Aviation catering — Hamadan, Iran
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Hamadan (OIHH / HDM)
HDM (IATA) · OIHH (ICAO)
With a 3234 m runway available, Hamadan takes wide-body movements that need a wide-body reference-code stand rather than a narrow apron slot, which is what lets scheduled, charter, government and private jet flights uplift here on one ops desk. Inflight catering and in-flight catering move by hi-loader to galley height, with the flight kitchen close enough to the ramp that in-flight catering stays sealed from door to door.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, OIHH
What happens between our kitchen and the aircraft here is worked to a fixed sequence rather than to a guess, sealed cart out, ramp access held, hi-loader raised to galley height. The catering uplift is staged against the loading sheet so the crew never waits on a tray set that has not cleared screening. Every stage of that sequence stays inside the same chain of custody, from the kitchen seal to the signature at the door.
Between our kitchen and the stand at OIHH sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and a wide-body rotation gives that convoy less slack than a smaller aircraft would. We plan the galley catering run against the worst case on each of those three, not the average one, so a delay on the ramp does not become a delay on the tray set. Temperatures are logged when the catering uplift is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, and the load is closed with a signature that ties the two readings together.
One sealed load, one signature, from the kitchen seal to the aircraft door.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for OIHH
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Hamadan airport
The flight kitchen behind Hamadan runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard and staffed to move a full wide-body load without splitting it across two runs. Airport catering at HDM is planned around that single-roof model, because a wide-body reference code means the covers for one rotation can be large enough to need every section of the kitchen working at once. Airport catering at OIHH and the flight kitchen at HDM answer to the same cold chain from production through to the sealed cart.
The team that handles government flight catering here is the same named crew on every rotation, security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the household standards a protocol officer expects from a sealed uplift. That continuity is what lets a repeat state or royal movement be planned against a known crew rather than a new one each time. Nothing about the chain of custody changes between one rotation and the next.
Halal airline meals and special meals at OIHH / HDM
VVIP catering written per mission at Hamadan (HDM)
Menus at this station are built to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed list, moving from a plated VIP flight menu at the front of the aircraft to tray-set service further back, with the season setting what is on either. Inflight catering in Hamadan draws on the produce of the wider Iranian plateau where the facts allow it, working dairy, orchard fruit and grain into a cabin-appropriate menu without naming a single dish or a single grower. Charter flight menus and VIP flight menus are written on the same production line, adjusted for the mission length and the number of passengers travelling. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed for loading.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Hamadan carry VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set list. Each plate is checked against that specification before it is sealed, so presentation at OIHH matches what was agreed on the standing order.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Hamadan run multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft in question. Crew meals in Iran travel on the same tray-set run, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately and matched to the duty roster before crew meals at OIHH leave the kitchen.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at OIHH are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line. The full range of IATA special meal codes is available, and each tray is sealed before it leaves that line, ready for inflight catering in Iran to load it straight onto the aircraft it was built for.

Flight catering airside delivery at HDM
Hamadan takes scheduled, charter and government traffic against a single wide-body reference code, which means a delegation, a peak wave and a repeat charter rotation are all planned onto the same stand rather than spread across several. That single-stand model turns a delegation into a documentation problem first, ahead of a capacity one, because the protocol paperwork has to clear before the aircraft does.
The uplift travels from the flight kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, raised straight to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover. Airline catering at OIHH and airport catering in Hamadan both run off that same route, so inflight catering at HDM and any ad hoc addition to the load follow the same escorted path onto the aircraft.
On every rotation we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so aviation catering in Iran carried through this station closes with the same paperwork whichever segment the flight belongs to.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at Hamadan airport
01
Government and state flight catering at OIHH
The wide-body reference code held at this station lets a full state delegation board as one uplift rather than several partial loads, which keeps the protocol file for a head of state movement attached to a single load instead of being split across runs. Government flight catering at Hamadan is documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, ready for the dedicated handling a state visit requires.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at HDM
Our crews work to a written household specification kept on file between movements, and the wide-body reference code held here means that specification carries across from one rotation to the next without being rebuilt each time. Royal flight catering at Hamadan extends to private airliners such as BBJ, ACJ and other wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and further household dietary requirements produced on request under the same royal household standard.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Hamadan
The wide-body reference code held at this station carries a full three-cabin uplift on the single stand, counted against the loading sheet before the hi-loader moves. Charter flight catering at HDM serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions including repatriation and humanitarian work, with charter flight catering in Iran staged in the order the galleys are laid out for a multi-leg rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at OIHH
A single wide-body reference code at this station means every scheduled and ad hoc rotation is sequenced onto one stand, so outstation catering here is planned around that one slot rather than split across several. Ad hoc airline catering at HDM covers diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, AOG included, with ad hoc catering at HDM and crew meals in Iran carried on the same multi-leg rotation, and crew meals at OIHH boxed to the roster that travels with it.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at HDM
Business airliners and smaller private jets using the GA terminal at this station are worked from the same wide-body-cleared kitchen run that supplies the main ramp, since the reference code held here does not limit which aircraft class the kitchen can serve. Private jet catering at Hamadan reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering, business jet catering and business aviation catering carried on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
