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.

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.

Four branded catering carts latched side by side in an aircraft galley, each door closed on a coloured seal.

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.

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.

01
Government and state flight catering at Kerman
On a wide-body reference code, Kerman takes the aircraft size that a head of state movement or a state delegation typically flies, which is what government flight catering here is built around rather than a lighter charter type. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff carry security clearance on file, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at OIKK
A wide-body reference code sets the loading plan a royal household movement is worked to at Kerman, since the private airliner types it typically flies are the same ones the stands here are built for. Royal flight catering is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at KER
3851 metres of runway, and a full three-cabin charter load is never turned away for lack of length on this ramp. Charter flight catering in Kerman covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and multi-leg special missions, with charter flight catering at KER counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out on each aircraft type.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Kerman
A wide-body reference code at Kerman puts a full-size widebody on the same stand count that a scheduled carrier or an ad hoc movement draws on here, so ad hoc airline catering and a standing outstation contract are worked from the same loading sheet rather than two separate ones. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering are each planned against that stand capacity, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation without a change of kitchen.

Private jet and FBO catering at OIKK
Our kitchen works the same 3851 m runway approach for a business jet rotation as it does for a wide-body one, and private jet catering at KER is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal from that single production line. Business aviation catering and business jet catering run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, so FBO catering here is never a separate process.

“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 booked VIP flight catering in Kerman for a flight operating through KER/OIKK. The menu selection was good and all special requests were clearly identified. 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.”

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.
