Aviation catering — Sanandaj, Iran
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Sanandaj (OICS / SDG)
SDG (IATA) · OICS (ICAO)
A 2640 m runway rated to a wide-body reference code puts Sanandaj within reach of scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements, and inflight catering here is boarded rather than delivered. Our hi-loader lifts sealed carts straight to galley height on the wide-body stand, so in-flight catering and every uplift reach the aircraft door, never the ramp beneath it.

Catering uplift timing at OICS
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Sanandaj
Loading a wide-body at Sanandaj starts with a sealed cart leaving our flight kitchen and ends at the galley door, and every stage between the two is logged rather than guessed at. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy crosses the apron on a route agreed with the handling agent rather than queued behind it. What the timeline below shows is that sequence, stage by stage, at OICS.
The convoy is the risk at Sanandaj, not the food: screening, an escort across the apron and general ramp traffic all sit between our kitchen and the wide-body stand. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest of them, holding the same route and the same escort on every rotation rather than negotiating one on the day. Chain of custody starts when the cart is sealed and does not break until a named handler signs for it at the galley catering point beside the aircraft. Temperatures are logged twice, at sealing and again at handover, and the signed sheet travels with the load.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley at Sanandaj.
Airline food supplier for Sanandaj airport rotations
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at SDG
The flight kitchen that provisions OICS runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, holding HACCP standards across every line rather than on the finished tray alone. Airport catering here is built on that single site: one cold chain from the walk-in to the sealed cart, and one HACCP record that travels with the uplift rather than stopping at the kitchen door. That structure is what lets airport catering at Sanandaj answer a scheduled rotation and a diverted one with the same production line.
The team that handles government flight catering at Sanandaj is the same named crew every rotation, security clearance held on file and checked against the access list before the shift starts. They are trained to royal household standards as well as to airline ones, so a state movement and a scheduled service draw on the same discipline rather than a separate one assembled for the day. That consistency is what keeps catering at OICS predictable across a repeat programme.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Sanandaj (SDG)
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at OICS
Menus at Sanandaj are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled sector and a state movement draw on the same kitchen under two different specifications. Where local sourcing applies, produce native to Iran and the wider Sanandaj region enters the plan in general terms: orchard fruit, dairy and grain rather than a named dish or supplier. Inflight catering in Sanandaj is planned against the season available rather than a catalogue held constant all year. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed for boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sanandaj are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for each household or state account, so the presentation repeats exactly across the programme.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OICS run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted that day, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately from the passenger load. Crew meals travel on their own roster line, so a change to the passenger count never touches the flight deck order.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at SDG are documented per passenger, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes on a single reference sheet. Inflight catering produced against those codes is prepared on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, keeping it apart from the general cabin run.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at OICS / SDG
Sanandaj takes scheduled, charter and government movements onto a single wide-body stand, and that mix sets the planning problem: a delegation brings a documentation load, a charter peak brings a capacity load, and a repeat rotation brings a repetition load the kitchen has to hold steady week after week. Airline catering at SDG is planned against whichever of those is active on the day, never against a fixed template.
The uplift leaves our flight kitchen as a sealed cart and reaches the aircraft by hi-loader, lifted straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the stand; our own escort walks it across the apron alongside the ramp handler on duty. Aviation catering in Iran runs on that same sequence at every station we work, and in-flight catering at OICS follows it cart for cart. Inflight catering at OICS is logged at both ends of that route, sealed at the kitchen and signed for at the aircraft.
What we commit to at Sanandaj is one named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts on every leg, and a signed handover at the galley door.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at SDG
01
Government and state flight catering at Sanandaj
The runway holds at 2640 metres, which keeps government flight catering at OICS working from one stand rather than a dedicated apron, so protocol has to be built into the sequence rather than run alongside it. Delegations and state visits are documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crews, and sealed at the kitchen before the cart ever reaches catering at SDG.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at SDG
Our crews hold the wide-body reference code as the working standard for every royal flight catering rotation through Sanandaj, whatever the aircraft type on the day. Household specifications stay on file between movements, so a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP — is boarded to the same written standard each time, halal and other household dietary requirements included on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Sanandaj
Wide-body governs the single stand at Sanandaj, and it is what lets a full three-cabin charter uplift board here rather than split across two positions. Charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, the same discipline applied to charter flight catering in Iran generally.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at OICS
A single wide-body stand and a 2640 m runway mean every rotation through Sanandaj is sequenced rather than run in parallel, and that sequencing is what ad hoc airline catering has to fit around. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation without a second stand to fall back on.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at SDG
A BBJ or ACJ-class aircraft can work the same wide-body stand that takes a scheduled service at Sanandaj, and that shared rating is what lets business aviation move through the field without a separate apron. Private jet catering in Sanandaj is handled by our dedicated branch, delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our flight at Sanandaj (SDG/OICS) required HACCP with clear service-by-service organization. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Good attention to the operational side of catering. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Faris — Ad Hoc Operations Manager
“For a changing schedule at Sanandaj (SDG/OICS), we needed flexible catering uplift. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Yuki — Ground Operations Manager
“We used the team for private jet menu at Sanandaj (SDG/OICS) on a VIP trip. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Once a slot and specification are confirmed, FBO catering reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Where are halal, kosher and SPML meals documented for SDG departures?
The reference sheet filed with each order records halal, kosher and the full IATA special meal code set, produced on a separate line and sealed before boarding.
