Aviation catering — Khiyaroo, Iran

Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Khiyaroo (OIBP / PGU)

PGU (IATA) · OIBP (ICAO)

Our kitchen boards the wide-body reference code held at Khiyaroo (OIBP), Iran, moving inflight catering onto three cabins through the galley door rather than the kitchen door. Hi-loader boarding lifts every uplift to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet movements, and in-flight catering here runs from a single ops desk airside, day and night.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Khiyaroo, Iran

The route between our kitchen and the aircraft at Khiyaroo is walked in a fixed order, sealed cart to galley, never estimated on the day. Ramp access is held on our own clearance so the convoy does not wait behind unrelated traffic on the way to the stand. Every catering uplift into the wide-body reference code held here follows that same order, load after load.

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 Khiyaroo sit screening, an escort through the apron, and the ordinary churn of ramp traffic around the wide-body reference code held here. We plan the galley catering run against the worst of that, not the average of it, so a hold at the checkpoint never becomes a hold at the aircraft. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at the galley door, and the catering uplift closes on a signed handover that ties both readings to the load and to the chain of custody that carried it.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at OIBP / PGU

Airport catering at Khiyaroo runs from one facility rather than a chain of subcontracted kitchens, so hot production, pastry, a cold larder and the protocol cell for VIP and government work sit under a single roof answering to the wide-body reference code held at OIBP. That layout is what lets airport catering in Khiyaroo move a multi-class order through one line instead of several, cutting the handoffs between where a tray is built and where it is sealed. Production runs to HACCP, and the cold chain that starts in that kitchen is the same one the loading window later measures to the stand.

The team behind government flight catering at PGU is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the wide-body reference code held here, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects on arrival. That continuity is what keeps a sealed uplift moving through Khiyaroo without a new team relearning the protocol file each time.

VIP flight catering and dietary sets at OIBP

Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Khiyaroo

Menus for the wide-body reference code held at Khiyaroo are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than issued from one fixed book. Inflight catering here draws on regional dairy, orchard fruit, fish and grain to build the seasonal frame, adjusted cabin by cabin rather than served identically front to back. A VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu run from the same kitchen but follow separate specifications, one built around a standing order, the other around a single rotation. Every set closes on a documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical list, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed for boarding.

First & VVIP cabins

First and VVIP cabins at Khiyaroo are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu book, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against that standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeated the same way on every rotation, so the presentation matches what the standing order records.

Business cabins

Business cabins at OIBP take multi-choice hot service built to the cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from the passenger trays and boarded against the same roster the galley crew works from.

Diet.

Protocol & dietary

Protocol and dietary requirements at Khiyaroo are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line at the kitchen so it never shares a bench with the standard passenger service.

Flight catering airside delivery at Khiyaroo (PGU)

Khiyaroo carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body reference code, and that mix sets three different problems for the same kitchen: a delegation is a documentation problem before it is a food problem, a peak wave of arrivals is a capacity problem measured against one stand, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition problem solved by keeping one specification on file rather than rebuilding it each time.

The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by escorted convoy to the ramp, where airline catering at Khiyaroo is boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft. Airport catering in Iran run this way keeps the loading crew on our own badges from kitchen gate to galley door, so ramp access is never negotiated fresh on the day. Aviation catering at OIBP and in-flight catering in Khiyaroo answer to that same convoy, whatever the cabin count on the manifest.

What we commit to on this station is a single named coordinator per rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen and opened only at the galley, and a signed handover that closes the load against the loading sheet; inflight catering in Iran is run to that same commitment wherever the aircraft is registered.

Government and state flight catering at PGU
A head of state aircraft is one of the movements the wide-body reference code at Khiyaroo is built to take, and government flight catering here follows it in with the protocol file documented per passenger before departure. Security-cleared staff seal the uplift at the kitchen, and the dedicated handling this traffic receives keeps the chain of custody unbroken from seal to signature.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Khiyaroo
On the ramp at Khiyaroo, the 3997 m runway is what lets a private airliner such as a BBJ, an ACJ or a wide-body VIP aircraft operate the same rotation as a scheduled service. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat movements from a written specification kept on file, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against it on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at OIBP
A full three-cabin load has to be staged in the order the galleys are laid out, and the 3997 m runway at Khiyaroo is what admits the wide-body charter and ACMI aircraft that load carries. Charter flight catering here counts each tray set against the loading sheet, and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions all board under that same charter flight catering discipline.

Airline and ad hoc catering at PGU
The wide-body reference code held at Khiyaroo governs how a stand is allocated to an outstation carrier at short notice, and that same allocation covers a technical stop as readily as a scheduled rotation. Ad hoc airline catering runs off one duty roster here, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all drawing from the same sealed stock, AOG included, across a multi-leg routing.

Private jet and FBO catering at Khiyaroo
The runway at Khiyaroo runs to 3997 metres, which is enough to bring wide-body traffic onto the same apron that business aviation uses for its own arrivals and departures. Private jet catering here reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as FBO catering handled for a business aviation catering or business jet catering booking.

What operations gets asked every week about Khiyaroo.

Ask operations directly →
Given the documentation a royal or government file demands, are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced at PGU, and how are they recorded?

There are dedicated halal and kosher lines at this kitchen, and every SPML code ordered against a booking is logged per passenger before the cart is sealed.

At OIBP, do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?

The same hi-loader and ramp vehicles that board an airline rotation also run FBO catering out to the GA terminal, so a business aviation order travels on the same sealed equipment as a scheduled uplift.

Whose uplift reaches the aircraft airside at Khiyaroo, and how does it get there?

For every movement at this station, airline catering is boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height under our own airside delivery clearance, not handed off at the foot of the aircraft.

Do you take orders on short notice, or does a specification need to be locked well ahead at Khiyaroo Airport?

Yes, by working two lead times in parallel: a standard order confirmed well in advance and a shorter window held open for last minute airline catering changes to the specification.
