Aviation catering — Tehran, Iran
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Tehran (OIII / THR)
THR (IATA) · OIII (ICAO)
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let this station take multi-class widebodies on scheduled, charter, VVIP and government rotations, boarded from an ops desk that runs inflight catering, in-flight catering Iran and aviation catering off the same duty roster. Inflight catering THR moves by hi-loader to galley height, straight from the sealed cart, with no tray set left waiting on the ramp.

Wide-body aviation catering at THR
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Tehran, Iran
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Tehran airport
The loading window at Tehran runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, tracked stage by stage rather than promised as a round figure. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy moves without waiting on a shared gate. Every catering uplift into a wide-body cabin here follows the same sequence, whatever the mission behind it.
Between our kitchen and the OIII stand sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is the part of the sequence we plan against, not the food. A diversion or a tight turnaround changes the route across the field, never the standard the catering uplift is held to once it clears the gate. THR catering runs on one chain of custody from seal to signature: the temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at the galley door, and the same handover sheet that opens the load closes it, so galley catering reaching the aircraft carries a documented record rather than a verbal assurance.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley door, nothing loose in between.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving OIII / THR
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Tehran (THR)
The kitchen behind airport catering OIII runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding wide-body rotations across scheduled, charter and government traffic. Airport catering Tehran holds its cold chain from the larder to the sealed cart, under an HACCP-run production standard rather than an improvised one. Flight kitchen THR output is built to fill a full three-cabin load without splitting a rotation across two production runs.
The team behind government flight catering here is a named crew held to the same roster every rotation, not rotated in ad hoc for a single movement. Security clearance is on file for each member, access lists are checked before a cart moves, and household service standards are trained rather than assumed on the day. Chain of custody paperwork travels with the sealed uplift from the larder to the signature at the aircraft.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Tehran
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Tehran, Iran
Menus for Tehran departures are chef-designed and adapted to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than fixed to a single template repeated on every rotation. Iranian orchard fruit, dairy and regional produce feature where the season allows, worked into main cabin trays as readily as into a First cabin course. Inflight catering Iran is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, each set labelled and traceable back to its own cabin. Special meal codes are produced on their own line, sealed separately, so a dietary set never depends on a substitution made at the last minute.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Tehran are plated to a written specification rather than a set menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request for the mission. VIP flight catering Iran keeps that specification on file between rotations, so the presentation is filed once and repeated exactly on the next movement rather than reconstructed each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OIII run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals Tehran and cabin crew meals travel in their own tray sets, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger meal boxes loaded for the cabin.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at THR cover household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, from halal and kosher trays to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering Tehran produces each of these on a separate line and seals it there, so a dietary tray reaches the galley exactly as specified rather than adjusted stand-side.

Flight catering airside delivery at OIII
Tehran runs scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic across two runways rated to a wide-body reference code, and that mix sets the catering load differently by segment: a delegation brings a documentation load, a charter wave brings a capacity load, a repeat scheduled rotation brings a repetition load the kitchen plans against week on week. Airline catering OIII moves from the flight kitchen to the ramp by hi-loader, boarded to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with ground handling covering the apron leg of the route. Aviation catering THR, in-flight catering OIII and inflight catering OIII all run off the one ops desk that plans the stand sequence for this field, so a wide-body movement is worked to a single loading plan rather than several parallel ones. Airport catering here is planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own clearance rather than borrowed from a third party. One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load at the stand.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at THR
01
Government and state flight catering at Tehran
The wide-body reference code at OIII clears this field for the aircraft that carry state visits and official delegations, and government flight catering follows on the same clearance. Head of state movements are documented per passenger, security-cleared staff handle the uplift, and the load is sealed before it leaves the kitchen rather than at the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at OIII
OIII's two runways and wide-body rating take the private airliners this segment flies — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — on repeat rotations rather than one-off movements. Royal flight catering here holds a royal household specification on file between movements, with VVIP dietary and halal requirements produced on request rather than reconstructed each time.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at THR
The wide-body stands at OIII take a full three-cabin load in one sequence, which is what ACMI, wet-lease and group charter movements need on a single turnaround. Charter flight catering Iran covers tour operator and sports team charters alongside repatriation and humanitarian missions, with charter flight catering THR counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order across each multi-leg rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Tehran
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let OIII take carriers running this station as an outstation, not only home-based schedules. Ad hoc airline catering Iran covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG uplifts folded into the same rotation, and crew meals THR and crew meals OIII boxed to the multi-leg pattern the roster runs on.

Private jet and FBO catering at OIII
The same wide-body reference code that clears OIII for scheduled widebodies also covers the GA terminal and the stands business aviation is worked from. Private jet catering Iran is delivered to the FBOs on the field through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all held to the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We arranged sports team charter catering for the group at Tehran (THR/OIII) after a late schedule update. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. The crew was happy with the organization. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Tehran
Crew meals, lead times and access at Tehran
What operations gets asked every week about Tehran.
Ask operations directly →How far does airline catering at THR reach the aircraft, and how does the uplift get airside?
Airside delivery here runs on our own ramp clearance, with the sealed cart moved by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.
Can halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes be produced for a rotation through OIII?
The full SPML range is produced here, with halal and kosher trays built on a separate line and documented per passenger before sealing.
How far in advance does a specification need to be placed for a rotation through Tehran?
Tehran works on a standard lead time for a full three-cabin order, and a specification can still be revised closer to departure than a first booking suggests, subject to the loading window on the day.
Tehran Airport — how much does airline catering cost for a wide-body rotation?
The hi-loader and sealed-cart handling used on every load here are part of what a quotation covers, alongside cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, so the desk prices each rotation rather than quoting from a fixed list.
Under what protocol are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered at THR?
There is a standing protocol file for government flight catering and VIP flight catering at this station, covering security-cleared staff, documentation per passenger and a sealed uplift closed before it leaves the kitchen.
