Aviation catering — Sabzevar, Iran
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Sabzevar (OIMS / AFZ)
AFZ (IATA) · OIMS (ICAO)
A wide-body arriving at Sabzevar (OIMS) is worked to the aerodrome's own reference code, which is what lets multi-class inflight catering move at volume across three cabins here rather than being split into partial loads. That in-flight catering reaches the galley by hi-loader, boarded to door height off the ramp, with the uplift sequenced against the loading sheet rather than guessed at, and inflight catering here runs on one ops desk handling scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements alike.

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

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, OIMS
The distance between our kitchen and Sabzevar's ramp is what the loading window at AFZ is built around, sealed cart by sealed cart rather than guessed. Every catering uplift is staged to clear the checkpoint and reach the stand inside a fixed sequence, with ramp access held on our own clearance so the convoy is not queued behind general apron traffic. That sequence is what a multi-leg rotation depends on when the turnaround is tight.

Between our kitchen and the stand at OIMS sit screening, an escort through airside and the ordinary traffic of the apron, and the loading window is set against the worst of those three rather than the best. Every catering uplift is sealed at the kitchen door, logged again at the aircraft, and the chain of custody runs on one named handover the whole way. A galley catering load that fails a seal check at either end is held back, not boarded, which is the point of logging both ends in the first place.
One responsibility, one seal, one signature, from the kitchen door to the aircraft.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Sabzevar (AFZ)

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Sabzevar airport
The flight kitchen that provisions AFZ runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, and that combination is what lets airport catering in Sabzevar move a full multi-class load without contracting out any single course. HACCP governs the whole floor, from goods-in to the sealed cart, and the cold chain is held from that point until the trays clear the galley door. Airport catering at Sabzevar is planned against the kitchen's own output, not against a shared facility serving several fields at once.
The team that handles government flight catering at OIMS is the same named crew on every rotation, carried on the access list rather than rotated in ad hoc. Security clearance is on file for each of them, and the training covers both royal household standards and the paperwork a sealed uplift has to travel with. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks before anything else, because a new face on the ramp is a new risk on the chain of custody.
Halal airline meals and special meals at OIMS / AFZ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Sabzevar (AFZ)
Menus at Sabzevar are written to the cabin and the mission rather than plated to a single fixed standard, so a First and VVIP specification, a Business rotation and a main cabin service each run to their own sheet from the same kitchen. Inflight catering here draws on the produce of the wider region — orchard fruit, dairy and grain lines available locally — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list, and adjusted with the season rather than held constant across the year. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, produced on their own line and sealed before they leave it. The same tray-set standard carries from a single ad hoc uplift through to a full multi-leg rotation.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sabzevar are plated to a written specification rather than a standard tray, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering in Iran is held to the same file across repeat rotations, so the presentation matches the standing order every time the aircraft returns to AFZ.

Business cabins
Business cabins at AFZ run multi-choice hot service to a fixed cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals in Sabzevar and crew meals in Iran are boarded the same way, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept separate and labelled to the roster rather than bundled with the passenger load.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements are documented per passenger at OIMS, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher meals produced to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering at OIMS keeps this production on a separate line, sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so a mixed cabin never carries an undocumented tray.

Compliance
Aircraft catering compliance at OIMS / AFZ
Flight catering airside delivery at AFZ
Sabzevar carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body stand, and that mix turns catering into a documentation exercise as much as a production one: a delegation calls for a protocol file per passenger, a charter calls for a full three-cabin load counted against one loading sheet, and a repeat rotation calls for the same specification held constant week after week. Airline catering and aviation catering at AFZ both run off the same ops desk rather than separate lines, which is what keeps a late change from becoming two conversations instead of one.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, cleared through the airside checkpoint on our own badges, and loaded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering in Iran is planned around that single stand rather than a bank of gates, so the loading sequence is fixed before the convoy leaves the kitchen. Inflight catering in Iran and airport catering at OIMS are both built on that same route, stand by stand rather than gate by gate.
One coordinator owns the rotation from seal to signature, and the handover at the aircraft is the same signed step whether the flight is a scheduled service or a government movement.

Ask operations directly →Which flights get private jet catering at the FBOs and the GA terminal in Sabzevar?
The same sealed cart and loading route used for an airline uplift also reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, so private jet catering and FBO catering follow one cold chain regardless of aircraft size.
When are halal, kosher and SPML meals produced for Sabzevar Airport?
Once an order specifies the requirement, halal, kosher and any of the IATA special meal codes are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before the trays are sealed.
What protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at AFZ?
We run VIP flight catering and government flight catering to a written protocol file, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for either type of movement.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at OIMS, and how does it board?
The route from our kitchen to the ramp is cleared on our own badges, and the uplift boards by hi-loader to galley height rather than being left at the foot of the aircraft.
