Aviation catering — Khoram Abad, Iran

Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Khoram Abad (OICK / KHD)

KHD (IATA) · OICK (ICAO)

A wide-body reference code sets what boards here, and it clears a full three-cabin uplift rather than a narrow-body galley alone. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Khoram Abad, boarding by hi-loader to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights, with the kitchen holding the uplift ready for the stand.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.

Airport catering order window at OICK / KHD

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Khoram Abad (KHD)

A wide-body reference code holds the ramp access we build the loading window around, since a full three-cabin lift cannot be staged the way a single-aisle uplift is. Every catering uplift at Khoram Abad moves under escort from the sealed cart to the apron, timed against the same boarding sequence each rotation. The window closes at the galley door, not at the foot of the stand, because that is where the load is signed for.

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 Khoram Abad sit screening, an escort convoy and apron traffic, and the chain of custody is planned against the worst case each of those can throw at a rotation rather than the average one. A catering uplift that meets a hold is still logged against its temperature record, sealed cart by sealed cart, so the galley catering that finally boards carries a full history rather than a gap.

Each seal is checked against its log at handover, and the signature closing the load is the same one that opened it at the kitchen door, so nothing changes hands unrecorded between OICK and the aircraft.

One seal, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley at Khoram Abad.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Khoram Abad, Iran

The flight kitchen behind Khoram Abad runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to hold a full wide-body load rather than a single narrow-body set. Airport catering at KHD moves on HACCP-run lines with the cold chain logged from the moment a tray is sealed, so airport catering leaving this kitchen carries its own temperature record before it reaches the apron. Every cart that goes out is built to the boarding sequence, not assembled after it.

The team that handles government flight catering at this kitchen is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and standing on the access list rather than rotating in from a general roster. They are trained to household service standards and to the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift, from the kitchen seal to the signature at the aircraft. Nobody outside that list touches a VVIP or state load.

Halal airline meals and special meals at KHD

VVIP catering written per mission at OICK / KHD

Menus at Khoram Abad are written to the cabin and the mission first, and only then to the season, so a First cabin tray set and a main-cabin meal box never share a specification even when they board the same rotation. Where Iranian produce sits in the sourcing plan, dairy, orchard fruit and regional grains are drawn on in general terms, never named to a supplier or a dish. Inflight catering here runs from passenger meal boxes through to a VVIP tray, each cycle documented and filed before it leaves the kitchen. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are labelled per passenger and per cabin, never assumed from a general list.

First & VVIP cabins

First and VVIP cabins at Khoram Abad are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single fixed course order. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so each presentation repeats exactly on the next rotation.

Business cabins

Business cabins at KHD run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready tray sets sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boarded on the same schedule as the forward cabin. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in their own crew meal boxes, boxed to the roster rather than to the passenger count.

Diet.

Protocol & dietary

Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Khoram Abad, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line before they are sealed. The full set of IATA special meal codes is worked from that same line, so inflight catering here keeps every dietary set traceable back to its passenger record.

Flight catering airside delivery at Khoram Abad airport

Khoram Abad works a mixed traffic profile against a single wide-body reference code, which turns a scheduled rotation, a charter block and an occasional delegation movement into three different planning problems on the same stand: one is a documentation exercise, one is a capacity exercise, one is a repetition exercise, and the kitchen schedules against all three rather than one.

The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by escorted convoy to the stand, where it is boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Khoram Abad run off the same ops desk, and airport catering at OICK is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, with airline catering in Khoram Abad held to the boarding order set for that rotation.

One coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, and the handover at the aircraft closes the same record that was opened at the kitchen door.

Government and state flight catering at Khoram Abad
A 3200 m runway carries the class of aircraft that state and diplomatic movements typically use through KHD, and government flight catering here is built around that traffic rather than around a general commercial schedule. Head of state movements are worked from a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at OICK
A private airliner on a household rotation is boarded here against the same wide-body reference code that clears a scheduled service, which is what lets a BBJ or ACJ movement keep its own written specification between visits. Royal flight catering at Khoram Abad holds that specification on file across repeat rotations, with halal and household requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at KHD
On the wide-body stands at Khoram Abad, a 3200 m runway is what lets a full charter airframe sit down alongside scheduled traffic without a special dispensation. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering staged in the order the galleys are laid out and counted against the loading sheet before departure.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Khoram Abad
The wide-body reference code held at Khoram Abad lets a carrier route a diversion or a technical stop through this station without downgrading the tray standard it flies with elsewhere. We run ad hoc airline catering off the same duty roster as scheduled outstation catering, with diversion catering and technical stop catering covered on the same call, crew meals in Khoram Abad boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at OICK
A wide-body reference code is built for a full three-cabin lift, so a business jet movement is sequenced around that larger uplift rather than dropped into a gap in it. Private jet catering at Khoram Abad reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, delivered on the same cold chain and business aviation catering paperwork as an airline uplift, business jet catering included.

Scheduled airline

“For a government operation through Khoram Abad (KHD/OICK), we required discreet head of state aircraft catering. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. A professional service for movements where discretion matters. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at KHD

Diversion catering and ramp questions at KHD

What operations gets asked every week about Khoram Abad.

Ask operations directly →
At what point does KHD airline catering move airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?

The cart clears screening at the kitchen door and moves under escort to the stand, where the load is boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft for airside delivery.

How much does airline catering cost at OICK?

Airline catering cost here rests on the cabin count, the written specification and the loading window booked for the rotation, so the desk comes back with a quotation once those are confirmed rather than working from a fixed list.

Can an order still change close to departure at Khoram Abad?

Lead time is set at booking, and how far in advance a specification is confirmed determines how late it can still move; last minute airline catering is worked case by case against the loading window still open.

Do you produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at Khoram Abad Airport?

Yes, on a separate production line: halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes are produced there and documented per passenger before sealing.

KHD — do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?

The hi-loader that boards a scheduled service also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, under a protocol file that documents security clearance and the sealed handover for every VVIP or state movement.
