Aviation catering — Omidiyeh, Iran
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Omidiyeh (OIAG / AKW)
AKW (IATA) · OIAG (ICAO)
A 2113 m runway at Omidiyeh sets the ceiling for what this station boards, and inflight catering here is built to fill that ceiling without slowing a rotation. AERO GOURMET runs hi-loader boarding to galley height for wide-body work, moving in-flight catering airside from a sealed kitchen route rather than handing trays across a truck tailgate at the foot of the aircraft.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Omidiyeh airport
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at AKW
Ramp access is what the loading window at Omidiyeh actually measures: the interval from a sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the galley door closing on the apron. Every catering uplift here is logged against that interval rather than against an estimate, so a delay on the ramp shows up before it reaches the aircraft. The single runway and its narrow-body reference code set the tempo the whole window is built to hold.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Omidiyeh sit screening, an escort through the checkpoint and whatever traffic is working the apron that hour, and none of it is left to chance on a catering uplift. We plan the route against the worst case of each, not the average one, so the galley catering reaches the door inside the window regardless of what else is moving on the ramp. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, and the load is not released to the aircraft without a signature closing the chain of custody on both ends.
One sealed route, one signature, from the kitchen seal to the aircraft door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Omidiyeh (AKW)

Cleared crews behind government flight catering at OIAG
The flight kitchen that provisions AKW runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed a rotation without splitting the load across sites. HACCP governs every stage from intake to sealing, so airport catering leaving the building is already logged before it reaches the ramp. That single-site model is what lets airport catering in Omidiyeh keep pace with a wide-body turnaround on a single runway.
The team that handles government flight catering at AKW is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled in for the occasion. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or diplomatic movement requires. That continuity is what keeps catering at AKW consistent between one delegation's departure and the next one's arrival.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Omidiyeh, Iran
VVIP catering to a written specification at Omidiyeh airport
Menus at Omidiyeh are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed list, drawing on the country's dairy, orchard fruit and fish where the route and the season allow it. Inflight catering in Iran gives the kitchen a regional base to design from, without pinning the tray set to one dish or one source. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, not decided at the galley door. The result travels as a specification, not an approximation, from the kitchen to the aircraft.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Omidiyeh: VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation is served the same way twice.

Business cabins
Business cabins at AKW run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals in Iran, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger tray sets and loaded to the roster, not to the seat count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at OIAG are documented per passenger before departure: halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and household or medical requirements handled the same way. Inflight catering at AKW produces every set on a separate line and seals it before it leaves the kitchen.

Airside airport catering at Omidiyeh
Omidiyeh works a mixed traffic profile against a single runway and a narrow-body reference code, which means catering here is planned around one stand doing several jobs rather than several stands sharing the load: a delegation on one rotation is a documentation problem, a charter wave on the next is a capacity problem, and the kitchen has to answer both from the same production line. Airline catering at OIAG and airport catering at Omidiyeh are scheduled stand by stand rather than by a fixed slot grid.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, moved from the kitchen on a sealed route with our own escort onto the apron rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at OIAG and aviation catering at AKW run off one ops desk that tracks the cart from seal to signature, and inflight catering in Omidiyeh is logged against that same route on every rotation, whatever the traffic mix that day.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator named to the rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover that closes the chain of custody before the aircraft pushes back.

“We used the team at Omidiyeh (AKW/OIAG) for contingency catering after an unexpected operational change. They reacted quickly to revised timings and passenger numbers, and the handover was straightforward. A dependable option for irregular operations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Tariq — Flight Support Executive
“We used the service at Omidiyeh (AKW/OIAG) for airline catering at outstations 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.”

Aircraft catering questions at Omidiyeh, Iran
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Omidiyeh, Iran
What operations gets asked every week about Omidiyeh.
Ask operations directly →When are halal, kosher and other special meals produced for flights from Omidiyeh?
When the passenger manifest confirms requirements, halal, kosher and every IATA special meal code (SPML) requested are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
Which FBOs does Omidiyeh's airport handle private jet catering for?
The route runs by sealed cart from our kitchen to whichever FBO or GA terminal apron is handling the movement, so FBO catering and private jet catering reach every operator on the field on the same paperwork.
Can you deliver airline catering airside at AKW?
Yes: airside delivery here is by hi-loader to galley height rather than to the foot of the aircraft, moved on a sealed route with our own escort onto the apron.
Where is the order confirmed before a rotation departs OIAG?
The confirmed specification and lead time sit on the loading sheet issued once the order is placed; how far in advance that has to happen depends on cabin count and mission, and last minute airline catering is worked case by case against the loading window still open on the schedule.
