Aviation catering — Lavan, Iran
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Lavan (OIBV / LVP)
LVP (IATA) · OIBV (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code governs every stand at Lavan, which sets the aircraft size and the loading plan for each rotation. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering from a kitchen close to the apron, boarding through the galley door by hi-loader for wide-body work and by ramp cart here, with uplift timed to the airside checkpoint.

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

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, LVP
Between the flight kitchen and the aircraft at Lavan, the catering uplift moves on a sealed cart under a fixed sequence: prepared, checked, loaded, signed for. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than requested case by case, so the convoy crosses the apron on a route agreed with the handling agent ahead of the rotation. What the timeline below shows is that route, not an estimate of it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at OIBV the risk sits with the convoy, not with the food: screening, escort and apron traffic all sit between the seal and the aircraft door. We plan the catering uplift against the slowest of them rather than the average, so a delay on the ramp does not become a delay at the galley catering point. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the chain of custody is closed with a signature naming who received the load at the aircraft. Nothing moves from the kitchen to the stand without that record travelling with it.
One seal, one route, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Lavan (LVP)
Airline food supplier crews cleared for OIBV
Airport catering at Lavan runs from a production kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to the HACCP standard the whole network runs to. That structure matters at a narrow-body field: without wide-body volume to absorb variation, the cold chain and the tray-set count have to be right on the first cart, not corrected on a second one. Airport catering in Iran depends on that same discipline holding at every station on this line, not only at the busiest.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Lavan is the same named crew across rotations, not a rotating pool drawn from wherever staff are free that day. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the airside route between kitchen and stand, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels sealed with a VVIP or state load. That continuity is what lets a protocol officer check the file once and trust the next rotation to match it.
VIP flight catering menus for Lavan, Iran departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Lavan airport
Menus at Lavan are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a government movement do not run off the same sheet. Produce drawn from Iran's coastal and inland supply — citrus, dates, dairy and fresh fish among them — sits alongside internationally sourced lines where a route calls for it, without either displacing the tray standard. Inflight catering at LVP is planned by season as much as by cabin, so a summer rotation and a winter one are not served the same load. Every set closes on documentation: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are logged per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP work at Lavan is plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed cycle, with à-la-carte and caviar service available where the mission calls for it. VIP flight catering here is filed against the same standing order between rotations, so the presentation on a repeat movement matches the one before it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OIBV run on multi-choice hot service, sized to oven-ready formats that fit the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals travel in the same tray sets: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and matched to the roster before the cart is sealed.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for every movement through Lavan, with halal and kosher sets produced to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is prepared on a separate line and sealed there before it joins the rest of the load.

Flight catering airside delivery at Lavan
Lavan works a single narrow-body reference code, which means every rotation through here is planned against one stand rather than a bank of them: a delegation becomes a documentation task, a peak departure becomes a sequencing task, and a repeat charter becomes a matter of matching the last load exactly. Airline catering at OIBV is built around that constraint rather than around volume, since there is no second stand to absorb a late change.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand on a sealed cart, moved under escort across the ramp and handed to the loading crew at the aircraft door; ground handling on the apron is coordinated with the crew already working the turnaround. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here run off the same route and the same paperwork, whatever the segment behind the booking.
What we commit to at this stand is one coordinator named to the rotation, carts sealed before they leave the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft closing the record.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at OIBV
01
Government and state flight catering at OIBV
A 2077 m runway sets the aircraft this field can turn around, which is the figure a protocol desk checks before booking a state movement into Lavan. Government flight catering here covers delegations, state visits and official movements to and from that runway, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift for any head of state movement sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at LVP
A private airliner within the reach of a 2077 m runway can be turned here, which is what lets a BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP movement route through Lavan rather than a larger field nearby. Royal flight catering at this station holds household standards across repeat rotations, worked from a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Lavan
On the narrow-body stand at Lavan, a single runway of 2077 m sets the aircraft an ACMI or wet-lease operator can bring in for a group movement or a special mission. Charter flight catering here delivers a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering for a repeat rotation is staged in the same galley order as the one before it.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at OIBV
The single narrow-body stand at Lavan takes one rotation at a time, so a carrier running this station as an outstation plans against that stand rather than against a bank of gates. We hold ad hoc airline catering ready for a diversion or a technical stop landing outside the published schedule, and outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the same duty roster as a scheduled departure, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at LVP
A narrow-body reference code limits the aircraft a GA movement through Lavan can bring in, which is the constraint a trip-support desk works around before confirming a stop here. Private jet catering at this station reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, run through our dedicated business aviation branch.

“For a last-minute requirement at Lavan (LVP/OIBV), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. It made the station much easier to manage. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Liam — Cabin Service Coordinator
“We booked airline catering in Lavan for a flight operating through LVP/OIBV. Communication was responsive and the team handled a late timing change without any issue. Good local support for a VIP operation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Government flight department
James — Delegation Flight Coordinator
