Aviation catering — Lamerd, Iran
Lamerd (OISR / LFM): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
LFM (IATA) · OISR (ICAO)
At a station holding a 3054 m runway rated to the wide-body reference code, Lamerd takes the aircraft that most fields nearby cannot, which is why our inflight catering here is built around hi-loader boarding rather than kerbside handoff. Uplift moves straight to galley height off the ramp, and in-flight catering for scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements runs from one ops desk, airside, on call.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Lamerd, Iran
Per rotation, the loading window at Lamerd runs from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the stand, and it is measured, not promised. Ramp access lets our crews take the apron route instead of a landside queue, so the catering uplift reaches the aircraft on one continuous chain. Nothing here is estimated: the sequence is timed the same way on every rotation through OISR.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Lamerd sit a security screening point, an escort requirement and ordinary apron traffic, and the chain of custody for each catering uplift is planned against the worst of those three, not the best. Every galley catering run is logged at the seal and again at the handover, with a temperature reading taken both times and recorded against the load. A named coordinator signs the load on and off the aircraft, so the record at Lamerd tracks one accountable person from kitchen to galley, not a shared ramp ticket.
One coordinator signs the load from our sealed kitchen cart to the aircraft galley.
Crew meals from the flight kitchen serving OISR

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for OISR / LFM
The flight kitchen behind Lamerd runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to load-out. Airport catering here depends on that single-site model: nothing crosses a second gate between preparation and the sealed cart, which keeps the cold chain intact for the whole run to the ramp. That is what airport catering at OISR is measured against, station by station, not against a menu.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Lamerd is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in on the day. Each member carries security clearance on file and sits on a fixed access list, trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift has to travel with. That continuity is what keeps catering at OISR auditable movement after movement, whatever the mission on the apron that day.
VIP flight catering menus for OISR departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Lamerd
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission first, and to the calendar second: what boards a wide-body VIP movement is not what boards a scheduled rotation, even on the same day. Produce is sourced within Iran where the specification allows it, drawing on regional dairy, orchard fruit and fish rather than a fixed dish list. Every tray carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical coding, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. That structure is what inflight catering at Lamerd is built to hold, rotation after rotation, regardless of notice.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Lamerd are plated to a written specification held on file, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than as a fixed add-on. VIP flight catering here is checked against that standing order before it leaves the kitchen, not against a general brochure menu.

Business cabins
Business cabins move on multi-choice hot service, built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, packed as tray sets rather than loose trays. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and coded to the roster, so pilot meals never share a tray with the cabin service at LFM.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger rather than by cabin block, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full IATA special meal code range. Each of those trays is produced on a separate line at OISR and sealed before it leaves that line, keeping inflight catering traceable meal by meal.

Compliance
HACCP-compliant aircraft catering at Lamerd (LFM)
Airport catering delivered airside at Lamerd (LFM)
A single 3054 m runway and a wide-body reference code define the traffic Lamerd actually takes, which means every rotation here carries the documentation weight of a wide-body movement rather than the light paperwork of a regional hop. A repeat charter or a state movement through this field is a repetition problem for catering as much as a capacity one: the same specification has to hold, cart after cart, across every return leg.
Uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the whole sequence. Airside delivery at Lamerd follows that one route regardless of which segment is flying, so the loading method does not change with the customer.
We commit to the same load on every rotation through this station: one coordinator, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft, whether the booking behind it is airline catering, aviation catering or a one-off in-flight catering request built around a diversion.

“We arranged group charter catering for the group at Lamerd (LFM/OISR) after a late schedule update. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. We would book them again for another team movement. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Ines — Station Operations Supervisor
“For an urgent mission at Lamerd (LFM/OISR), the team supported us with evacuation flight catering. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Grace — Private Jet Operations Manager
“Our freighter crew needed cargo airline crew catering at Lamerd (LFM/OISR) during a short turnaround. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. Good service for freighter crews and odd-hour schedules. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at OISR
Diversion catering and ramp questions at OISR
What operations gets asked every week about Lamerd.
Ask operations directly →Which protocols govern VIP flight catering, VVIP and government flight catering at Lamerd?
Loading runs by hi-loader cart straight to galley height, under a chain of custody sealed at our kitchen and logged again at handover, with protocol documentation carried per passenger.
How is airline catering delivered airside at LFM?
LFM traffic is boarded by hi-loader directly to the galley door on the stand, not delivered to the foot of the aircraft, so airline catering here follows one ramp route regardless of carrier.
When can private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at OISR?
Once a movement is confirmed at OISR, FBO catering is dispatched on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, coordinated with the ramp handler on the field.
What does airline catering cost for a rotation through Lamerd?
We price against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window booked for that rotation, so airline catering cost is confirmed by quotation rather than a published rate card.
Is there a minimum lead time for an order at Lamerd, and how late can it change?
Our coordinator confirms how far in advance a standard order needs to be placed, and will still take a last minute airline catering change once the loading window allows it.
