Aviation catering — Shahrekord, Iran
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Shahrekord (OIFS / CQD)
CQD (IATA) · OIFS (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code assigned to Shahrekord governs the equipment cleared to reach a galley door here, and it sets the loading plan before a single tray is sealed. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at this station, boarding three cabins by hi-loader for scheduled, charter, VIP and government uplift.

Ramp access is what separates a foot-of-aircraft handover from a boarded uplift, and at Shahrekord the catering uplift moves under one continuous chain from seal to signature. The apron here governs how a hi-loader is sequenced against other ground traffic before it ever reaches the aircraft. Nothing about the route is estimated: the cart leaves the kitchen sealed and travels the same path every rotation.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Shahrekord sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built around whichever of those runs longest on a given day. We do not deliver the catering uplift to the foot of the aircraft and wait for a handler to carry it up; a hi-loader takes it directly to galley height under our own escort. Every cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, so the chain of custody survives the walk across the ramp intact. The temperature record travels with the seal, not separately from it.
One coordinator owns the seal from kitchen to galley, start to finish.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Shahrekord airport

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for CQD
Airport catering at Shahrekord is provisioned from a single production kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, run to HACCP standards from intake to seal. That structure is what lets airport catering here move a First-cabin tray and a crew meal box off the same line without either standard slipping. The cold chain is held from the larder to the sealed cart, with nothing warmed or repacked once it has left the kitchen door.
The team that handles government flight catering at Shahrekord is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and the kitchen alike, and is trained to household and protocol standards before a royal or state movement is ever assigned to them. The paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift is theirs to sign, start to finish.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Shahrekord (CQD)
VVIP catering to a written specification at OIFS
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, never the reverse. From passenger meal boxes to VVIP menus, the inflight catering plan built here draws on the produce of the surrounding region, dairy, orchard fruit and grains that travel well through a sealed cart, and it names no dish beyond that. A charter flight menu and a scheduled airline menu can share a kitchen line and still finish on different specifications, because each is built to its own brief. Every set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is loaded, covering allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements as a matter of record rather than exception.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Shahrekord are plated to a written specification rather than to a general standard, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so presentation repeats exactly on the next movement through CQD.

Business cabins
Business cabins at OIFS run on multi-choice hot service, boxed to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boarded in the same tray sets, boxed to the roster rather than to a fixed count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Shahrekord are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes under SPML. Each set is produced on a separate line at the kitchen and sealed before it leaves it, so inflight catering for a household or a delegation never shares a tray with the general cabin run.

Airport catering cold chain at Shahrekord, Iran
Aircraft catering delivered airside at OIFS / CQD
A single wide-body reference code sets the terms for every stand at Shahrekord, and the traffic that moves through it mixes scheduled service, charter movements and occasional government flights on the same apron. A delegation held to that stand becomes a documentation exercise as much as a loading one; a charter wave becomes a question of how many sealed carts the kitchen can turn in the window available.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, escorted across the apron and boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than left at the foot of the stand. Airline catering at CQD runs this way whether the rotation is a daily scheduled service or a single ad hoc call; airport catering in Iran more broadly follows the same loading method wherever a wide-body stand is available. Aviation catering in Iran depends on that same ramp discipline holding at every station, not just the busiest one.
On every rotation through this station, one coordinator carries the load from kitchen seal to aircraft signature, and the in-flight catering record for that rotation closes only once both are on file.

“We arranged delegation flight catering at Shahrekord (CQD/OIFS) for a sensitive movement. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. We were very satisfied with the level of coordination. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Bruno — Aviation Operations Executive
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Shahrekord (CQD/OIFS) and booked ACJ catering for the sector. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Omar — Duty Station Manager
“Our charter program used the service at Shahrekord (CQD/OIFS) for umrah flight catering. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. Good coordination for a high-volume movement. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Technical stop catering questions at Shahrekord (CQD)
What operations gets asked every week about Shahrekord.
Ask operations directly →When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at OIFS?
When the hi-loader is called to the stand, the sealed cart moves straight from our kitchen to the galley door, so airside delivery never passes through a handover at the foot of the aircraft.
Are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered at Shahrekord under protocol?
The same named coordinator who runs a scheduled rotation also runs VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, working to a protocol file documented per passenger for every movement.
Does Shahrekord Airport deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself receive private jet catering from the same kitchen line as the airline stands, on the same cold chain and paperwork throughout.
Where is airline catering cost confirmed for a rotation through CQD?
The quotation the desk returns is the record that confirms cost, built from cabin count, specification and loading window rather than a published price list.
