Aviation catering — Sarakhs, Iran
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Sarakhs (OIMC / CKT)
CKT (IATA) · OIMC (ICAO)
Sarakhs holds a wide-body reference code on its single runway, so the ramp is built to load a full-size aircraft rather than a light regional type. That capability supports inflight catering and in-flight catering delivered by hi-loader to galley height, with wide-body uplift staged airside on the same apron the aircraft parks on.

Catering uplift timing at CKT
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at OIMC / CKT
Sarakhs runs one wide-body-rated runway, so every movement through it shares the same ramp sequence rather than a choice of parallel stands. Catering at OIMC is planned around that single approach, with the cart sealed at the kitchen and released only once the stand is confirmed. Ramp access here is held on our own clearance, not arranged case by case once the aircraft is already on chocks.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Sarakhs sit screening, an escort convoy and apron traffic sharing the single runway's arrival and departure flow. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it, holding the schedule to the slower case instead of hoping for the faster one. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover on the stand, and a named handler signs the galley catering load before the door closes.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing loaded in between unsupervised.
Crew meals and pilot meals for OIMC departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Sarakhs
Airport catering at CKT is produced on a line built for wide-body volume rather than for light aircraft turned around quickly. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof, run to HACCP standard so the same file covers a scheduled sector and a diplomatic movement alike. Airport catering in Sarakhs and the flight kitchen at CKT share that one specification, which is what lets a wide-body cabin be reloaded to the same standard on the return leg.
The team behind government flight catering at Sarakhs is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to household service standards as well as to airline tray-set procedure. That consistency is what keeps a sealed uplift and its paperwork moving through the chain of custody without a new introduction at every handover.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Sarakhs airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at CKT
Menus for the three cabins are written to the mission first and the season second, never plated to a fixed weekly cycle regardless of who is flying. Inflight catering in Sarakhs draws on the country's dairy, orchard fruit and river fish where the season allows, built into a specification rather than into a single fixed dish list. A scheduled sector, a charter group and a VVIP movement each take a different structure from that same kitchen, adjusted for cabin count and length of rotation. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before it leaves the kitchen rather than checked on board.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins boarded at Sarakhs take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set menu. Presentation is filed against the standing order so a repeat movement is served to the same standard each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OIMC take multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals in Iran are boarded on the same rotation, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept separate and boxed to the roster rather than pooled with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at CKT are documented per passenger rather than assumed from the manifest, covering household, religious and medical needs against a written file. Halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before departure, with inflight catering in Iran carrying that same documentation through to handover.

Flight catering airside delivery at Sarakhs, Iran
Sarakhs carries a wide-body reference code on a single runway, which means every movement through the field, from a scheduled sector to an official delegation, is worked through one ramp sequence rather than a choice of parallel routings. A delegation brings a protocol file to check line by line; a peak wave brings a capacity question the kitchen has to answer before the cart leaves; a repeat rotation brings the same specification back for reloading. Airline catering in Iran reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader to galley height, not left at the foot of the stairs, with airside delivery staged from the flight kitchen and cleared drivers carrying the load across the apron on their own badges. In-flight catering in Sarakhs and aviation catering at CKT run off the same duty roster and the same sealed-cart procedure, whichever segment is loading that day.
We commit one coordinator to each rotation through OIMC, from the kitchen seal to the signed handover on the stand, so inflight catering at Sarakhs and airport catering at OIMC never pass through an unlogged step between production and the galley door.

“For our departure from Sarakhs (CKT/OIMC), we specifically needed tray set catering airline. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Very cabin-friendly catering. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

We appreciated how easy the coordination was. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

What operations gets asked every week about Sarakhs.
Ask operations directly →When can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Sarakhs?
When a movement is confirmed on the field, FBO catering is delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the same schedule and paperwork as an airline uplift.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at Sarakhs Airport?
Sarakhs Airport takes airline catering by airside delivery straight to the wide-body stand, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.
What does airline catering cost at CKT?
We price each quotation against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than a fixed list, and the desk returns a figure once those are confirmed.
Is there a set lead time for an order at OIMC, and how far in advance should it be placed?
The coordinator on duty confirms how far in advance a booking should land and how late a specification can still change, since lead time depends on the mission and the cabin count involved, and last minute airline catering is worked case by case rather than refused outright.
Which protocol covers VIP, VVIP and government flight catering in Sarakhs?
The sealed cart and hi-loader route used for a scheduled sector also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering, run to the same protocol file and security clearance regardless of mission.
