Aviation catering — Mahshahr, Iran
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Mahshahr (OIAM / MRX)
MRX (IATA) · OIAM (ICAO)
At Mahshahr, a 2,705 m runway serves the wide-body aerodrome reference code, so inflight catering here is planned for genuine wide-body movements rather than narrow-body diversions alone. Our hi-loader reaches straight to galley height, carrying the uplift airside without a stop at the foot of the aircraft, which is how in-flight catering stays sealed from kitchen to cabin door.

Catering uplift tracked from kitchen to galley at Mahshahr, Iran
The route from our sealed cart to the galley door at Mahshahr is measured, not promised, because ramp access is what actually decides when an aircraft is ready. Every load crosses the apron under our own escort rather than waiting on a shared trolley run, and the sequence is fixed before the aircraft is even on the stand. That fixed sequence is what lets a wide-body rotation at OIAM hold its schedule when the ramp gets busy.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Mahshahr sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and none of the three is left to chance on a catering uplift. We build the convoy timing around the worst of them, not the average, because the convoy itself is the risk, not the galley catering it carries. Every seal is logged with a temperature reading at closing and a second one at handover, and the chain of custody is signed at the aircraft, not back at the kitchen. That signature is what a ground handler and an ops desk both check first at MRX.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving MRX

Cleared crews behind government flight catering at OIAM / MRX
The flight kitchen behind Mahshahr's wide-body stand runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, with a separate protocol line kept apart from standard tray runs. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart that leaves for the ramp. That single-roof arrangement is what keeps airport catering at MRX consistent between a routine rotation and a short-notice charter, and it is the same reasoning behind airport catering at OIAM whenever volume spikes without warning.
The crew who handle government flight catering at this kitchen are the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for volume. Each holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the sealed area, and is trained to royal household standards as well as airline tray specification. That consistency is what lets a protocol officer at Mahshahr deal with one name across repeat movements instead of a different crew each time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at OIAM
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Mahshahr
Menus at Mahshahr are written to the cabin and the mission, not to a single fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a government movement are never served off the same sheet. Where regional produce is available, the specification draws on it in general terms, dairy and fish among them, without naming a supplier or a dish. Every set carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical information, labelled per passenger and per cabin so the galley crew can check it against the manifest. That documentation is what keeps inflight catering consistent whether the aircraft is on a scheduled slot or a diverted stop at OIAM.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Mahshahr are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, so caviar and à-la-carte service can be added on request without disrupting the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed against that specification cabin by cabin, so a repeat rotation is served the same way twice.

Business cabins
Business cabins at MRX receive multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized for the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, in tray sets that match the aircraft type rather than a generic size.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Mahshahr are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical needs on the same manifest as the rest of the cabin. Halal and kosher sets, and the IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, which is how inflight catering in Iran keeps a religious meal apart from a standard tray from first prep to final seal.

Aircraft catering under HACCP control at Mahshahr (MRX)
Flight catering airside delivery at Mahshahr (MRX)
Mahshahr handles a mix of scheduled, charter and government movements across its single 2,705 m runway, and a wide-body reference code that means every stand here is planned for full three-cabin loads rather than narrow-body volume. A delegation on that stand is a documentation problem before it is a food problem, and a peak wave is a capacity problem that has to be sequenced against one kitchen output.
The uplift itself moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded straight to galley height instead of being staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own loading crew on the ramp throughout. Airline catering at OIAM and in-flight catering at OIAM both run off that same sequence, and aviation catering at MRX is planned stand by stand rather than by a generic slot.
On every rotation here we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover at the aircraft, which is what keeps airport catering at Mahshahr consistent between a routine turnaround and an unscheduled one.

“A short-notice movement brought us into Mahshahr (MRX/OIAM), so we needed reliable contingency catering. They reacted quickly to revised timings and passenger numbers, and the handover was straightforward. Good support when timing is the main pressure point. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Ines — Airport Services Coordinator
“We used the service at Mahshahr (MRX/OIAM) for catering for airlines without flight kitchen on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Rayan — Airport Operations Lead
“We requested an airline catering quote for Mahshahr (MRX/OIAM) and appreciated how clear the pricing was. They answered our questions without overcomplicating the process and kept the final cost aligned with the confirmation. We appreciated the transparency. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at OIAM
Crew meals, lead times and access at OIAM
What operations gets asked every week about Mahshahr.
Ask operations directly →Can we get private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at MRX?
Every FBO catering request at Mahshahr goes through the same dispatch desk, so business aircraft on the field and aircraft parked at the GA terminal are both reached without a separate booking process.
How are halal, kosher and special meal codes handled at OIAM?
OIAM produces halal and kosher sets on a separate sealed line, and every SPML code from the IATA special meals list is documented per passenger before it leaves that line.
With one runway and a wide-body reference code, how much does airline catering cost at Mahshahr?
There is no fixed price list for airline catering cost here, because the figure depends on cabin count, the meal specification and the loading window agreed with our ops desk, which returns a quotation once those details are set.
What is the lead time for an order at Mahshahr Airport, and how far in advance does a specification need to be locked?
We work to a standing lead time for a full order but can still take a last minute airline catering change closer to departure, provided the galley specification is confirmed before the cart is sealed.
MRX operators ask whether airline catering is delivered airside, and how the uplift reaches the aircraft here?
The hi-loader carries every uplift directly to galley height, so airline catering at MRX is delivered by airside delivery straight to the stand rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.
