From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Birjand, Iran
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Birjand (OIMB / XBJ)
XBJ (IATA) · OIMB (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code held at Birjand means the ramp is built to take a widebody hi-loader flush to galley height, not a trolley wheeled to the foot of the aircraft. That single fact governs how inflight catering moves here: sealed carts staged on schedule, cleared through one checkpoint, boarded on the same in-flight catering standard whether the mission is a scheduled sector, a government movement or a wide-body charter uplift.

Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Birjand (XBJ)
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at OIMB
Ramp access at Birjand is what turns a loading window into a fixed sequence rather than a guess: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen, clears one apron checkpoint, and reaches the galley door on a schedule fixed before the aircraft is on stand. Nothing about that sequence is estimated once the cart is moving, because the wide-body reference code held here fixes where the hi-loader sits against the fuselage before the first tray is loaded. A catering uplift at Birjand is timed from seal to signature, not from departure backward.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Birjand sit screening, an escort vehicle and apron traffic that shares the same taxi lanes as the aircraft being boarded. None of that is left to be worked out on the day: the convoy is the part of a catering uplift that carries the risk, not the galley catering itself, so the route and the escort are fixed before the cart leaves the dock. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed and logged again at handover, and the chain of custody closes with a signature at the galley door rather than at the ramp gate. That signature is what lets a captain accept the load without reopening a single tray.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature — nothing is handed over unrecorded.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Birjand airport
The flight kitchen that provisions XBJ runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed a wide-body rotation without breaking the load into separate runs. HACCP governs every stage from receiving to sealing, and the cold chain is unbroken from the walk-in to the cart that leaves for the ramp. Airport catering at OIMB and airport catering at Birjand both move through this single production line, which is what lets a multi-class order and a crew set leave on the same schedule.
The team that handles government flight catering at Birjand is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled for the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, access to the kitchen and the ramp is granted from a fixed list, and each is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires before the seal is ever broken. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, because a chain of custody is only as good as the hands that never change.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at OIMB / XBJ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Birjand (XBJ)
Menus at Birjand are built to the cabin and the mission first, then to the season: a scheduled sector runs a different cycle from a government movement or a wide-body charter, even when both board from the same kitchen on the same afternoon. Where the region's produce can be used, dairy, orchard fruit and grain sit in the specification without naming a dish or a source, because inflight catering here is written to a standing menu, not to an occasion. Every set carries a documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical profile, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it ever reaches the cart. That documentation, not the plate itself, is what a receiving crew actually checks against the manifest.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Birjand board to a written specification rather than a set menu, with à-la-carte and plated service available on request against the standing order filed for that rotation. VIP flight catering here is judged on whether the plate matches the file, not on the occasion it serves.
Business cabins
Business cabins at XBJ run a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals travel on the same cart, split into cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed against the roster filed for that sector.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at OIMB are documented per passenger before the seal is applied, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering produced against those codes runs on a separate line from the main cabin load, kept apart until it is sealed for its own cart.

Flight catering airside delivery at XBJ
Birjand carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways served by a wide-body-rated stand, which turns a delegation into a documentation exercise and a peak wave into a capacity exercise rather than a menu exercise. Both are planned the same way here: against the stand assignment, not against the terminal.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the ramp by hi-loader, boarded to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with our own cleared staff riding the escort rather than a borrowed handler crew. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Birjand all run off the same duty roster, and airport catering in Birjand is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, because the reference code fixes where the load meets the fuselage before the aircraft is even on the ground.
What we commit to at OIMB is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover that closes the loop before push-back.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Birjand airport
01
Government and state flight catering at XBJ
Our kitchen runs a 2902 m stand assignment at Birjand as the fixed point for every government flight catering rotation, so a delegation's protocol file is documented per passenger before the cart is sealed. Security-cleared staff hold the load until handover, and where a dedicated terminal serves head of state movements, the uplift is staged to it directly rather than through the general ramp queue.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Birjand
The 2902 m runway at Birjand carries the private airliners that royal flight catering here is built around, from a BBJ to a wide-body VVIP configuration, without a change of stand between movements. Household standards are held on a written specification kept on file between rotations, and halal and household dietary requirements are produced against it on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Birjand
A wide-body aircraft on an ACMI or wet-lease rotation is what the reference code held at Birjand is built to take, which is why charter flight catering here runs a full three-cabin uplift rather than a reduced load. Group movements and special missions are counted against the same loading sheet, and charter flight catering is staged in the order the galleys are laid out on board.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at OIMB
A 2902 m runway at Birjand, and that length is what keeps the wide-body traffic this station takes on ad hoc airline catering when a carrier runs the field as an outstation. Diversion catering and technical stop catering move off the same duty roster as a scheduled load, AOG included, and crew meals at Birjand board on the same cart as the passenger cabins across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at XBJ
On the same field as the wide-body stand, the reference code held at Birjand also covers the apron used for business aviation, so private jet catering at Birjand reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“I asked for aviation catering packaging at Birjand (XBJ/OIMB) because we had limited time to reset the galley. The order came ready for service with no unnecessary packaging or loose items to sort through. Good attention to the operational side of catering. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Aircraft catering questions at Birjand
Crew meals, lead times and access at OIMB / XBJ
What operations gets asked every week about Birjand.
Ask operations directly →Where can OIMB deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Our delivery record covers the whole field: private jet catering and FBO catering reach every FBO and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift, without naming any one handler.
When does Birjand handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering, and under what protocol?
Once a movement is confirmed, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under the same protocol file, documented per passenger and signed off before the cart is sealed.
Is halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes produced at Birjand Airport?
The coordinator on duty runs halal and kosher sets and the complete SPML range on a separate line, with every special meal documented per passenger before it leaves the kitchen.
Which factors set the airline catering cost at XBJ?
The loading method fixes most of the cost: cabin count, specification and the loading window all feed the quotation, since we publish no price list and the desk returns one figure for the rotation.
What does airside delivery by hi-loader mean for airline catering at OIMB?
We board every cart by hi-loader straight to galley height, so airline catering never sits at the foot of the aircraft waiting on a ramp trolley.
Does Birjand allow last minute airline catering, and how far in advance should an order be placed?
Every rotation has its own lead time logged against the loading window, and a specification can still change closer to departure than the initial order, on confirmation from the desk.
