Aviation catering — Tabriz, Iran
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Tabriz (OITT / TBZ)
TBZ (IATA) · OITT (ICAO)
A 3604 m runway lets wide-body aircraft operate at Tabriz, and that reach is what our inflight catering answers, ready to board full three-cabin loads from ramp to galley. In-flight catering here moves by hi-loader to galley height, with the flight kitchen close enough for a tight uplift covering scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements.

Aircraft catering lead times at Tabriz airport
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at TBZ
Ramp access at Tabriz is what turns a kitchen output into a boarded uplift rather than a delivery left at the stand. Our crews carry the sealed cart across the apron and hand it up through the galley door themselves, on our own clearance. That single handover, timed against the rotation rather than the clock, is the catering uplift this station is built to run.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Tabriz sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and we plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the best case. The convoy carries more risk than the galley catering itself, so the route, the escort and the checkpoint sequence are fixed before the cart ever leaves the kitchen door. Temperature is logged at sealing and again at handover, and a single named coordinator signs the load at both ends, closing the chain of custody the moment it reaches the galley.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley door, nothing in between left open.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Tabriz (TBZ)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for OITT
Tabriz is provisioned from a flight kitchen built to HACCP standard, running hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof rather than as separate contracts. That single-roof model is what airport catering depends on when a wide-body rotation needs First, Business and main cabin loaded from one order rather than three. Airport catering in Tabriz and airport catering in Iran both draw on the same cold chain, so a diversion or an ad hoc uplift is provisioned to the same standard as a scheduled departure.
Government flight catering at Tabriz is worked by the same named team on every rotation, rather than whoever is on shift that day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and the kitchen, and is trained to the household service standards a protocol movement expects. That continuity, not a larger roster, is what lets a sealed uplift move from kitchen to aircraft without a new team learning the file each time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Tabriz, Iran
VVIP catering to a written specification at Tabriz airport
Menus at Tabriz are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a single fixed offer, moving from a First-cabin plated service to galley-ready meal boxes on the same rotation. Inflight catering at Tabriz draws where it can on regional produce from northwestern Iran, kept general to dairy, orchard fruit and fresh produce rather than a named dish or supplier. Seasonal menu cycles are reviewed on a set schedule while the tray specification and the plating standard behind them stay fixed. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled through to the galley rather than left to a verbal note.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Tabriz are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for the mission. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so the same presentation repeats on every rotation, not just the first one.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OITT run a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, with oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in the same tray sets as passenger service, and pilot meals are boxed separately against the duty roster.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Tabriz are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Iran produces these on a separate line from the main cabin service and seals them before they leave the kitchen.

Flight catering airside delivery at Tabriz
Tabriz runs on two runways built to a wide-body reference code, which puts scheduled, charter and government traffic on the same ramp rather than split across separate aprons. That mix turns catering into a documentation problem on a delegation day and a capacity problem on a peak wave, and the two rarely land on the same rotation but both have to be planned for.
The uplift travels from our flight kitchen to the stand and up through the galley door by hi-loader, with our own crew on the apron rather than a handover at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering in Tabriz and aviation catering in Tabriz both run off this same route, so an ad hoc order follows the identical loading sequence as a scheduled one. In-flight catering at TBZ and airport catering at TBZ are planned stand by stand, with inflight catering at OITT logged against the same loading sheet the ramp team carries.
One coordinator signs the load at both ends of every rotation, sealed cart to galley door, so the handover is never split between two names.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at OITT
01
Government and state flight catering at OITT
A wide-body reference code at this field means a head of state aircraft is worked on the same stands as scheduled traffic, so the protocol file has to be closed before the aircraft is on the ramp rather than after. Government flight catering at Tabriz covers state visits and official delegations with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed at the kitchen before it leaves.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at TBZ
Wide-body reference code, which means a private airliner the size of a BBJ or an ACJ is handled here on the same stands as scheduled aircraft rather than a separate apron. Royal flight catering at this station holds household standards across repeat rotations, from a written specification kept on file, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Tabriz
Our kitchen provisions charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators using the wide-body stands here, covering group movements and special missions on the same production line as scheduled work. Charter flight catering for multi-leg rotations is staged as a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at OITT
Two runways rated to a wide-body reference code put Tabriz on the outstation list for carriers that do not base aircraft here but still need ad hoc airline catering on short notice. Diversion catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty roster as a scheduled load, with outstation catering at Tabriz covering AOG across a multi-leg rotation; crew meals at TBZ and crew meals at OITT travel on that same roster.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at TBZ
The 3604 m runway also brings business aviation onto this field, and that traffic is worked by our dedicated private jet catering branch rather than folded into the airline schedule. FBO catering reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as a business aviation catering order at OITT.

“Our flight at Tabriz (TBZ/OITT) required galley ready meals with clear service-by-service organization. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Leo — Operations Support Coordinator
“For a changing schedule at Tabriz (TBZ/OITT), we needed flexible catering uplift. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Fiona — Duty Station Manager
“I needed reliable FBO catering at Tabriz (TBZ/OITT) for a same-day departure. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

What operations gets asked every week about Tabriz.
Ask operations directly →Where can I find out how much airline catering costs at Tabriz?
The quotation is built from the specification file: cabin count, tray standard and the loading window requested, since no fixed price list is published. Our desk returns a quotation once those details are confirmed for the rotation.
Who signs off halal, kosher and SPML sets at Tabriz Airport?
For every passenger requiring one, halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes are documented against the booking. These special meals are produced on a separate line and sealed before they leave the kitchen.
At what point does an order need to be placed for TBZ?
At booking stage we ask for cabin counts and any special meal codes, with the lead time set from there. How far in advance depends on the mission, but a specification can still change close to departure, right up to the point last minute airline catering allows.
Is government and royal protocol catering handled at OITT?
The same named coordinator handles VIP flight catering and government flight catering at this station, working to a fixed protocol file rather than a general menu. Security clearance and household standards apply throughout.
When does airline catering reach the aircraft at Tabriz?
When the hi-loader is called to the stand, airside delivery runs straight from the sealed cart to the galley door rather than to the foot of the aircraft. That is how airline catering is boarded here on every rotation.
Does Tabriz International Airport support private jet catering to the FBOs?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal receive private jet catering and FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
