kosher sets, along with the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before they leave it, so inflight catering here answers a protocol officer's checklist as directly as a passenger's.

Flight catering airside delivery at BND
Bandar Abbas carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways, and that mix sets three different catering problems on the same ramp: a delegation is a documentation problem, a peak wave of departures is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem that has to be solved the same way every time. The wide-body reference code held here means the loading plan is built for full three-cabin rotations rather than single-aisle turnarounds.
Airline catering at Bandar Abbas moves from our flight kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded directly to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with ground handling on the apron covering the escort across to the stand. In-flight catering at Bandar Abbas and aviation catering at BND run off one ops desk rather than separate lines per segment, and airport catering at OIKB is planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed at the gate.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load.
Charter flight catering and state missions at Bandar Abbas airport
01
Government and state flight catering at BND
A head of state aircraft on the wide-body stand here is worked to the same reference code as a scheduled widebody, which is what lets protocol and loading run in parallel instead of in sequence. Government flight catering at Bandar Abbas covers state visits and official movements with the file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the ramp, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
Government & state flights →
02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Bandar Abbas
Wide-body is the reference code held at this station, and that single fact is what allows a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP — to be boarded on the same stand and to the same galley height as a scheduled aircraft. Royal flight catering at BND follows a written household specification kept on file between movements, with royal household requirements and halal sets produced against that same file on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at OIKB
Our kitchen loads a full three-cabin uplift onto the wide-body stands here for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counting every tray against the loading sheet before the cart is sealed. Charter flight catering at Bandar Abbas and charter flight catering at OIKB are staged in the order the galleys are laid out, covering multi-leg rotations without resequencing between legs.

Airline and ad hoc catering at BND
At the wide-body stands here, a scheduled carrier running Bandar Abbas as an outstation draws on the same kitchen as an unplanned diversion. Ad hoc airline catering at BND covers outstation catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with diversion catering in Iran and AOG included, crew meals in Bandar Abbas and cabin crew boxes carried across a multi-leg rotation without a change of supplier.

Private jet and FBO catering at Bandar Abbas
3660 metres of runway lets business aviation share the same wide-body infrastructure as scheduled traffic at this field, so a private jet is never routed around the main operation. Private jet catering at Bandar Abbas reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering and business aviation catering handled by our dedicated business jet catering branch.

“A short-notice movement brought us into Bandar Abbas (BND/OIKB), so we needed reliable diversion catering. Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Youssef — Air Transport Operations Officer
“Bandar Abbas (BND/OIKB) was an outstation for us, and we booked off-station catering for the sector. Updates were concise and the delivery timing matched our handling plan. A solid solution for outstation operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Charter operator

What operations gets asked every week about Bandar Abbas.
Ask operations directly →What halal, kosher and special meal codes does Bandar Abbas produce, and how are they documented?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA SPML codes on a separate line, and every tray is labelled and logged per passenger before the cart is sealed.
Which lead time applies to an order placed for BND, and how late can the specification change?
The loader and the cart route are fixed well ahead of the rotation, but cabin counts and special meal codes can still be confirmed close to departure, right up to the loading window itself.
Do you publish what airline catering costs at OIKB?
Yes, through a quotation rather than a fixed list, built around cabin count, specification and the loading window requested for the rotation.
Can Bandar Abbas handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
Head of state and royal household movements here run on a sealed uplift with security clearance on file, and VIP flight catering and government flight catering both follow that same protocol file rather than a standard menu run.
