Aviation catering — Kerman, Iran
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Kerman (OIKK / KER)
KER (IATA) · OIKK (ICAO)
A 3851 m runway holds a wide-body reference code at Kerman, which sets the tray count, the trolley plan and the stand assignment before a single cart leaves the kitchen. That capacity is what makes inflight catering here a matter of hi-loader boarding to galley height rather than a delivery to the tarmac, with in-flight catering staged for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet movements under one ops desk, uplift after uplift.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Kerman (KER)
A wide-body reference code at OIKK sets the loading sequence: the sealed cart clears the kitchen, crosses the apron under ramp access held on our own badges, and is boarded at the galley door before the crew signs it off. Every catering uplift here is timed against that same sequence rather than an estimate, and the timeline against it is what a duty manager actually plans a rotation on. Nothing about the sequence changes for a diversion or a technical stop.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Kerman sit screening, an escorted apron crossing and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp, and none of them are treated as a formality on a catering uplift bound for a wide-body galley. We plan the chain of custody against the slowest of those steps rather than the fastest, which is why the timeline shown here reflects a worked sequence and not a hope.
Temperature is logged at the kitchen when the cart is sealed and again at the aircraft when the load is handed over, so galley catering leaves a record at both ends of the crossing. A named handler signs at the galley door, closing the load against the same sheet that opened it at the kitchen.

Flight kitchen and crew meals for OIKK

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Kerman, Iran
A wide-body reference code at Kerman means the kitchen that provisions OIKK is built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell working to one HACCP standard under a single roof. Airport catering in Kerman is planned against that same wide-body scale, not scaled down for a lighter rotation, so a full three-cabin load and a single ad hoc uplift draw on the same cold chain and the same production line. That is what airport catering at Kerman is built to hold, movement after movement, without a separate process for the exceptional case.
Aerodrome reference code wide-body at Kerman puts the same named team on every sensitive rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Government flight catering at OIKK is handled by staff carrying security clearance on file, listed on the access list and trained to royal household standards before they touch a sealed cart. The paperwork that travels with the uplift is checked by the same people who sealed it, not handed off partway through the chain of custody.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at KER
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at OIKK / KER
Inflight catering at OIKK is planned to the cabin fitted on the aircraft, the mission it is flying and the season it departs in, rather than to a single fixed menu run at every stand. Iran's produce informs the sourcing where the mission allows it, with dairy, orchard fruit and regional grains worked into the specification rather than a single imported standard. A VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu are written from the same kitchen, on the same cold chain, so a delegation and a wet-lease rotation are never treated as two separate operations. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, and travel sealed with the rest of the load.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Kerman are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with VIP flight catering covering caviar and à-la-carte service on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same brief every time it lands.

Business cabins
Business cabins at OIKK take multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, with oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so crew meals at KER never draw on the passenger tray count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Kerman are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Kerman produces these on a separate line and seals them before they leave the kitchen, so a household or medical requirement never shares a tray run with the standard cabin load.

Flight catering airside delivery at Kerman airport
Kerman carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code across two runways, the longest running 3851 metres, which places it among the fields able to take a full-size widebody on a scheduled, charter or government rotation rather than a lighter regional type. That reference code is what a delegation, a peak charter wave or a repeat rotation is planned against here: a delegation is worked as a documentation problem, a wave of movements as a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation as a matter of holding the same specification each time it lands.
Airline catering leaves our kitchen on a route built for this stand count, crossing the apron under ramp access held on our own badges before hi-loader boarding at the galley door. Inflight catering and in-flight catering run off the same ops desk that plans aviation catering across every movement type here, so a scheduled service and an ad hoc charter are loaded from the same sequence, never a separate one.
On every stand we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so airport catering at Kerman closes on the same paperwork it opened on.

“Our ops team used the service at Kerman (KER/OIKK) as an airline ops catering supplier. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

We had a smooth experience from order to delivery. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

All requirements were followed and the cabin crew could see immediately which meal belonged to which passenger. A good experience with complex dietary requests. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Aircraft catering questions at Kerman airport
Technical stop catering questions at KER
What operations gets asked every week about Kerman.
Ask operations directly →How does KER handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering?
KER takes VIP flight catering and government flight catering under one protocol file, with staff carrying security clearance on file for the full rotation, from arrival on the access list to the signed handover at the aircraft.
Which special meal sets does OIKK produce?
The cart route from our kitchen to the stand at OIKK carries halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes, produced on a separate SPML line and documented per passenger before sealing.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at Kerman?
Yes, by hi-loader straight to the galley door, so airside delivery replaces a foot-of-aircraft handover on every rotation worked at Kerman.
When must an order be placed for Kerman Airport?
When a rotation is confirmed, the lead time is set from the loading window backwards, and a specification can still change closer to departure than a first booking suggests.
Can you give a fixed airline catering cost at KER?
The span a quotation turns on runs from cabin count and specification to the loading window itself, since no price list is published and the ops desk returns a figure once those are known.
