Aviation catering — Sirjan, Iran
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Sirjan (OIKY / SYJ)
SYJ (IATA) · OIKY (ICAO)
Our kitchen boards a wide-body reference code at Sirjan, so a full three-cabin uplift moves from sealed cart to galley door on one hi-loader cycle, airside, without a foot-of-aircraft handoff. Inflight catering here runs off one ops desk for scheduled, charter, VVIP, government and private jet flights, and in-flight catering at OIKY is planned stand by stand rather than left to a generic sheet.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, SYJ
The loading window at Sirjan is measured from the sealed cart at our flight kitchen to the galley door, not estimated after the fact. Every catering uplift on a wide-body rotation here moves through the same checkpoints, so the minutes logged are the minutes a duty roster can plan against. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, which keeps the sequence under one authority from seal to signature.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Sirjan sit screening, an escort through the apron traffic and the final approach to the aircraft, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst case of all three rather than the average one. Galley catering only counts once it clears the door at the time the roster needs it, so the route is walked before it is driven. Temperature is logged at sealing and again at handover, and the sheet that closes the load carries a signature at both ends of the chain of custody.
One coordinator, one seal, one signature: the convoy is the risk we manage, not the food.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Sirjan (SYJ) departures

Airline food supplier crews cleared for OIKY
The flight kitchen behind OIKY runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding every stand this station works. Airport catering at Sirjan is planned from that single facility rather than split across outstations, and airport catering in Iran for a wide-body rotation draws on the same production line for every cabin. HACCP governs the process from goods-in to the sealed cart, and the cold chain is held continuously from that seal to the galley door at the flight kitchen at SYJ.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Security clearance is on file for each of them, they sit on the access list for the ramp, and they are trained to royal household standards as well as to a standard commercial brief. That team carries the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift, so the same hands that packed the cart are accountable for the chain of custody at handover.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Sirjan, Iran
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Sirjan airport
Menus at Sirjan are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed offer, so a scheduled rotation and a VIP flight menu draw on the same kitchen under different specifications. Inflight catering here works from produce and dairy typical of this region of Iran, kept general rather than tied to a named grower or a single dish. Charter flight menu work and passenger meal boxes for a commercial cycle both leave the same line, staged to the loading order rather than to convenience. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, so a special meal is never a late addition to the load.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at OIKY are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed set menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order on file. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeated the same way on every rotation, so the presentation matches what protocol expects without a fresh brief each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at Sirjan take a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals at OIKY and cabin crew meals travel in the same tray sets as the passenger load, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster so crew meals at Sirjan never compete with the cabin count for space.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at SYJ are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets produced to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Iran for this station keeps that production on a separate line, sealed before it leaves the kitchen so a dietary tray never shares a cart with the general load.

Compliance
Aircraft catering compliance at Sirjan (SYJ)
Flight catering airside delivery at Sirjan
Sirjan carries a wide-body reference code on a single runway, which means the traffic that lands here arrives in irregular but heavy movements rather than a dense scheduled bank, and a delegation or a peak charter wave is treated as a documentation and capacity event rather than routine turnaround. Airline catering at OIKY is built around that pattern: a rotation booked with short notice is planned the same way as a standing weekly service, because the kitchen and the ramp crew both work from the same loading sheet regardless of frequency.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader from our flight kitchen, boarded directly at the galley door rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own ramp crew escorting every cart across the apron. Aviation catering in-flight catering at OIKY and inflight catering at SYJ both run off the same route and the same badges, so a scheduled service and an ad hoc charter draw on identical airside delivery. Airport catering in Sirjan is planned stand by stand rather than against a generic template, because the single wide-body stand here sets the sequence for every movement that uses it.
On every rotation we commit to one coordinator holding the load from seal to signature, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover that closes the chain of custody before departure.

“We needed an airline ops catering supplier at Sirjan (SYJ/OIKY) and the support was excellent. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Nathan — Airport Services Manager
“We used the service for private jet catering in Sirjan on a VIP rotation through SYJ/OIKY. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. I would use them again for another flight from Sirjan. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Sirjan, Iran
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Sirjan, Iran
What operations gets asked every week about Sirjan.
Ask operations directly →How much does airline catering cost for a rotation through Sirjan?
Sirjan does not carry a published price list, because airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window booked for the rotation. Our ops desk returns a quotation once those three points are confirmed.
Which routes do you use for private jet catering at Sirjan Airport?
The sealed cart moves by hi-loader from our flight kitchen to the stand, the same route used for a scheduled rotation. Private jet catering reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on that route, with FBO catering held to the same cold chain as an airline load.
What protocol governs VIP and government flights at SYJ?
We document the protocol file per passenger and assign security-cleared staff to every VIP flight catering and government flight catering load at this station. VVIP and royal movements follow the same written specification kept on file between rotations.
When are halal, kosher and special meal codes produced for a flight through OIKY?
When the order is confirmed, halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA SPML codes are booked onto a separate production line at the flight kitchen. Once sealed, they travel with their own documentation through to the galley door.
