Aviation catering — Rasht, Iran
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Rasht (OIGG / RAS)
RAS (IATA) · OIGG (ICAO)
Our kitchen boards Rasht's wide-body reference stand directly, with a hi-loader lifting sealed carts to galley height rather than leaving trolleys at the foot of the aircraft. That single piece of equipment is what turns inflight catering here into a boarding operation rather than a delivery one, and it is why in-flight catering for scheduled, charter, government and private movements runs off the same ramp routine at Rasht.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Rasht (RAS)
Ramp access is what the loading window at Rasht actually measures: the interval from the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the moment it clears the galley door on the wide-body stand. Every catering uplift at OIGG is logged against that interval rather than against an estimate, because the apron and its traffic are what decide whether a hi-loader reaches the aircraft on schedule. The figure printed alongside this note is the one our ops desk works to on every rotation through Rasht.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Rasht sit screening, an escort through the apron and whatever traffic is holding on the taxiways that morning, and every catering uplift is planned against the worst of those three rather than the best. The chain of custody stays with one coordinator from the moment the galley catering is sealed until the cart is handed over at the aircraft, with nothing changing owners in between. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and the load is not closed out until both readings and the signature are on file.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving Rasht
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Rasht, Iran
Airport catering at Rasht runs from one kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, so a wide-body rotation and a household movement are worked from the same cold chain rather than two separate operations. HACCP governs every stage between that kitchen and the stand, from intake through to the sealed cart. That single-site structure is what lets airport catering here move from a scheduled tray run to a government uplift without changing kitchens or crews.
The team that handles government flight catering at Rasht is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and standing on the access list before a cart is ever loaded. They are trained to household service standards as well as to airline tray specifications, so the same staff can turn from a scheduled uplift to a protocol movement without a handover to another team. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, before any figure on this page.
Halal airline meals and special meals at RAS
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at OIGG / RAS
Menus at Rasht are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted through the seasons rather than fixed to a single fixed cycle. Where a rotation calls for local sourcing, our kitchen draws on the produce of the wider region around Rasht — dairy, orchard fruit, fish from the coast nearby — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish. Inflight catering in Rasht is planned this way across every cabin, from a single tray run to a full three-class uplift, with the same standard applied whichever class is loaded. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and labelled through to the galley rather than left to the crew to sort on board.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Rasht are plated to a written specification rather than to a fixed course order, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so the same presentation repeats movement after movement without being re-briefed each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OIGG run a multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets, sized to the fitted galley rather than to a generic format. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew meals travel apart from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for every departure out of Rasht, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line before they are sealed. Inflight catering here covers the full range of IATA special meal codes, each one labelled and tracked back to the passenger it was built for.

Flight catering airside delivery at Rasht airport
Rasht's single wide-body-rated runway, at 2,917 metres, sets the traffic this station actually sees: scheduled and charter movements sized to that reference code, government and delegation flights that arrive without warning, and repeat rotations that come back on the same schedule week after week. A delegation is a documentation problem before it is a kitchen problem; a peak departure wave is a stand-timing problem; a repeat rotation is a repetition problem, and each is planned differently even when the tray count is the same.
Airline catering at RAS moves by hi-loader from our kitchen to the stand, lifted directly to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with ground handling on the apron covering the final metres of the route. Inflight catering in Iran generally follows the traffic pattern of its wide-body gateways, and aviation catering at Rasht is planned stand by stand rather than against a generic schedule, with airport catering at RAS logged against the loading sheet for that specific rotation. In-flight catering in Rasht runs off one ops desk regardless of segment.
On every one of those movements we commit to the same three things: one coordinator named for the rotation, carts sealed before they leave the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft that closes the load.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Rasht airport
01
Government and state flight catering at Rasht
A head of state aircraft boarding through Rasht is worked on the same wide-body reference code as any other movement on this stand, which is what lets the protocol file move at the same pace as the tray count. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations with the file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at OIGG
On the wide-body stand at Rasht, a 2,917-metre runway is what allows private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — to operate the household movements this station receives. Royal flight catering and VVIP work here are held to a written specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request, and catering at OIGG logged against that same specification every time.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at RAS
A full three-cabin uplift has to be staged in the order the galleys open, which the 2,917-metre runway at Rasht allows for ACMI and wet-lease operators working group movements and special missions on a wide-body airframe. Charter flight catering at Rasht is counted against the loading sheet cart by cart, and charter flight catering in Rasht repeats the same sequence whether the mission is a single rotation or a multi-leg tour.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Rasht
Rasht's wide-body reference code covers the layout our kitchen loads on every rotation through this stand, whether the carrier flies it as a scheduled route or an outstation. Ad hoc airline catering sits alongside outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering, with AOG covered on the same duty roster across a multi-leg schedule, and crew meals at Rasht boxed to the same standard as the passenger load, matched by crew meals at OIGG on the return sector, while outstation catering in Iran follows the same ad hoc airline catering pattern this station is built for.

Private jet and FBO catering at OIGG
Rasht's single runway, at 2,917 metres, still allows the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field to receive business aviation traffic alongside the wide-body schedule. Private jet catering in Rasht is delivered to those addresses on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, handled through our dedicated business aviation branch.

“For a team flight from Rasht (RAS/OIGG), we booked sports team charter catering with several dietary requests. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. The crew was happy with the organization. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Jean — Flight Services Coordinator
“For an urgent mission at Rasht (RAS/OIGG), the team supported us with repatriation flight catering. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. We appreciated the flexibility. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Marco — Cargo Flight Support Manager
“Our freighter crew needed cargo airline crew catering at Rasht (RAS/OIGG) during a short turnaround. They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. We would use them again for another cargo sector. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at RAS
Diversion catering and ramp questions at RAS
What operations gets asked every week about Rasht.
Ask operations directly →What special meal codes and religious meals can be produced for departures from RAS?
We produce halal and kosher sets along with the full range of IATA SPML codes, each one documented per passenger and sealed on a separate line before it leaves the kitchen.
Which lead time applies to a change of specification for a rotation through OIGG?
The loader and the cart route are booked ahead of the rotation, but the specification itself can still be adjusted close to departure; how far in advance the order is placed and how late a change is accepted both depend on cabin count and mission type, so last minute airline catering is worked case by case rather than against a fixed cut-off.
Given the single wide-body stand at this station, can airline catering be delivered airside in Rasht?
There is a hi-loader working this stand that lifts sealed carts straight to galley height, so airside delivery is the normal method here rather than an exception arranged in advance.
Do you publish a fixed rate for airline catering at Rasht Airport?
Yes, though only as a quotation rather than a published list, priced against cabin count, specification and the loading window for the specific rotation, with our desk coming back with a figure once those are known.
How does private jet catering reach an aircraft parked at the FBOs around RAS?
RAS routes that uplift through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, delivered on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline load rather than a separate standard for business aviation.
